Did I get BANNED from my own subscriptions PAGE!?!?!? And Why? This needs fixed or explained, preferably both! Thanks:-)

GF



FINAL UPDATE! The issue should be resolved now. :)


************************************************** ***************


UPDATE BY TK: This issue is known. Nobody banned you, it's some kind of glitch. Sarah's been trying to fix it but so far no luck. Please just be patient and hope she can figure it out soon.


New update: there doesn't appear to be a way to fix this. Sorry.


************************************************** ***************

Perhaps you made the sub page angry.

I'm having this problem, too. I got an email saying there was a new post on a thread I subscribed to, and when I logged in to unsubscribe from the thread I got this message:


You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never

I'm assuming this is the case for everyone. Hopefully, it'll get fixed soon. I'd like to stop the emails.

EDIT: Other users are saying they're not getting emails about new posts in their subscribed threads in the first place. Could be related.

link to the thread?

The thread I can't unsubscribe from is this one (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showthread.php?p=1335478), although I'm trying the "unsubscribe" button on other threads and getting the same message every time.

I get the same message when I go to my User CP and click on "List Subscriptions," too.

EDIT: Looks like it's everyone. Cuckoo (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showpost.php?p=1336378&postcount=10055) and Shoelace (http://forums.ffshrine.org/showpost.php?p=1336394&postcount=10).

Actually i'm having this problem as well, and i've only subscribed to my own thread and a thread i made in the requests forum almost a year ago.

Weird, everything's working okay for me. Maybe it's just one of those random glitches that'll go away on its own? Probably worth looking into though if it hasn't cleared up within a day or so.





Auron: There is a saying: "Hurry up and wait." It means, prepare quickly so you're ready for whatever comes next.
Tidus: Sounds like something an old man would say.

Here is a screeny I got it just now:

EMPTY

I need my email notifications ;_;

i get the same problem too...:)....

Same here.....

I'm having this problem, too. I got an email saying there was a new post on a thread I subscribed to, and when I logged in to unsubscribe from the thread I got this message:

I tried to unsubscribe to a thread and got the same message. Thread here. (Thread 69744)

Agent--is it possible you're not having the problem because you're a moderator?

I don't have it either, though, perhaps it has to do with people who frequent the music forums. Maybe one of the databases/tables/etc. for subscription info regarding them is screwy?

Neg, it doesn't affect mods.

I see.

It's affecting me and i'm a mod.

Alright, we're back to my theory, now ;)

Probably a server error.

I was banned too

wtf

all I did was bump 2 of my own threads after an entire month, jesus

Save me from the bandemonium T_T

Alright, we're back to my theory, now ;)

Neg to see it go to your User CP and press the view all subscription.

That's probably what he did. That's exactly what I did, but it's definitely not affecting me-- I'm not getting that message.




Rikku: It's not stopping, is it?
Auron: Don't tell me you were hoping it would. ... Fine. Stay here.
Rikku: All right, already. But! You didn't have to say it like that, you know! You could be more comforting or something! You know, try to cheer me up? You just don't get me at all, do you? Hey! Are you listening?

Ah, ok.

Not affecting me.

I got that message too and tried to checked all of the threads I subscribed too and I still get that message :(

Whenever I try to go into one of the tabs under 'Subscribed Threads' bar in the control panel, I get this message:


"You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never"


What's up with that? I've never done anything wrong. Hell, I hardly even touch actually chat/talk on the forums. the last time I did, I was asking if someone knew of a game that I only remember slightly from a long time ago, and last time I checked, that doesn't get you banned.

Also, that's the only part of the forums that does that.

You didn't get banned. Everybody's experiencing it: Thread 69879

Ah, I see. thanks for the info.

No problem.

I too, am getting that message.

I guess that explains why I'm no longer receiving email notifications.

Yeah. That's something Jessie, Cuckoo, and a couple of others have mentioned, too.

Ah, so it has already been posted. Great. I look forward to a resolve.

Got the same note, good one more people have this.
Weird.

Same. It shocked me because at first I thought I had been banned. I hope it's fixed soon.

i need someone who's having this problem to PM me in the chat so i can troubleshoot ;(

Yeah, me too. I just tried to sub to my thread, and it gave the same message. Oh well, guess I'll just have to check in more often... :/

Happening to me as well.

i went to look at the threads i've subscribed to and it said i was banned and for no reason. obviously this is not true as i'm still here.

sorry if you already know about this, but just a heads up.

Same. It shocked me because at first I thought I had been banned. I hope it's fixed soon.

I had the same shock lol!

I hope this is fixed soon as well.

Oh god! Seems everybody is having the same problem!
I was scared that i was actually banned, but still able to do things...

Hmm same thing has happened to me lol...

yeah I'm having same problem. not getting any email notifications anymore

Whew nice to see this is a known bug.

