FTE Site Problem?

Folks,

The strangest thing happened. I became a supporter a couple of days ago as c125bob. Last nite I logged in, started using the site, noticed I had no privledges to search, post etc. I logged off, logged back in etc. no joy. After a lot of looking and trying I reach a screen that says I have been banned, no reason given, restore date "never".

I opened a ticket for support but it hasn't been opened. So..... I set this account up and am looking for some help. I'm not one of those people that would be "banned" trust me ! I guess something happened when I was updated to a supporter. Moderators, administrators or whoever can help fix this please do so!

Bob

Congratulations on becoming a Supporter. It took a couple of days for mine to activate, so just be patient, it's worth the wait.

I tried again to log on using my original account, still banned if I try to post. I'm sure it'll get fixed the folks that run the site are good.

Computers can make you crazy !!! Meantime, I'm in the witness protection program.

That's pretty funny. Glad to see you've kept your sense of humor. Also glad to hear the truck is doing well Bob, or should we just call you Fred for security reasons?

I better go by Fred !! I hate I can't get credit for "Freds" posts, my numbers are low after years of lurking and not posting.

These things happen and I'm sure it'll get fixed. At least I can still navigate the site under my assumed identity. Heck, I kinda like being Fred !

Send a PM to Scott (Cookie88), he'll straighten this out. Unbelievable what moderators are capable of... this has to be some sorta mix-up.
I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Alright ! I'm back, not banned anymore. Pretty good turnaround by the FTE site gurus. There was a bug in the system.

Now I can get out of the Witness Protection Program ! Fred will have to go away if I can figure out how to make him vanish. Hmmmm maybe we can get him banned !

Glad to be back, I'll resume my identity as c125bob again after this post.

Fred (Bob)
