Forum link redirects to incorrect URL
I have the same thing happening – but only in chrome Version 35.0.1916.153 m
Regular explorer works fine.
“Whose Kitten is this?” – “It’s a Charr baby.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
Same problem,
On Internet Explorer from the main page the redirect link to the forums comes up as
http://forum.guildwars2.com/ which returns the 404 error,
When i use Chrome it redirects correctly to
http://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum
I thought it was maybe a browser hijack or something, but did a full system scan, and had 2 friends check also with the same problems via IE.
I am also having this problem with Firefox but not with safari on my ipad.
Same here, but having the issue with Chrome.
Same message, I had to go through the submit ticket→ forum way. I thought that maybe my IP was banned for some reason(it isn’t). This message (from the OP) keep popping up ever since the Ready Up stream. I initially dismissed it as an overflow of users trying to sign up for the Tournament of Legends. But now, I’m not so sure anymore.
Funny enough I do not have the same issue with chrome at work – same version as mentioned above.
“Whose Kitten is this?” – “It’s a Charr baby.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
“Whose Charr is this?”- “Ted’s.”
“Who’s Ted?”- “Ted’s dead, baby. Ted’s dead.”
same problem using firefox

Same problem here. Chrome. It helps with saved up url of forum but its annoying.
The problems seems to be with how the server redirects you to the right language, and the language settings of your browser.
I have English (UK) in my accepted language list, and get redirected to the incorrect forum-en-gb.* However when I remove said British language as accepted language, it correctly redirects me to forum-en.*
For the coders: kinda sounds like they directly put the
$_SERVER[HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE]Whoever is in responsible for the website has really messed up with this.
It’s great that they automatically send the user to their desired language forum by detecting the browser’s language priority…. However, it makes no sense to send the user to an URL that does not actually exist.
You can get around the error by setting “English (en)” as the first language in your browser settings – but we shouldn’t need to do that! I shouldn’t be sent to a non-existant URL just because I’ve told my browser that I prefer a certain language.
It seems like they are directly using the preferred language shortcode in the redirect – that could be a cross-site scripting vulnerability.
What they should do is something like (in PHP):
if ($lang == “en” || $lang == “en-gb”) header(‘Location: forum-en.guildwars2.com’, 301);
Same here, only a recent thing. Fairly annoying – as already mentioned it seems to take the first locale in the accepted languages list and blindly insert that into the URL despite the fact that en-GB should actually be covered by en.

Similar issue here – very annoying. (Redirects to the GB) forum – this needs the internal redirects (ANET side) fixed to allow this to work properly.

This has been broken for over a week and no response. I guess they don’t give a kitten about their forums, it’s not like it’s hard to fix.
Today it worked again for me, but then after I logged in, it redirected me to the download page. Then I had to click the Forums link again, and press Sign In, and after that I was signed in.
edit: nevermind, if I sign in on the main page and then try to open the forums, the link is still broken.
Any plan that involves dead quaggans is, by design, foolproof. I’m an unmitigated genius!

Same problem with IE8. If I search for Guild Wars 2 Forum and click the direct link it doesn’t work, but if I use the WvW forum link it does.
Also find that the forum link at the top of the main page doesn’t work either.
The link seems to be working fine now.
Yeah, seems to be working now.
