Bad Request

So, I whizz through the forum when I log in - trying to sort out the inevitable wheat from the chaff; opening new tabs for every thread and post that looks interesting. I then start to visit them on by one and they all say this: 

"Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit". 

Never had this anywhere else (like so many other things);  is this another spam protection thing??

This issue is usually caused by corrupt cookies. Try clearing your browser cache, and don't open so many tabs at once if that's what's causing the issue. 

You can clear your browser cookies like this: 

Chrome: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop

Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge-63947406-40ac-c3b8-57b9-2a946a29ae09

Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox

Remember that clearing all your cookies can delete auto-filled forms and log you out from services, so you might have to log back in to sites like Fiverr, Facebook and so on. 

Hope this helps!
