pwillener Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Not sure where to post this, so I'll drop it here in the Software forum. Yesterday, when trying to go to this (Piriform) forum, I got this error: An Error Occurred[#2000] You are not allowed to visit this forum. That looks like I have been banned (as a spammer, perhaps?), or of course it could be a forum software malfunction. Today I tried again; same error. It showed me still as logged in; trying to logout gave the same error. Deleted all Piriform cookies and recycled browser (Firefox 3.6.4 on Windows 2000); still same problem (although I am no longer logged in after deleting the cookies). Just to make sure I tried on another computer (IE8 on Win XP), and here I could successfully go to and login to the forum. Any suggestions how to resolve it on my Win2K system?

pwillener Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 The error continues, even if I use a different browser on the same system. Guess I cannot spend much time in this forum as long as this is not addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted June 25, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 25, 2010 wait which part of the forum is it refusing you to go to? I'm confused becasue you're posting here. is it only one or two sections? if so which ones. sounds like some switch got flipped wrong when piriform did the upgrading ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

kroozer Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I received an error when logging out earlier. I logged back in then out again with no error. I'm puzzled that you had no trouble with another computer (IE8 on Win XP). An idea - have you tweaked anything lately on the Windows 2000 pc?

pwillener Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 Thank you everybody for your attention Now today everything works well again - I can come to forum, sign-in, post - no more errors. If it happens again in the future, I will PM you (MrG) my IP address. (It will probably be the same that you see me posting from now.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwillener Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Sorry, I just sent you a PM regarding this, before I saw your reply here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishi Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 You are not alone mate, I got the same error maybe two months ago and it still happens to me right now. Getting to this forum is random for me now. There are times I cannot access and there are times that I can. I tried switching browsers and even using Linux to log on here and still the same problem. I love computer maintenance tasks. Some of my favorite programs: Wordpad -basic word processing Notepad - temporary clipboard and basic scripting module Windows Media Player 12- video, music and online radio player Windows Media Center - live TV, local FM radio CCleaner- handy computer maintenance tool If something fails to work after using the registry cleaner, use SYSTEM RESTORE.

pwillener Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Thank you MrG - the problem is now fixed on my IP address. @Ishi: take a note of your IP address (http://whatismyipaddress.com/) when you cannot access the forum, then send it as a PM to MrG.

pwillener Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thank you, but our IP address has changed again, and I have no problem with this new address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyoneder Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 It is because you are banned, plain and simple, unless you use a proxy of course to lurk around. I say this, because this just happened to me on a hockey forum I frequently posted on for 10 years, but just got banned on, thanks to this [#2000].

Winapp2.ini Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Skyoneder, do you have a dynamic IP? If you do, it could be possible you got caught in their spam filter. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhawk Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Sounds like an IP ban too which is kind of pointless if the troublemaker is on a dynamic IP address. Beware of using proxies though, server admins can spy on network traffic and steal your login details. Richard S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
