error 400

[VirtualLarry]

I was getting repeated error 400 pages when I tried to browse the forum.

Which was wierd, since I was browsing it today from another location.

But on my main computer, I had to clear my cookies and re-login.

Now I can browse again.

I'm getting that from Dolphin on my phone (trying the full site, though), but connect just fine using stock Android browser.

True that....get something worse with Firefox, while Opera is working...sorta.

What I get with Firefox:



<?php

require("config.redirect.php");

if (!array_key_exists('FTVAR_SUBCAT',$_REQUEST)) {
@header("Location:index.php");
exit();
}

$id = $_REQUEST['FTVAR_SUBCAT'];

if (is_numeric($id) && $id > 0) {
$db = mysql_connect($dbserver,$dbuser,$dbpw);
if ($db) {
if (mysql_select_db($dbname)) {
$result = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT forumid FROM vb_forum WHERE importforumid = '$id'"));
if ($result) {
@header("Location:forumdisplay.php?f=" . $result["forumid"]);
exit();
}
}
}
}

@header("Location:index.php");

?>

That's the re-curing theme and must be the root cause.

I also access the site at three main locations with the same laptop and at each place the site acts differently and comes up different.

Maybe a server not happy with multiple DNS?

Happened to me too, cleared the cookies and it's fine.

I thought anandtech was down for the last week, but I checked on my Mac and it appeared to be working fine in Safari. Removed all anandtech related cookies in Firefox and everything seems to working.

If my google-fu is strong (yeah right), there may be a server-side tweak that could help. I've been getting the issue today too...

Just got an nginx error 502 - bad gateway page, what does that mean?

I have been getting the 400 error also. Started a few days ago.

AT, DT, and forums all had IP changes when they moved a week ago. Please flush your DNS caches to resolve these errors (i.e. clear your browser cache AND reboot your computer - both are required in some cases).

Getting error 400 again. Seems to happen pretty much weekly.

I don't remember ever getting these errors before. Is it something with Firefox/Waterfox 9.0, or is it something that changed with the forums?

It certainly is annoying.

I'd like to echo this for knowledge sake. The site has been down (not including the early AM maintenance) almost all day today. I feel like it is just me, but it's nice to see others voicing the same experience. It seems like the site is down constantly, at least once a week, with an array of errors.
