SDN being blocked.

[StartingoverVet]

In the past week I have started getting this message randomly when I try to post messages:

Sorry, you have been blocked
You are unable to access studentdoctor.net

It pops up as a large window that I can close.

Any thoughts on what is happening here?
It only happens on SDN.

Any thoughts @Lee ?

Weird. Is that happening at home or could it be some sort of filter at work or something? I haven't had any unusual issues lately.

 

[brightimpressio]

It's because you voted to lynch me

 

[allieh8607]

I got that too last week!

I attributed it to my ****** internet on the island but I guess not, if you got it too

 

[Mad Jack]

Sounds like an issue for @Lee or @Winged Scapula

They could at least tell you whether it's on SDN's end or your end, as they're probably familiar with the IP ban messages the site uses.

 

[StartingoverVet]

@ddstothecor (from the lounge) also reported that problem ....

So it is not my personal issue!

 

[StartingoverVet]

It's because you voted to lynch me

but I was going to change and dyachei slammed that door shut.
So really, Dyachei lynched you, not me.

 

[StartingoverVet]

At home. I don't internet at work. no wifi in the sky.

 

[Winged Scapula]

Please send a message to the Help Desk for some assistance. I'm heading out to French Polynesia and not much time to investigate such things.

 

[dyachei]

Have you tried deleting cookies?

 

[DVMDream]

Have you tried deleting cookies?

Who would delete delicious cookies???!!! Cookie murderer!

 

[StartingoverVet]

Have you tried deleting cookies?

and have to remember all my usernames on the websites i visit? Not worth that trouble.

wow really hard to feel any sympathy for you. Too busy b/c going to French Polynesia. Tough life.
Will do ... next time it happens.

 

[dyachei]

That's usually the first step that the helpdesk has you try. Just trying to save you some trouble.

 

[SDN]

PM me your IP address. You may either be accessing from a high risk IP block or your computer might be infected.

 

[LetItSnow]

Wait. Isn't it a good thing that SDN is blocking SOV?

 

[twelvetigers]

PM me your IP address. You may either be accessing from a high risk IP block or your computer might be infected.

And you can PM me to ask how to see your IP address.

Unless you've come a long way in the last few years!

 

[Skimble]

I suspect BI is blocking you in retaliation for the lynching.

 

[StartingoverVet]

And you can PM me to ask how to see your IP address.

Unless you've come a long way in the last few years!

I feel put down....

I figured it out all by myself thank you very much.

Now geroff my lawn.

Maybe someday I'll be a real doctor so I can afford a trip to Bora Bora.

 

[pinkpuppy9]

I also had this problem a few days ago. I was only blocked on one thread, and not reliably so. Sometimes I cold post, sometimes I couldn't. And it hasn't been an issue since.

 

[that redhead]

Wait, are you applying to medical school?!

 

[Caia]

Wait, are you applying to medical school?!

I was about to say this.

 

[twelvetigers]

Wait, are you applying to medical school?!

Heeeeeeeeeelllllllllll no.

I guess I'll never be a real doctor!

 

[WillowLeaf]

And I started getting the error message tonight. SDN is grumpy this week.

 

[SDN]

Should be resolved now.

 

[Cutekitten02]

I'm having the same issue! Help?! @Lee

 

[StartingoverVet]

I have not had the problem since Mr Lee said he thought he corrected it.
Sorry to see it has morphed someplace else.

 

[SDN]

I'm having the same issue! Help?! @Lee

When the block occurs, copy the RayID that shows on the block message and PM it to me.

 

[WillowLeaf]

I keep getting a pop-up when I try to post or PM, asking me to write in a code that's shown in an image as some sort of anti-robot security thing. And then if I enter the letters, sometimes it lets me post, sometimes it shows a weird block of text. Is anyone else getting this? I'm hoping it's not just my computer, because that would make me worry it's haunted or sick with a virus or something.

I promise I'm a live human being, not a robot.

I thought I had a virus too when it started happening, but apparently we're not the only ones! I promise I'm not a robot either @Lee!

 

[StartingoverVet]

oddly I have not been having a problem this week. Maybe Lee gave you my problems.

 

[SummerTheLynx]

But you are a doll... Thus the reasoning behind this

 

[WildZoo]

Sounds like discrimination to me

 

[SDN]

Made another change to the firewall settings. Let me know if it's still occurring.

 

[WillowLeaf]

@Lee It's happening again. The message pops up asking me to enter the numbers that are in the picture before I can post. I'm still not a robot, nothing's changed.

 

[DVMDream]

You guys do realize there is a technical support team that you can message for this stuff, right?

 

[WillowLeaf]

Nope. But normally I don't tag Lee for technical issues, I just saw his post saying to let him know if it keeps happening.

ETA: I looked through the contact and help sections and I now know where the technical support team is.

 

[DVMDream]

Nope. But normally I don't tag Lee for technical issues, I just saw his post saying to let him know if it keeps happening.

Just wanted to let people know there is a technical support and Lee isn't needed for everything. But now I see what you are saying.

Send me the ray id that displays at the bottom of the page

I just want to say on Thanksgiving that I am thankful SDN has Lee who keeps this ship afloat, and goes above and beyond the call of duty.

Maybe my New Year's resolution will be to not tag him the next time there is a bizarre problem.
(although pretty sure the first time I got him involved, tech support had no answers first).

 

[WillowLeaf]

I will second that. Thanks for keeping SDN going!

Also I kinda forgot it was Thanksgiving this morning when I tagged you, Lee. Sorry, that was rude to tag for a minor issue on a holiday. And of course, SDN has been blocking me off and on for several days, but once I posted that, SDN stopped blocking me. It's like when you take a pet to the vet for vomiting, and they immediately stop vomiting when you walk in the door and never vomit again. Hopefully SDN continues to realize I'm human and not a robot.
