Can't access

I can access TRF from tapatalk on my iPhone but can't access it from a desktop computer. I keep getting messages saying the site is down. What is going on? This has been like this for two days now!

Nothing is going on !

Is the message that you are getting "The site is down"?

Please elaborate.

The site is certainly not down, since thousands of members have access, including you on your Apple device.

This is so weird. No matter what compute I use, at home, at work, I can't get on the site. The server just doesn't respond. But on my phone i can get in no problem. What the heck is going on?

I've found the problem.

You are sharing an IP address with a banned member. This may be due to your ISP provider sharing ips locally.

Speak to them and tell them that you want an individual IP.

We will not remove the banning of the aforementioned member.

I spoke with my Internet provider and they said they can't change it.

There must be something else that can be done? This is ridiculous! I did nothing to be banned. :(

Is this happening to me too? I cannot log in on home wifi (phone or 3 different laptops) or at a restaurant wifi (phone). Work wifi is fine. Cellular is fine - but slow.

No access to TRF, server not responding

For the past 3 days, I have been unable to access the site from my personal laptop from home. I have no idea what is happening but for some reason it seems like I am blocked, I just can't access it.

Anybody in charge of this ?

Thanks

It seems this happens from time to time. There is nothing wrong with your computer. For some unknown reason the site blocks people. I've been in contact with Steve(LOL-X) the administrator & he says the site is fine. I've been ok logging on since 11/21 but who knows for how long.

That's funny. This is happening to me as well. I can get on anywhere but my home wifi. As far as I know I'm not banned.

Ok. I thought I was the only one as I can't access TRF from home via my wifi but on my phone or at work, I'm fine!

Am I banned?
