Indeed I have read and verified that none of the settings in my browsers have been altered. I use stonecold default settings in both my firefox and my internet explorer. So if in fact I am banned while using defaults you need to revamp the script.

ook...im using a normal browser, always have, i haven't connected to you more than 1-2 tabs at a time, and i have NEVER used any speed mod, so im utterly confused at why im banned, also, since a bout a week and a half ago, i've been using opera browser, but yet, no speed mods, im confused, i was banned last night and i wasn't on that whole day, but it worked night before, so im confused

Web standards suggest a browser should use no more than two persistent connections per server. Opera's default is 8 connections per server. Many users increase the number of "Max connections to a server" thinking it will make Opera faster. Are you sure you have never increased that number?

never increased the number, my connection is already pretty fast, and i have done no mods to my browser, and never intend to. By the way, thanks for unbanning me! also, i will NEVER dislike this service, as it is great!

Agreed. I haven't even been on the site for awhile and on and off I keep getting banned from it. Other users that try to view my off-site images are also complaining of similar issues. My settings and their's are all default in all browsers. This is getting ridiculous...

Edit: I'd suggest increasing that max to 8. A DoS attack would use much more than 8, so I don't see the issue on that. Regardless, I use multiple tabs all the time when I'm modifying my site. I just have to. I even do it in multiple browsers so I can view it's validity and appearance in each. This script is getting too buggy for me to even do that now...

You are the first one in almost a year to report this, which most definitely indicates a problem on your end.

Having multiple tabs open will not cause you to get banned, when I am browsing the forums I often times open up in excess of 20 tabs that are showing pages on our servers. My computer knows however to not make more than a certain number of connections to the server at one time (as in a fraction of a second to a second usually). You can have 1,000 tabs open on firefox to the same web page, and as long as you have not modified your default settings, your computer will know not to send more than the default number of connections to the server at any one time.

If you are hot linking images on a free account then it most definitely will not work and has absolutely nothing to do with this issue.
