I recall him being rather partial to a certain cheddar earlier this year before his success in the resale! 🙂

Just tried to look at the forum from my phone and I've been banned. Seems I can get on at work though. Any particular reason?

Presumably you're on WiFi at work, whereas on mobey you're in the same range as somebody who has been ip banned.

I've got a feeling it dates back to the apple v android 'debate' a few weeks ago, where everybody who admitted to owning an apple device was labelled as an upper class twit with money to burn

It’s either that, or @Crazyfool01 has gone power mad.

[km9]

Thanks all. I promise to be kind.

If it was for asking whether anybody thought Garth Brooks could be in the legend spot, then I fully deserve it

Unless your mobile network is doing something exceptionally unusual, IP range is totally unrelated to device type.

No you've misunderstood, I meant that there was a bit of a row between lots of people on here, not that iphones were banned from accessing the site

Hi @Neil my access to efestivals over WiFi has been banned in the last 4 hours or so but is working on my mobile internet. Is this an IP ban?

 

edit: just tried again and it worked

There was a block ban of certain IP ranges, it's not personal, you're not banned yourself. It's just that for now your router has connected through your ISP using an IP in the blocked range. Restarting your router may or may not put it in a none blocked IP, may take a couple of attempts, may not ever give you a safe IP, cannot be sure. 

Just rest assured it's not you, you're just unfortunate collateral damage. A VPN also fixes it. 🙂

Another one here who’s IP has been banned for some reason. Can’t access via my laptop or phone. Can only get on via my iPad. 
 

Hopefully not permanent or there’s a fix? Would hate to lose access to this forum 

 

Edit: this has only happened in the last few hours. Was working fine yesterday and even first thing this morning

I know I've mentioned before, but also last plead for some kind of fix my IP also banned and means I only get intermittent access a couple of times a week.

Just a heads up, for folks like @mike46 and @Bike_Like_A_Mum

Just because this has only just happened, doesn't necessarily mean @Neil has been swinging the banning axe again. He may have been, I don't know, but it could also just mean that your router / device has cycled onto a new IP address within the already banned range of addresses.

Most ISPs these days use dynamic IP addresses, which means your IP address will change regularly. If you ISP puts you on one within the banned range, then BAM, device blocked. Until you're given an IP address outside the banned range again.  

Or maybe he has just done another round of mass killings... Who knows. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks! It was definitely the IP thing rather than a ban. I reset my router which fixed the laptop and turned my phone on/off which seemed to sort that 🙂

A very interesting thread. I hope the changes re: Crazyfool01 work and that he and Neil see benefit.
