Statement: Many of the forum visitors are not logging in despite having registered for access.
Outcome: Some of you may find that your IP has been banned if it isn't evident that you are a registered user or from VK or ZL.
It is not that it will be intentional BUT there is a continuing mapping of IP addresses going on to reduce the possibilities of spam, hacking and unnecessary web traffic. See the topic IP Address Bans for more info.
The problem is that your IP may be included in a group that I am trying to remove from accessing the forum. I am typically removing access to whole blocks of IP addresses (eg. 57.12.*.*) and sometimes those large blocks could include VK and ZL users.
The simple solution is to "log in" each time you access the Forum by marking the box 'Remember Me' at the login screen.
The more obvious your login is by virtue of your callsign appearing in the user list then the lower the likelihood that your access by IP will be removed.
