Lucinda Bulloch Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Why do i keep getting a 400 error when i try to sign in to this forum using the normal ways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Deakins Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's an HTTP error code that's sent by the site's server to your browser. It means "The request cannot be fulfilled due to bad syntax". The bad syntax is from your browser. I've no idea how you fix it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucinda Bulloch Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yes, i am told it is an account problem that no one can fix but lindens(live chat told me that), seems that there is a flag against my account, and not just the 400 error, things like my homeset position becoming a sim that dont exist to me but does to all others, that was the oddest one, live chat people even tpped there and said that in my home was there but for some reason not to my account, they didnt know what to do, i had to send tickets, never got a reason, just it being visable to me a few days later, just a few of the odd things that keep happening, i sent 2 emails asking the lindens to check if a linden was doing it, both emails and tickets were deleted and the lindens said i never sent them, so make your own mind up as to what is going on.

Ceka Cianci Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 here are some fixes i found.. not sure if they will work or not but they may help.. sorry for it being a wall of text..it's just copy and pasted from a site i found.. Fixing 400 errors - general There is a low-level problem in the client or the Web server or both. 95% of the time this is because of a problem on the client system e.g. there is something unstable on your PC running the Web browser. Is your PC secure ?. If your PC is not well-protected, then all kinds of problems may occur - including HTTP 400 errors. If you run Windows, stay uptodate with automatic security updates from Microsoft and possibly consider getting a registry cleaner. Always have good anti-virus and spyware protection. Invest in a hardware firewall if you can afford one. Be sensible surfing the Web - block pop-up windows and avoid bad sites. If your PC security is compromised, then Web traffic out from your PC to the Internet may be secretly corrupted by malware (spyware, viruses, etc.) running on your PC. This can be difficult for you to detect. Have you installed web-based software ?. Some social networking and games sites ask you to download and run software on your PC so you can interact with other people on the Internet directly (without using your Web browser). This software, if badly written or even criminal, can corrupt all HTTP traffic from your PC. Getting rid of that defective software can be difficult. At worst you may have to reinstall your operating system again (possibly losing all your personal data on your PC if you do not have backup). How stable is your Internet connection ?. If you have recently changed ISPs or your ISP is very slow or unreliable, then Web traffic from your PC out to any site on the Internet may be corrupt. Your ISP may have reconfigured some of their setup (e.g. introduced new proxy servers or cacheing) that is causing some instability. A possible sign of problems here is if you can not easily browse the Web site of your ISP. You can also try to check that the Web site you are actually visiting is the one you think you are visiting. For example, you may have a DNS problem. You can check this using a ‘ping’ test. A DNS problem may be caused by your ISP or may be on your own system e.g. in a ‘hosts’ file. Do you get the error on more than one Web site ?. If you get the error on lots of Web sites, this indicates the problem is on your PC, not on those sites. Do you get the error using more than one browser ?. If you have two or more Web browsers installed on your PC and the behaviour is not the same (one Web browser gives an HTTP 400 error visiting a site, another Web browser does not give the 400 error visiting the same site), then one of your browsers may be defective. Try to find an upgrade or security fix for the problem browser. If you recently changed some configuration options in the problem browser, try reversing the change to see if that helps. Do you get the error on big Web sites ?. If you get the problem on quite a small site, visit some of the bigger sites like Amazon, Ebay, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo. If you get the problem only on small sites, it indicates a problem with only those sites or the traffic from your PC to those sites. Do you get the error on simple URLs ?. If you get a problem with a long complicated URL (such as http://www.xxx.com?PHPrequest=643&value=dres&cookies=No) but not with a shorter simpler URL for the same site (such as http://www.xxx.com), this can indicate a problem with the Web server on the site you are trying to visit. This is not conclusive evidence, but is a good starting point. Contact the owners of the Web site and describe the problem to them. You may find for example the problem occurs with POST methods (you are both submitting data to the Web site and retrieving data from the Web site), but not with GET methods (you are only retrieving data from the Web site). Do you have a cache problem ?. Try clearing your cookies, browser cache and browsing history in your Web browser. Disable or remove any third-party cacheing or ‘web accelerator’ software you installed. Then try rebooting your PC and any firewall/router you use to connect to the Internet. That may not fix the error, but at least may eliminate any problem due to old settings on your PC. What has changed since you started getting the HTTP 400 problem ?. In general terms, think about what has changed on your PC since you first started seeing the problem. This may cover any of the items mentioned above. Work backwards and see if undoing those changes makes any difference. So there are a lot of things that you can check on your own PC. If you contact the owners of the Web site giving you the HTTP 400 error and they say "We have lots of other users who do not have your problem - so there must be something wrong with your PC", they are right most of the time - and you can not expect them to be interested in fixing your own PC problems. However if they know there is a problem with their Web site, they should hopefully tell you so and tell you when they plan to fix the problem.

Phil Deakins Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 A site can be set to return any code, from a request by a specific IP, that the owner wants it to send. Having read, in another thread, your posts about your frequent bans from this forum, it could be that the site has been set that way for you. Using a proxy will circumvent it, which I assume is what you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucinda Bulloch Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 only once i was banned from here 2 years ago, anyway the forum is not like it was then, the forum now is more like a nazi propoganda front, i dont find this usful at all and dont realy care to come here, i had just 2 issues, one why am i being asked to update my card info every 2 weeks and why has the llcastray instruction stopped working for worn things, i did a lot of work converting guns to it and it worked then but now does not. i come here to make things and dont get involved in social things so dont spend here, my card just pays for my account and i use the weekly money to rent percels to sell.

Phil Deakins Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yes, I just re-read your posts in the other thread, and it does say that you were only banned once from the forum - for two years. Your frequent bans were from SL itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucinda Bulloch Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 I had problems with other weapons makers, 2 of my bans were for calling lindens bent, 1 ban was for spamming an estate owner for a refund, she owed me 70 lindens, would have done the same for 1 linden, 1 ban, for a month was for not paying my teir on my island, was banned till i paid it, 2 bans for were for telling people they should end their lives and to F--off and 2 1 hour bans for trying to ban lindens from land and orbiting them. i think, mostly due to rows with estate owners, weapons makers and lindens. Most must know quantum, my battle with her was epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceka Cianci Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 the reason you can't delete it is because it can't find the source.. mainly because it is still running while you are doing the scan..does your antivirus offer a boot scan..you probably have to catch it before or while windows is loading..before it starts to run.. that or see if you can get it from safemode first.. oh also before scanning you may want to turn of system restore..a lot of sources hide behind that as well..then turn it on again when you are done..
