    Default to many redirects

    lester i have some forum issues

    recently i started getting "to many redirects " error messages and "try clearing your cookies and browser history" suggestions
    then "this site is unavailable" from this forum only.

    using chrome on all devices

    its now unusable on my phone and android pad , everything else is fine , laptop is now complaining too\

    deleting browser history and cookies works exactly once then fails as per usual next time round

    other browsers seem ok with it

    I use Opera and as far as I know, this is chrome based.

    But did not experienced any access problems.

    Have also a laptop that is using only Chrome. Will test there and report back.

    On my laptop with Chrome there is no issue.

    Maybe Richard you had an update of antivirus or a plug-in of Chrome?

    I ran into this the other day. My provider's DNS was not working. I switched to Google's DNS so I could keep working and got the "too many redirects" message on this site and one other forum only. When the issue was fixed and I switched back to the provider DNS, the issue went away. YMMV

    changing the dns from the router [isp locked in] default will be a total pain the change will not stick.

    DNS of 8.8.8.8 was also problematic. Certainly your choice to give up - but not sure what you want the forum to do to fix a problem basically caused by your personal configuration / gear.

    since its a new "feature" i was hoping that it was an oversight or a cookie issue that lester may have been able to ameliorate
    in some way. it is only affecting this site after all

    I can understand that assumption, but it may not be only this forum, but rather this forum is the only location where you regularly go and see the issue. When I had the problem, it was this forum and RV.net. Other sites I tried worked properly.

    Richard,

    In your browser that is giving the Too many redirects issue.

    What happens if you

    1) clear the browser cache
    2) Clear cookies
    3) open a private window

    navigate to www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/

    Do you still get the error message

    Investigation of the routing for a url request, shows that if you request

    picbasic.co.uk

    you get a maximum of two redirects, resulting in a hit on www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/ , so its not a circular loop of death and should not throw a too many redirects error

    Clear Chrome Data

    This will delete your browsing history, cookies, and cached images and files.

    This will fix the “too many redirects” error in most cases.


    To clear your Chrome data:

    On your computer, open Chrome.
    At the top right, click More > More tools > Clear browsing data.
    At the top, choose a time range.
    To delete everything, select All time.
    Next to “Cookies and other site data” and “Cached images and files,” check the boxes.
    Click Clear data.


    Disable Browser Extensions
    If clearing your Chrome data doesn’t fix the “too many redirects” error, you might have a browser extension causing the problem.



    To disable extensions on Chrome:

    On your computer, open Chrome
    At the top right, click More > More tools > Extensions
    On the extension, you want to remove, click Remove
    If you’re not sure whether an extension is causing the problem, you can disable all your extensions.

    After doing so, enable them one by one to see which one is causing the problem.

    Adjust Time And Date On Your PC
    If you’re still seeing the “too many redirects” error, you might need to adjust your computer’s time and date.

    This can be caused by an incorrect time zone setting or a problem with your internet connection.


    To adjust your Windows computer’s time and date:

    Open Control Panel
    Click Clock, Language, and Region
    Under the Internet Time tab, click Change settings
    Uncheck the box next to Synchronize with an Internet time server
    Click Update now
    Try loading the website again after you adjust your computer’s time and date.

    Clear DNS Cache
    If you’re still seeing the “too many redirects” error, you can try clearing your DNS cache. This will delete any incorrect DNS settings and might fix the problem.



    To clean your Windows PC DNS cache:

    Open Command Prompt
    Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter
    Restart Your Computer
    It is essential to ensure you’ve included the space between “ipconfig” and “/”; otherwise, the command won’t work.

    Richard, On Checking, Chrome allows 5 redirects, we are no where near close to that. So I'm guessing that you have a rouge file in your browser system.

    There is nothing I can do at my end to "fix" the issue on your browser.

    I have added no features or changes that would cause this error.

    I get exactly the same thing. I've just accepted that it might take 20-30 attempts to open the forum page. It's been happening for a long time and only happens with this site. I'm also using Chrome.

    It is not chrome issue at all. Happens in FF and IE too.
    This is just forum hosting screwing up.
    You can skip that "too many redirects" error, but still nothing won't load.

    Most of December I was not able to get into the forum with this issue. It would work for a day or so, then not for a week or so and the last couple weeks of the year, not at all. I'm using Chrome. For the last several days, I have been able to get into the forum, but there do not seem to be any posts. I wonder if this issue has effectively killed the forum (and mortally wounded PBP). Certainly I was about to remove it from my shortcut list, and I tend to be slow to do things.

    Same here too with Chrome. All other browsers work OK for me except Chrome (I am not very fond of this browser...).

    Usually I prefer Opera. It is very strange that Opera works OK having Chrome as main core.

    I access the forum from 3-4 different computers, all running Windows, all using Edge and I've never seen this. (as far as I know Edge is also based on Chrome)
    I know this is no comfort for those experiencing the problem but it might help troubleshooting.

    Regarding the spam we try asap to zap them. Unfortunately this specific problem is beyond my knowledge and skills.

    As Richard marked, never the drugs, porn or lighter spam activities have problems sneaking in forums, mails sites... Nasty bastards....

    I think this is the case. Fortunatlely just links so far.

    Hope the problem with the redirects will not spread to other browsers too.
