For some reason my IP address is blocked on the website. The only thing I can think of as to why is I entered the wrong password multiple times. i reset my password but now can't log in on my PC. i am posting from y phone. how can I fix this?

Can you post the problem IP address? Since this post works, you must have another one that doesn't. If you let me know what that is I can check the ban list.

Some of that stuff (most of it) is automated. Multiple failed logins automatically generate an IP ban.

That IP had a ban on it:

Date: 28 February 2014 23:09:11
Reason: Too many forum login failures

I've deleted the ban, and x'd out the address on your message for privacy.

Try again.
