After setting up an ad, I received this message:
"Thank you for visiting the Sailboat Owners group of websites. Unfortunately, our security system has detected an unusual activity from your IP address and won't let you proceed further."
I entered addresses for Google images of the auto-bailers I want to sell.
Do you suppose these triggered the irritating security response?

Nope. The message means exactly what it says: hacking efforts were identified on the IP address you're currently using. Doesn't mean that you did anything wrong. If you're using a VPN try turning it off to see if that helps. VPNs come from data centers that are frequently used by the bad guys, too.

Phil-
Thanks for the quick response. I guess this is the IP address of the computer I am using. I think I have the machine set to use random IP addresses and no VPN in use. I have never run into such a problem before, and I will appreciate your help dealing with it.
