400 Error

Recently, when attempting to access chess.com I've been getting a "400 Bad Request" error.  The problem resolves itself seemingly at random after a few minutes of hitting 'reload' on my browser.  I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or if there's a reason why it's happening to me.  If so, how can I fix the problem?

"400 Bad Request" is what it says.  Then it says something under it, but I can't remember what it is exactly.  I'll take a screenshot of it the next time it happens.

Anyone with anything intelligent to contribute?

What I meant was,

Does this happen only on chess.com? If not, then the problem is your computer not the site. Also try clearing your cache, or using a different browser. Have you recently changed your ISP or your proxy settings?

That's all I can think of

Is this still occurring? We attempted a fix, let us know if its still happening please. If it is, please try removing the meebo chat bar in your privacy settings, and see if that makes it go away. thanks

Hasn't so far, however I'll let you know if/when it does.  It seems quite arbitrary when it pops up.

Again, you're not being very helpful.  Look to the post which opened this topic to find the answer to your question.  YES, it is only chess.com.  NO, it is not the internet somehow reacting to stupid mac commercials and punishing me for not having a P.C.  Take your drivel elsewhere.  Maybe to a Mac vs. P.C. forum.

Even chess.com staff admits that meebo chat bar can cause some troubles Sealed

I get a 302 error often when I put my cursor over a username.

Well, sometimes, I get a 'Database Error' when attempting to go into any page of Chess.com. Now, it doesn't really happen.
