The last couple of days this site has been throwing "Sorry. The administrator has banned your IP address. To contact the administrator click here" whenever I try to enter the Microsoft Forums, also directly enter http://www.daniweb.com/hardware-and-software/microsoft-windows/windows-nt-2000-xp/10
I can circumvent it by logging into another forum and then navigating to the above latter page.
It happens with Opera, FF, and Tor-FF, so is not really an IP addy issue? With Tor-FF I could be comng from NY or Amsterdam or most anywhere, really... atm I am using an ISP in Goteborg, Sweden not Australia.
Before I log in I can navigate to Hardware & Software Cat, but clicking on Microsoft gives the message. If I log in on some other page.. eg.. H&S Cat, then I am free to go deeper. Interesting... a new forum behaviour.
Cheers.

Jump to PostI'm not sure why this is happening. We are banning a small amount of IPs, none of which are associated with your accounts.
