I can't access the site like I can normally, I have to go through a proxy (ZZXQ.info) and then it's slow and double posting occurs(sorry for that XD).
I've tried on my iPod Touch, the Family Laptop and my Computer, and they all just lead to a blank white page. On my computer, I've used Chrome, Firefox and IE and they still all load up.

Has my IP been blocked, making me not been able to get to the site properly?

no you haven't been blocked.

this has happened to a couple members in the past. it's easily resolvable, but Spud has to mess around with stuff, so i'll forward your problem to him, and hopefully he can get you set straight soon.

in the meantime, unfortunately the only workaround people have used in the past is to continue using proxies.

-edit- also for future reference, you won't ever get banned without notification. we give three warnings before banning anyone, so we won't ever slap a ban on out of of the blue.

reported it, but p.s. you should also include any techincal specs, like the type and version of the OS and browser you're running.

and whether you've tried stuff like refreshing, clearing cache, etc, etc.

Family Laptop= Windows Vista, Mozilla Firefox (latest version)
iPod touch= firmware 2.2, mobile safari

that's what i'm here for!

i have no idea when he's going to get back to you or me, but hopefully soon.

(guess i'm going to have to follow you around deleting all those double posts. :P is that a symptom of the proxy you're using?)

yep. :D

Spud never got directly back to me, but obviously has fixed the issue and read the PM that reported it.

i still have no idea why that happens or how to fix it... it even happened to me once!
