FWIW the restriction seems tighter than ever, my work PC was blocked basically all day yesterday because I opened 2 threads in tabs, then opened a 3rd via the link in a notification email all within a few minutes.

Same. I have simply decided to not spend as much time here on OB. With only one or two tabs open my use of the site drops dramatically.

Just FYSA I ran into this again this morning. Here's what the workflow looked like: I had 7 new notifications. I clicked the notification bell, to display them, and saw they were replies/quotes or likes in 3 different threads. I right-clicked one notification per thread, and opened those 3 threads in new tabs. I ran into the block by the time the 2nd tab was loading.

@Jim SoG FYSA this has gotten way worse over the last few days. It seems like the filtering is counting picture loads in it's algorithm because loading a pic-intensive thread pretty much locks me out. I seem to be getting locked out with even just this simple workflow: see I have notifications -> click the "bell" -> right-click 1 notification and open in new tab -> locked out.

FWIW - this, or similar, used to really affect my ability to access the site and I found that signing out when done perusing really helped. It's just become habit now and I am rarely locked out these days.

That's a shame, and IMHO it really shouldn't be that way. I'm on many other forums of similar scale/profile (so just as likely to be targeted by hackers/bots) and I don't experience this anywhere else.

Looking into this guys - but regardless, this is about to go away with the sites migration to AWS (~3weeks). I'll see what I can do in the meantime.

Thank you for your patience!

Ah, that's great news. I wasn't aware of the AWS migration, but that should be a great change. Thanks for looking into this, and providing such an excellent forum.

There was some changes and this should no longer be an issue even before we swap to AWS
