Hello, Euthanasiast and I are both having a bit of a problem accessing the SDMB from our phones using Opera Mini. A box pops up saying that the IP is banned with a link to click “here” to contact an administrator, but the link is not clickable. The problem only began a few minutes ago, before that we were both able to post and read using the browser. Please help. 🙂

So . . . wait, how did you post this if your IP had been banned? :dubious:

I’m assuming you went to a different computer. I’m just feigning my obtuse-osity.

Actually, I’m just using the blackberry browser on the same phone. (And it REALLY sucks)

Try e-mailing a Mod or Admin. Someone else had the same problem recently. I don’t know how it was resolved.
