When I click on the “Discussions” white on blue button on the left, I have been getting

Error #400  
Bad Request  
BW4.2.30.0/TIFF at [compression02.stkn.mdsg-pacwest.com](http://compression02.stkn.mdsg-pacwest.com)

It appears to try to use  
[discussions.flightaware.com//](http://discussions.flightaware.com//)

By removing the extra slash on the end, it works.

Most (e.g. all that we’ve tested) web browsers will ignore the extra trailing slash, but it appears that you’re going through a web proxy that doesn’t.

I’ll get this fixed some time today.

That’s a bug in your browser or ISP’s proxy software, although what’s causing it should be fixed now.
