N4G: Are you getting Application Errors?

Hello everyone.

There was an update earlier this week that affecting caching on the site. Some people may be having issues connecting to the site and are getting Application Errors when logging in.

If you are getting Application Errors when trying to log onto N4G, please do the following:

1. Clear your cache and all cookies associated with N4G for all time.
2. Completely close out your browser.
3. Go back and log back in.

This should fix your issue. But, make sure that #1 is for all time. Only 4 weeks may not be enough.

This is the same on mobile, but you might have to look up how to do it on some browsers like Samsung browser or the like.

Additionally, if none of this works for you right now, going incognito and logging in that way will always work since it doesn't cache data or cookies in that mode.

Thank you,
Christopher

I was getting errors on mobile with both Firefox and Chrome. Deleting the cookies worked, thanks!

[umair_s51]

Has happened to me in the past. Thanks for tip. Am prepared for next time

[UltraNova]

Thanks for the tip, it seems fixed now.

@Chris

Have you guys managed to do something about the PM spammers?

[SniperControl]

@UltraNova
I started a ticket about a week ago regarding PM spammers, they asked me to give them a list of all culprits sending the spam, as i had loads i thought it would be better just to give them a screenshot, i asked for a email i could send it to, nobody has got back to me as yet.

[The Wood]

the spam thing is way more annoying. Sending the email or user name isnt much help as it changes every time

[UltraNova]

@both above

I've reported and blocked each and everyone of them. I've also started a ticket a week or so ago and haven't heard from the admins since.

I don't understand the silence here...

[nix]

I used to get that and I used to get msg that I've been banned. And I had not logged in for weeks.

Nowadays, I keep getting PMs that keep asking "is this your site?"

[Elda]

I experienced the same thing in everything you mentioned.

[Fist4achin]

Same here. It's really annoying.

[excaliburps]

I'm getting runtime error on mobile. Not even just logging in but acccessing the site...

[Christopher]

Follow the steps above anyway.

[Kribwalker]

i haven’t seen cookie monster on here since Rookiemonster lol

[RaveTears]

It works for me temporary but it continues to have the same problem on Chrome and Firefox. Also I can't access my original account anymore because of this problem and no one have responded to my ticket yet. My original account kept getting blocked, banned and unbanned so much time while roaming on N4G that now is permanently banned.

[solideagle]

Yes, the same issue even after clearing the cookies. Another issue is when I tried to raise a ticket I got internal server error pop up box.

[SierraGuy]

Same and it's only n4g...never see this issue with any other web page.

[MadLad]

I'll need to do this. I switched over to a crap browser that works but, again, it's crap.

[Nitrowolf2]

The issue comes and goes, its occurring on a few sites (ours included) also. It's an issue with Google chrome? At least for me and many others, I know google stopped updating third party cookies last month and I think they are finally taking effect

An article we found on it: https://www.forbes.com/site...

[Jin_Sakai]

It’s happening to me on mobile Safari. I couldn’t even get on the site to read this post and see what’s going on. Clearing website data fixed the problem for me. Wonder what causes this problem? I’ve seen it many times especially on Sunday's for some reason.

[rlow1]

Already fixed it on chrome

[strayanalog]

I was every other time it seemed. And here I thought the place got hacked by Anakin and we would be subjected to hearing how the system doesn't work. Now I wonder if anyone rage quits the site.

[Kiwi66]

I had issues connecting using either chrome or the samsung web browser, but then one would work and the other wouldn't, it was like having a lucky dip

[KwokXi]

That's a helpful explanation, I have 0° and above n4g mobile site as my homepage on my phone with Samsung browser, while it seemed to fix itself after two day this is helpful advise, thank you very much!

[XxINFERNUSxX]

Yes I am, mostly from logging in. I'm using the Opera browser on Win 10. I did clear history and even used CCleaner but after I do all that and login again it comes back. Def not an issue on my side :D Also I noticed this site goes down a lot. All my other gaming and tech sites that I recall never went down.

[Skuletor]

It happens every now and then, it has happened a lot over the time I've visited this site tbh.

[myfathersbastard]

I’m having issues connecting to the site here n there. But what’s really annoying me is the constant messages from spam accounts.

[DiRtY]

I have another solution !

If you are getting Application Errors when trying to log onto N4G, N4G should do the following:

Get your sh*t together!

This happens way too often and it is a N4G-problem. At least tell your community that you are working on it!

