Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted February 23, 2021 I’ve had that problem a couple of times - though only on apple devices that have done their latest updates. Is a faff to clear the cache (may need to do pinkun and archant) but seems to work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Recently (separate from this current problem) when I have tried to access the forum on my ipad I have got the following error message: 'Size of request header field exceeds server limit' Does this make sense and if so what can I do about it?! This cropped up when new cookie permission software was added to our sites - the PinkUn forum didn't take it as well as our other sites. Clearing your history in Settngs - Safari will sort it.

Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted February 23, 2021 The messageboard reliability is a total joke. I appreciate it's not an Archant priority but it's incredibly frustrating for it to be unavailable for the entire Saturday evening and Sunday/Monday after a Norwich game.

Basically it's trying to store a cookie-file that's too large. You can get around it by clearing your cache - assuming you're using Safari on your iPad - Open the Settings app, go to Safari, and then choose "clear history and website data". Note you'll lose your browsing history.. That has worked for me, thank you 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Curandero 1 Posted February 23, 2021 Hi! I can't enter the forums. It gives me the "bad request" text when I try to enter the forum section. But if I clear my browsing history and cookies, it allows me to enter with no problems, but when I try to enter later I have to clear the history again. I only have these problems with my phone, I live in Finland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

City 2nd 191 Posted February 23, 2021 The EDP, EEN, and PINK UN web sites are a total disaster of Archant, whomever are their IT experts and web design staff need to be sacked. This is a recurring problem they do not seem to get on topology at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rock bus 851 Posted February 25, 2021 Only problem with clearing history on iphone/ipad solution is that it wipes all your log ins to sites so is a real pain (also the problem seems to soon come back 🤬) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
