CP Error?

[Ryex]

the reason reseting your router would work is you would get a new. but this only happens if you have set up your id as a dynamic one.

I already went into my router's control panel and manually made it reset the IP. Reset comp, tried to post, and still get that error. >.<

[Ryex]

then the ip it gave you is still in the effected range.

but really this is a fairly small community to have this many people effected by this is stupid. IPerhaps a formal complaint to the host is in order? when you pay for service you should get service.

I just tried it three more times, and I still can not make a new post.

I agree, this is very stupid that such a huge range of IP's are blocked, and I'm not sure if my router will go out of whatever range it's sticking to when it resets. I can see it's changing every reset, but it is staying in a close range each time. This stinks, I need help with something but less I high-jack another thread I can't post at all >.<

I've sent a support ticket. Let's see what happens.

EDIT: After a few mails back and forth...

We have checked on the issue and found that the IP that are mentioned in your last reply are blocked on many spam blocking portals and that is why the clients wtih the mentioned IPs are not able to browse the website.

In order to fix this issue , clients will need to delist their IPs from spam blocking portals so that they can browse the websites without any issues.

This is referring to the IPs that you guys have been using. So you will probably have to contact your ISPs about that issue and tell them to check their IPs, get rid of spammers and get their IPs and IP ranges unlisted from those portals.

EDIT: BTW, our host doesn't have a spam protection mechanism. So it's neither your nor mine nor our host's fault but your ISPs' fault. Lol!

[Ryex]

well that makes more sense, I thought that it was strange for a host to have listed so many ip's themselves

[Taiine]

This is damn ridicules. I have reset the router so many times, restarted my system, even called up and have a new range set for my router and asked about this and they haven't done anything new with spam blocking protocols that would cause this kind of issue.

But I'm still unable to post! No other forums or sites are effected, ONLY HERE! ;.;

->If you've read the previous posts, the IP isn't really the problem... :|

it's your Ip range. just changing your IP dosn't help much because your new ip will still be part of a group. you need to call your ISP and get them to remove your IP's from the spam blocking services. it likely won't work immediately after they say it's fixed. it might take a week

[Taiine]

I DID call them. I said that. They told me they hadn't done any recent changes and that my IP's were not included in any of their spam blocking services. This is the only forum I get this error on, none of the other forum or sites I go to and am active on pop up with this. This is the only forum!

This is very frustrating. >.<

that my IP's were not included in any of their spam blocking services.

It's not just your IPs, it's all of the IPs that they give out. Maybe it's even their whole host data as such. You should consider changing your ISP if they are that reluctant to look into the problem. IMO a good service that doesn't offer proper support sucks more than a bad service with good support.

EDIT: Have you tried using a proxy?

perhaps we should make a topic so that the people who can't post new topics can make a first post to be split off into a now topic. It would be extra work for the mods but it would help I think.

[Blizzard]

Anybody can post in a spam topic. I don't think we need to make a big deal out of this.

[Taiine]

But they did give me support, I don't see where you're thinking they didn't look into the problem. I was on the phone with them for nearly an hour (had a nice lady that was very patent) to try and debunk this. They had no recent changes to their systems in the last two months that should have magically started causing this, their range of IP's are not listed in any spam blocking portals that they could see. If the IP's were blocked, shouldn't it effect more then just this forum alone? I don't have this issue anywhere else on any site, forum or such, and I don't think having this come up on just one single forum warrants calling my isp bad and deemed need of a change (something we wouldn't be able to afford anyway).

Then I don't know, sorry. Try a web proxy then, at least for posting new topics.
