[NSC] NSC may become unavailable

Bozza said: Because of what - what happens and what are you doing between each attempt to try and resolve it?

I posted the Bad Request msg I get.

After each time I go to settings, privacy and security, clear browser data, cookies and data from other sites.
Then I close tabs and restart browser (Google Chrome, although I've tried Edge too). And I just rebooted too.
Then I can usually get onto the site, maybe click on one thread, but if I try to post it crashes.

I also get this msg:
Oops! We ran into some problems.
Oops! We ran into some problems. Please try again later. More error details may be in the browser console.

I’ve tried to post this message several times over the last couple of days, but it doesn’t work, so I’ve saved it and will keep trying to copy and paste it until it works.

I can access NSC fine through my iPad but like Triggaaars post I simply can’t get NSC to work on my laptop anymore. Work just ain’t the same anymore!

What happens if you try an incognito/private browser window and go to NSC? Does it load? Can you login and navigate about?

Site just reappeared after 3 days of no access and odd messages. I'm sure there was some great advice on this thread, but couldn't get on the site for 3 days to see it!

You've missed some cracking adverts,if your lucky you may get the one that takes over the whole page half way through a good moan up about poxy adverts.

What will people do if they can’t police whether a thread is a duplicate or not for an hour?

Would you call this a duplicate post?

Not just you, happens to me too

It looks like it's currently working (since last night). I've done nothing different to fix it. If it goes again, I will try incognito to see if it make a difference.

When it's not working and I clear data, I can log on to NSC and possibly click on one thread, but that's about it before it fails again.

Well, that's good news.

Yesterday I asked NSC's hosting company to up a server parameter (in Apache for the technically interested) that *may* have fixed things from the server side, which they did.

When you posted last night, I thought I may as well try restarting all of NSC's web services, just in case that was needed to pick up the revised parameter.

So putting 2 and 2 together, I'm hoping it's not just a coincidence, and the parameter change has done the trick and you're OK from now on.

Strangely that happens to me when I use RM track n trace .... infuriating!

If it's not working (I got intermittent access on Chrome and Firefox, which then tripped back to the error message), refer back to Bozza's message in post 145, and just try that again. I did it and got as far as stage 6, but it transpired I'd started from the wrong place. It worked a treat when I did start from the right place. Many thanks for spending the time helping us poor helpless techno-idiots Bozza.

Still can’t access despite my efforts to do so. Reloaded NSC and nothing. Bad message still persists. Not great Bozza!

I’m gonna give up trying to get NSC on my Mac until all the glitches have been fixed….oh and no criticism of you Bozza, you do a great job under trying circumstances and I appreciate it massively…the current hiatus just underscores how dependent we (I) are on NSC!

Repeated requests for cookies on every page load for me at the moment on chrome mobile, anyone else?

Seven days away,was it a ban.

I have no idea what's fixed it, but something has. Having done nothing to fix it my end, the site is now also working on my chromebook.

@Bozza f*** me this is full screen on mobile!

Thanks Bozza, it worked. Seemed like work was blocking too given our ramping up with cyber security. Eventually got round that bit. I can now focus on NSC and not work.
