There’s been an improvement in accessing the site for a while now, but now I’ve got another problem. I use NordVPN for all of my connected devices, and I’m using a Dallas IP address nearly all the time. A while back, I experimented several times by choosing Los Angeles and NYC IP addresses. With those IPs, the board gives me a message that I’ve been permanently banned from the board. If I then reset my IP to a Dallas IP address, it would let me log in.

Now there's a different issue. If I log in using a Dallas IP address today, I get the same message about being permanently banned as if I were on an LA or NYC IP address. So to get logged in, I have to actually disable my VPN entirely, or I can’t access the site. For obvious reasons, I’d rather not have to do that.

I know it’s not a basic issue with the board software, because I can log in to my forum.texas3006.com account with my VPN active, without any problems. So it seems like it HAS to be an issue with the board settings on this website.

Does anybody have any ideas?
No ideas. I've started having issues again with being logged out every time I visit the site. Last night I was logged in and trying to respond to a post, every time I click "submit" it took me back to the login page. Finally gave up.
