The former software the site used (XenForo) simply deleted the account without attributing prior ownership. I figured as much (without the technical mumbo jumbo) but thanks for confirming.
samhexum Posted Tuesday at 02:50 PM Posted Tuesday at 02:50 PM @RadioRob my desktop tells me to "click on the link below to pass protection", but I have clicked approximately 100 times and nothing is happening. Below the link are three dots that keep flashing and beneath them the numbers count 3210 over and over and over again And there does not seem to be any way for me to actually pass this protection and continue onto the website with my desktop. Help!

Switching over to my personal VPN solved the problem for me.

Now I can get to the site initially but as soon as I try to sign in I get the warning page. I am using my phone to type this so I can access that way. The warning tells me it is for my IP address, so wouldn't the same thing happen no matter which browser I was using? Remember, you're talking to a technological moron.
RadioRob Posted Tuesday at 09:26 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 09:26 PM When you disable the VPN, what happens? Your phone is likely using a different Norton VPN endpoint. You should be able to have your VPN select a different IP address. If it works when you disable the VPN, my guess is the desktop is using an address that other Norton users did bad things on and you're taking the hit for it. Rotating the IP address should fix it.

You can't possibly realize how indecipherable this was to me. Last June I switched from Verizon to spectrum for my Internet and the technician updated my Roku device, but he couldn't figure out how to update my printer with the new information. I am still going to call HP any day now to ask one of their technicians to take over my computer Remotely and update the information for me because I am that much of a technological moron. And my phone isn't connected to my Norton subscription because one would have to know how to do that sort of thing in order to do that sort of thing. Edited Tuesday at 09:54 PM by samhexum
