Are Orange deliberately blocking PH? I can get to my stuff/whats new. But as soon as I try and read a thread it says it's blocked because of adult content. (Even though that is turned off on my account).

Anybody else getting that?

(Apparently Wolves website is also adult content!)

You have to call Orange and request to get adult content unlocked!

A friend told me that!

I get the same thing, but irregularly.

Perhaps it is only when on 3G rather than wireless ?

Thats the problem. It is unlocked. I can view naked ladies on various sites. But PH is a no go.

Ok,The first time was Ph this time is MPH so I am not blocked on either.

On a side note I find the normal Ph easier to use than the MPH, but obviously I am a total novice at this so I may just need to get used to it.

Now I'm back on my lappy I didn't mean to or remember putting that "stop" in my reply. That's what happens on these stupidly small phone keypads when you have normal sized man fingers smile

Normal PH takes an age to load on my phone, so I prefer the mobile version if on the phone. But it's the mobile one they block (for me).

I'm going to have to phone them I guess.... frown Later

Oh ok, the loading speed is probably the one thing I didn't notice, makes sense now. Good luck with Orange. smile

Orange are having problems detecting whether adult content is allowed on your account. Restating my iPhone seems to work.

Get them to disable it via phone though.

Ending up on block-lists is a constant worry, but I'm afraid that there isn't a lot we can do at this end, especially as it seems to be an Orange problem rather than intentional.

It sprung back in to life some time yesterday. No idea why. But as you say really it's an Orange problem not PH. Possibly it's coming about with the integration of the T-Mobile network/systems and got it's knickers in a twist.

What is a little perculiar is that you can access the site and the forums directory, just not open a thread. So the forums seem to have ended up on some list, not PH as a whole.

yes again same here could get onto PH but when opening a thread it would block, kept thinking somebody had posted something naughty and was being picked up by orange!.

download opera mini.
it bypasses all the childlock stuff and loads pages lots quicker than the standard phone browsers.
