Banned Notification When Logging In
Posted: 10 Oct 2020 12:29
Good afternoon all.
This morning members had been receiving notification when logging in that they had been banned, specifically their IP address had been.
This occurred shortly after I had banned a new member, their associated email address and IP address for spamming this forum.
Having unbanned the IP address of this banned member, everyone should be able to login as usual.
I am now 99% sure that what is happening is the new server is assigning everyone that attempts to login the same IP address. So when I banned one member, it banned everyone, albeit each member does have a different IP address. I will take this up with the hosting company.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Any question I will be happy to address them.
Best regards,
Carl
