I really hope it get's sorted for you Howard

:
as it is a fabulous thread..& I'm sure there must be more but as already mentioned it's different & more 'difficult' to 'navigate' & find what you're looking for etc... than the OB...

PS: But I'm a computer 'dumb' person....

Nenella...you cant be dumb...you are an orchid grower...you are above average in intelligence and skills...ordinary humans cant grow orchids. besides; if you can manage to stay in this forum and post pictures...you are brilliant!

Thanks Nenella but knowing what I know, things won't change and it's fine. I've come to accept it as it is and as Bud said you aren't stupid.... not only do you post neat stuff on this board, you have a wonderful command of the English language.... can't say as much for my French... found that out this past May when my daughter and I visited Paris... can't wait to return!

BikerDoc, couldn't you register with a new email address? after all I have 2. One more personal and another I used for forums. Anyway you could write to see if they can waive the ban. Banning for some misunderstanding is a little extreme and brutal!

An alternate email would be pointless, as I cannot bring up the website or any part of it on any computer or mobile device that I had used to go on the website prior to my banishment.

Total and complete ousting! I did sign up under a fictitious email and it worked for awhile then failed. I've had my son in another city log in and he can but if I am at his home on his IP and my computer, nothing.... and I have searched the webpage and tried to enter from that point and still no success! While I'm not major computer literate, this makes no sense. I can go to a public WI-FI and still can't even pull up the website. As I have said, it is what it is and I am not going to lose sleep over this situation. Nonetheless, there are other ways that adults can and should try to discuss and resolve differences of opinion without resorting to juvenile tactics. It's kind of like what people used to say, "It takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile." It seems to me it takes an awful lot of time and energy to do this kind of police work and for what ... to be able to say, "This is my website and if you don' want to play by my rules than I'm taking my site home!"

Anyway, I think we've all had enough of this discussion and it is time for all of us to move on to more pleasant discussions about what counts.... so let's bury this thread and may it R.I.P. The horse is dead!

If you can't connect from his IP using your computer, then there must be a browser cookie from the site involved. Try deleting any cookies related to that site. You could delete all cookies from your browser, but that would wipe out cookies for other sites as well, usually just meaning you'd have to log back in to them.

Thanks.... I'll try that

Well, I guess I have really caused this thread to venture far afield... sorry. Because this forum is more unrestricted, within reason, that so many of us enjoy being here. Many of the liberties we enjoy here are important to making any forum strong and worth visiting and OB has them, IMHO! We post our pictures, our comments and knowledge without fear of being censored, edited or reviewed prior to posting. We have just as many knowledgeable well-intentioned participants as any other board out there. We have members who post some amazing high quality pictures who jump at the opportunity to help others less skilled. I have had some of the most educational interactions with others on this board; most recently the tremendous assistance with my recent bout with Erwinia. The wealth of knowledge and the ability to get educated without the fear of intimidation is a joy to behold on OB!

AMEN. Without any doubt.
