OK, I will watch out for this in the future. I still have the same problem today unfortunately. I cannot access our club website www.portlouistoastmasters.org nor other toastmastersclubs.org sites.
For example:
www.toastmastersclubs.org
crimson.toastmastersclubs.org
tianjin.toastmastersclubs.org
demo.toastmastersclubs.org all cannot be accessed
My IP address at the moment is 197.224.111.144
I have no problem accessing other web sites, The problem started just over 1 week ago.
Thanks in advance

We have had a recent bout of a lot of spamming, so we (Brian and the Ambassadors) have upped our measures to deal with it. As Jane notes, Brian has the ability to block ranges of IP addresses from access to deal with spamming/security issues, and you may have inadvertently got caught up in one of the ranges.

I apologize for the inconvenience. I imagine Brian will address this shortly.
