400 errors - giant cookie keeps getting re-added

[Chief]

One user has reported success in fixing this by switching off their ad blocker in their browser.

Others by deleting cookies and restarting their browser, or resetting their browser.

Five simple ways to fix this issue can be found here - #2 seems to work:

Can confirm I've started having this error as of about two days ago, immediately after a phone system update. I'm on a Google Pixel 6 Pro (Android).

No amount of cookie clearing or other similar fixes has worked.

Double confirming. Same exact phone, same exact issue. Full phone reboot, cookies/cache clearing, logging in/out of the browser etc have not solved it.

9 times out of 10, BigFooty simply doesn't load and I get this error;

1/10 times BigFooty does load, but I get this error (and then when I click anything or refresh, it goes back to the 400 Bad Request error);

Running into this issue all the time now through Chrome browser as well.

Not an https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/account/upgrades issue, only happens on my phone which doesn't have adblock

Cookies has done the trick for now tho

Same story here. No blocker either.

Best option is to kill BF cookies and content on your browser.

It might come back - not sure. I don't know what the cause is.

I had a dream I was eating a giant cookie and I woke up and my coffee table was gone

Clear your cookies, hasn't come back for me

I do not know what is causing it, so I can't say how long until it is fixed.

Delete the cookies is the only fix I have for anyone right now.

Unless someone can email me a copy of their BigFooty cookies - support@bigfooty.com - so we can see what the problem is.

1. Hit F12 or Right-click page and Inspect to open the Developer Tools
2. Click the Application Tab (which used to be called Resources)
3. Open Cookies on the left, select your site/domain (one at a time if you have multiple - different ad networks might have dropped cookies)
4. Double-click cookie column Value Or order by size to see the largest.
5. CTRL/Command + C or Right-click and select Copy
6. You could even just screen grab the list ordered by size? Anything would be a help.

My issues resolved after a chrome update.

I haven't had them for a week or. Couldn't be coincidence.

Chrome is such a source of problems. I don't know what their issue is.

Tried deleting cookies, changing brower, turning off Adblock, still can’t access site on my pc. Works fine on phone

That is very bizarre. You delete the cookie but you get the "cookie too large" error in multiple browsers?

I'm going to try something. Give it 15 minutes and then delete your cookies/cache on your laptop and see if it still happens.

OK I think I have found the one ad slot that is doing it. I have switched that off. Thank you for your patience and help with this, I appreciate it.
