I got a bad one. I tried a few years back to log into flickr with my yahoo account. No matter what I tried, I kept getting this error:
"Hello- new account signups are temporarily unavailable from this network address space used by your Internet Service Provider.'
Flash forward 2 or 3 years. They've gotta have it fixed by now, right?
Nope.
- emilburzo 11y agoThat looks more like an IP (range?) blacklist than a bug, doesn't it?
- stretchwithme 11y agoSure, it is. But I can log into the yahoo account with no problem. You'd think this many years after the acquisition they would have one source of truth on what should be blocked.
- stretchwithme 11y agoAnd I tried with my phone (wifi off) and went through the 2 step authentication. Then I get the same error. So, kind of doubting its an IP range blacklist thing.
- sievebrain 11y agoWithout a doubt that's an anti-abuse block that they forgot about. I've seen it happen. People add IP range blocks and then consider the problem solved and move on.
