Banned from forum ???

[holtadit]

When i try to log on using IE8 I receive a message from the forum saying:


Sorry Ari Ben Canaan, you have been banned from using this forum.


Whats up with that ? I m using chrome right now...

Does your IP address change when you are using Internet Explorer from the one you using in google chrome?

If that's even possible this might mean that you got trapped with a banned member's IP address.

How do I check/determine whether my IP adress changes when i use IE ?

Please help.

[Monica]

This link shows your IP http://whatismyipaddress.com/ (do not post your IP in public)

but I can see your IP address. I dont know, you are not there in the ban list.

I will ask Astar maybe.

Yes I think the same.

Meaning that when we banned a person on his IP address, your IP was similar to his, so you also got banned.

I tracked you, but you had many members having the same IP as you. I will look for which one of them is banned and ill not ban on IP address. I will just try.

Open command prompt.

Type "ipconfig /release". Press enter. Then try logging in whenever the problem occurs.

uhm no. you dont have a different IP address when you use a different browser.
ur banned on IE because its storing a cookie saying ur banned.
meaning u logged into a banned account..

careful now...

Hey peoples the problem still persists. I need help quick.

I tried your IPconfig/relealse thingy but it doesnt work.

Whos the guy with the same IP as me ? At least place an unblock on me for the time being, I keep having to go to the internet cafe (thats where I am now) to post on SF.

Simply dont use IE, use firefox instead.

[$tyli$h Executive]

Oh sorry, there was a mistake.

Type "ipconfig /release" (without the quotes, on the command line by itself).
Type "ipconfig /renew" (without the quotes, on the command line by itself).

This will change your IP automatically

[Saladin]

actually, that will simply see if the ip has changed, but well, u can try using a proxy.

But the renew shud work, cud u previously log onto here with IE8 b4?

Yes please you guys try fixing the problem I am not an expert in tech like you. 

if there is anything I can do, just let me know.
