Almost every time I browse this site, I end up 'locked out'. I think it is due to the amount of requests I generate, but it's very annoying.

The way I browse sites, particularly forums, is to go to the Latest Posts screen, and use CRTL+Left Mouse button to links in new tabs. I usually go through the entire latest posts list, open all of the posts I want to read and then close the tab and start reading.

It appears that doing this triggers my IP being blocked, as I then can't access the site for a period of time - guesstimate is an hour.

I can try to change my behaviour to stop this happening, but would be good to know if there is a defined limit to number of windows, requests, image loads etc.

Thanks

Hello @chimaera,

The server may be identifying you as a possible attack and banning your IP for sending too many requests in a short time frame. You could perhaps try opening them over a slightly longer period of time to stop this issue.

Thanks.
