If You Are Getting "You are Banned" Errors...

Published on February 26, 2010 By Island Dog In WinCustomize 2011 Feedback

If you are getting errors on the WC 2010 beta site in reference to "being banned" when trying to download, can you please provide more information so we can track this down?

Please list what browser you are using, what page you were trying to download from, etc.

Opera 10.10, Tibetan Morning http://beta.wincustomize.com/explore/wallpapers/43153/download Also with ie8, ff3 (latest) and Chrome....for all skins tried (all in the "Newest" panel).

Tells me I've been banned and can't download.

Hey I.D...... I just heard CarGuy1's been banned! Somebody taking that JU thread seriously?

I've gotten the 'banned' message several times, over several days. So it doesn't seem to be the page or file I'm trying to download. I'm using Google Chrome browser. But just to check, I used IE8 also - same 'banned' message. It may have no bearing, but when I get those messages things aren't looking so hot on the beta --- slow slow responses, or lots of images are missing.

And once I get the banned message, I have to wait a day or so to get 'unbanned.' ?

Other than that, this beta site is a HUUUUUUGE improvement over the older one. I'm lovin' it.

I was using Firefox 3.6 and tried downloading the roboticdefiance cursor. I got the banned message using wincustomizetest.com but was able to download via the wincustomize.com site.
