Just wanted to let our users know about a problem I had this morning, when trying to make a post here on the BB.

When I tried to "submit" the post, it said I was BLOCKED from making any posts on the website.

Since Harlady and I are the only ones currently able to MANUALLY block anyone, I did some checking to find out what was going on.

It turned out that one of the anti-spam programs I have running on this site, blocked my IP address due to SPAM.

The IP address I was using at the time, comes from my Internet provider and since many of the large Internet providers CHANGE the IP address coming from your local computer every 15 minutes, to 4 hours, throughout the day, I simply waited until later in the day and logged in again, using a private window, ( so my cache would be cleared) and I was able to post just fine.

So, the bottom line here is the problem was not with this message board or my computer, but rather through my Internet provider, so if anyone here has a problem posting and you get a message sending you to https://spamhaus.org it will most likely be a result of your Internet Provider too.

IF you don't know you IP address throughout the day, you can always go to: https://whatismyipaddress.com/ to find out.

As a footnote, I have also posted a message in the PRIVATE MEMBERS section about a road trip I am making to GA and TN next week and will update it accordingly after I get back.
