Post by: Bodø on December 26, 2025, 05:23:48 PM: Until today I've always been logged in but now the forum keeps logging me out, even when I choose the forever option.

I've had that issue for months now!
I've given up trying to find out why... :popcorn

It seems that if you clear any session cookies for this site, it should clear the problem.

Clear for your web browser

Can you give more details on the message?? If you are using a VPN , that may be the problem, as a lot of them are blocked.

Post by: Shillas on December 27, 2025, 01:36:09 PM: This has been the message I've been getting

"Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!
Weird user name and email
Spam and Brute force attacks
This ban is not set to expire."

I've cleared cookies etc & turned off my VPN.

I can now login on Google Chrome but still blocked with Firefox and DuckDuckGo.

So at least I've made some progress

I have found the problem, it was with your provider Datapacket.com. It in sydney, and also Amsterdam . It has been used for spam and brute force attacks. I have unblocked the provider, but some of their IP ranges will still trigger. You may need to clear the cache again, but you should be good to go now.

It did take a bit of sleuthing to sort the problem..

Bodo,

I dont know why your problem pops up, but my research seems to suggest a problem on your end. I dont know what browser / puter system you are using so cant help more
