Topic: Error 500 Connection is closed

[Seacor]

I just started to receive the following error attempting access to NWR this evening.  This is happening in Firefox 24.0.  The site appears to function using IE and Chrome.



HTTP ERROR 500


Problem accessing /index.jsp. Reason:


    Connection is closed!

Update:  The problem is also happening in Chrome.

Using Firefox or Chrome, I can only get to the site if I use the following URL:
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php

Any attempts to visit the front page of the website return the errors.


Also, I received the following error when I wasn't even attempting to logon:

Sorry, but you've reached your login attempts threshold. Please wait 30 seconds and try again later.

[Mop it up]

I had this problem also. I cleared my cookies and active logins, and now they both work.

Oh, and I'm using FireFox.

Thanks for the response and tip!

I thought I had Firefox set to clear everything on exit, but after checking "Settings for Clearing History," cookies and site preferences were unchecked.  After checking those, exiting and launching the browser, I can now get to the main page of the site.  Chrome now works as well after clecking everything in "Clear Browser Data."

Crazy!
