Firewall lock out?

2 days ago the site started missing threads then went away completely.
I just did a google " is pentax forums down" it said it wasn't.
More googling told me about the firewall and offered to fix it.
Just back now.

It may have happened to others as clueless as I was. If users seem gone the last 2 days it likely did.

It happened when I last posted.

It's quite possible. More info (and ways to avoid this issue) can be found in this thread:

Thanks. That must have been it. I wish I had a way to find that when I was locked out.

I just discovered what caused it as it just happened again. I didn't repeat before I was locked out. The problem seems I copied the Embed instead of BBcode from Flickr. It might help others who try the same.

That definitely sounds like something that would trigger it. I've added this example to the guide as well.

I've also started adding a few browser-based notices to help make users aware and this would be a good candidate as plenty of folks here use Flickr.
