Over the last few days I’ve been having issues with the Folksy site when using Chrome. Sometimes it works fine for a while, then I will get this error if I click on my dashboard, or a link to an item:
400 Bad Request
Request Header Or Cookie Too Large
nginx/1.6.2
Once I get it then it keeps happening. I have cleared my cache/cookies and it doesn’t help. If I restart the browser it will work for a while, but after few minutes I get the error again. Im using a desktop, Windows 10 and Chrome.
I only have a problem with Folksy, no other sites, and if I change my browser to Edge (which I am not keen on) then it works ok.
Any advice?
According to the internet you might want to clear your DNS cache as well (different to your browser cache) How to Flush and Clear Windows DNS Cache
Also check that chrome is up to date.

Thanks Sasha @SashaGarrett.
Chrome is up to date.
I’ve cleared out the DNS cache, and it worked ok for about half an hour, and long enough to print out an order, but it’s now doing the error again.
Can you help Doug @dougfolksy ?
What are you doing before the error occurs? Internet says that a 400 error normally happens if there is a mistake in the url such as if a cookie has got corrupted.
I’m just clicking on something, like ‘dashboard’ from the drop down menu, or a link from a forum post. Sometimes I get to my dashboard, but I’ll get the error when I click on ‘listings’ or ‘orders’. It’s really bizarre how random it is.
I cleared my cache & cookies again and restarted my computer…it’s behaving at the moment so I’ll see how it goes.
Do you have any extensions or plugins set up on chrome? If you do then try turning them off. (I had an issue with a plug in causing a bit of Folksy to break but it was always the same bit not randomly like you are seeing but its worth a try)
It’s also being suggested online that restarting your internet router is worth a try.
Yes we restarted the router…
I don’t know about extensions…haven’t got a clue, will have to ask hubby.
