Dan, I am going to contact my current forum company and find out what they can do.

I also have a problem with people who want to join but are blocked from joining for some mysterious reasons. Their IP addresses are not blocked and it could be a problem with their own ISPs. One of those being blocked is a regular at Rincon and we speak frequently -- as recently as last week. She reads the forums but is unable to post. My last suggestion to her was to use Firefox instead of the cable-TV Internet service she was using.
