    Help about IP address

    Anyone computer savvy a lil bit and can help??
    Ok i stumbled upon a forum i found interesting threads on yesterday.

    Sorry I know this question is not about MDS but I hope it will be allowed.

    I began to read a thread about a missing person Amy Bradley (who vanished off a cruise ship) as a non member but it only would let me read so much before it said if i wanted to continue i had to join.

    I joined and continued to read. I did not even post so i know i have not offended anyone or defo not been trolling.

    In hardly any time i got blocked saying i was banned due to a questionable IP address. I joined twice more using different email addresses and the same thing happened.

    I messaged the admin and they replied saying 'it's no use re-joining because the same thing will keep on happening until you get an IP address. You don't have one we can see'

    They suggested maybe I had a shield on it but I have never heard of this. I googled and saw a shield has to be downloaded.

    I have never had trouble joining another site ever. I have not had problems here. It is also a vBulletin powered site.

    I am so not computer savvy and I do not understand this.

    I can see my IP address in my settings.

    Any advice will be much appreciated.

    Thankyou in advance

    Sounds like that's just a crappy site. r/unresolvedmysteries has had a bunch of threads about Amy Bradley that you can read up on!

    Yeah these are great! And it doesn't even matter if you've been banned. I was from a girls blog in Twitter & I just used a proxies and got on it just fine. :) Just google proxies and you'll get a bunch of options to choose from.
