Apologies, I'm sure this must have been asked before but, but trying to open a thread or refreshing the NSC page repeatedly sends me to a
"Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit." page.

Is this purely a server issue, is there a setting / tweak at my end that I can implement?

Using Chrome on Win10.

P.S. Please type slowly if replying - it might take me 10-20 attempts to be able to read your reply

I had this in Chrome. I fixed it by looking at cookies and specifically searching for ones from NSC. I deleted them and all is good now

Clear Cache, that usually works. You're probably dragging a hundred cookies with you every time you visit a web page!

Drop down the Chrome menu at the top, then click 'Clear Browsing Data' and it should drop down a box which tells you how many tracking cookies you have following you around. You can clear these.

I'm no computer expert by the way, it's something a friend (who is) once told me to do when I had the same issue..
