Persistent "Page could not be loaded" error

[NoName]

Mind-boggling that 2 months on and this issue has not been resolved.

Is it just me or is this getting worse again? iPhone, iPad and Laptop

 

[DejaBrew]

Yeah, I revoke my earlier comments about noting a reduction. Was a false dawn

Here is a workaround for when you get the following error when you try to access a quoted post:

Check the URL - it would be something like:

https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/goto?id=3002015

Edit this, replacing goto/?id= with posts/ .

In this example you get:

https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/posts/3002015

Hit Enter ...

I'm working on a Grease/Tamper Monkey script to automate this ...

Note, this appears to be a Xenforo issue, not specifically AFF.

This issue with accessing quoted posts appears to been rectified. YMMV

I'm not sure about the cloudfare issue as I never experienced it.

But it took me four attempts to get past the error message and access your post, serfty.

Which of the reported error messages was it?

 

[pagingjoan]

Which error message?

Sorry to be unclear.
The ubiquitous “Page could not be loaded”.
Just ironic.

I've been noting a recurring issue on both the desktop and mobile site where seemingly every other (or every few) attempts to open/refresh a page or open the notifications panel results in the following error -:

I think it’s a Safari thing.

Seems to working fine with Chrome and Firefox but flaky with safari.

I have a “Favourites” bookmark for AFF in Safari. When I click on that 50% of the time I get the can’t load page error…

No. Just tried out chrome and got this when trying to see the original comment that someone had reposted.

It is the last one I was referring to.

Yes, understood.

Just flagging this is still affecting me on my Mac, iPhone and iPad and presumably I'm not alone...

Other sites fixed/worked around it by disabling HTTP3 / QUIC in Cloudflare

Specifically, it's how Macrumors fixed it – https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/the-page-could-not-be-loaded.2481340/post-34568690
https://xenforo.com/community/threads/page-could-not-be-loaded.193001/post-1780251

Not sure. It started about a week ago. I don’t think a major iOS change happened. Best guess is Cloudflare deployed some http/3 behavior change that impacted Safari.

Font and the 'AFF Style' selector are acting weird for me.

sorry, still receiving 404 error with iOS Safari

Difficulties with editing posts overseas as well.
