    While I do have several IP numbers, including at least three in Asia where I am now based, and a handful in the US and Western Europe, they are all legitimate because I have two ISPs (main and backup) and I often use a VPN. It seems as if at least one of my means of access is blocked :(.

    Please don’t block me – I assure you there is only one Bear, and it is not the son of Yaakov who went from jailbird to prime minister! No one but me has access to this account – the civil holidays are my busiest time and I may not have a chance to post more than a couple of times a week until Purim comes closer, but it is always me.

    What message are you getting from the one that isn’t working telling you that you cannot access?

    Shmoel, how many different messages do you have experience with?

    “You’ve been blocked. If you think a mistake has been made, contact this site’s administrator.

    Back to YWN Coffee Room.”

    I have no problem with Firefox on any IP/VPN combo. This keeps happening with Chrome.

    I would not doubt that one of my ISP numbers has been used for dubious purposes in the past (not connected to me or to this site) and could therefore be blacklisted by Akismet or a similar anti-spam program – that is the way it is with a VPN.

    You need to delete the YWN cookie from Chrome. If you log on with a blocked account you get to a block page and when you’re blocked you can’t access the logoff script that cleans out the cookie.

    I don’t think YWN does any IP filtering.
