Heya,
I am getting a 404 error whenever I try to navigate to CN. I am using Firefox 41.02 on OSX. Any ideas why my internet is broken?
-
Are you actually getting a 404 error (which would have to be generated by the server, since SMF doesn't even do error codes), or just a "not found" page within SMF?
Also, could you post the exact URL from your address bar when this happens?

"404 Not Found"
http://forum.tfes.org/Themes/default/css/print.css?rc2
This is the page I navigate to when I click on the CN link from the main forum menu.

That's a CSS file. It should never be linked directly. The CN link on the main menu points to this URL for me:
http://forum.tfes.org/index.php?board=2.0
Would you mind pasting the contents of the page source on the main page (right-click on the background and select "View Page Source")? You can use [code][/code] to make it scrollable rather than bloating your post.

I can't because someone had the good idea to limit the post size to 20,000 characters. :P

Ah, then you can just Pastebin (http://pastebin.com/) it.

Exactly like that, thanks. I'll have a look when I'm not eating.

"print.css" doesn't even appear anywhere in that paste. Are you absolutely sure the CN link is sending you there?

Just verified it again.

That URL appears to be referenced in the CN theme, in line 9 of the processed HTML:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://forum.tfes.org/Themes/default/css/print.css?rc2" media="print" />
Putting aside the fact that the CN theme probably shouldn't be referencing a CSS file that doesn't even exist, it seems that for some strange reason your browser arbitrarily decides to load that instead of the actual page.

Rama, just to rule out that this isn't being caused by a dodgy browser add-on or something like that, could you please try reproducing this in Firefox's safe mode (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode)?

When starting in safe mode, I can navigate to CN properly.

Okay. In that case, the problem is almost certainly with one of your addons/plugins/whatchamacallit. You might be able to identify which one simply by turning them all off and turning them on one by one until stuff breaks.
I'll remove the line of code that references the non-existent CSS file since it shouldn't be there anyway. However, I couldn't tell you whether or not that will actually help in your case.

That did it. It was an add-on called "search me". I have removed it and everything is working fine now. Thanks for the help!
