400 Request Header or Cookie message

**tsunamiSD** · February 8th, 2018, 09:16 PM

This afternoon I've been getting a lot of the below when I try to access some parts of VEF, haven't had it happen anywhere else I've logged in. After repeated attempts, I do eventually get through to the section or thread or post that I'm trying to reach. If it matters, I use Firefox. Also, part of the time that I click on the 'thanks' button I get a white square pop up with lines of HTML code with the same message embedded in it. I also get it when I do a post myself (it happened trying to post this, in fact.)

400 Bad Request

It appears that it was happening at another forum that we share servers with too. So far it appears that they fixed the issue.

I've been having the problem for three days now and it's still happening this morning at 0830 GMT.

I have the exact same problem.

**snootsir** · February 9th, 2018, 11:04 AM

Had the same problem for the last three days

**tsunamiSD** · February 9th, 2018, 11:16 AM

It is still happening with me this morning, about two of every three clicks now...

**tsunamiSD** · February 9th, 2018, 08:44 PM

This afternoon, didn't have it happen at all...

**tsunamiSD** · February 10th, 2018, 08:32 PM

Problem has resurfaced, both this morning or this afternoon. Not quite as often (maybe 1 in every 3 attempts to do something.)

Have been getting these for several days and am still getting them ... in fact I'm getting one repeatedly typing this post.
