I got banned from using this forum...........on my phone!!
« on: June 02, 2012, 12:00:29 AM »
Seriously, I need some help here.
I was scrolling through a couple of threads using my phone...
when suddenly I got this page come up--

An Error Has Occurred,
Sorry saram_, you are banned from using this forum!
girls generation thread;gyopo comment
This ban is not set to expire.


I got this message about 30 mins ago..
I have never even looked at such a thread here.
I've tried a good few times since to enter waygook.org on my phone (even using a google search etc) but this message keeps coming up...

How is this so?? :o I can use this site fine here on the computer but not on my phone.
I've attached a screenshot of the message when I try to enter waygook.org for some proof..

You can thank a previous user for that.  When he got banned, the IP addresses he was using were banned, too.  If you are using a phone, or using a school or PC Bang computer, that was banned along with a troll you may have trouble logging in.  We usually don't ban IP addresses anymore for precisely that reason.  I went back and unblocked those addresses so anybody happening to be using them (including you) should be able to log in to the forum.  Thanks for letting us know, and sorry for the annoyance / inconvenience.

Thanks, Its been fixed now..

Don't understand how I have the same IP address on my phone as a contributor before since I was the only owner of my Iphone as I bought it new...
(or maybe not then) but anyway there you go.
