@Alwaysthesameoldstory thank you for that.
I've cleared cache and images and that seems to have worked.

I was getting this problem a few weeks ago. I followed the MN advice to clear my cache and this worked.
Then yesterday I again couldn't access the MN site at all on Samsung Internet - just getting the 404 error message - but could access it on Chrome . I cleared the cache on Samsung Internet and that worked and everything is ok again, at least for now.

I can't get on MN at all on Chrome. Had to switch to 🦆

Did it start after any particular action you took ?

I don't use the app on my phone so clearing the cache isn't applicable ,is it ?

And I‘ve just seen the thread about clearing the cache for the site, will try that.

Just to clarify, its 400 Bad Request and only a problem when Googling Mumsnet - all other sites working fine.

I think it’s more widespread than that - I just tried opening chat on my iMac desktop and whatever I try to open comes up as a bad gateway. So it’s way more than a single thread. Weirdly, things are working normally on the iPhone.
OS 26.1 and Firefox.

Also getting 400 or 404 error message on android
