Hi, Rocky has posted on FB that she can't get on to this site. She's getting a message saying her IP is blocked as she is blacklisted. Can any of the mods help? Thanks

by **aero280** » August 4th, 2018, 11:43 am

I’m not on Facebook.

First question is to find out if she is at home.

by **aero280** » August 4th, 2018, 11:46 am

It seems that she is online now.

by **liketocook** » August 4th, 2018, 12:31 pm

Thanks aero

by **Rocky** » August 4th, 2018, 2:33 pm

Test to see if I can post.

by **Rocky** » August 4th, 2018, 2:34 pm

Brilliant. Seems to have sorted itself. I'm at home and had wondered what had happened here that had added me to a blacklist :shock:

thanks all.

by **aero280** » August 4th, 2018, 3:33 pm

It's possible that you have a "Dynamic IP". You service provider may change the one you use each time you connect. If so, his list may contain one that was banned for some reason. I'll have a look.

by **aero280** » August 4th, 2018, 3:40 pm

I'v had a quick look at the list of banned IP addresses and none of them resemble the one that you are using. Very odd. Must have been a temporary glitch.

It's possible that your own service provider put up a temporary "Ban Everyone" to stop any traffic while they did some maintenance on their equipment.

Zosh has sent me some photos (of her hobbit house) as a slide show via email, but which uploaded into One Drive …. Is there a way of putting them on here ? I did try, but I suspect the file was too large ???

by **aero280** » August 27th, 2018, 11:12 am

As far as I’m aware, you can only load pictures and YouTube videos.

I don’t know “onedrive”. If it’s an open access app, then you can post the link to it.

by **aero280** » August 27th, 2018, 11:14 am

Just had a quick look. It seems that onedrive is a Microsoft thing you have to sign up to before you can view anything.

by **scullion** » August 27th, 2018, 11:19 am

if you click on the photos doesn't it give you an option to download/save as?
if so you should then be able to resize them (i just use a custom resize option - much easier) that can be found in the photo manager - i assume you are using a pc rather than apple.

by **PatsyMFagan** » August 27th, 2018, 5:47 pm

thanks.... not sure I can re-size someone else's photos, but I will see if Zosh (or Mr Z) can do that ...

by **aero280** » August 27th, 2018, 8:03 pm

Once they are downloaded, they should be yours to do with as you wish.

by **StokeySue** » August 27th, 2018, 9:30 pm

It depends on how they have been linked into a slide show too, you can only resize them as individual picd

by **northleedsbhoy** » October 4th, 2018, 9:02 am

It seems that I can post again

. For a long time I've been getting a message saying 'General Error' 'SQL Error'. I emailed Lee via the link it gave but today it seems to have cleared. Anyone have any idea why I was getting that message?

Cheers
NLB :tu:

by **suffolk** » October 4th, 2018, 9:11 am

No idea ... I've had no problems lately ... sometimes clearing your cache gets rid of that sort of problem ... glad to see you back anyway

by **earthmaiden** » October 4th, 2018, 10:48 am

Perhaps Rio tweaked it!

by **StokeySue** » October 4th, 2018, 11:09 am

The board does occasionally give the SQL error message when the server is having hiccups

However the message also appears if you write a post with a character in it SQL (the coding language) can’t read such as an emoji, so perhaps there’s a character on your keyboard it doesn’t like? I

by **northleedsbhoy** » October 4th, 2018, 12:36 pm

I tried various posts on different threads and even logged out a few times. I logged out again this morning and was able to post. I take your point about an emoji and as you know I always finish with :tu:

so maybe it was that but heyho, it's working now.

Cheers

Hello, why did the forum not accept my two Gmail email addresses which are NOT disposable? I constantly use them for both work and personal. In the end I had to use my company email address just to sign up in the forum. I think the forum bans anyone with common addresses and cannot distinguish those from disposable ones.

by **Riocaz** » December 4th, 2018, 3:31 pm

The board can tell the difference, but both disposable email addresses and free email addresses are banned for different reasons.

Hi ... Rats is over on Sakkarins thread unable to get onto Wildies ... I posted her a link and suggested she clear her history but still no luck. Any ideas?

by **suffolk** » January 14th, 2019, 3:05 pm

Ah ... she’s back now :tu:

BUT ever since the site came back today, I’ve lost the Waving smiley and another ... cant identify which atm but there’s two blank boxes ...

