Since yesterday I have the same problem when I try to edit other members' posts in https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82726&PN=524" rel="nofollow - our team's thread (I have this permission for many years). ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why...

I didn't get blocked posting in the "Blocked" thread.

Neither did I.  I can't post any more polls until the problem is fixed, although some may see that as a good thing.  |

That only happens after I’ve created a long, well thought out, response to an interesting post. I’m not kidding, though. For long posts, I copy and paste from notes. |

I can't even edit my blogs today without getting a "Blocked" message.

^ M@X was logged in to the forum last night not long before Eugene tried in vain to edit the posts that he'd dealt with in the E&O thread, so it would seem that he might have done some more tweaks to the site.  If the problem persists, it might be worth reporting it in the https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134412" rel="nofollow - New Format thread, since M@X does at least usually look at that one when he visits.

Okay, thanks for letting me know. I'm using a Brave browser on an Acer Aspire laptop.

Yes, I'm still able to access the main page, but when I tried to post something on a couple of my blogs this morning, I was blocked both times.

I just tried updating my Easy Listening blog, but still got blocked twice in a row. Strangely though, I haven't had any problems with posting here on this thread.

| ^ On my side, everything is back to normal (with Google Chrome). Maybe Paul should close his browser and restart ? Or try Incognito mode ? |

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll shut my laptop down and restart it and hope for the best.

My Easy Listening Lounge blog below, although I have finally managed to update it now after being blocked three times in a row, so hopefully, Max has fixed the problem now.  http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=122325&PID=6170043" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=122325&PID=6170043

I was getting it when I tried to copy and paste code from Mike's AwesomeProg site. It seemed erratic in terms of sometime blocking me but not always. Particularly when I tried to share my 1975 list on Dougs poll. |

Just when I thought it was safe to post a long message without first copying & pasting, I just got blocked three times in a row when I tried to update my Laurel Canyon blog.

I just experienced this bizarre and particularly odious problem trying to send a PM (luckily I back up everything these days as the site is on the verge of breaking)
EDIT: FWIW, when I deleted all the previous messages and sent a reply with just mine, everything went through without a hitch.

I'm still getting blocked today every time I try and edit my Legends of Laurel Canyon blog, having tried to update it unsuccessfully at least ten times in a row now.

I'm again having trouble posting from home (where I use Mozilla/Firefox) and the post text window does not show. I can vote, but not post. From work (I am imposed Edge) it's business as usual. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I'm not using a VPN if that's what you're implying From work, logging in PA with Firefox and posting seems to be no issue (doing that right now) ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Not yet, but I'm hoping, then I can get back to doing some more polling.
