Question to PPRuNe re Access

[Firestreak]

Why am I not allowed to access PPRuNe on my computer at work? For obvious reasons, I don't want to log on at work as the men in black Omegas would be lined up at the office door (it is MoD property after all). For many years I've looked at PPRuNe in the quiet hours, now I get a message that I've exceeded the number of Forums I am allowed to look at----so, no look at PPRuNe at work.

Why?

[Shackman]

Likewise - started immediately after the thread on :mad: by MOD.

Oh s**t; there's a black Omega just pulled up outside.

[BEagle]

It is a gagging policy enforced by the Ministry of Love who don't want people to know the truth about today's military........

[L J R]

Is there still a link to PPRUNE on your RAF's internet web front page - or has that gone.

[handysnaks]

Don't take it personally!
I can't log on at work either, and neither can all sorts of other people in the civil sector!

[PPRuNe Pop]

I suggest that access is blocked at your end. Everyone looking at PPRuNe can take a view in all forums except those that are 'forbidden fruit' - like the private and admin ones.

I saw this last Wednesday or Thursday as well, when I wasn't logged in. However at home it's appears fine.

The message didn't look like a normal work lockout - That tends to say "This is not a work related site - It's blocked" or words to that affect.

This message definately implied - "You've had your chance to look - now go and register for the site". I'll have to check on Monday:(

Funny old thing
I'm told I've exceeded my No of forums as soon as I look at the 1st thread - I've only been there for 5 nano-seconds!:suspect:

If anyone gets a reply from the board staff, would you let me know? I've e-mailed and PM'd thrice, but so far, its 'nothing heard, out'.

Back on topic now. ;)

Just re-enter your username and password or re-login if you are logged out.I believe if you are visiting Pprune as a guest there is a limit to the number of threads you are permitted to view. Every now and then the servers at work get reset and all your history files and cookies are deleted,this will also happen if there are any outages or power cuts.

A MOD/BT message will appear if you try to access a website that is not permitted ie,Ebay and as far as I'm aware Pprune is not a restricted site at work,YET!

I can't agree with everything BEagle says in post #9 but most of it makes sense ..... :ok:

Like a tw#t, I have just found an undisturbed e-mail from the board staff sent to me last week. Apologies.

Time spent in recconaisance etc..

As PPPop has said, you need to be logged in to avoid this message. It is a new toy to try to encourage folk to register rather than browse as guest. If any of you receiving the message were actually logged in at the time rather than 'hiding' from the MODPLOD:) please let us know.

No black limos in PPRune-land as far as I am aware.

[Paul Wilson]

If your worried about the chaps in black Omegas, just create a new username that you only use at work, and only for reading not for posting. That has always worked for me in similar situations.

Got to go someone at the door...........

[Shackman]

If you're having problems, try deleting all the cookies (Tools, General, Delete Cookies). It's worked for me, but I :oh:

[Wader2]

Can you access other external WWW sites? If not then it is simply a case that you need an IGS account.

Why am I not allowed to access PPRuNe on my computer at work?

Err...because you're supposed to working, perhaps?
