--- Quote from: TDIRunner on August 10, 2018, 09:46:41 AM ---I had the "banned" issues several months ago, and luckily it hasn't hit me again since. I know several others have had the issue as well and Snowcone has a new thread about it that he posted yesterday. Luckily it seems to be an easy fix. I'm curious if anyone who has cleared their cache has had the issue come back again or if it's been a permanent fix (so far). --- End quote --- Almost every day, across multiple devices at the moment. Hasn’t happened today yet, but it did yesterday. |

It seems to happen every few days. i.e. I'll be able to log on and post for a few days, then I'll be banned for a couple of days. Not sure if this is affecting anyone else, but I spoke with Shenske and he doesn't know what the issue is (other than me having a zillion different IP addresses from which I've logged in). Until I clear cookies, I will see this message indefinitely. (Waits for snarky reply from Smoooooooooth...) --- End quote --- We know and this has affected quite a few members. It most likely has something to do with this change implemented to the site while ago: http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=24063.0 As it cached stuff closer to the user. Quote from my message on things I've noticed: --- Quote ---The ban thing too started when you did the Cloudfire thing, and it's sort of "fake ban" When I check member that sayshe/she is banned they are not according to their profile. To my knowledge in these cases none of us have actually banned anyone, and 99.9% (one has not been solved so far but not sure was he real) of the time asking member to clear their browser's cookies and cache solves the "fake ban". --- End quote --- Quote from Snowcone (also on front page): --- Quote ---In a recent change that put the content here at The Cover Project behind a CDN, we've noticed a huge influx of messages indicating that people were banned. In researching this issue, it seems that the forums are showing this message to users that are not in fact banned. If you are seeing a banned message, please clear your cookies and cache and try to login again. In virtually all cases, this has resolved the issue. If you can't get that to work, as always, you can reach the admin team at forum_admins [at] thecoverproject.net --- End quote --- --- End quote --- This doesn't fix the problem for me. I've tried on numerous PCs, with a few browsers, and my phone. Clearing it only means I can access the forum, but as soon as I try to login, BAN. Then it'll just randomly allow me to login a day or two later. |

I've got the same problem that Wiggy has. It happens really random and across multiple devices. |

Maybe changing your IP-adress might help? |
