New problem

Was just thinking a few hours ago that it looked like the logout problems had been solved. When I go hit with 'locked out of site' message!! ?? Thanks to a thunderstorm blowing through I got shut down, but its letting me sign in now.

I saw that last week.
The one about being banned from the site.
Couldn't visit any page for a few hours...I just gave up, and came back the next day.
Haven't seen it since.
I think its been said, the boss is aware of this one.

Our host had to run our traffic through Cloudflare as we are getting hammered for some reason I can not figure out. To me, traffic looks normal, but something is causing traffic to double for the community. So the solution was to run it through cloudflare. Should not be blocking normal traffic thought.

It strikes me randomly. I could just be clicking mark all forums read, entering the gallery, visiting a post. It's quite annoying as it shouldn't be ever triggered by clicks. That is supposed to ban bots that spam the link many times a second.

I had it this morning when I tried to upload images. Then I couldn't access the website at all for about an hour.

It's been really bad today. I've been able to view posts but when I've wanted to reply or upload images*, I get the "rate limited" screen. It seems to me that this "solution" is as bad or worse than the problem it's meant to solve, since it's making the forum unusable.

* It worked this time, but it took a long time for the "Edit" and "Preview" screens to load, and I keep having to log in again. I'll see if checking the "Remember Me" box will help, but it shouldn't be necessary for just editing a post.

Just tried uploading some images and it didn't work. The "Upload" screen went blank and never refreshed. Everything is taking a very long time. Will try again later. Maybe the "self-healing" process will have worked by then.

I tried replying to a thread and uploading images again. At one point I got this error in the upload screen: "502 Bad Gateway cloudflare". At another, two files did get uploaded. However, when I tried to upload more the upload screen remained blank.

I keep getting the temporary ban page every time I try to look at photos. Can't get back on for hours.

Yesterday I have been banned too with no reason in the middle of zooming some image...
