No progress, since I can't reproduce it, and the error messages one gets from browsers are usually completely worthless.

Is there anyone out there who gets this problem on ONE computer or browser, but not on another? (such as work vs. home, mac vs. pc, opera vs. firefox?)

And for anyone else, if you're getting the bug, can you report in this thread which browser, version, and OS you're using? 

on top of IE 5.5 running Win95 OSR2. This used to work before, but I didn't notice when it stopped working. I recall Mike W reporting issues when my worked at the time. 

noted that I can d/l those pages (with GetRight) and view them locally without any problem. 

something with RSS? I see that e.g. the main page and this page don't have that, but at least the view_all_news page has it. And I believe RSS was a recent change at Func_. 

Using firefox 2.0.0.3, can load both pages while at home, but cannot load them while at uni(using the same laptop and browser). I remember getting a university service error page complaining about some message being too long. Unfortunately I'm at home at the moment so I can't reproduce the error message or remember the exact phrasing. 

the news archive and discussion archive don't have RSS feed links on them. So I don't think that's the cause. 

since your message seems to be about page size, could you try loading the entire GA thread or similar large thread? Just to see if they fail also? 

I like this article because it was written by a smartass:

It is exactly what I experimented: See post #1077

:P 

I have just opened the news archive on my mobile phone. Using opera and umts access :P
I have also tried at home and at work on laptop and pc and on 3 different browsers. Everything works for me. 

... it comes from network administrator access restriction rules: if the loading page is to large according to administrator rules, then you are not allowed to view it... At home I don't have this issue cause there are no restriction...
In anyway I will ask my network administrator to confirm... 

ERROR: Error message number 42

wtf? I get this error when I try to post in MadFox's new map thread 

is it possible your IP address changed between viewing the loading the thread, and submitting your post?

Becuase that's what that error means (i made it sound cryptic to give spambot writers less information.) 

is it possible your IP address changed between viewing the loading the thread, and submitting your post?

I meant to say: is it possible your IP address changed between loading the thread, and submitting your post? 

wow, how that can be? I don't use any hiding IP programs 

I assumed that it wasn't possible unless you were a spambot.

But, maybe somehow your dynamic IP changed and your browser cached the page so when you posted a comment, it was submitting an outdated form (with the wrong IP hash in it.) That shouldn't be possible becuase the pages on this site should never be cached (they are set to expire immediately.)

Does any of this sound possible? Or maybe a web proxy that cached a page when it shouldn't have? Or something?

If this happens much, I guess I'd need to remove the IP address requirement. 

Hasn't worked for me since the change to a new host.

Works in Firefox, but not in IE. The only webpage I attempt to visit that doesn't work...

Errr... 

So why is it a problem that it doesn't work in IE? 

What the hell? Title can be empty? 

Now I'm back in uni, here's the error message I get from clicking on view all threads:

" * The request or reply is too large.

If you are making a POST or PUT request, then your request body (the thing you are trying to upload) is too large. If you are making a GET request, then the reply body (what you are trying to download) is too large. These limits have been established by the Internet Service Provider who operates this cache. Please contact them directly if you feel this is an error. " 

So i finally was able to reproduce it. For me, Firefox works just fine. I thought I'd try IE to see what happened.

Logged out: page loads
Logged in: "Can not find server or DNS error" (error message is fucking useless of course)

Also, it seems that all complaints from other people have either said it was an IE problem, or didn't mention the browser. Is it correct to say that everyone who has this problem is using IE? 

Using latest official firefox client, but it seems to be a problem with the proxy here. 

beneath GreenBrowser. 

I just got these messages on top of each page
