Just upgraded to v5.... Posting issue

Featured Replies

Ive just upgraded this evening, to V5 and I love the look, I've had a tweak of things and will do over the coming days... However, one of my posters has said that he can't see the 'reply to this topic' box at the bottom of the threads as he says it's isn't showing?

I'm waiting to see if others have had the same issue, but is there an option/checkbox in the backend I'm missing?

Just had this back from the poster who was struggling....

II is my VPN that’s the issue.

Whoever hosts the site uses Cloudflare for site protection, they in turn use an IP checker and suss out that a VPN is being used and use blocks to prevent potential harmful posting. I think the members do most of that 

All I did was change location and Cloudflare/ IP checker didn’t spot the new location as a VPN. It’s a cat and mouse game that VPN providers and site security play. Rotating IPs are the answer, but they can slow down the connection. I just need to change locations every now and the so that the identified VPN IP addresses are refreshed regularly.

We do block some VPNs on our platform which are troublesome in nature and involved in attacks on our platform. I would recommend not using a VPN to connect to your community or, if you do, not one which is free or not a trusted provider, which in turn may be used by some malicious individuals.