I freaked out too because I rarely talk, when I do its usually to ask for help finding music, or asking if anyone has it, and thats about it. Aside from thanking people as well when I receive stuff.

And I was just wondering why no emails xD

Same S***. Please update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the same thing. I don't get it. Hope this gets solved.

is this working for anyone now?

is this working for anyone now?

Alas...no. :(

still got the banned message...:(..:sad:...

Ditto.

Same here...

Banned... through and through.

ARRRRGH!! It's STILL not working for me <:[

]"You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never"

Same here, and I'm not getting any email notifications anymore too.

At least I'm not the only one who got this "banned". Are the mods looking into this?

Only someone with Admin status can look into it. Us mods don't have any power to get into sections that would allow us to examine what would be causing something like that.

I'm in the same situation, but hey...worst thing is you can't see your subscriptions...big deal. the only problem was the terror that I experienced while thinking i had done something bad enough to get banned...

Welln back to ye good ol' search option for me ! ^_^

is it working now?

I'm still getting the banned message.

As am I.

Still 'banned'.

now?

Banned

now?

Still banned

In my honest opinion it does not bother me whatsoever.

The only thing that bothers me about it is i'm not getting my emails.

I feel bad, because I never look at my subscriptions, except to delete them every once in a while, and I don't have email notification turned on, yet mine works and yours doesn't :(

My email notification has always been working. I just get that banned message when I go to my subscriptions and like I said It doesn't bother me at all.

Big fat 'banned' still lingers over my subscriptions.

Yep.

still banned...:(....

I think the name of this thread should be changed, many people wouldn't think to look in here about the subscriptions problem and keep making new threads about it.

I agree, please change the thread title.

Only someone with Admin status can look into it. Us mods don't have any power to get into sections that would allow us to examine what would be causing something like that.

Admins can't do anything either. Pretty much only Sarah can.

Admins can't do anything either. Pretty much only Sarah can.

If Sarah can only do it, how long do you think it'll take?

o.o

Well at least in my user CP it still pull sup threads that were updated recently.
At least I can see those >.o thank god I had a ton of links in my sig and bookmarked.

Well it's not like anyone uses subscription pages. At least now I know what the ban message looks like for this forum.

If Sarah can only do it, how long do you think it'll take?

I have no idea, I don't even know what the problem is and I don't know if Sarah has been able to identify it.

Right now I'm just bookmarking any thread I have even the slightest interest in. If you can't find a particular thread look in your browser history or if you've posted in it go to your CP and look in your previous posts.

Thank goodness this is already stated, I was going crazy for a second wondering what in the world did I do to be banned.

Right now I'm just bookmarking any thread I have even the slightest interest in. If you can't find a particular thread look in your browser history or if you've posted in it go to your CP and look in your previous posts.

Yeah I'm bookmarking my threads too but it sucks that I lost all the threads i subscribed to lol.

until when i still got the banned message??

i got the same problem also

Just checked. I guess you can all add me to the list of casualties affected by this mass bannage.

should I make a new account???

Not unless you really can't stand not being able to view your subscriptions. I mean, it's not like it's a strike against you or anything, since you're not truly banned...

just to confirm this happend to me, so to all users its not just you its everyone, lol i was abit shocked at first too.

It happened to me, and I thought I got banned after my first post.

I love the new thread title.

Ok, so I didn't go through the entire thread, seeing as it was long. In any case, I had come back after a month-long absence and I was looking around some Toonami threads I ran across. And I tried to subscribe to them and the next thing I know, I get a warning; exactly like Asamiya's screen from page 1 of this thread. I thought, ok, maybe it's because I have two pages of the forums open. So, I closed one and I went back to my original page. Then, I tried to subscribe to the first thread I was at in the first place, and it said the same thing. I was thinking, ouch, because, I don't recall doing anything in the first place (having been gone for a month, what could I have done??). Good thing I started looking around the forums, and noticed this thread was up. I was freaking out because I wanted to email someone, but I couldn't find any "Contacts Us" links anywhere (or maybe I wasn't looking around hard enough). Well, I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm just one of all of those who are affected. I suppose it's not really a big deal, but not being able to subscribe to threads makes it a pain in the ass to go back and look for them. I suppose I could just bookmark them for the time being... Well, I hope you guys can fix the problem and good luck with it. d^.^b This site rocks!




EDIT: Coincidentally, I was at Tom's Toonami Tunes thread, the Toonami Music Archive... Quick shout out to Tom! I love it!

i got banned previously for being someone im not apparently some person started a rumor that i was angelsweetie i didnt pretend to be anyone but me i only had one account just warning u guys if someone sounds like u on the thread but isnt u u can be banned because of the other person im not revealing my previous identity because i dont want to hear the crap again except to say im not angelsweetie

Hey Moltres~

This is an entirely different issue. Has to do with thread subscriptions.

