hello? anyone? it doesn't even happen at the Lodestone, only the forums.

[BLaCKnBLu3B3RRY]

so like... will this ever be fixed? it just recently started to occur at http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/ too. it never happens at like yahoo. only here. but how to fix it?

[BLaCKnBLu3B3RRY]

it is kind of tiresome refreshing everything 2 or 3 times. i have yet to find any other domain where this issue occurs. it occurs in every browser i have tried. not sure what is going on. :/

will this issue ever be fixed?

almost another half-year later since my last post, and over a year since topic creation... and STILL they don't fix this. i don't understand... it only occurs on domains that belong to square enix. it is obviously a problem on their end. it occurs on my laptop, the desktop and at the library. i have also recently tried out multiple operating systems. i have tried some 32bit and 64bit. all-in-all, i come here to square-enix/final fantasy pages and get this stupid error. i have to refresh the page like 2~5 times to get to work, and the error constantly shows throughout the day.

seriously... when will this ever be fixed? *sigh*

They probably aren't able to replicate the error, so can't troubleshoot it. You are the only one I've noticed posting this issue. May be an issue specific to your environment--possibly even something going on with your ISP or something (some do some weird trickery with caching and store-and-forward schemes).

I've been using Firefox for years myself, and have never experienced it. I do keep things pretty current though, idk if maybe you are on really old plugins or something?. Currently in the v43 family for firefox, v20 family for flash, and Java is in the 1.8 family...think it's the only one I haven't updated in the last 30 days or so. I also have all the SSL options enabled for both Windows (inetcpl.cpl) and Java on their advanced tabs. Might be something to look at.

I've viewed the forums and lodestone as far back as pre-Beta4 on a java based tracfone using both it's built-in browser and even the old UC-Web browser (servers in China or something that compress the data to reduce your data usage). Been using both Dolphin and Firefox on android devices for about 2 years as well. Never see such errors.
