sar4x4 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Starting yesterday I can't open 'backcountry4x4club.ca' on my iPhone 5 S (I think, lol). I've used this phone and the bc app and Safari for over two years.It says 'Safari cannot open the page because too many redirects occurred.' Any ideas? I haven't typed that statement into Google yet........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Fixed. Asked 'Mr. G', and then went in Settings and cleared the browser history and it's working again. Never heard of that before, but I'm not a IT tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Em_eralds&Rubis Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Derek was having the same problem a couple of days ago with the same browser. I don't remember the verdict, but they were discussing it on the facebook page if you wanna take a gander there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Cache build up on site and browsers, had it cleared on the site just need to clear your browsers and all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I haven't been able to post from 2 different laptops using Chrome... Even AFTER clearing all history and cache, cookies, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Test. To see if it work for me (IE11). I'll try Chrome in a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomWood Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Not the website. Issue is with local computers and browsers. If people are still having issues please PM Autumnwalker our forum admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerram Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 OK, I made it on here haha, and I'm in the dinosaur age with tech. I cleared everything multiple times to no avail, finally made it to home page, then click forum and same thing won't go . so cleared again, googled " back country 4x4 fourm" and voila... I'm here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Somehow I disagree the issue lies solely at the browser end. I've never had such an issue with any other sites on any other computers that I can ever ever remember. From what you are saying I think it was initially caused by this forum website, but the only way to fix it is clearing browsers at the computer end?Or, it happened after I updated the iOS on my phone?Doesn't really matter though! I might remember how to fix it when it happens again, or I try to remember to just check 'Mr. G' (Google).Just trying to make us all smarter, one mistake at a time......... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil'monster Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Same story as the last time they upgraded it is your computer not the forum lol. But the only problems we were having was with this site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I fail to see how this is related to the upgrade when we were fine for months. Again any issues send our forum admin a PM and let him know. Public complaining only looks bad. Yes there seem to be some issues with some people, contact the right person to get it fixed.

Lil'monster Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Problems didnt start right away last time either I am not having a problem at this point just find it funny how it gets blamed on peoples devices it is just like calling eastlink when your having a problem with internet.

autumnwalker Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Guys ... nothing has been upgraded on the forum. I'm not sure what the issue is that people are experiencing. It sounds like client-side cache issues to me as anyone that has had the issue seems to get it cleared up when cache / cookies are cleared (properly).

flibby Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Nope, I can connect at work through Chrome (through proxy) but not at home, started about 3 days ago. The error in chrome is too many redirects, cleared cache, deleted %temp% contents and still nothing. I have to use IE8 (dont ask ) and I had to enable TLS1.1 TLS1.2 and uncheck SSL2.0 as of 3 days ago just to get the forum to load. I tested with IE11 and it worked fine. Might not be anything "wrong" with the server but something changed to have affected this number of people. I'll dig through Chrome tonight if I have a chance, I'm sure its a setting somewhere.

autumnwalker Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Might not be anything "wrong" with the server but something changed to have affected this number of people. Agreed - something must be up. I have opened a ticket with IPB to see if they have any input. I have to use IE8 (dont ask ) and I had to enable TLS1.1 TLS1.2 and uncheck SSL2.0 as of 3 days ago just to get the forum to load. I tested with IE11 and it worked fine.

autumnwalker Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Guys - I figured it out. Totally my bad.I enabled something completely unrelated / new on the server the other day called ModSecurity - apparently there is a rule there that conflicts with forum software showing as a false positive. I have disabled the rule - lets see if the access issues improve.As for blaming it on the end user client (browser) it certainly presented itself that way - clearing the cache would fix the problem for most.

sar4x4 Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Never say never. On TV dramas they often say 'But that's impossible' when they really mean they don't understand how that could have happened. But really they just don't have all the facts.We just have to be patient, and present the facts. I could have cleared my browser and kept quiet, and everyone else the same, but then Scott wouldn't have traced it back to likely a change that was made at the server end.I'm just rambling!

TomWood Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I do apologize guys for blaming the user client. Should not have jumped to that conclusion.
