Title: logging in from another computer
Post by: MushroomJunkie on August 12, 2008, 10:33:30 AM: I have a question. I went on a vacation recently but before I left I logged out of the FF. When I tried to log in on another computer where I was as soon as I clicked "enter fungi forums" it said "Sorry guest, you are banned from this forum!"!! I didn't understand it because that computer had never even visited the fungi forums before and it was already banned! Then I tried another computer that had never visited tmk before and it said the exact same thing!! The only computer I can use to get here is the one I registered on! I would like a little help if I could get it please.

Post by: WarpRattler on August 12, 2008, 12:05:20 PM: Like I said, I can't explain it well, but people with dynamic (changing) IPs have been banned repeatedly in the past, and now people that are currently using those are suffering for it. I believe another member was unable to access the forums for a long time due to his IP changing to a banned one.

lolol

btw I thought it was funny because a) he was banned and was asking why he couldn't log on b) the problem is obviously solved, because he just posted and c)I'm pretty sure it's the username that gets banned, and not the IP.

EDIT: oh wait

Post by: MushroomJunkie on August 13, 2008, 06:27:27 AM: Ok I see. So Deezer only intended us to log onto one computer when we want to get on here so thats why he put the thread topic to let everyone know if your going on vacation cause if you use a desktop (like me) then you'll have to wait until you get back to start using your account again! It makes perfect sense!

With many ISPs, everytime you connect to the internet, you get a different ip address. Apparently, somebody got banned, and the computers you were using happened to get the ip address that was banned.
