    Difficulty using forum

    I’ve been experiencing problems with the forum. The problems I’m experiencing appear to be related to http requests being corrupted…
    I’m completely unable to use the forum in chrome (it can’t load) and now in edge, I can’t post. This question was written in iOS safari

    Can you screenshot any error messages AND have you Googled the heck out of the error message?

    I'm wondering if Cloudflare is adding a header that's exceeding the server's maximum length constraint. Could you do this:
    1. Open up the developer tools (CTRL + SHIFT + I -or- F12)
    2. Go to the Network tab
    3. Check the Preserve Log option (towards the top of the tab)
    4. Try to make a post
    5. Right-click the request that was attempted
    6. Select Copy > Copy as cURL
    7. Paste it here


    You can redact the vb_password, vb_sessionhash, and securitytoken but be sure to tell us what length of each one is before redaction.

    My guess is that either the report-to or cookie is too long for the server to handle.
