I keep getting this pop-up message that says, "Hi there! Your IP address has been banned. Please contact blah blah blah." Glitch?

Can you describe when this message is appearing? Maybe post a screenshot? That would be really helpful in tracking this down.
Am I right in understanding that you are not actually having any trouble connecting to the site?

It happened to me as well today. I was browsing Scratch projects, and the same dialog message appeared for me. I've been pretty well behaved on the Scratch website (if I do say so myself) so I don't see why that is.

Here is a screenshot:
It has happened twice now when I click on fg123_tests's HTML test project.

Nope. Just on the HTML_Test project. And I don't have to view any other projects. No matter what, when I click on that project, it gives me the message.

I figured it out. fg123 inserted this:
<font face="Arial">YYA</font><script type="text/javascript">alert("Hi there! Your iP is blocked on the Scratch Server. Contact us. :) Scratch on!");</script><?php echo"DID";?>into the project notes. I had no clue that the project notes supported HTML. You should fix that immediately.

So that's just a joke by fg123.

Ah, yes. It's only a joke. I lol'd a lot when I saw that. It gave me the idea for this:

Correct. Shadow 7283 provided an image of the pop up.

And it was just the same project as Shadow7283 mentioned?

Yep! Someone is just exploiting a glitch to add HTML to project notes. Not very good, in my opinion.

fg123 tried this out..

You can't do it anymore, you should just delete the project.

The matter isn't entirely fixed. Look at this project for an example:

this is where the ID comes in, a unique identifier.
The problem is that if the user does not have javascript enabled your page will be invalid and break.
So we switch to classes.

I somehow agree. I think they should allow some simple HTML codes.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! It isn't harmful!
Sometimes it is.
Though they probably shouldn't of gotten rid of it.
