404 error

[Core]

Sometimes when I click on "Mark Board As Read" at the bottom of the page, I get a white page saying "404 Not Found". It's not a big issue since the posts are marked as read anyway, and it doesn't happen every time, but it's odd.

[Blue Blood]

I've never used that function before. But I just tried it, and got the 404 message on my first go. FYI, I'm only posting this to clarify that it's not a porblem only Core is having.

I can't reproduce this myself. What URL is in the location bar when the 404 appears?

[Blue Blood]

Second-time lucky! I got it again.

The URL:

http://www.sonicstad...52ee2b6b57f6bbd

EDIT: It's happening every time for me. And this is using the latest version of Firefox. However, it's all fine and dandy in the latest version of Chrome.

[Core]

For me the URL is:

http://www.sonicstad...309e403b90c5e14

[bmn]

Removed the long string of characters from the end of the URLs. They could potentially be used to make you do evil things (probably not, but best not to risk it).

I'm looking into it, but I'm not sure I'll find an answer as I can't think of a logical reason why the server would be sending out 404s with that address. If PHP failed out it'd send a 500, if PHP wasn't available it'd be a 403...

Are you using any addons/extensions?

[Tornado]

The same things been happening to me with increasing regularity (the first few times it worked fine, now it happens all the time). I don't think its an add-ons problem because it happens on the computers at school as well; which use bone-stock copies of Firefox.

Yeah, I'm getting this error too.

[bmn]

OK, I am utterly incapable of reproducing this. Can someone with this problem test it out using the Firebug extension for Firefox?

• Open Firebug (F12).
• Click the arrow on the Net tab and select Enable.
• Make sure the HTML option is selected underneath.
• Click the "Mark all posts as read" link and wait for it to finish loading.
• Click the + arrow on any lines that appear in the console, and copy and paste all of the contents in the Header tab (it should already be open) into a new post.

What you should be getting with a working function is two lines: "302 Moved Temporarily" for /index.php?app=forums&etc..., and "200 OK" for /index

I'm still somewhat lost (that was a "404 Not Found" for /index.php?huge_query_string, yeah?), so I decided to just play around a bit.

Current settings are a somewhat lamer redirect that makes a white page visible for a short time. I don't like it, you probably won't like it, but it might just fix this problem.

So I just tried it again after you said you might have fixed it.

Just to clarify...

It's been 2 days since you posted that, and Still nothing has changed.

If I click the link, it still takes me to a 404 page... Hitting back on my Browser and Refreshing the page at least clears the forums, but...that sucks.

Cool, Problem solved just as good as new.

Interestingly enough, the 404 doesn't happen if you use the tool for the individual forums.
