I was searching through a store today and suddenly lost all ability to see any
items on any store. I have done the following to try and resolve:

Cleared Cache
Used multiple browsers
Rebooted computer
Tried incognito mode
Tried different computers on my network.

It is almost like I am banned for some reason but all I get is the following:

Yikes! This store does not have any matches.

That being said I have checked the filters and nothing is in the field. I also
tried adding something into the field to try and resolve it and nothing.

Maybe this?:

"Have you browsed many store pages today? There is an unspecified limit to the
number of pages you can visit on a day. If you have passed this limit, all stores
appear empty. Your counter will reset within 24 hours. Try again tomorrow and
you'll be fine."

I mean what is the limit because it seems kinda low if I can't browse a full
store due to it having too many items.

Yeah, that is the most likely culprit. Although it seems weird to me that the
issue persists across different computers—if I understand correctly, your browsing
traffic is tied to your IP address, which is unique to your device, even if there
are other devices on the same network.

Then, there's always that tiny chance that the seller just happened to delete
everything from their store all at once while you were browsing.

No, the IP is given by your Internet Provider to your box, which then gives
net access to all apparels behind it (through LAN, Wifi, whatever).

But from the outside, all apparels have the same IP, the one of your box.

In short, this is why: "Tried different computers on my network." doesn't
work either.

One way could be to reboot the box, maybe/often the IP will change (if not fixed).

Thanks for the explanation, that makes a lot of sense. It could also have something
to do with the browser, I think there was one person that was experiencing the
same thing but when they opened BrickLink in a different browser it went away.

It could only depends of the Browser if someone uses a newly installed one (cache
is empty) or set up a no-cache somewhere (complicated).

See what OP wrote:

Cleared Cache
Used multiple browsers
Rebooted computer
Tried incognito mode
Tried different computers on my network.


Because the cache is your friend here, for a 50 lots page, one or a couple queries
if the pictures are in cache, if not, 10 times more...

So an empty cache is worse, or trying another browser with which you never went
on BrickLink.

Bye I'm off.

Actually, there’s more and more sharing¹ with IPv4 because IPv4 addresses are
depleted and people (mostly ISPs) prefer finding ways to continue using IPv4
than going IPv6.

¹ Sharing: 2 or 4 (or more?) clients get the same IPv4 address.  It’s possible
because each address has 65535 ports and a ‘normal’ user only uses a couple dozens
together at most.


And BL should enter the 21st century and get IPv6 addresses….

Nothing that involves adjustments on your end though. An explanation was given
that I don't recall concisely (as it didn't concern me and given human
nature) what it was beyond something with browsing limitations
