400 Bad Request

85 replies

FreezerBird · 21/12/2020 22:22

I'm getting this message constantly on Mumsnet over the last couple of days.

I can generally click from active onto the first page of a thread (but not always) but then clicking 'next' to get to page two is, the majority of the time, met with a blank white screen with the text.:
"400 Bad Request
Your browser made an invalid request"

This is only happening on Mumsnet.

I'm using the ecosia app on Android. Will clear cache and see if that helps.

It never does. Just means you have to sign in again and untick all the boxes.

purpleme12 · 24/01/2021 10:34

I've cleared it. Someone on this thread told me how

It hasn't rectified it

@purpleme12

You said to me earlier to clear cache and I replied saying how do I do that but no one's answered about this? If this is really the answer to this then I'd like to do it
If you don't know how to clear your cache, you can find instructions on how to do it here. Flowers

I got the 400 request error too again a couple of days ago

I wasn't actually expecting anything to be fixed to be honest as per my comments it's intermittent and been going on for ages

Maybe to much traffic here!

Here we go again...

Can't screenshot properly on this device but details are below. Using Chrome at the moment.

Ok I've worked out what you mean
I did it the 2nd way you said (although on mine you swipe up to get to settings)
Yes I was a bit confused I thought you were talking about the Mumsnet app

Anyway I've pressed clear cache now so I guess we'll see what happens

Here's the 3 lines

@purpleme12

I don't have 3 lines on the bottom There's 3 lines on the top right but when I look in there there's no Chrome icon and none of the other things you mentioned I don't use the app (is the way you're describing for if you use the app?)
How do you use Chrome if you don't use an app for it? I'm talking about the Chrome browser app, not MN app. Smile
Lougle · 16/01/2021 23:16

Ok, an easier way:

Swipe down from the top of your screen:
Settings (cog)>apps>Chrome>storage>clear cache (brush icon bottom right).

purpleme12 · 16/01/2021 22:58

(but it is an android mobile)

If you're using an Android mobile, then open Chrome, tap your menu key (3 lines on the bottom left), and tap the Chrome icon at the top of the app. A menu will appear. Tap "app info". Once the app info appears, tap "storage". On the bottom right hand side, there is 'clear cache.' Tap that.

@FlissMumsnet

Hi SlopesOff,

Thanks for letting us know - we're sorry this is still happening.
Would you tell us if you're using Chrome? Firefox would appear to be a good alternative and we're interested to know if it resolves the issue for you.

Give us a nod when you can

@FlissMumsnet

I use Chrome but nothing on earth will get me to use Firefox again. I also use Brave but wasn't using it last night and I just gave up and came back today so wasn't that bothered. If it happens again I will try Brave, if it will let me, it complains a bit about all the ads.

I had it last night, on a long thread, page wouldn't load and then timed out with the message, after a few attempts I gave up. Other sites were working fine. I didn't get a screen shot this time.

middleager · 16/01/2021 09:36

Ah thanks. I did wonder what had happened last night!

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 16/01/2021 09:32

@OhYouBadBadKitten last night there was a network failure at our data centre. (I think this means an internet hamster came off its wheel.) The engineers fixed it overnight and the site was back up around 3 am.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 16/01/2021 08:30

What happened last night? It was out for aaaaages.

purpleme12 · 15/01/2021 21:17

How do i do this?

soniamumsnet · 15/01/2021 09:37

Hi @purpleme12 just dropping by to say that if this happens again, please could you clear the cache as this should resolve the issue? Flowers

purpleme12 · 14/01/2021 15:40

I used my laptop to post on here as it only happens on my mobile

purpleme12 · 14/01/2021 15:40

Happening again...
As i said, it doesn't go away it happens on and off since september
i have trouble believing something's been done about this bearing this in mind

Thanks for this update @purpleme12

We'll certainly keep an eye on this to prevent any future occurrences. Flowers
