A few days ago I was on the GSX forum from FS Dreamteam. I was just  browsing, not posting, when I clicked to another subforum and got the message "Sorry "myusername" you are banned from using this forum". I tried another browser, same message. I tried from my ipad and got the message: "Sorry Guest you are banned from using this forum" I am banned even on my ipad, which is different from my computer? Why was I banned at all? In all my years of flight simming I have never experienced this situation.

I googled this and a couple of posts on AVSIM  said delete the cookie for FSDreamteam website, which I did but still cannot access the forum. I emailed the FSDreamteam directly three days ago about this and no  response.

This is really frustrating to not be able to use the forum, and also time wasting to figure this out. And no response from the developer in three days. And the catch 22 is that if you cannot access the forum, there is no place to go for help on solving this,  so I thought to post here.

I wonder if there are others currently having this problem to suggest the entire forum is just down?

Works fine for me.

@greg100o, you also need to clear your cache. A reboot should then fix it.

Working perfectly here. Just accessed Forum.

Thanks Ray,

I had to delete the entire cache, all cookies, reboot and then I could access again. It appears that there is some file in the cookies that is not identified that causes this problem, and deleting just the cookie for FS Dreamteam was not enough. However regrettably I am  still unable to access the website from my iPAD, and I have no idea why or how to fix it.

 I wish Virtuali could address this whole scenario and come up with the reason it happens, and how to  prevent it in the future. I will post in their forum now about this.
