    Please can I have some more information? I am interested in:
    1) Exactly what were you doing (with links if possible) when you saw the problem. see post#5
    2) How often did you see this problem? Was it on many threads or very rarely? A few times across the boards
    3) Did the problem occur straight after you logged in. Always logged in
    4) Was it consistent with every thread you looked at. No
    5) Was it concsitent with a particular thread. No and I was always able to open the thread on the second attempt
    6) What did you do to make it go away? Nothing. It resolved itself
    7) Is this still a problem? Not had it in the last dozen threads opened
    8) If you clear your cookies does the problem go away? Just cleared them so will let you know if it makes a difference
    Basically the more detailed information I get the more likely I am to be able to be able to fix this problem.

    I got banned briefly too! As did missstropy - who texted me in a panic!

    1) Exactly what were you doing (with links if possible) when you saw the problem. - Opening the contacts list
    2) How often did you see this problem? Was it on many threads or very rarely? Once
    3) Did the problem occur straight after you logged in. Was already logged in
    4) Was it consistent with every thread you looked at. n/a - A refresh sorted it
    6) What did you do to make it go away? A refresh sorted it

    Keeps telling me I've been banned when I try to go in to Discussion Time. If I refresh it lets me in.

    Got a bit of shock the first time!

    If it's letting you back in then it's definately broken :p

    I keep getting problems with the site - its not my comps as its the same on 4 diff ones.

    Clicking on some threads I get the vbulletin saying I am not permitted to view the thread

    or I get

    I've been getting this about 50% of the time when I click 'thanks' on the comp forums.

    It's been happening since the site overhaul weeks ago and is showing no signs of improving.

    If I re-open the thread from the main page on a new tab, it lets me back in and shows my thanks. Fine if you just want to thank the OP, but I often want to thank other posters (who've put other answers etc in their posts) and often have to open the same post 2 or 3 times.

    No problems with being banned yet (fingers crossed!)
