[ZListersMustDie]

I get this error on a lot of pages when I click on links to new items on DS

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

Anyone else have this problem ?

I got this for about 20 minutes yesterday, at first I thought it was firefox 3 but when I tried with IE6 the page wouldn't come up in that either.

It has happened to me also - and again, it proved to be this site, not FF3 or any other Browser.

On FF3 it is a completely different Error Message from what we got with earlier versions when DS Forums were temporarily unavailable.

Just have to get used to it, I suppose.

Yes, that compression error is a problem with the DS forums. I've had it several times recently. IE7 generates a different error message, but still doesn't work at those times.

I hope DS fix the fault. Intermittent errors can be a pain to diagnose though :/

main address doesnt even work at the moment. i have to go through http://212.42.1.205/forums It must be an intermittent fault cuz i report the error when i can but by the time forum support reply it's back to normal. I have had the "Invalid or unsupported form of compression" but only on FF never on IE

Ive had it this evening both on IE7 (main PC) and Ubuntu (Lappy) and from reading this thread earlier have realised its a DS problem and none of ours.

We are looking but we can't work out what has changed - nothing on our end yet the latest browsers seem to be falling over

All ideas gratefully received.

Sorry about that had an internal DNS issue which is now fixed (but very annoying).

Apologies to all who had the problem.

Hopefully as it was giving out no data it will be replaced with valid data quickly.

I get this as well, with FF3 and XP Pro SP3.

And the DNS was just down.

Come on DS, sort yourselves out.

[ok.]

Think I will bookmark the IP !! just in case.

[_SpeedRacer_]

I think you can ping the web address to get the IP

[tuppy26]

I added the IP addy earlier and when tried it as couldnt get in again about 10mins ago it will let me into front page of the forums but go no further without an error coming up........oh well as we can see above DS are on the case and will get it sorted

[PeppermintPatty]

Yup, just thought I'd pop on and say I've been having this too. I'm using Linux, but tried a couple of different browsers (Firefox, Opera, Epiphany) and got the same problem on all of them. I just presumed it was the site, and so it's proved.

Was this a DNS type error or the "compression" error that the thread describes?

Again was this the compression type error or just unable to access the site due to a DNS issue.

It's not a problem at all. DS is up 99.9% of the time and when it's not there is the IP address URL I posted. Every one has problems it's just a pain when it's intermittent

I get this error message when going to ITV's football site with FF3, but not IE7.

http://www.itv.com/Sport/Football/

[LION8TIGER]

Try this instead ...........

http://www.itv.com/Sport/Football/default.html

Actually, your link works fine now but it didn't the first time I tried it.

[_SpeedRacer_]

The link only works after clicking your link first... weird.

Also could anyone try going to europcar.co.uk with FF3? It stops responding for me, but works in IE7.

[LION8TIGER]

Europcar works straight away for me in FF3.

[Rios]

Has this been resolved for everyone else? I'm still getting the below message if Firefox 3.0.1 with XP SP3....

Content Encoding Error

* Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem.

IE6 just show a blank white screen???

[colinp]

[skrjones]

Coming up again for me on FF3
