I can use all the different forums using my mobile phone and the app.
However, when I use my laptop I get the message:
"Bad Request
Your browser Sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit."
This has just happened today, after changing my password for the site. Any suggestions on clearing the problem?

From memory, I think this could be a cookie value building up - try clearing out those (or just blow your whole browser cache).

These messages have returned on both my laptop and my phone in the last week or so. You can fix it temporarily by `Clearing your Browsing History` but I think Admin has to do something to fix it more permanently.

Agreed!
I`ve had a week or so where things were ok, but now once again the "Bad Request" message has returned.
I can work around it by using a different browser, but a permanent solution is needed.
Admin???

There`s a previous thread on it called `Bad Error Message` which suggests the last problem was in December. Brian got involved and managed to fix it with some help from Milos Drizzle.

I`ve had an idea. I wonder if there are now too many messages in the football forum and I may need to prune.
I`ll think about this before doing the prune.
are you able to view the other forums ok (maybe clear cache again first)

Fortunately I discovered that I could clear the cookies from a single site, rather than deleting the entire browser history and cookies.
So like wee eck I have managed to resolve the problem for the moment by clearing the cookies off the dafc.info site.
Will the problem return? We`ll see.

wee eck, what browser do you use, I`m guessing it is same on different browsers.
what device are you using ?
just checking to see what else could be causing it. I made some settings change the other day, which I thought would help
RMGpar, where are other people saying there is a problem ? they need to contact us even by email to say what issues they have. I obviously have not seen any other requests that there is an issue
