Bit random, but I am unable to access page 29 of this thread - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4870437

All ofhter pages seem to display properly, but when I try to get to page 29 I get:

Hi

I've just tried via your link (which is to p30 btw, not p29?) and had no trouble in accessing either of these pages. Are you able to see any of the pages beyond 29/30? Have you tried clearing your cache and then having another go?

Rahven

Howdy! Yes I'm aware the link is to page 30, I have tried clicking < (prev page) and 29 from there and still can't access it. Yep I can see all other pages in the thread without issue. Just tried your cache clearing suggestion (thank you) but I still can't access that page (same error). Bizarre!

Does it work for you on a browser other than Chrome?

Yes, I get the same situation that you are getting (with the Chrome browser).

I have seen this sort of problem before (but only very rarely).

There are one or two odd things that I have noticed on my use of this system from time to time.
When I bother to mention them on the forum, the usual response is that others are seeing things as they should be.
Clearing the cache can sometimes help (or at least MSE cookies) but not always.

As to the cause ...
I have any number of theories ...

Because of the very restricted nature of some of the problems, I have sometimes surmised that the MSE techies use some live usernames in some of their tests, and they don't properly tidy up things afterwards. :think:

Certainly some of my MSE cookies don't update themselves in quite the way one might expect.

Or it could be that you and I (and probably others) don't operate quite in the way that the MSE techies think we do, so they haven't allowed for this, and something therefore goes awry. :think:

But I'm open to other hypotheses ...

Interesting ...
With Firefox, although it displays page 28 and 30 (& other pages) fine - try to access page 29 and it goes into a loop/limbo - no error message at all.


Opera displays page 28 and 30 (& other pages) fine - try to access page 29 and you get an error message :

Remote server or file not found

You tried to access the address https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/4870437, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.

I was using my mobile for my first attempt so thought I'd try again from my laptop. My browser is Opera, btw. Still had no problems.

Sorry, OP, I'm out of ideas now. Hope somebody else will be along soon with an answer for you.

OK in Firefox here.
