    Banned Messages

    Every now and then since i got on this website a few minutes ago, I keep getting your IP address has been banned by the administrator. It's happened about 4 times and every time it happens, the speed on this site slows down considerably ( when I click another link).

    Any thoughts on how to fix it?

    It's a cache problem on our side. People who are visiting the site as a guest (not logged in) are shown a cached version of some pages. In some weird cases, it ends up caching a page visited by an IP banned user, then displaying that to every guest for the next few minutes (until the cache refreshes). It's a weird issue and our devs have been trying to track it down, but it's not easy.

    You can fix it by just being logged in while visiting.
