Hi all,

I'm occasionally getting this error trying to post / modify posts:

LainaaBad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I can't seem to find much about what might be wrong. I haven't made any changes to the forum and it's been running fine for a few years.

Check-out your error logs.

Anything weird, there?

I did check the error logs at the time and there was nothing that happened at the same time as the browser error.

Quite often, that error gets displayed when there's a problem with cookies.

Try emptying your browser's cookies and blatt the cache, too, whilst you're at it.

I did try that yesterday and it didn't help. For some insane reason it seems to have stopped now and everything is looking normal again. I tried to save and resave a modified thread and it kept erroring. Then later it just worked fine. I'm defo not captain insane though because a user reported it too and they said it happened in IE, FF and Chrome.

Things go like that, sometimes, ay?

I'll mark this as having been solved, for now.

If you get this going all squiffy, again, just reopen it, OK?
