Farewell again to FamilySearch

Update

I was going to update this with the good news that FamilySearch had once again made their pages accessible, and that for the last few weeks I have been able to work with their site, and was going to rejoin the Facebook groups for FamilySearch users that I had had to leave, but today I found that I was locked out completely. Has anyone else had messages like these?

Access Denied
Error 15
I wonder what Error 15 is?

Earlier FamilySearch made their "new discovery page" compulsory, but it didn't work on my computer, so that cut down drastically on my family history research. Then I discovered that they had fixed it, so I continued working with it. But now I seem to be locked out completely.

Thanks to FamilySearch I was able to add some 30000 people to my family tree in the last 3-4 years, and make considerable contributions to the FamilySearch collaborative family tree as a result, but that has come to an end now that my access has been blocked.

Anyway, thanks to all the people who contributed to the FamilySearch Family Tree, and who helped by indexing source documents. It was good fun while it lasted.
