Banned from reading forums on my phone???

"Sorry ARSNishi, you are banned from using this forum! Accessing our bulletin board, via open proxy, is not allowed"

I'm a truck driver and have been browsing these forums from the road on my phone for almost a year now..... did I do something different? wrong? Why now, all of the sudden is this NOT allowed?  Upon my return home my computer wasn't left signed into the forums if that's my supposed "crime".

I'm pretty much computer illiterate and basically a plug and play type guy so please put any explanation into layman's terms.  Thanks....

I'm sure Skuzzy will come in with the real details (or PM you), but it could be that your phone finally picked up an IP address from your service provider that at one time was banned by HTC for whatever reason. The solution would be to wait for Skuzzy's reply, since I really have no good suggestions.

Calm down.  You stumbled into an IP block that had been blocked due to some other lunk head being banned from the forums.

Should be fine now.

Yup, up and running now. Many thanks.