Same with the Spam via PM. This has been going on for a month or even longer. So instead of telling your community ways to get around YOUR mistakes, correct your own mistakes.

Sounds revolutionary, doesn’t it?

[RazzerRedux]

You should ask for a refund.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

Why dismiss their legitimate comment with that? They're not wrong honestly.

[RazzerRedux]

"Get your sh*t together!"

You call that a legitimate comment? Please. He just wants to feel entitled.

[crazyaejay]

^ This. 100%.

[porkChop]

I use Hermit on Android to create a lite app for N4G. And it doesn't work anymore. I can view the site through Google Search. But as soon as I open it in a browser like Chrome it doesn't work at all.

[ajax17]

Glad it's not just me

[franwex]

I had a hard time with Safari mobile. But it works on my Android tablet on Chrome and on my Windows laptop that I use Edge on.

I guess I use all browsers. Heh.

[Ninte]

Not working in opera on a mobile phone but it's working in chrome.

[KyRo]

I've been having them for years on the mobile site.

[Bathyj]

That fixed it. Thanks

[Ninte]

.

[BlackDoomAx]

Thanks, it worked

[KRUSSIDULL]

I can replicate the issue everytime I login on PC it happens. I use Chrome and tested Edge ( Chromeium version). On mobile it works fine.
I will not delete all cookies just for N4G.

[Psychotica]

lol..oh ok. I thought someone was hacking the website.

[CrustifiedDibbs]

No, but i am constantly getting spam in my inbox.

[paradigmfellow]

May I ask what you guys are doing with the constant spam messages we are getting?

[Vanfernal]

This happens on a regular basis. I just wait it out.

[AmUnRa]

Yep i had that problem. But i always clear my cache on my Ipad every time before i close my Ipad, so i had no problems the next time i was opening the N4G side with Safari.
Thanks...

[QuePasa87]

All good for me hmm

[Jsm89k]

Is there a fix in the works?

[crazyaejay]

Indeed. A professional website fixes their problems. An unprofessional one tells their users to work around them.

[Gunstar75]

PM spamming has become a big problem

[jznrpg]

Yes . I get them a lot. I just use an old link I have an go from there .

[CaptainHenry916]

Deleting the cookies worked

[bunt-custardly]

Getting this in Chrome but not in other browsers. Followed the instructions, it worked for a while and now happening again.

[SamTheGamer]

Sometimes it's working and sometimes not.

[Skuletor]

Yeah, I never cleared my cookies and it recently stopped working, then worked again regardless.

[gaffyh]

Cleared the cookies on Microsoft Edge and it worked, but closed the browser to try again and getting the same runtime error. Using Chrome to post this as it works on Chrome fine.

[dumahim]

Wish I could have seen this earlier. Couldn't get the page to load all day. I finally get it up and clicked a link and error again.

[TechRaptor]

Been having the issue - even had once in incognito when I logged in and had to restart browser there.

Hell, had it in a browser newly installed just to test and had it after clearing N4G cookies all time.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

I've had this issue, multiple PM spams, the "You are banned" false warnings, seeing plenty of fake accounts commenting the "I make $X per week working from X" links, etc..

No offense but this site has constant problems and some that have been going on for months or even years, but I don't see any indication of fixes coming. That's not great for a professional, high traffic website. Not to mention the sites that have accounts just to approve their own sites articles.

[MasterCornholio]

Holy crap it's Rookie_Monster!!!!!

Anyways I've been having some issues for a while and even if clear it out it always comes back.

[billfabes]

I get error. I reinstalled browser and it helped me

[Stanjara]

You have to clear cookies to get the page back not chache, which is annoying as hell cause it also loose my other sites password logins.

Fix that! It is still happening.

P.S. PM spamers are also going crazy

[Terry_B]

I am still getting the spam from day to day...

[blackblades]

Getting that and still getting spam. What would triple it is if I was getting those ads again from that one year.

[Cyb3r]

I keep deleting my cookies but the problem keeps coming back

[ccgr]

I can access the site on Chrome and Edge. Brave stops working after I log in though.

[Chocoburger]

Ah! I haven't been to the site for 3 days now because of this Application Error. I did a Google search and it showed this webpage as a result but I couldn't access it. However Google result featured just enough of your post message for me to understand how to fix the error.

Thanks.

[Ninte]

The error has started again in opera. No problem in chrome.
