Mick, I was able to login an hour or two ago (my ip address when I logged in at Old Sparkey was 120.28.211.108 so apparently this is one that is not yet being blocked) ... and I already posted a request for help over there, but thanks for the offer to help.

If Chuck said he did it, he did it. Well, if he did it I have news for him -- it didn't stick. In fact, ever since I first had this problem it has never been fixed, instead it has gotten worse. Chuck fully acknowledges Neil is the computer brain behind his forum. But does Neil ever do anything to f...

Jimmy, your experience confirms without a doubt what I have suspected all along -- the Old Sparkey Forum is banning people based on their ip addresses. My problem is worse than yours though, because even when my DSL modem loses its connection and re-connects again (or when I turn it off and then on ...

Okay, but have you tried signing up with a new user-name? I tried, it is impossible: I cannot visit any page while I'm banned because no matter what page I try to visit, I am always redirected to the 'you're banned' page. This means I cannot go to the registration page so how can I sign up with a n...

Hi John, I cannot visit any page while I'm banned because no matter what page I try to visit, I am always redirected to the 'you're banned' page. And here's the thing that makes me believe that this problem is totally unrelated to my account: I have manually deleted ALL the cookies from the site (nu...

Banned again at Old Sparkey Forum
I know some of the folks here are also members of Old Sparkey Forum, and that's why I'm posting this here ... I've been 'banned' for months, maybe even a year or two, at Old Sparkey Forum. No one really banned me of course, but apparently the forum software is configured to disallow logins from my I...

Do you use a static IP address or use some proxy method? No ... but if there's no banning being done by ip address this wouldn't help anyways. If you use a static IP address that does not change, Chuck should be able to set you up for easy and consistent access. Too bad this is not an option, but o...

Re: Banned from Chucks forum
Not sure what I said, but I've been banned from the Southern Paddler's Forum. Don't take it personally Lee, I've been banned on and off (mostly on) for the better part of a year. I tried again today and I'm still banned ... so if it's true that the ban is not related to my IP address then I guess i...
