I have got a report of this popping up in certain threads when members try to post.

This one:

And then I have got a report of a member being kicked to an entirely separate page:

I've got the same message as @5150sick and even been redirected to another page blocking out VU completely.

There is one thread that refuses to let me do anything but everything thing else so far is working. I just woke up from my nap...lemme have a coffee and a vape and I'll see what other kind of delinquent trouble I can find :)

This could turn into some fun....bug hunting :D

I pm'd the link to this thread to CJ as well, so he will see it:)

Thank you ma'am...I am not going to loose sleep over loose threads (already lost enough trying to teach A.D.D. grownups how to wind coils last night and I'm hurting this morning from the lack of it :) ) It's just so random it's weird. Makes for an interesting bit of a distraction. I am sure it will all fixed and be business as usual around here in no time so something else can stir up the crazy :)

How do I flush my DNS cache? I'm running Win 7 Pro if that matters.

I figured out the DNS flush, tried it and it didn't help. Oh well, might try to post there again tomorrow :)

I think anyone that stumbles into or adds to the headache that is this thread should also give @CJ a big round of thank yous....the poor guy has been working with me all day to try and figure this out for me and keep it from happening again...I am actually very computer illiterate and the guy has been nothing but patient and helpful and deserves a heap of applause for going the extra mile and teaching me to do what he needs me to do and try and help me.....Thank you CJ

DSL Router.
Do you have access to the web panel / frontend for it? If so try changing your DNS from your ISP's provided to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and try the test again. If you DO NOT have access, or don't know how to access it provide me with your DSL Router's Model # and Brand name.

Done CJ. I'm still being blocked in that thread.

ETA: I logged off the computer and logged back in and I was able to make a post in that thread. I then tried to edit the post and got blocked again.

Here's the traceroute output:

It's getting worse, it's not blocking me from answering and sending PM's and locked me out of two other threads, one of them is the "trends" thread in the coil building section

What country are you coming out of, are you using a VPN?

I am in the US....I come out of Tacoma basically (south of seattle, I live in a small town north of Tacoma) I did everything CJ said and I basically figured out that if I type too many words or take too long to type something it locks on to my words and no matter what I do I can't post what I was going to...and if I try and send it in a PM it blocks me from sending that person a PM...I did everything CJ said and no luck....VU just doesn't like me anymore. I am sorry but it's weird how it does it at random...lets me post one long message but not another

no VPN....just straight wifi off my service gateway (Comcast's fancy word for phone and internet broadband modem )

I can send you by alternate means of communication the text I go blocked for...I saved this time in a word file since I needed help with spelling,,,,if that will help. You can see what the server considers a"threat"

CJ is looking into it as we speak. This may take some time

he's been trying to help me on and of all day and @CJ has been awesome! He finally did some miracle because I could all of a sudden post again where I couldn't post before. I wasn't trying to go around him or anything by talking to you...I just wanted to say hi to the big guy in charge and let you know about it as well. Hopefully no one else has as weird or random of bugs that I've had the last couple days. And say thanks again....

If you tried to access VU through TOR, you'd see this every 2 minutes. That screenshot basically sums up my VU experience.

Damn CloudFlare...

I decided to not use TOR with this laptop....I've got my old one that I do that kind of stuff with but this one I stay on the light side of the force with. The worst thing I've done with this laptop is TVunderground...I've got a a second internal hard drive in this thing just for TV because until this month my internet with a decent amount of bandwidth was fairly affordable....damn dirty comcast raised my bill another 30 bucks this month without warning...

and when I went online to see what the hell was going on they gutted all their internet plans except for the 25mbps one. they all require cable and or a phone plan on top of the price for internet to be "affordable." What's worse is if you dont want that then you have to pay an extra 30 dollars a month for a "speed increase now"....I can't wait for Century Link to upgrade their coverage in my area or Frontier to finally get off their lazy asses and drag some optic cable down the 99 to my appartments, its only 4 more miles,,,im sooooo cloosssee to good internet access yet I feel light years away :)

Just tried that and same block error came up. Posting is fine, it is just editing that 1st post in that thread... guess if it is not an ongoing issue I'm moving on.

Can you link me to the post? Occasionally, we've seen phrases get flagged that we couldn't figure out.

OK, unless you were adding to your post, or taking away from... I took the "n" from "likenthat" and "try close the air flow" to "try closing the air flow". I had to do that in 2 steps because I was getting the same "blocked". Doing one, saving it, then doing the other worked, We've seen this before and I really don't understand the phrasing that sets that off. Check your post now and see if it's where you wanted it. Some of this stuff is a mystery to all of us.

Looks fine, I wouldn't really care except it wouldn't allow me to edit so then :gaah:

That's strange that it would allow only editing one but not both :confused:

I agree, it's strange. Now it's got me wondering if you could've done it exactly the way I did, lol. I don't have a LOT of permissions, compared to, say, an Admin. I bet you could've. It just popped into my head since it wouldn't allow both changes, which also makes me thing it had something to do with the 2nd part I changed. Somewhere in that 2nd part is where I think the block came in, though I don't understand exactly why. Gotta love the webs.
