Forum error

[alex_ncfc 686]

Anyone else getting this error when trying to get on here? 

If I load the page in incognito mode (Chrome) it loads fine, but not in my normal browser mode, and also the same applies to Chrome on my phone (same result, works in incognito, otherwise not) so it isn't anything to do with my browser set-up on my PC. I also have no extensions loaded.

Just tested and the same thing happens in MS Edge.

Fine here on Chrome.  I see that message a few times a week, but a refresh just gets rid of it and put it down to the servers being a bit ropey.

If incognito mode sorts it out, then you'd have to think it was an issue with extensions or cookies - but if you're seeing it on multiple devices and have no extensions running, god knows.

Does holding shift and hitting the refresh button sort it in your normal browser?  Just thinking that would bypass any cache.

I think that means that you ate too many cookies... And you now need a good purge! 

Hope that helps!

There is a different error I used to get around previously by doing a refresh, can't remember the wording, but this one just gives the above error every time, whether I access it from the drop down address bar when I start typing or from going to pinkun.com and accessing the forum from the top menu bar.

Shift+F5 gives the same result. I just can't understand why it loads fine in Incognito on both Edge and Chrome and also Incognito on both PC and phone. It's not a great workaround as I have to log in each time. 

I just tried it in Internet Explorer for a laugh, it loads fine there!

I believe this is an old error, but can only be solved by clearing your cookies for forum.pinkun.com.

Not sure you can be that selective on mobile Chrome if that's what you're using so you might have to clear the whole cache.

That’s basically twenty years of my IT career right there.

One line of thought would be that you spend too much of your life on this darn board and have better things to do in and with your life! Thus your sub consciousness has cookie stuffed your phone and trying to get your attention elsewhere!
