Hi all..please help me..since today..I am unable to view the theme download site. I am getting a message saying"you have been banned from the symbian theme, therefore you can not upload or download"..please help me.

Rafe's right. You'll have tried to upload a mango theme, or persisted on uploading adult content themes/wallpapers/oplogos in a non-adult area.

Speaking of Symbian Themes, Rafe, I urgently need to contact you regarding bandwidth. Please get in touch ASAP (I would e-mail you but my POP3 is acting up - again).

Thank you for your replies..I assure you that I have not tried at all to upload anything..cause I don't know how to upload themes and never experianced it..please assist me in getting back to that site..I request you ..please

The only way to get banned is by uploading. It's impossible to be banned from purely downloading.

I assure you that I have not uploaded anything..i assume that a hacker could have done that...and i assure you that I even don't know how to creat or upload a theme and have never experianced it before...

I know request the moderator or anyone to help me and find me a solution to be removed from banned..cause I have uploaded nothing...so please help me and find me a way to get again to my favourite site please....please..help me..please

As Elton correctly said, I own Symbian Themes.

I created the site in its entirety - that includes the banning mechanism. Therefore I know 100% that you cannot be banned by just downloading only. There's no code to do that.

As for a hacker - again, impossible. The site doesn't use a user account system.

Also, there's little point Private Messaging me... I can't unban you - it's a one-way system.

I am really surprised my friend.....I am sure something happened without my knowledge....I can't beleive that I will no longer be able to view your site..please do something..please help me..find any solution for me please.

I can't do anything, I'm sorry. You, or somebody using your PC (either authorised or unauthorised) uploaded a pay theme or adult content into a non-adult area. Therefore your PC has been banned.

I think this thread's now run its course. Time for the padlock.
