Perhaps your usual ISP has blocked access for some weird reason. Can you get access using a computer in, eg, a library?

What browser (IE, Firefox...) are you using on your home computer?
Can you get access from another computer?

There's nothing visibly amiss with your board permissions. What message do you get when you try to access BUS?

None of the IPs you've historically posted from is on the banned IP list :/

What happens when you use another computer (eg, at work or at a library)?

In Firefox, Tools-->Clear Recent History and see if that helps. (If you have any saved passwords, make sure that you write them down first.). Also (in Win7, can't remember the equivalent in XP), run Disk Cleanup, which will zap all of your Net temp files - maybe one of those is messing with you?

i'm really not techy but i suspect it's soemthing connected to the computer you're on if it's working from your phone adn otehr comps and the ip address isn't banned, maybe there's a firewall setting not agreeing with bus? (i can't be of any real help though i'm afraid becasue i'm just not good with tech stuff!)
i hope it sorts itself soon though

After I cleared my cookies I had trouble with my passwords on bus and a few other places this afternoon. Finally got it sorted out. Sometimes the automatic form filler (Not sure the proper tech term) will insist on "correcting" any form changes you type. Sometimes clearing the forms as well as removing all saved passwords can help when you clean out the computer cookies.

And cookies of a different type, check that your keyboard is clean and free of dust and crumbs as this will cause keys to react incorrectly.
