Could you look at this please

Sorry, just realised that I forgot to thank everyone for the help. So thanks.

When I read your replies I assumed it was my computer (I deliberately use a fairly low spec computer for site design, the lowest spec I expect my surfers to use). So I booted up my newest, highest powered, most "whistles and bells" computer and tried it on that. I got the same problem. So I guess AEBN use some kind of Geo-blocking and being in England I am barred!

Shame, I don't want to watch the movies but it is dangerous, verging on pointless, to design websites you cannot test yourself, so I guess I'll have to look for a less restrictive movie sponsor.

This should definitely be a rule of thumb for any webmaster. I do hope you get this issue resolved, my friend!

Maybe AEBN doesn't like Poms - works for Aussies

Hmm, interesting, only England that they block. I guess it is that tea party thing all over again!

I emailed AEBN about this and one other thing. They answered the other thing but totally ignored my question "Do you use Geo-blocking to exclude some countries? I am in Britain and I have tried it on two computers (one high spec, one low spec), it works on neither. However I have asked other people to try it, and the page works for people in the US. If you do not use Geo-blocking, could you tell me what software it uses client side, so that I can check mine is up to date." AEBN are normally very helpful, and it is unusual for them to totally blank someone over a simple question, so I'm guessing there is something they want to hide.

Sorry, just realised that comment could be misinterpreted. I wasn't blaming the Republicans, I was referring to the one in Boston nigh on 240 years ago.
