Anyone know why I keep getting a "BAD REQUEST" msg on this site?

1. No idea, and why are you shouting?

6. Sorry, I sell on eBay and use all caps and often forget to turn off

2. Occasionally

the DU server may suspect there's something wrong with your connection...

usually figures out you're ok within a day or so...

3. It has been OK but with some nasty slowdowns yesterday. (Could be my ISP and my bargain plan)

That could be it, or there's a weird bug that EarlG knows about, where special characters or combinations of them upset the routers and filters meant to stop evil-doers.

And in the past, removing them cleared up the problem, but it was trial and error.

If it persists, post in DU Community Help forum, where it's more visible than this crowded forum.

Good luck.

4. Perhaps you let your computer's Nooblin level fall too low

I had the same problem a while back and it turned out to be a misaligned Finnegan Pin.

5. That explains everything.
