The problem is Hostwinds are shite. The sooner BHW gets better hosting the better.

But here you go

Had the same problem today from my work computer - couldn't connect whatsoever. Works fine from my home, though.

Had problems myself and noticed BHW has recently implemented a double redirection (#1 with javascript + #2 is a 302), probably to weed out the dummy http requests or maybe curb the DDoS attempts and stray leeching... Check your javascript and cookie settings. Chances are that also the order of the headers might make a difference during the validation so maybe you have a weird browser extension that messes that up but you're not affected when tunneling through a proxy...

Same problem here, just redirects me in a loop before showing a generic VB error. Quite clearly I'm not banned. It's doing the same thing over 3G and across two ISPs, maybe New Zealand is now blocked? (using a US proxy)

About every 10 attempts I get blocked. I am using firefox (latest version I think). I get "this website is running a compression that's not allowed" or something like that ? Anyway once I refresh the page loads ok. I'll post a screenshot later if anyone's interested

Same here.

I even made a thread about it a few days ago
