I am having trouble all day today accessing the forums through Firefox 3.0.4 (I am able to access the Crackberry.com main page with no problems) - when I try to go to any forum page I immediately get this error: "400 bad request nginx"
Then I remembered I had Google Chrome on my PC and tried there, and lo and behold, it works (albeit slowly) using Chrome.
Just wanted to point out another bug, which seems odd because I didn't think a server upgrade would have anything to do with which browser can access the forums.

It's working for me now, too. Go to Tools | Clear Private Data and check everything then click Clear Private Data. Close and restart Firefox. That worked for me.
I just realized myself that the forums were not working because of Firefox. Before then I did not realize it was related to my browser, on a hunch I tried IE and it worked like normal. Apparently this started happening to me after I choose the option to "remember me" when I logged in. I determined that, for some reason, the cookie it created had an error which was causing the problems. To fix the problem I went to Tools... Clear Private data ... checked the box next to "Cookies" (unchecked the rest) and the clicked the "Clear Private Data" button. This solved the problem for me on the first try. Hopefully this will help someone else also.
I just went to www.crackberry.com with FireFox and clicked "log out". It then allowed me to view the forums. When I click "log in" (correct password or wrong password, doesn't matter) it goes back to the 400 error again.
Sweet, thanks, logging out of the main page then clearing cookies allowed me to get back in the forums.
BUT you dont have to clear all your cookies, in FF go into the cookie manager and delete just the cookies for crack berry.com.
Otherwise you will wipe out all your online settings like saved logins, saved usernames, preferences, photo gallery preferences, bank account computer authentication (have to re-verify a pc), etc, etc.
So just deleting crackberry.com worked well.
Actually its funny how many of my customers believe deleting cookies speed up their computers and that cookies are bad. I try to explain that deleting your cookies is bad, and make using the web less pleasant. of course they dont understand....
However sometimes it is a bad idea to have cookies lying around with your bank account and other login information in there where just anyone can view it in clear text.
