What Happened?

[Peter Parker]

Yesterday I received error messages when I tried to log in or view a thread. I know I was not alone but the time stamps indicated that others were able to post.

What happened? Can I suggest that when things like this occur the front page contain a warning? will anyone pay attention to that suggestion?

Same here.

I got the Securi timeout message yesterday. But I waited a few minutes and then it worked. Is that the error message you got?

We were traveling yesterday so I didn't know it was happening. And it was only happening in some browsers.

We can't post an announcement about it if we don't know about it.

OK. So what happened. I tried Firefox, Chrome and the new Edge and they al failed. Just trying to understand what happened. Everyone knows I am nosy.

Big cookie or header error

Today I've been getting a 400 error when using my usual browser (Firefox) about "Request header or cookie too large". The offending cookie doesn't appear to be one from www.satelliteguys.us or satelliteguys.us as if I clear all of those, the problem remains. Does anyone have any insight as...

www.satelliteguys.us

Ironically I cannot open that link. Perhaps I am not supposed to know. Are you guys planning a surprise party for me?

Well that is strange. I copied the answer below:

The fix was to add the following to our Nginx config file (Nginx is our Webserver software)

"large_client_header_buffers 4 16k;"

And that solved it.

I got the Securi timeout message yesterday.

I saw that message a few times a while back with the old software. I never saw it again after the XenForo upgrade. [Knocking on wood]
