I attempted to submit a review of Arena - The Visitor and received a message that a rating was already submitted by my IP address or email.

I only joined the site yesterday. If it's my IP, can that be reset? It must have been from a previous site member.

Thanks!

Did you give the album a rating before writing/submitting your review?

I filled in the little checkcircle, but I didn't press the 'submit' button until the box was full of text.

Here's the exact error message. It comes up on a black screen after I try to submit:

A ratings/reviews from this IP/Email already exist in our database. You can update your previous reviews or rating instead.

Someone must have posted a review/rating from your computer before. Do you have another PA member in your house?

Nope. The kids are too young and the missus doesn't even like that much prog.

I'm thinking it's the IP. I've only had it for three years or so. I'm thinking some member had the same one in the past and dropped their account with my ISP and they recycled the IP with me.

We'll need an admin to deal with this issue.  I'll alert them to the problem.

You are the only person to have used that IP address on this site

Thanks for looking into this. I just tried to give Relayer five stars and got the same message.

Hmmm.... one last test then I'll have to pass it upstairs to M@X
 
Could you rate this album please: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=14503 - doesn't matter what you give it - if successful I'll delete the rating anyway.
What?

I attempted to give it a three star rating, but received the same error message:

^ That album had zero ratings so the error message is lying. Definitely a job for M@X nothing more I can do but pass the fault on to him, sorry.
 
 
...oh - could you try rating Arena from the IP you were using on the 17th (I assume you won't be able to do that until Monday Wink) ... if that fails then it must be something about the email address.

I think my IP is shuffled around by my router's firewall, so I don't believe I get to choose the exact address. It's never really come up before.Embarrassed

I could ask Verizon if it's possible...

Not that it really matters but I submitted the 821st review for ITCOTCK because I listened to it for the first time in eons last night and it appears as being posted on Saturday Dec. 19 rather than today Sunday Dec. 20. I don't know how the crazy PA computer correlates time zones but I posted it at about 3:00 PM DST in Montréal.
