Comment on Ask HN/PG: Is my IP banned?parent

Comments

DXLOP

"Have you tried your same PC/browser but going through a proxy? Have you tried your same account on the same PC in a different browser? Tried logging in from a free/unsecured wifi somewhere? Tried deleting cookies in your browser? Tried a different PC (library, friend, other family member, etc.)."

I used a web proxy to post this and as I noted in my original post (see paragraph 2) I tried Google Chrome as well as curl. I have also tried accessing the site using a different computer on the same network/IP. I did not mention this in my original post and in hindsight I see that I should have.

Perhaps this question should have been just addressed to PG (and an email would have been sufficient), but on the other hand when I realized that the userscript might have been the cause a few minutes after posting, ashleyw's and jacquesm's comments were valuable.

So please excuse me if I wasted your or anyone else's time.
