Heya.

Stupid question: For how long has there been an Amazon.co.uk widget thingy in the right margin of the main forum page under Watched Content?
Just trying to get a timeline for how oblivious I am, and WTF is it? My page won't load whatever it is - just has the spinny-thing inside it.

Tried to take a screen shot but Win 10 screen shot instructions are stupid.
Remember when we could just use "Print Screen" + "CTRL-V" into a word doc and voila! Or even Alt-Fn-Print Screen? Not that my keyboard has a Fn key these days ...

I think you're the only one using the function so probably nobody knows.

Is it like the AMAZON referral links on the front page?

It's not a function I use, it's just there in the right margin. Does it have anything to do with the Malazan Empire skin?

Doesn't really bother me, I was just curious.

It has always been there. Since time imemorial, the widget has stood sentinel over all that has come and gone and come again. It will be there yet, when all are but dust in the wind. Dude.

It opens a portal to the Crazy Deviant-Sex Dimension, but only for the truly worthy. Keep trying.

Yo,

I first noticed this a few months ago but only now getting around to report this. When I try to open the forum when connected to my home Wi-Fi, I get this error:

[#2000] You are not allowed to visit this forum

Same thing on different browsers, devices, and on incognito, as long as I'm connected to home WiFi.
It looks like an IP ban but it shows up even even I'm signed out. Plus I haven't been very active on the forum in a while so I don't know what I would have been banned for.

Moreover, I can connect and sign in on a different network with no issues, so I don't think I'm banned?

If anyone could look into this I'd be grateful. And if I'm banned please dm me the reason. Thanks!

Are you trying to connect to just forum.malazanempire.com, or is your bookmark/URL to a more specific sub-forum? This sounds like the error you get when you try to follow a link to a non-public subforum and aren't logged in.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

Straight up forum link to the main page. Same if I just click the forum link on the website. Guess Abyss might be onto something with the sacrifices

One of these days someone will take me seriously when I explain, again, that the virginity of the sacrificial waterfowl matters, dammit.

We are accepting waterfowl now!!!!! I thought we were drawing the line at goats. What's next nutria!

Let's just go crazy and accept gophers and nonendangered turtles!




Miss one little meeting and the sacrificial animals completely change.





What happens if you try to google malazan empire.com and go to the link that way?
How many fucking people do I have to hammer in order to get that across.

What is your IP address? Will have a look and see if it's got caught up with a blanket IP ban for a spam bot

Sorry, took me a while to log back in!

192.168.178.*

The fourth number is different for each device in the network. They're in the 20-36 range. Thanks!

That's not caught up in an IP ban, but that looks like your internal network ip, not your public IP.

Type what is my ip address into google and you should get your external IP

94.102. has been part of an unusually broad IP ban since way back in 2008!

Removed now, hopefully this lets you back in!
