Re: Hi, nooby with some questions!
Thanks for your help guys. Snoopy, i tried the link at the bottom of the map database a few days ago and got nothing. I've tried again today and got through!!
I've now sent a email trying to register with my yahoo email. Fingers crossed.

That was because your IP number keeps changing and you just happened to get one used by spammers.thebugman wrote:Sorry for the bump.

I have fixed that now but be warned that it may happen again if your IP number keeps changing. Your Internet Provider did have a very bad reputation for spam previously.

Re: Hi, nooby with some questions!

Re: Hi, nooby with some questions!
Can anyone help please? I've tried again and now get a 503 error "Error 503 : Service Temporarily Unavailable"
Re: Hi, nooby with some questions!
As i Keep telling you in the above its your Internet provider and your IP number keeps changing. Only way to fix that is find a better ISP who does allow not spammers to use them.thebugman wrote:I've got the same problem again.

Re: Hi, nooby with some questions!
To be fair vzbob, my new IP is also blocked and that one is a residential IP from OCN. The chance spammers were using it is about zero.
Re: Hi, nooby with some questions!
So, other than changing my isp, there's nothing else i can do to gain access? There's no way i can change it just for the one site which blocks me. Never had a problem anywhere else with it.
Re: Hi, nooby with some questions!
When you try to access the site, what messages do you get? A possible reason for the one you previously mentioned, Error 503, can be found here: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerr ... 3error.htm
I'm correct 97% of the time..... who cares about the other 4%....
