Hi Colin,

I haven’t noticed any problems with the MEM site the last couple of days.

Not quite sure whats happening. If I diconnect from my VPN (IPVanish) it works okay and is very fast. REconnect to VPN and fails. This is on a new computer but not had this issue before. Anyone any ideas.

Thanks,

Colin

MEM does not like VPNs, it has come up several times where their anti spam software can pick up an a VPN thinking it is coming from somewhere that has been the source of a lot of spam.

If you can get on the site search for VPN

I do not understand why you use a VPN. These things only give problems.