Oye. I thought I was losing my mind. D:

Go into your "User CP" look at your "edit opions" and find the one that says:

"Default Thread Subscription Mode:
When you post a new thread, or reply to a topic, you can choose to automatically add that thread to your list of subscribed threads, with the option to receive email notification of new replies to that thread."
Default Thread Subscription Mode:

Do not subscribe
No email notification
Instant email notification
Daily email notification
Weekly email notification.

Mine's set to Instant E-mail Notification, you should set your's to that as well. This way if you post in a thread or start one you'll already be subscribed to it and will be able to see which ones has been recently added to on the main page of th user cp.

Your welcome, I am pretty happy with how my thread is doing but there's quite a bit of music I'm still hunting for. Hope you enjoy it.

Just add me to the list.

Didn't realize this was a know issue.


Has anyone also had this happen to them with random edits/post openings?

i got banned previously for being someone im not apparently some person started a rumor that i was angelsweetie i didnt pretend to be anyone but me i only had one account just warning u guys if someone sounds like u on the thread but isnt u u can be banned because of the other person im not revealing my previous identity because i dont want to hear the crap again except to say im not angelsweetie

Hello Angel Sweetie.

how have you been?

still into art?

Adding myself to the list hoping/waiting for a fix.

have they fixed this problem yet

I'd also be interested to hear if there's been any progress.

Till I found this thread I thought I was the only one gettin this problem.
Atm I can't unsubscribe from threads, list all subscribed threads and am not getting E-mail notifications.

Oh good, other people have trouble with this. I'm subscribed to all sorts of threads and have NEVER gotten an email notification of a new post. I would love if I did, but I don't...

Ew stil bugged, and no luck? :/ eh I dont mind checking here and looking in my User CP for updates to threads, but, its still a pain in the neck with no email notification

I have the same problem. I rarely use this site unless I'm looking for osts or something. I thought something bad happened to me only. I want to subscribe to stuff. Darn, this sucks

To much entries, the forum is near to explode D:

I was about to PM a mod about it but decided to see there was already a thread. Hail my fellow subscription banned people.
I wanted to check what was the last upload thread I made so I could post the new uploads but I guess I will do it via searching my username.

Great... I accidentally took it seriously, panicked and left a report. Remove it.

I cannot live without the subscriptions feature. Please keep trying to fix it D:

I think the name of this thread should be changed, many people wouldn't think to look in here about the subscriptions problem and keep making new threads about it.

I think this thread should be sticky-ed on every board. I never even thought to look for a thread about it.

Hmmmm, even if i'm a new member of the board, i'm Banned too ... so can i get a number ? :)

Mmm it's working once more .. thanks a lotta

Oops ... Banned once more ....

I think this thread should be sticky-ed on every board. I never even thought to look for a thread about it.
I agree-- why not make it an announcement?

yeah, i'm banned too

*sigh* I don't think this will ever fixed <:\

Not sure if this is the right thread to post in (or if this problem I'm about to address has already been announced/reported)... but I've had a problem with the PM system.

On the link which says:

'You have 64 confirmed and 2 unconfirmed private message receipts.'

I've clicked on that and got the following message:

'You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never'

I'm still unable to post pictures or even links to pictures as I get the 'exceeded quota' message as well.

Could someone let me know what that's all about?

I'm still experiancing the ban...

8-)

cool, its fix'd now!

8-)

cool, its fix'd now!

Not for me.

IT NEVER ENDS!

also yay 8900

My god its been like, 2 months (?) and its still not fixed?
Must be some bad bad thing!

oops, spoke too soon...
i lied. its not fixed
>____________>

*adds self to the list and randomly grafittis the last post*

Helllo Everyone!

Hey jump on the band wagon....... seems to be plenty of room for everyone :p

Seems most of everyone's on it whether they realise it or not!

Glad it is an error. I was just "huh?".

unable to view new posts or search.

i get a database error message.

Already being discussed in this thread (Thread 72988).

server is too busy

So is this still happening for those that are having this problem? The problems with the databases got fixed last night, but this has been going on a lot longer than that. Thought I'd check anyway.

Yep. Still happening.

Ouch. Sorry about that.

Got this and was suddenly worried.

I'm banned in subscriptions same as those people wrote before and I don't know what to do

I'm banned in subscriptions same as those people wrote before and I don't know what to do

There's nothign we can do we're doomed I tell ya, DOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMED.

I hoped that the admin had fixed it with the apparent downtime FFShrine had. No luck, it seems, and so far it remains unfixed.

yep, still unfixed

Sonofa bitch!

Down for almost 2 days and still broken.

