It seems X don’t like me tweeting multi pics of non league grounds and my hiking photos. Whenever I do now, I get blocked and asked to authenticate myself. This is normally resolved immediately, but is a pain.

Unfortunately since yesterday I’m unable to get back in. Maybe it’s time to try Blue Sky?
