Ive never dealt with vbulletin software before, but I know that in IPB 2, it tracks your ip, not just username, so if vbulletin is the same, you were most likely not banned.

@ applejustworks: what font is that in your signature, looks familiar, just cant remember the name.

username SIVP is not banned. youre using the same IP address for this username as you did for SIVP, which also is not banned.

Let me, or one of the mods, know which username you would like to continue using, and we'll remove the other.

heres the error message i get when i want to post, or pm someone...

sivp, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:


Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?

If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I know I activated it cause i posted a good 40 posts and was able to login several times before.

Well looks like it's working again, thanks :)

I'm just curious, what was my status before you changed it back to a registered user?? Was it something I did or just some kind of conflict?
