  • This error could be an issue to the website's server that you are trying to access. You may want to try contacting the admin of the site and informing about the issue. This is actually a rare case. Does this happen on other websites that you visit?

    Thanks Kian, it only happens on this website so I will go and mention it in the Site Feedback section and see what they say.

    Have you got any other browser you could try, such as Firefox?
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?
  • I'm not allowed to post links but I can't type everything what's in here without copying and pasting.

    No, I don't mean you need to dump Chrome and replace it with Firefox, I just want to know if you get the same error using a different browser.

    Also, what version of Chrome are you running, what add-ons do you have for it, and what operating system are you using?

    I'm getting the bad request page as well. Only happens on MSE. Reverts to normal after a couple of page refreshes but it is annoying.
  • Same with me.

    I can hardly use this website today...

    I'm using firefox
