Change the forum's Cloudfront blocking limit

When I go through the “Recently active” link and start opening all the posts I have not yet seen I get to around 25-30 and suddenly pages stop opening and I get a Cloudfront “blocked” message instead.

 

If I go do something else for a couple minutes I can return and reload the blocked pages with no problem, well unless there too many.

Bumping the limit to 50 wouldn’t impact the forum’s security much and would be far less hassle for me.

Hey @Stanley_4, thank you for the post!

Can I ask you for a screenshot when you see the message?

This might be out of our hands, but we can certainly check with Gainsight.

Got hit several times today as I was a lot of posts behind. First dropped new-tab was number 60, looks like about a 2 minute time-out to go back to normal operation.
