Sorry, you have been blocked

Simply attempting to visit the site this morning through incognito Google Chrome blocked me.

I tried again several minutes later and after a computer restart (which not know how important the restart was); again incognito Google Chrome. No problem visiting the site.

Do you remember what you were doing when this happened? Had you been signed in for a while and clicking on something triggered the response? Or were you trying to sign in and that's what you got?

Much simpler than any of that. I was directly trying to visit the site, physicsforums.com, and not yet anything more. Then I was blocked, showed the described/defined message. I had no chance to sign-in because I was "blocked" from reaching the physicsforums site.

Actually a small bit more to it but not much. I was visiting some other of my favorite sites; decided to visit physicsforums so I clicked on the saved link to physicsforums, and was then blocked. I keep a bookmark or saved favorite places for physicsforums, and I usually use the saved link to reach the site.

I will try another recheck later on Google Chrome, incognito mode again.

I got the same thing. It went on for a few hours. This morning OK again.

Checked again just now. No problem currently.
