Forum Loading Issue - "Area Not Available"
Had same problem on Chrome, deleting cookies fixed it.
Same bug for me with Chrome, deleting cookies/cache also fixed it
I fixed it by deleting cookies, but the same issue came up again tonight (2nd night in a row). Again deleting cookies fixed it, but if I have to do this every time to log in it is going to get annoying so there must be some underlying issue I think.
I had this earlier today. Every other GW2 site worked. Deleted just the forum cookie and that cleared it up. Hasn’t been back….so far.
I have this as well. I’ve deleted cookies/cleared cache on Chrome but that’s not solved the problem. I’m using Incognito mode in order to access the forums.
As the title says.
it says " this are is not available yet" and asks to go back to home ( just to display it again).
Pls fix
Clear your cookie(s) for the forums. It will work, again.
does anyone know if there’s a way to delete individual cookies in Chrome? I don’t want to clear all my cookies; it would be a bigger disruption for me than just giving up the GW2 forums altogether.

Settings – Advance settings, under Privacy – Content settings – All cookies and site data
thanks!
also, I found out there’s another way to fix the problem. it seems that you can go directly to a thread by following a direct link like this one:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Cannon-destroying-rams-through-gate
once you’ve managed to bypass the error that way, the forum seems to go back to normal again.

I tried that when I first had the problem. I tried many ‘backdoor’ ways to get in. Nothing, save removing the cookie, worked for me. (On Firefox, Chrome was working at the time.)
I seem to only get this ‘bug’ when the forum tries to send me to a closed thread, or wants me to re-log-in (while replying or posting), or some other move to a closed area.
Just to note, had the same issue again tonight. It seems to be a recurring problem every day.
I’ve just had the exact same issue so it definitely does not come from an issue of the browsers but definitely an issue from the forum.
I just returned to the forums, after a few hours away, and first thing, this issue. So, for me, today, it was caused by needing to log-in (I never log out, just that mandatory once/24 hour log-in thing).
For the notes, i had this for the last 2 days (on Chrome). Has something been changed on the forums configuration? Never had that before. Also, please add a “clear the forum’s cookies” link to that error page if you can’t fix it – i won’t clear them manually every day, i’ll rather stop using the forums in the long run.
Editing title. Issue seems to fix itself then break again.
This issue keeps coming back for me. What changed on the forums then?
3rd time I’m getting the same issue. Using latest Firefox.
The forums used to require being logged in to so much as see the main area. It no longer needs log in to be read, on the other hand, the session info cookie seems to have been corrupted by this change.
@DevTeam, you might need to roll back to log-in required. Or, you know, finish changing the remaining settings to recognize log in status properly so it stops corrupting the cookies.
This has been happening to me daily. Please fix
And all who stood by and did nothing, who are they to criticize the sacrifices of others?

When did they change having to log-in to read the forums? I can’t say I’ve ever had to log-in just to read them.
Over the last few days the forum cookie seems to break the ability to view your forum. I use Google Chrome and the attached image is what I get about once a day or so. Clicking the link doesn’t fix the problem. I was able to fix it by clearing your forum-en.guildwars2.com cookie. The problem seems to keep repeating after some time so I thought I would bring it up.
For those using Chrome with this problem, if you don’t want to clear all cookies you can fix it by going to: settings > show advanced settings > privacy click “content settings” button > all cookies and site data > find forum-en.guildwars2.com > click “x” to delete it.

+1. I’m having to delete that cookie once or twice a day to keep up with the forums.
Thanks, didn’t pay attention to that thread title because I guess I had cookies on my mind.
This has been happening to me for a few days now on Chrome. I have to go into settings every day and delete GW2 cookies in order to access the forums again.
same problem on my chrome (using my firefox now).
This has been happening for several days now, and getting sick and tired of having to delete my cookies, kinda BS if you ask me, since it is clearly something on their end.
Same problem on chrome, latest version, 33.0.1750.154.
Seems like the cookie is not handled properly, not expired properly or something.

I’m not sure it’s just a chrome thing, because it’s happening on my iPad (safari) and android smartphone (whatever default browser that is)

Still happening.. getting annoying to keep having to delete cookies just to read this site.
Incognito mode seems to make the forums work normally but normal chrome doesn’t. Reddit said this btw.
If you run the browser under “private mode” (Control+Shift+P in Internet Explorer and Control+Shift+N in Chrome) it will open an instance where the browser does not use cached data and if you log into the forums that way the issue will be resolved until they fix this bug.
This has been happening to me daily. Please fix
Me to for the last 2 weeks. Please fix so I don’t have to search for forum-en.guildwars and delete cookies every single day.
Same thing happening to me daily. Using Firefox.
It used to do that sometimes before too but simple reload always helped, but lately it has started to require cookie deleting.

Any one else been annoy of getting this page isn’t ready yet when going on forum until u clear ur cookies and data.
This is happening daily, and is quite ridiculous. Please fix asap.
Getting very annoying now having to constantly clear cookies to visit this forum.
Still not even a reply on this? I have to manually remove the cookie each time I enter the forums. Only other alternative is to not allow cookies here at all.
Most problematic browser atm for me is Chrome, but the problem lies w/ the forum.
Thank heavens I used an anonymous VPN to find this thread. Clearing cookies worked for me in Chrome, but I wonder how long it will be before others figure it out.
edit: Oh god looks like I have to manually clear cookies for this regularly. ANet, please fix!!
Incognito mode seems to make the forums work normally but normal chrome doesn’t. Reddit said this btw.
That is not surprising. Incognito mode would discard the cookies after it is done.
I’m also having this issue. Once I clear my Chrome browsing history, it’s fine for a bit but sometimes it just randomly decides not to let me connect.
Well we are two weeks into this issue of:
“Sorry, this area isn’t available yet. Please check back later. Try going back home?”
For both Firefox and Chrome. I am now deleting cookies daily.
Can we please get a “We are aware of the issue and are looking into it, thank you for bringing this to our attention. – ANet”
For me, it is specifically this cookie:
forum-en.guildwars2.com fangamer_core3
Delete this cookie and Firefox will work. Whomever is creating or issuing this cookie, please fix it!!!

That’s not the cookie that give me issues. Mine is just the regular forum cookie. Nothing behind it.
Wow, look at that… 6 minutes after my post…BAM a response
Hey guys this is a known issue at the moment that we’re still looking into. In the meantime, as some of you have noticed, please clear the forum-en.guildwars2.com cookies as mentioned by Avelos.
Sorry guys!

Ok, but THAT is the cookie the gave me the issue. I cleared them one at a time and closed and reopened the browser to test them. Deleting that one fixes it for me.

Same cookie I clear to fix the problem. The problem seems to show up about the same time of the day I usually have to relog into the forums so I think that is where the problem is.
We believe this issue has been fixed. Please continue to post here if you are still experiencing this problem.
