Nemesis Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 As you know we have had to implement a filtering service for the site. Since it is an automated service you may not be able to reach the site but instead get a page asking for you to validate that you are a real user trying to access the site not a spambot or botnet zombie. If you get this page and having problems you can always type in a message on the form that I will see to add your network to the trusted network list. Please put in your site username so I can make sure to get all ip's you are visiting from. We are sorry for this inconvenience but just like the tsa it has become a necessary evil.Nemesis

Doctor Steuss Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 My psychiatrist has advised that I currently avoid validation...

mfbukowski Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) I have noticed I cannot edit my posts, and when I reply to one, any of the graphic menu functions- like the quote bubble, smileys, font changes etc. in the little blue box above where you type your reply, do not work- I see the blue box and the functions, but they are "greyed" out.Typing quote boxes works, typed smilies work, but anything in the blue area above the typed area does not work. Fun fun.OOps - editing seems to work sometimes and not others, varying perhaps by thread. Edited October 3, 2011 by mfbukowski

Of course, if they can't get on the site, they can't read the instructions. But I'm certain that the administrators here have made provisions for that.
