Thanks for taking the trouble to let us know Mick. Some sites I visit haven't even bothered to find out what their responsibilities are.

I got excited when I saw cookies as the title. Oat and raisin are my favourite, so you can imagine my dissapointment......

Most are probably too young but don't ask Andy Williams about "COOKIES".......come on some must remember!!

Hi Mick. I have logged in from a friends PC and can log in OK. He has tried to register several times with his aol and hotmail. It comes back that his ISP is blacklisted and cannot complete the registration. Is there a way round this? Thanks

Morning Phil, nothing to do with cookies, we run a software which checks IP addresses and email addresses against a database of known spammers. DNSBL. So his IP address is on that list, probably from previous misuse. If you email his details I can set up an account manually. webmaster@75ztcommunity.co.uk. I will just need his email address and preferred user name. Once set up I will email him his log on details and then when logged on he can make any changes in the user control panel.

Your friend might like to check his status on the most used blacklist. http://www.stopforumspam.com/search

Thanks for that it was kind of you to get back so quickly I will email you now ps we checked the spam sight and he isnt known on it

It's not the only one, there is a list of blacklists as long as your arm.
