I’ve used that button in the past because of a password issue but never got a reply so I emailed Stu. This was just before Christmas.Did you send the staff a message using it?

When I try to access the Forum from my PC at Work I'm told that my IP address has been banned (since the beginning of Jan) - sorry, don't know how send a PM and already tried the 'Contact us' button.
On my phone at work, looking at my alerts just now, and the time of each had the hour/minutes followed by 'tomorrow'!
I'll get Escet to ring his pals at CERN and ask them to stop messing with the space/time continuum.We haven't had the ghosts of future present since the first few days of relaunch.
We'll look into it.
Thanks.

But not before you pass on tomorrow’s lottery results.We haven't had the ghosts of future present since the first few days of relaunch.

Were you viewing alerts here on the forum (via the Web), or were you reviewing alert notifications sent by email?
There are no recorded server-side log entries that would explain this.
My first guess is that your early login a couple of minutes prior to 0600 (your time) caused our server (in North America; up to 8 hours "behind" your time zone) to timestamp your latest alerts with respect to the different / future date.
I didn't log in before 6am. My laptop is always logged in.
You had a recorded logon at circa 0558 (your time) this morning from your static IP address. Maybe something triggered your laptop into coming out of sleep mode and it automatically re-established a connection to the forum.
Now I can't log in on my bedside Mac. I keep putting in the activation code but it's rejected.

There are no security measures that should be blocking any of the IP addresses escargot has used for the last 15 hours, during which time she's accessed the forum from 4 different IP addresses.
Nope, the password is stored so I don't need to put it in. I'm being asked for a 6-digit code which the site sends by email.You're confusing me ... When you say "activation code", do you mean your password?

It's 2-step security. I didn't ask for it.

Not something I would have a scooby’s on, will pass it on to the top minds in the field.*knocks politely on the door of Mod HQ*
Could you perhaps assist me with a problem that's been annoying me for a few days? I thought it would go away on its own but apparently not.
I always have the 'stay logged in' thing ticked so whenever I open up my browser I can just go to the site and I'm already in. I am also usually able to open several tabs of the site at once (i.e. different topics I want to read) with no issue.
But for the last few days, it seems that as soon as I have more than one tab open, the page shows this message at the bottom:
View attachment 24362
And then when I reload the page I find I am no longer logged in.
Do you know why this might be? As far as I am aware nothing has changed on my internet (have not changed provider or anything) nor have I changed computer or browser.

Is it possible that the Internet provider is using a VPN to route part of the connection?
You are arriving at the forum from a variety of different dynamically-assigned IP addresses. In other words, each time you come here you appear to be arriving from a different place. This is particularly probable if you're using a wireless connection on your end of the path. Such shifts in ascribed IP addressing can even occur within a single session.
Therefore, here's my first guess ...
Somewhere along the connection path between you and the forum site (not necessarily here on our end) the shifts in IP addressing make for differences in ascribing your online identity, and whatever system is involved is asking you to reload so as to re-establish a coherent connection where the IP addressing matches the last known user attribution / location.
