Corrupted Content Error

Hi,

since few days ago, sometimes, when trying to see an article from the
forum, I get that error. When it happens, it happens on any article I
try. After a while (minutes? hours?) the same link works again.

The full error is:


Corrupted Content Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the

Other sites continue working just fine, so it is not a local problem.

Just to verify it’s the same issue others have been, try just going to
(for example) forums.opensuse.org (no other URL) in the same browser
tab/window and then go back (use the back button even) to the place you
were originally attempting to access. In my experience doing so fixes the
issue.


Good luck.

Yes, I often see that.

As far as I know, it is caused by site cookies. The sure fire fix is to close the browser, restart it, and login again. Sometimes just a login will work. Sometimes a login to the bugzilla followed by a login to the forums will work. But sometimes nothing seems to work other than closing the browser and starting over.

I closed the entire XFCE session, after an update, which was after a 4
hour hibernation. On session restart, I could not open two old forum
tabs, and one new tab.

Funny! It works this way.
I’m still logged in, which is strange: my last log-in was about six
hours ago.

Same here. It’s an oldish intermittent problem (and workaround) of low frequency. It happened here earlier today.

Does anybody knows where is the hungarian forum? It’s dissapeared from the main site. I can find it only if I click on a link in my notification email (“you can find this topic here” link).
Sorry if I write on a wrong place…

As I recall, this was one of the sections we recently opted to close for
lack of traffic and native-speaking staff.

We’re not opposed, though, to the idea of reopening the forum if we have
members of the community willing to help manage it - and if the traffic
justifies keeping it open.

The thing that we need to be careful of is creating a forum where there
are either no people to answer, or no questions to be answered. :slight_smile:

Knurpht is handling the coordination of those forums.
