the system for forgotten password, new registrations and stuff is all messed up. They are trying to keep bots out and blocking spam attacks. But it affects normal users. At the moment guests are blocked from viewing unless they log in.

if they are new users they can't register, I have to do it.

Thanks. But I can't log in because the forgotten password doesn't work. Are you able to do it for me? I need my password is the short question as I need my daily fix of CCMB

I've even tried the Request Account Details for my password but it shows my e mail address but no password. How can I move things forward?

use this email [email protected]

send me a mail and I'll try to reset the password for you. i'll need to be able to have contact with you in case you get logged out

Done. Thanks very much. All sorted.

CCMB is open again now to users who are not logged in so they can view.

A recent security update meant it was restricted to members only while that was completed.

Wherever possible keep logged in on your different devices as priority will be given to members.

Thanks for your patience.

Same here, it was fine for me before the last update however

update. user registrations and password resets are now working and email notifications should also work when you regsister/change password.

if the site doesn't load try a different browser as well as the vpn option as discussed above.

Mike, I have been trying to log in to your site for over a week without success, until now. Have the 'Global Restrictions' been inadvertently changed or something (I think some websites have this)?

I used to be able to log in from China without using a VPN. When I couldn't log in, I tried using my VPN from my usual and reliable USA location, but to no avail. I then tried the Canadian and Australian settings, but still couldn't log in on my phone. Then the penny dropped and I tried a UK location on my home computer and finally, I was able to access your site,
However, it does mean I can no longer view on my phone, as my phone doesn't have a UK location.

Slowing down again

Currently slumming it in Es Grau, Menorca. If I use WiFi, message comes up "you are not authorised to view this page". If I use 4g, no problem (apart from a highly variable local signal even if I'm almost sat under the mast.) Oddly, there is a UK car, with a Nathaniel Cars /CF31 sticker and number plate on it closer to the mast than me. Could be a Jack in disguise using up all the 4g? Unless anyone knows better.

30 to 40 seconds to load now

Country restrictions have been lifted. So it should work around the world now. But unfortunately that allows bots to access which slows things down. Still in a bit of trial and error.

See how it goes over the next 24 hours.

Are VPNs illegal in China? And is your internet access still restricted heavily by the government without one?

this is the first time i could load this site for at least the last 3 days.