:(

Oh, god. I'm so happy. i thought I was banned for breaking some unwritten rule, or something...

So, it's a glitch. Thank god. I was thinking the same thing as Metal Gear Flacid for the past few days...

Yeah, that was weird. I was like "... OK, I'm not active, but I'm sure I didn't piss anyone off to the point where I'd be banned for no reason. :/"

Then I saw this, so yay. I'll just watch the topic by eye then until this is fixed.

Which may take quite sometime... :S

i got the banned message now... :(... and this is my 2nd account... my 1st account also got the banned message too...

what should i do now?? sorry for my bad english...

There's nothing to do but wait for a fix. For the time being, just make it a habit to log on regularly to see if your threads have been updated. It's been over four months already, so I wouldn't expect this to go away anytime soon.

Count me in the support group.

Honestly guys, I have no idea if this is getting fixed. I don't know if Sarah was able to find out what was causing it. I can see if she can provide an update or something.

I wonder if banning and then unbanning a member would fix the problem?

^ Somehow that sounds like a good idea. I could picture that working.... But then again I probably just jinxed that idea and whoever gets the test ban probably wouldn't be able to get unbanned lol

Well, then the test ban should be applied to a test account. Then it doesn't matter.

But the thing is-- the test account would have to be experiencing this particular problem.

It wouldn't take long for the bug to kick in. I think I only had 7 posts when it kicked in for me. It may kick in faster if the test account were to just use the subscribe feature repeatedly.

Well I've had more time being banned than unbanned so I'm used to it. Would be nice to have full function though.

The problem is you don't receive anymore email notification when somebody posting in one of your subscribed topics... >_<

I was band a year ago (I think). Then I was forced wipeout my hard drive and I was able to return and post here. But now like many of the people here I can't check my subscriptions. I don't even recall doing anything that would even warrant a band in the first place.

Having the same problem. In fact, I was just about to post a thread stating the complaint. However, that has already been attained, and apparently there hasn't been any fixes for it.

Oh well.

wow I can't believe there is still the glitch. I guess it probably will just stay like this

Hi.

I�am new here and have the same problem. It seems that the problem is very old.

Why is it not possible to fix it?

Almost sounds like we have to move server or something... :S

I thought we closed last night to fix the bug? Still the same for me.

Hasn't changed for me either. Still banned for eternity, lol

I'm scared. Hold me.

Yes, the problem is still there. Have tried it yesterday and now. No Change.

Same problem here, it just started this morning. I had left the webpage open all night if that is any indicator of what might cause it.

I'm also still experiencing the same problem. And here I hoped that it would actually be fixed.

Same problem here, it just started this morning. I had left the webpage open all night if that is any indicator of what might cause it.

I don't think that would be the problem. Ya see, if you aren't active for awhile the site will automatically log you out, the page might still look the same but if you refresh it'll go to the log in page.

Anyone tell me how to fix it? I come here not a long time.........

There's nothing you can do on your end-- anyone affected by it is basically out of luck until and if the powers-that-be are able to identify and fix the problem.

It seems that now I can no longer even view which subscribed topics have new posts (this comes up whenever you click on User CP).

Really? I can still see it...

Ah, mine went offline for a while.

I think the shrine's been farting all week :/

When I saw the ban message I was like "crap I just joined" but then I saw this thread lol

I am banned too... Is there a fix for this problem or should I make a new acxount (if it'll help?)

I am banned too... Is there a fix for this problem or should I make a new acxount (if it'll help?)

Making another account is not going to help, from what I heard. I'm not sure if it'll ever be fixed. :sad:

Any way around it so I can finally have my thread subscriptions?

There's nothing you can do on your end-- anyone affected by it is basically out of luck until and if the powers-that-be are able to identify and fix the problem.

This is suddenly working for me after never having worked previously. I'm assuming the issue is finally fixed, and if so, thanks Sarah! Can anyone else confirm that this is working or are some still out of luck?

Working for me too! Thanks!!!

OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 It works!!!!






But for how long?......... BumBumBUM!

Yay its working for me too.
Plus I'm gettin e-mail notifications again.
\(^_^)/

Now it's fixed, can somebody tell us how this happened? What caused it?

Confirmed, I found out via email notices!

I thought it would never be fixed. Boy, I'm glad I was wrong. :D

Wow...cool.

Thanks to however it was fixed.

All systems green!

7 months is better than never ... I guess LOL

seems like it's working again, wow gotta say I didn't have any faith on this one.
Maybe these problems would be fixed faster if everybody...DONATED!

This is suddenly working for me after never having worked previously.

working.... yeh

out of nowhere its in my inbox. an overload went straight into spam.

It works! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6aRwky0W5Y)

Probably time to close this thread I guess. Glad this is finally working for everybody!
