"Your IP address has been banned"

[alFR]

Tonight when I try to access the forums without logging in I get the above message and can't get in. Seems like a bug because:

• It works if I log in, which it shouldn't if my ip really was banned.
• I have a static ip, same one for years, so it seems unlikely that my ip has accidentally been banned (and it's never been deliberately banned to my knowledge).
• It worked fine yesterday.

Any ideas?

I would contact one of the administrators with this question. Perhaps @Doctor Q can assist.

Yes, we've gotten a number of reports about this dating back to yesterday. Not sure what's causing it, as the IPs aren't actually banned. Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing? Is it the standard XenForo notice that your IP is banned?

Ya a screenshot would really help

Happened to me this afternoon also, and a couple weeks ago I think... next time, if a next time, i'll take a screenshot

Sorry, I don't have a screenshot and it seems to have fixed itself now... it was the standard Xenforo notice though. Will screenshot it and post here if it recurs. Thanks!

Thanks. I think we tracked it down.
