[edit] Your query at User talk:24.64.223.203‎

Hi there. You asked why your computer was blocked over on this talk page; basically, what happened is the IP address was blocked for vandalism. This does happen sometimes - dynamic IPs will sometimes have a problem where someone will vandalize and get the IP blocked. The block appears to be anonymous-editors only in this case, which is why you were able to edit with your registered account. It might be for the best to keep signing in when you can - most of the time, that will avoid the problem of running into someone else's block. Take a look at WP:BLOCK for more info. Cheers!
