No. But I'm not sure about extensions installed in November 2007! > Or maybe it was just a normal block, set on 13th November 2007, > which now suddenly became active.

Looking at the table row would be > interesting. My solution was a little bit rude: I truncated the table "ipblocks". Just out of curiosity, I restored the content of "ipblocks" from backup and yes, you have correctly described my problem: There were 2 entries in "ipblocks" associated with my name (both stamped with "2007-11-13"). After upgrade to 1.18 (and "some changes to blocks") an attempt to enter the wiki with my username (which was blocked since 2007-11-13), created an additional block entry, now blocking any user with this specific IP address! I hope my rude solution (truncation of "ipblocks") will no lead to unpleasant side effects.
