When all that firefox gives you are a “Corrupted Content Error” page, the forums are effectively unreachable. It’s great that you have sufficient reports to diagnose the problem. But when you say things like that, you sure give the impression that you haven’t a clue as to what is the problem.

I saw Stephen’s post, and it does seem OK from here, but every once in a
while (rarely) I get an error similar to the one he reported.

Sounds like one’s going to be set up, just checking to see who it’s going
to forward to. I asked the board and already got a response, so it’ll be
done fairly quickly.

We have some ideas about where the problem is, but it’s not just a single
problem, and it’s not always reproducible, as I’ve explained before.
But we /are/ making progress.
Additional information (as opposed to just complaining - we’ve really got
enough of that and know that it’s a problem, so continuing to tell us how
frustrated you are doesn’t really help anything or provide more data
points. We know you’re frustrated. We’re frustrated. I don’t know how
to say it any plainer than that) is useful. Just the few additional
headers that have been posted here have helped narrow it down, and some
additional steps are being taken based on that feedback (which has helped
confirm some of the suspicions, as I understand it from the tech guy).
So please, more data, less “we’re angry/frustrated/annoyed/etc” about it
- the latter doesn’t help solve the problem, and really just adds to the
staff frustrations about being generally the messenger. Shooting the
messenger really doesn’t help.

Some words of comfort if it helps. At one time (around 2 weeks ago) I had to switch to NNTP because the HTML side was unusable or too slow for me. Anyhow I can see the progress in performance and I did not have any problems logging in since switched back to HTML. For me the forums work at the moment at least as good as before login changing page.
So to sum up I’m happy with the current HTML performance 
Thanks for the hard work of all that make it happen and good luck in further troubleshooting (it can be really hard especially when the problems are intermittent). If I encounter any problems I’ll be sure to give some feedback from httpfox plugin

Thanks, Greg.
Is anyone else (I know one user who’s reported this today) seeing
duplicate header issues today?

okay…so the forums should not be listed as an openSUSE Service among
“Any openSUSE service down . . . list of responsible people to contact
if you experience problems with any of them.”

More login problems.
For the last two days, it has been very difficult to login to the forums.
Load the main forum page. Click the login link.
That gives a very spartan login page (appears to be a novell page).
Fill in the login information on that page, and click “Login”
Nothing happens. The login form acts as if it is completely dead.
Yesterday, I got around this by logging in at the bugzilla.
Today, I tried a middle click on the login link. That gave me what appeared to be the older opensuse login page. From there, I was able to login.
While I do not know what is wrong with the log in process, it appears your best course of action is just to press the Enter (Return) key after you have typed in your user ID and password. It seems to work when trying to use the log in link does not.
Thank You,
