I'm not sure what the issue is. If I come to the site via a private browsing session in firefox I can access it, if I block the cookies for the site I can, and if I use the site ip to access I can, but it won't load via www.hardforum.com . Any ideas?

It just says site 400 bad request if I try by the site name.?

hardocp loads fine via the name.
 
Deleting all my cookies from the forum fixed that issue for me. DNS and whatnot did nothing either.
 
well it works in ie8, so it must be a firefox issue. maybe i've had it open too long. let me close all tabs :D
 
well no go after rebooting firefox and totally clearing it. i dont' wanna go to this site via ie8 :(
 
well i got it straight. i cleared all the history in firefox and that seems to have done it. i was just clearing the past day's history.
 
Roger that, we are looking into it.

Ok, that's fucked up, those links worked for me, but I was just having the same problem as the OP last night and this afternoon.

Weird.

By the way, don't bother trying to get a response from any admins on here...

I have had nothing but quick and cheerful help from the admins throughout this

Hmm, maybe they just don't like a wise-ass . . . oh, wait, no, cause they like Me :p

Well I understand they have been bombarded with the site issues, but I'm not sure what you are referring to here. I'm talking about email responses not PMs (as I was unable to login into my account last night).

Either way, hope everything else goes smoothly...
 
Well, thank God I got in via IE. Two days of "400 Bad Request" had me going through withdrawals!! :p

I didn't want to lose my history, so I tried deleting just cookies and cache and that did the trick.

(P.S. Maybe a note on the Hard|OCP page?? I kept checking there for any info, expecting that the site server was still down. I wonder how many others are still lost to this error, unable to get in.)

any chance you will bring back a clickable usercp? i can only click on it from the quick links

If you click on User CP, the User Control Panel heading at the top of the menu is a link to the User CP.
 
This looks to be an issue with VBulletin and FF corrupting its cookies. Out of our hands.