Edited to add: and I can’t see Patsy’s photos of Beau the dog... and I could before :cry:

by **aero280** » January 14th, 2019, 7:03 pm

Not sure what's going on. I couldn't get on earlier, but I was busy with the dentist and then the builders.

I can see pictures of the dog in Patsy's first post.

And the smileys are all there :wave:

by **suffolk** » January 14th, 2019, 7:06 pm

I can’t see the waving smiley in your post Will ... all I’ve got is a box with the word ‘wave’ in it

by **aero280** » January 14th, 2019, 7:28 pm

Hmm...

Dunno. Does it change if you open a new window and type the wildfood.info address in again?

by **suffolk** » January 14th, 2019, 7:56 pm

Aha! The waving smiley is there now that I’ve done that (I’m on my iPhone). I’ll have a look and see if I can see Patsy’s photos ....

by **suffolk** » January 14th, 2019, 7:59 pm

Yes! I can see the pics now

Thanks Will :hug:

Just recently (last couple of weeks) I notice that with our Apple MacBook Pro in the top reload window the following phrase occurs.....Not secure - Wildfood.info

It worries me slightly - can anyone throw any light on this ?

by **earthmaiden** » April 9th, 2019, 7:00 am

I thought it just meant that it was not a closed site and that the content could be read by the general public anywhere (which is the case).

by **aero280** » April 9th, 2019, 8:47 am

It’s a thing that Apple have added. For a site like this it shouldn’t be a problem.

The internet is moving from open sites to secure sites. That’s the ones with full addresses starting “https://” rather than “http://“. It m not sure of the full implication, but it seems to only be necessary for sites that you can use for buying things and the like, where you send more personal details like credit card numbers and addresses.

I have read something elsewhere that passwords might be vulnerable, a risk if they are shared with other more sensitive stuff. I am a complete computer idiot so check this with someone knowledgable before doing anything rash.

by **Riocaz** » April 12th, 2019, 1:05 pm

Zosh: It's giving you that because the website isn't "secured" through the use of a security certificate. That's intentional. We don't sell anything so we don't need to pay for a security certificate. You might be able to get rid of it by using: http://www.wildfood.info and not https://www.wildfood.info/

Em: That's true, but not the reason for the window.

Miss Mouse: You should never reuse passwords if at all possible.

That's interesting re the reason and an excellent explanation making much more sense of it all. I suppose it might be argued that Wildfood sells hopes and dreams, 'will my loaf rise, is this really the best recipe for...'

Riocaz wrote:Miss Mouse: You should never reuse passwords if at all possible.

I don't reuse passwords but I wonder what the point is of hugely complicated ones when a computer programme can churn Through thousands in minute. I have them all written in a little book discretely name 'Passwords, Top Secret' which should keep me safe. No I don't, I made that up.

Thanks for the explanation. I hope all is well with you.

by **earthmaiden** » May 5th, 2019, 11:46 am

I was trying to add a link to Kavey's blog after someone asked a question about a recipe. Using the link from the 'jump to' section at the bottom of the Wildie page did not take me to her blog. I seem to remember she revamped it some time ago and so I think the old link no longer works. Could this be updated?

This is the current one: https://www.kaveyeats.com/

by **aero280** » May 5th, 2019, 12:05 pm

I've updated the link.

by **earthmaiden** » May 5th, 2019, 1:35 pm

Thank you!

by **PatsyMFagan** » July 5th, 2019, 7:45 pm

Any admins about ? WWordsworth has sent an SOS as she is unable to log on and needs access … Linda is on the Wildies FB group …

by **aero280** » July 5th, 2019, 8:36 pm

Would someone ask her to try logging in again, please. Somehow her account had been made "Inactive". But I can't see any record of that being done by anyone. I have re-activated the account.

If she can't get in, I will reset the password or something...

by **PatsyMFagan** » July 5th, 2019, 9:05 pm

Thanks Will, I will let her know :tu:

by **WWordsworth** » July 6th, 2019, 11:39 am

I'm back.
Thanks Pat and Aero, been locked out for about a week.
I missed you all.

by **PatsyMFagan** » July 6th, 2019, 12:01 pm

Welcome back :tu:

by **suffolk** » July 6th, 2019, 12:55 pm

by **aero280** » July 6th, 2019, 10:48 pm

Ah! Jolly good! I'm not sure, but the account may have gone Inactive if you tried to login wrongly too many times.

by **WWordsworth** » July 7th, 2019, 10:48 am

Maybe, but all is well now.
