Chrome/Android 400 Bad Request

[Chanjer]

Periodically getting a 400 Bad Request error message when trying to connect through Chrome/ Android 11/Pixel 3XL which is fully updated

It also often displays the same error when clicking through from Gmail which launches with the default browser

I am able to connect using Opera so I guess the issue is entirely with my phone but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to be able to fix it.

Thank you

When I say periodically it can last for a day or 2 and then be fine for a while and then go weird again

This is a recurring error

Hi @Chanjer thanks for flagging this. We'll take a look and let you know if we come up with any suggestions.

Cool thank you 👍

I've also had this problem! I thiught it was threads being deleted then realised it was a bigger issue.

Thanks @MaizeBlouse - sorry to hear you're also experiencing this problem. Thanks for providing the extra details - we're still looking into this issue but will hopefully be back soon with an update.

It's currently working through both methods I mentioned earlier (Chrome and clicking through from Gmail)

I seem to think it started at around the time there was lots of cloudflare redirects

I've previously tried deleting cookies related to the site and it didn't fix it

They you for looking into it

Thank you even

It's intermittent

I can access MN on my phone but not on my laptop. Two days now and quite a few weekends recently

Hi @Chanjer just dropping in to see if this is still an issue please? If you were clicking a link from an email, it would really help if you can you let us know the URL of the link you're clicking?

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this for you!

I am trying to use Chrome on my laptop. It dropped out again last night. Thanks.

Still happening sporadically for me via Samsung Internet app. Works fine with the same device on Google chrome.

I just tried clicking through from Gmail to this thread and it gave me this result (see attached image)

I haven't had the problem in Chrome itself since I started this thread

I had to open the thread in Chrome to copy the URL

I think this is exactly the same link but this is copied from Gmail "share" button

This time the page is initially loading but then going to the error page

When the problem was occurring in Chrome the 400 error wasn't a black screen it looked like it was in MN colours. Arrive the time this was happening I was also getting the Oops! MN branded page periodically

This page loads from Gmail with no issues.

Something tells me it's related to the page count on the thread but that's just a guess from me

Over the last few days the site has generally been sluggish, pages slow to load and "post" button being unresponsive sometimes, but when you went back and loaded the page again it had actually posted. I thought this was probably due to my mobile connection but once again I tried it in opera and it was faster and the "post" button worked first time, also switching to a fast WiFi connection didn't make any difference to the page loading time in Chrome

Thanks for this information @Chanjer. We're taking a look into this.

7 pager which is the shortest thread I've noticed it on, this is when clicking through from Gmail

I haven't had any problems in Chrome for ages now

With the above thread it loads page 1 but then when it tries to forward to whatever page its forwarding to it gives me the attached image
