Help - IP address blocked??

[JB172]

^ I agree, if my ISP has blocked this site that\'s just weird.Daraebe I tried the auto detect - didn\'t work * sigh*

I have tried everything too and still nothing, there are other sites that I am on more than this one but don\'t have any issue with those sites, just strange.

It would not surprise me at all if a ISP provider did it. I have known quiet a few instances where it does happen for no reason and the ISP provider makes a excuse that they don't see the problem but once they reset their restrictions, it starts working again.

looks like we have a resident tech expert

LOL sorry. I will put my nerd cap away and go back to posting

me too

Update:
I contacted my ISP.They know nothing - literally.
They did say they never block sites so that's not the problem. I asked if they could give me a new IP address - no go,of course.Seems my IP changes every 15 -30 days whether I like it or not and they can't intervene.The guy really was no help at all.

thanks everyone for all the help, if you come up with any more suggestion let me know.

that's 3 of us that we know of.I wonder how many more there are.
so either all the sudden all our ISPs blocked cf or our routers encountered problems at the same time or something else is up,but what?

Wow Donna this is getting curiouser and curiouser. That's too bad that your ISP was of no help. I've had service with both AT&T and Comcast and their technical support has been very good and very helpful. This is a head scratcher for sure.

I can not use the like button either.

This is particularly odd, in that neither the board nor the ISP seem to be doing anything to block people - and in that it happens with more than one browser, regardless of their visible security settings.

The only other areas where I feel it might be happening is in the operating system, or in some third party anti-virus or firewall software that you might be using. If the latter, it might be connected with some malware scare which I vaguely remember was connected with this site some time back. It was a false listing, but it might have arisen again, and the software might be checking against some blacklist it uses.

It may help if we find out whether all the people affected have similar security arrangements

It's a miracle...I'm back on!!!! Hallelujah!!

Oh this is indeed GREAT news!!! So happy for you, Donna! Hopefully the others that are experiencing issues are back as well. Sure wish we could've figured out what the cause was so we could either prevent it in the future or come up with a solution if anyone should have a similar issue in the future.

Me too, woo hoo.

That is just really strange.

^^ agree , would've been nice to know why the IP was blocked and why it's suddenly not.
a mystery for sure
