Hi Doug, I got banned for some reason or another, but I'm not sure why unless it's the browsers.. It's been hard getting any offers to credit the last few days,but I was switching back and forth trying Fire fox and Internet Explorer the last couple of days, but they're not working that well now, so I tried downloading a different browser called Opera, but when I tried to login to my account it said I was banned.
Regards Tim

You will need to email Doug directly simplegpt.com@gmail.com or use the Contact Me link on the bottom of the website page.

Hi Mehokie, Thanks for the reply, I did email Doug last night at 11:00 PM Eastern time. I guess I got banned when I tried to login with the Opera browser I downloaded last night, because that's when it happen. I sure as heck uninstalled that, because it's got me all screwed up now It said my account was banned and I was shocked!! I sure hope I can get this issue solved before I fall down to far in contest. Thanks again for the reply and if you hear from Doug will you please tell him to check his gmail account please. I sent it to simplegpt.com@gmail.com and I also sent a message via the contact link at the bottom of the site. Thanks Tim

He usually responds within 24 hours. It probably was the Opera. It has a Turbo option that looks like a proxy to the site and that is an auto-ban. But Doug will be the one to handle it.

Hi Mehokie, Thanks for replying, I figured it was the Opera browser, because when I went to login I couldn't, It just popped the message up saying my account was banned. :-( I think the Opera browser messed up my IE browser too, because when I closed the Opera browser and opened IE it opened up without any add-ons working, but after I restarted IE again it worked ok. Hopefully I'll hear from Doug soon, because it's been 25 hours now and I'm having withdraw from simplegpt already. Well take care and have a nice night...
Thanks Tim

Hello, It's been more than 24 hours and I still haven't heard from Doug yet, in fact it's been over 39 hours. I can't even check to see where I am at in the contest. I was in 4th place, but it took a lot of hours of work to get there, because not many offers were crediting before I got banned, but I can see in the chat box where members are getting offers to credit now and I'm stuck here waiting and wondering what's going on and I think it's unfair, because I don't think I did anything wrong to get banned, but if I did It sure wasn't intentional. I think members should be warned about crappy browsers like Opera that will get them banned without them knowing It. Heck I've been a loyal member to this site for over a year and have never had anything like this happen. I wish I knew what was going on, is Doug on vacation or something? Can someone tell me how far I've dropped in the contest while I wait?
Heck when I had my own business building and roofing houses before I became paralyzed if I wasn't available and something came up I'd have someone there to take care of it, especially if it was a contractor/person I built for regularly!
I like all the people here at Simplegpt and I'm not mad at nobody, but myself and I'm just frustrated and I wish I knew what was going on. Thanks again for any and all the help you guy/gals here have given me and have a great day all...
Tim

The moderators always warn people about the turbo option on Opera when we see someone new is planning to use it. Not sure who recommended it to you but it would have been nice for them to have included that piece of information.
You need to remember that it is a weekend and Doug has a family. I know you are a good member and things should be fixed soon, so just hang in there. Right now you don't show in the contest because your account was banned. When this is fixed, you will pop back into it.

Thanks Shirlchave, I know you and Mehokie do a great job helping all of us on here when it comes to things like this. I can't remember who it was that was talking about using the opera browser, but i wouldn't advise anyone to use it' because if its not setup right it can get you baned quick! Thanks To Doug i can now log back in to my account. So for all you members that are reading this please be warned that if your not sure its best to check with ShirlChave or Mehokie, or just leave it alone. Thanks again for all the help with everything...
Kindest Regards Tim

Maybe there should be a notice on the website itself stating that: "Opera browser has a Turbo option that looks like a proxy to the website, and using proxy's is an auto-ban. Do not use Opera while using SimpleGPT."
Whatcha think??
