I can't post a reply to a thread in general discussion. It tells me "Sorry, you have been blocked. You are unable to access wrongplanet.net" (the message is from this page: posting.php?mode=reply&f=3&t=315553).

Obviously I am able to access wrongplanet.net and have made this post, but why can't I post in that thread?

Do you get that message when you click the reply button, or when you try to submit the post?

Perhaps that post was deleted before you could post a reply?

When I try to preview it.

No, it's still there. That's happened to me before, though, and I just got a message that said something like, "The requested post/topic doesn't exist" in the space where normally it would give you the two links to either return to the thread or to the forum the thread is in.

Okay, I just tried to preview a post to that thread and had no problems. But this kind of thing has happened before.

You haven't been blocked or you wouldn't be able to post here. It's a bug that some people have experienced from time to time. I've experienced it once or twice and when I re-submit the post the second time it goes through.

Perhaps you could start a new thread?

Wait a minute. What happened to animalcrackers? The last time he posted was in this thread and hasn't posted anything more. Is it possible that now he's unable to post on the site?

Sorry guys, been really busy.

That's a good idea.

Ah, okay. I tried a few times, but really close together.

......I wasn't careful about copying what I wrote somewhere else, and I am not yet feeling like trying to re-write it (took me ages) but I think I will try again later.

Copying it for later might help.

Normally I do, because I've lost huge amounts of writing on here so many times, but I forgot this time.
