I've made a couple of replies to posts which haven't appeared. Is there any IP based filtering going on as I'm using a VPN service.
-
We do have a little IP filtering in use due to attacks by spammers from around the world, mainly in the far east and old russian states. But that is mainly done through a system which prevents registration (Stop Forum Spam), rather than posts.

The first time I thought I might have pressed preview rather than post; but I'm pretty sure I didn't this morning though. Multiple senior moments ? :unsure: ::) PEBKAC ? I'll keep an eye on it.

Or perhaps PICNIC :nowink:
-
Nope its definitely not me - it just swallowed another one in the "what's for tea" thread.
-
You must be using some dodgy IPS :ohmy:
I'll have a look down stairs and see what I can find.
-
What VPN are you using Lardman, if you don't mind me asking?
-
NordVPN or IPVanish depending on which system I'm logged into.

Why do you need to use a VPN while visiting this forum Lardman ?

I don't - I just don't turn it off to visit :nowink:
It's not a problem if that's the cause, I just haven't noticed it before and wondered if it was related to the lock down over Christmas.
