Well if it's just me, I can take a hint. đ

Jerry - I found this in the ProBoards support forum: States IP Banned when neverBanned. It mentions "This IP in particular looks associated with Amazon, many of these have been blocked." No explanation why though. An IP lookup on your IP address - 54.177.161.40 - shows the ISP is Amazon.com.

The only thing I have noticed is that the âPreviewâ button is not the same as on the old site. It seems to just be what you are typing but doesnât show how the layout/photos will look. Itâs not a biggie and definitely not a deal breaker.

No explanation why though. An IP lookup on your IP address - 54.177.161.40 - shows the ISP is Amazon.com. Interesting since there isn't a tie to Amazon unless Musk and Bezos have merged. I wonder if Amazon hosts servers or something for Starlink. I have noticed at times that websites think we are in Seattle. The curious thing is why,it only happens on the desktop. I did sign off the wifi and back on which seemed to cure the problem (fingers crossed). It was curious that before I did that, I clicked on a link on the error page and got this: Something went wrong (but itâs not your fault) You were visiting a Cloudflare customerâs website, and something went wrong. Donât worry, itâs not your fault. If the problem isnât resolved in the next few minutes, itâs most likely an issue with the web server you were trying to reach. Cloudflare protects websites by sitting in front of Internet requests, and we work with website owners and hosting providers to identify underlying problems in their server configuration. I'm technically illiterate when it comes to this stuff.

Remember Jerry, it's not your fault. The only thing I have noticed is that the âPreviewâ button is not the same as on the old site. It seems to just be what you are typing but doesnât show how the layout/photos will look. Itâs not a biggie and definitely not a deal breaker. There are a number of things that don't seem as "Nice" as the other place. It is like that with any move, new car or job. I am actually surprised at how many things are similar. Who knows, some of the things we are missing may be available but I have not clicked the right buttons yet? We had 13 years to learn the other forum, this one may take a while.

So far we are way past the level that I'd expected from a free platform. I can live with this easily and I'm especially happy about the picture display quality, which seems a lot better and which is very nice given the nature of our forum. Another nice feature is editing with picture previews, love that.
Perhaps a bit of tweaking here and there can add features. If not, no problem at all.

The only thing I miss from S143 is the pull-down menu where you can search for new/unread posts instead of going to the index page, scrolling down and clicking on Unread. It's workable but if an improvement is possible it would be great. Otherwise I'm very happy and really impressed. I will miss that feature, too!

I am getting Error 1008 when I try to access this site on my desktop, with this message: The owner of this website (modelscale143.freeforums.net) has banned your IP address (54.177.161.40). I use the same internet provider (Starlink) and router on my phone and tablet without problem. I use Windows 10 on my desktop. Frustrating because I use it to post other than comments. ideas? Are you using VPN on your desktop?

Gents, I need your help here?
I lost a bookmark for this site that always showed the 'new' posts? How do I achieve that type of sorting again? Tried the settings drop down etc to no avail. Thanks for any help! BB

Click on 'Home', top left. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find 'Recent posts' or 'Recent threads'. Thank you Tom! That's the magic formula...just staring at me as usual.
