your banishment ?

Just got this message but was already logged in

The maximum number of 20 login attempts has been exceeded. You are not allowed to login for the next 10 minutes. Each new try will put back the duration of your banishment.

Got it again when I hit "check new messages" since last visit

Just checked and un-banned you both. As to the whys of why I haven't a clue. Anyone else (excepting the usual suspects)?

got message too!

Your status was not banned Spencer and remains that way.

Maybe a robot is trying to hack?

"Banishment" is not such a bad word. Dawg has been "banished" more than once from a couple of other forums without my disguising my identity. Dawg says, if you haven´t been banned you have not been sufficiently entertaining.

Ole Auburn boy gets a post-graduate scholarship to Harvard and, on his first day on the campus he is looking for the admissions office.

You have used that story at least 50 times. Time to come up with some new material.

That was my thought.
I have not been banned but I have gotten logged out a few times.

Yankee Salesman from Illinois while on the road goes into a bar out on some back road in North Alabama called the Alligator Bar and he´s the only customer so, as he whiles away the time over a drink, he starts yakking with the bartender and inquires of him, "By the way, why do you call this the Alligator Bar; I´ve always associated alligators with the South Alabama swamps, not North Alabama. " The bartender says, "Well, this may help explain it.", slaps his hands twice and this huge alligator jumps up from behind the bar and this Yankee jumps back and shouts, "Holy shit!" and the bartender says, "You ain´t seen nothing yet.!´" The bartender then claps his hands twice again and the alligator opens his mouth wide and the bartender pulls out his penis and sticks it in the aliigators´s mouth where he leaves it for about 20 minutes before removing it before slapping his hands twice again upon which signal the alligator´s jaws slam together again with a mighty whap. The Yankee salesman goes, "Jesus Jones, that was amazing!" The bartender responded, "Awe it was nothing; you want to try it?" The yankee salesman responded; "I´d love to but I don´t know if I can hold my mouth open that long."

Should we not use ¨view new messages¨ Problem is it doesn´t work and only give that message

Worked that time ..........

Please post or PM any problems you are having so Humble Administrator can correct them. Thanks!

I guess, I've been lucky. The only problem I occasionally have is when I would go to say "Tech Talk" (or anywhere else) , there was nothing in Red nor a yellow dot showing that there were new posts, even though there were new posts. (and yes I was logged in)

It was no big deal. I just looked at the date and time of the last post and worked back to the first unread post and started reading from there.

I had similar problems to those described by Pete. They ceased when I did a cookie dump.

It's not happening right now. If it happens again, I will mention it.

a.) before closing down delete history.
b.) clean off all cookies.
c.) empty cache.

Should work, I always do it.

BTW the little red whatchamacallits often don't show up for me.

This problem happened to me one day and one day only I haven't deleted my history, cleaned cookies or anything and it hasn't happened since.

It was no big deal, but I am glad that the problem went away.
