Since yesterday I have the same problem when I try to edit other members' posts in https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=82726&PN=524" rel="nofollow - our team's thread (I have this permission for many years). ------------- Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why...

I didn't get blocked posting in the "Blocked" thread.

Neither did I.  I can't post any more polls until the problem is fixed, although some may see that as a good thing.  |

That only happens after I’ve created a long, well thought out, response to an interesting post. I’m not kidding, though. For long posts, I copy and paste from notes. |

I can't even edit my blogs today without getting a "Blocked" message.

Perhaps Matx actually blocked you. :P ------------- “On the day of my creation, I fell in love with education. And overcoming all frustration, a teacher I became.” — Ernest Vong |

^ M@X was logged in to the forum last night not long before Eugene tried in vain to edit the posts that he'd dealt with in the E&O thread, so it would seem that he might have done some more tweaks to the site.  If the problem persists, it might be worth reporting it in the https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134412" rel="nofollow - New Format thread, since M@X does at least usually look at that one when he visits.

Yes, I'm still able to access the main page, but when I tried to post something on a couple of my blogs this morning, I was blocked both times.

I just tried updating my Easy Listening blog, but still got blocked twice in a row. Strangely though, I haven't had any problems with posting here on this thread.

| ^ On my side, everything is back to normal (with Google Chrome). Maybe Paul should close his browser and restart ? Or try Incognito mode ? |

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll shut my laptop down and restart it and hope for the best.

My Easy Listening Lounge blog below, although I have finally managed to update it now after being blocked three times in a row, so hopefully, Max has fixed the problem now.  http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=122325&PID=6170043" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=122325&PID=6170043
