Why was I banned?
I've been posting on an off in Dell's community forums for a few years. Sometimes I've asked for help, sometimes I've tried to help. A couple days ago I posted a message asking about the new XPS 8900 BIOS. RoHe helped me, and I decided to update the BIOS this morning. It updated fine. I wrote here that I'd updated the BIOS without any problems. Came here this afternoon and signed in and got:
You are not allowed to access this site.
We're sorry, but you have been banned from this site.
No explanation why, no email explaining why. As far as I can see, all of the messages I've written here have been removed. What could I have done wrong? I've never been rude to anyone, or used foul language, or (as far as I know) done anything that could've gotten me banned.
I made a new account so that I could write this message.
I'm very confused. Why was I banned?

Never mind. I was able to sign in this morning with my old account and everything is back to normal.

I thought it might have something to do with the forum makeover, but I also thought that maybe I'd unknowingly done something that got me banned. Guess it was a bug with the new forum. I wonder how many other people were affected like me.

Had this problem, had to whitelist Dell.com from my adblocker.
