Anyone else getting this error message? @mulceber

I can be logged in to the forum for a long time, then come back to check posts -- get to the New Posts page, but any post I click serves up this message.

The only way I can get back in is to restart my phone and log back in -- I can't even log out when I start getting the error.

Annoying.

Chandler, maybe clearing cookies and cache [just be aware of how the browser would perform without these] in the used browser can fix this...what browser are you using, any error message number is displayed? I assume it is a browser issue ;)

@Erwin -- this happens on my (Android) phone -- don't log on with my desktop a whole lot. No error number and it looks like a message from the web site.

It clears after I log out and back in -- unfortunately, I have to restart my phone to log out.

FWIW -- it hasn't happened since I brought it up in this thread. Maybe @Nathan Flowers has tweaked something?

Hey Chandler,

Based on your descriptions it looks like your end [browser] issue with cookies or browser cache [or cached data in it]. Restarting would fix temporarily this, but if you face it again, consider clearing cookies via browser settings. All the best!

Don't think so. VLJ was the only site giving me the message and it was only while navigating away from the home page.

FWIW -- I clear cache fairly often and I've only just started seeing this message.

That said -- as mentioned above, I haven't seen it since I reported it.
