Hi all!

Come across a strange issue!
I can't access BCF using my wifi but if I go on my mobile data it's okay.

Any ideas to what the issue could be?

Wow, such info.

What ISP?
Which browser?
What antivirus?

It's likely your ISP has marked BCF as an 'adult site' and has acted accordingly. Turn off all family/porn filters and you might be able to access it, but as CaNsA says, you'll need to provide more information. What error message do you get? What ISP? What model of router? Can you access it if you connect to the router via a wire (unlikely but it might tell us something)? What browser? Does it work with another browser? Have you tried from a different PC/device connected to the same router?

Login to your VM account on-line and disable all the crappy web safety parental settings bullshit.

It can take upto 24hrs to come into effect.

Can you access it with a laptop, or is it your phone only that has the problem?

Laughing Presumably you'd know if you'd done something to get your old account banned.

Does BCF work when using a different device on your home wifi?

Virgin media saw it as a Risk so stopped me accessing it.
I notified them of the problem I was having they checked it out and have removed this forum from the list of blocked pages.

Hmmm.
Surely I'm not the only one on here on Virgin Media though.



Oh well. Sorted now.
