I can't use MN on Safari

SoupDragon · 15/08/2020 11:44

Yesterday I started getting an error whenever I click on a thread. All other websites work just fine and I can Use MN via Chrome. I just get the error message "400 Bad request Your browser sent an invalid request."

Clearly I am the only one having this problem given there are no other complaints!

I am on an iPad, desktop site, and have just updated to the very Latest iOS in an attempt to fix it.

I’m posting this on Safari as we speak, on iPhone. Not had any issues. I’m on iOS 13.5 I think?!

PuppyMonkey · 15/08/2020 11:47

(Have you tried turning it off then on again?)

I have had the opposite. I get that message when using chrome.

TheFlyingAspidistra · 15/08/2020 13:20

Only since this morning.

I'm on Safari; I'd be delighted if it stops working and I can find another means of procrastination elsewhere.

Ha I thought you were on a safari holiday and felt very jealous!

For me, that method is Chrome.

For TheFlyingAspidistra, probably Safari 😂

I've got it too. Safari and I'm on version 13.6

LittleMissRedHat · 15/08/2020 14:12

I get the same on Chrome, posting on the app on my phone and I HATE it, far too small for me to squint at comfortably. It started last night.

boniobiscuit · 15/08/2020 14:56

I keep getting a 404 on Firefox, but fine on Chrome Confused

alwaysadreamer · 15/08/2020 17:38

Im having the same problem on chrome but safari or incognito on chrome are working fine Confused

BSJohnson · 15/08/2020 18:05

Also having the same 400 error when on Safari.

Jbck · 15/08/2020 22:22

Just spotted this, I started the same thread last night on chat and today on her as I couldnt see anything on Twitter or Google. I don't normally use the App which Im doing now. Nothing from HQ or tech team?

SoupDragon · 15/08/2020 22:46

No.

Funny how

...they've commented on the 2 other threads but not this one though.

I won't take it personally.

I had this problem yesterday. Desktop site, Chrome. I tried clearing my cache and it seems to have done the trick. (or maybe just coincidence!) Worth a try anyway.

Jbck · 16/08/2020 09:11

Still having the same issue, works in Incognito but have to login constantly so PITA. I got the desktop site on phone but sooooo many ads and too small for more than a quick browse.

Getting the recipe video all the time too. 😤

Jbck · 16/08/2020 09:18

Resorted to clearing history/cache, was resisting as I always have about 400 tabs open with all sorts of sites but it appears to have worked.

OllysArmy · 16/08/2020 09:27

Not had a problem in past 24 hours on Safari, but if I did first I would try a hard reload and then clearing my cache would be the obvious next step to take.

Tesco on the other hand was very glitchy yesterday.

Crocky · 16/08/2020 09:34

I had to clear history to get it to work.
The mobile site option disappeared a few days ago, which is really annoying.

SoupDragon · 16/08/2020 09:47

Cal earring history did indeed work.

They are looking at reinstating the desktop/mobile site button - I get the Impression they didn't think anyone would notice it had gone or something.

Clearing.
