Cannot connect to the forum

by Mukoro January 5th 2013, 2:11 am

Hi, I'm having some difficulties connecting to a forum. I think I might know the issue, which would be creating about 15 accounts for future use in a short amount of time. At a certain moment I couldn't connect to the forum at all without having to use a proxy. I talked to the owner about it and he said that he didn't ban me in the IP ban control page, nor was my IP there. So I was wondering, is there some way I can connect again without not being able to enter the forum ever again? o.o

yrs truly,

Muk.

What message do you get when you try to log onto the forum?

by Mukoro January 5th 2013, 2:16 am

None. I simply cannot connect to it at all.

So what exactly happens after you enter your log in information? Or do you mean the forum will not even load?

by Mukoro January 5th 2013, 2:18 am

The forum will not even load.

Do you get any kind of message from the browser?

by Mukoro January 5th 2013, 2:29 am

Strangely enough, I'm able to connect now. (Not sure why or how) You can mark this as solved I s'pose.

okay This looks to me that you still have a problem with your computer

What computer Do you have its it running windows ?

If yes then i can give you some thing else to try

Haha it looks to me that your computer took some time to clear its cookie

Glad you can get back in your forum now Wink

However my laptop still cannot connect to the site. I'm running Windows XP. My Laptop is running Windows 7.

Ninja-edit: My theory is that forumotion blocks you out for an hour or so if you create too many accounts.

ok give this a little try click your start menu on your windows 7 computer and in the search box type in Disk Clean Up
when this comes up
run that program

it should ask you what drive to clean click C:/
tick all the little boxes and then click ok
when this is done reboot your laptop / computer and then try again
