Error code 520: web server is returning an unknown error

[GreenGray]

Getting the above message when I try to access forums on my laptop. Says it’s a host error. Any ideas?

I’m getting the same on Microsoft edge, but Chrome is fine, and so is mobile.

You could try pressing ctrl + f5 at the same time.

Delete your history. It’s a cached error. It’s a website issue but it won’t be fixed so a refresh in the client side will work.

It's not the history, it's the cookies you need to delete. Instructions from a previous thread:

Clearing history removes cookies also. Was just trying to keep it simple.

Sort of… both Chrome and Edge call that section "clear browsing data" (not history) these days – if you go to clear browsing data and don't touch any options then yes, it clears everything. If you just tick history then it won't clear cookies.

So you need to do a few extra steps before the mrs checks, Brightside.

I was getting that last week on my laptop along with some message about 'Cloudflare', but it wasn't appearing on my phone and it's not on my laptop now. Weird all the same.
