I get these all the time. It doesn't seem thread specific as I can open the same thread multiple times and only once in a while it does the repeating reload. Also, a simple refresh clears it up.

I wish a refresh would clear it up for me, but it doesn't seem to. And I'm not willing to clear cookies / data. If I grab the same two URLs and paste them into the address bar of Chrome (which I have set to clear everything every time it is closed/re-opened), it still does the same thing.

Who knows. I guess it could be some hidden proxy between me and the server run by the ISP. I just know it's a bit annoying. In the case of the the SDS thread, if I go to the forums and click on the thread I can navigate through just fine. But if I click on the link above, it continuously reloads. The MARCS thread behaves worse.

I'm seeing the problem too. I typically see this when I'm not logged on, and logging on corrects it. Not so with the MARCS thread above. It won't let me see past page 85. Clearing the cache and reloading it doesn't help. This is the first time I've ever encountered this while actually logged on.

Viewing the response headers, the issue is an internal redirect that is failing, thus reloading pages. All HTTP requests are being redirected to HTTPS. There is probably an erroneous html template embedded in the database that is causing this.

https://forums.radioreference.com/u...ers/371120-sds-100-pricing-7.html#post2940196

gets redirected to:

Code:
Request URL: [COLOR="Red"]http[/COLOR]://forums.radioreference.com/uniden-prospective-owners/371120-sds-100-pricing-7.html
Request Method: GET
[COLOR="red"]Status Code: 307 Internal Redirect[/COLOR]

then attempts another redirect to:

Code:
Request URL: [COLOR="red"]https[/COLOR]://forums.radioreference.com/uniden-prospective-owners/371120-sds-100-pricing-7.html
Request Method: GET
Status Code: 200 OK

Ok, interesting...

Mike's link (permalink) is to a specific post number 2940196. I do not see a post by that number in that thread.

http://forums.radioreference.com/uniden-prospective-owners/371120-sds-100-pricing-7.html#post2940185

http://forums.radioreference.com/uniden-prospective-owners/371120-sds-100-pricing-7.html#post2940207

So there is a gap between those two posts, 2940196 was probably a deleted post. The two links above do not exhibit the page reloading.

The error is still a redirect problem that the admins will know how to fix. It's not something that is wrong at the client side.

I've asked Lindsay about this and he suspects it's a vBulletin bug. At this point, with the new forums software coming online at some point, it's not worth trying to track it down.

Sorry folks.
