danssol Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Still getting regularly banned from the site when using Safari on my Iphone. Doesn't seem to matter if I am on Mobile Data or my home wifi. Using Chrome on my phone works without issue. Anyone else still getting banned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktea Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Yes, its an intermittent issue for me. Happened a lot yesterday but logged in just now without problem. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondo Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 I've not had it for a week or 2 but was getting it fairly regularly when on Chrome on my android phone and on mobile data Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny-yen Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Yes me too. Thought my negative views on Guns n Roses must have got me kicked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Morning all! Could you please elaborate on what you mean by "banned"? Is it that you can't access the site? Would like to get this resolved so any further info is welcome. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouds Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 It will be the IP address you’re using at the time has previously been banned. If you have a VPN on your phone just switch to that and it will likely work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocketrocket Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 I had this a few weeks ago, I was using free WiFi on a train, switched to mobile data and it was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambooShanks Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 happens to me occasionally when accessing using my mobile data in certain locations so I'm assuming it's because my IP address may be straying into the ones that were banned.

Would like to get this resolved so any further info is welcome. Thanks! Get a message like this. Switching phone off and on normally works but it's a pain. As I said happens to me on mobile data which isn't ideal when about to be on that at Glastonbury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookAngel Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 I use Firefox for Android, if we're talking browsers - it's happened to me twice while out and about. However, just switching to airplane mode very briefly then refreshing was enough to sort it and I didn't need to restart my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipine Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 I get it occasionally on chrome on my iPhone, if I switch to a PC I can always get in so it’s not my account it’s device or browser specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJP Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Yes - this happens to me a lot also. Mostly on my home (Virgin Media) broadband but sometimes on my 5G. Seems a little excessive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sort of open city centre Wi-Fi ? As IPs aren’t aren’t geographical down to City level, only ISP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
