Holding my breath this time. Been a victim too of this too often, but at least at this point I have some workarounds in my back pocket *smile*. It is a shock though, to be banned for no apparent reason. Especially if one has never been banned from a forum before.

An OT comment on shingles...both time I had shingles I was able to take an oral anti-viral, which shortened the duration of the rash and decreased the other symptoms. And the second time around I used aloe gel on the shingles rash areas, and that really helped speed up healing even more. And decreas...

Couple of ways of dealing with your banned IP: - Use a VPN so that your public IP address is the address that the VPN gives out. - Change a couple of digits in your router's MAC Address on the right end (least significant digits) of your MAC Address. This causes your ISP to generate a new IP address...

Sounds like you haven't started with CPAP yet. Yes, there are lots of different CPAP masks, I'm sure that you can find one that works for you. This forum is a good source of help to get you over the bumps and pot holes that may come up. The main thing is to stop worrying until you actually have some...

Sounds like the OP got a loose screw there to me :-).

Bad joke, sorry.

Installation instructions for mac didn't work for me. I needed to go into "System Preferences" -> "Privacy and Security" and click on "open anyway" for OSCAR down at the bottom of that window.

Just got the new Nova Micro. Looked like it might work for a bearded side-sleeper. Kind of a cradle nasal cushion crossed with a nasal pillows cushion. Going to try it tonight for the first time, have high hopes. As long as it doesn't get pushed around by my pillow too much, might work :-).

RogerSC, Do you find the straps of the N30 to be problematic? My machine came with the P10 (same straps) and was problematic as it needed to be overly tight to keep it in place. Bought the N30i with the hollow tube, back strap and top connection to be far more secure without cranking the straps. No...

First post in a long time, but since my favorite masks haven't been mentioned...for me, the "nasal cradle" masks work well. The cushion for a nasal cradle masks goes under your nose rather than over it. Personally, can't use the popular AirFit N20 because it goes over my nose. But the nasal cradle m...

I'll just say it one more time, the IP Address I get from my ISP hasn't changed in some time. On the other hand, the bans come and go from time to time...twice in the last couple of weeks with a few days in between. My IP Address didn't change during this period. The reason that I know is that I loo...

If that’s the answer, how do you account for the ban coming and going? The IP Address from my ISP never changes. Seems flakier than that.

Still banned, by the way

If you are banned, how are you commenting?

Yes, well, a VPN will give you a different IP than your ISP, you know. Works fine, but annoying. I'm only using the VPN for this forum right at the moment, never been banned anywhere else.

Still banned.

Still banned. I really don't think that this is something that someone else is doing via my account. My password is long and random, not guessable in my lifetime. And not exposed anywhere. Changing my password to another long, random password has no effect. This appears to simply be a forum software...

Latest ban went away for few days. Now I’ve just been banned again. Beginning to feel just a bit picked on here. Should I be paranoid? They do seem to be after me.

We don't ban IP addresses (we as in the moderators and/or administrators) here.

I did send Carolyn a link to this post.

Thank you.
