After accessing a few questions on Ask TOM, I'm getting an error:

400 Bad Request
Request Header Or Cookie Too Large

This "solves itself" if I try later - I don't know exactly how much later - it typically works the next day again, but it doesn't work immediately if I refresh the page.

I can also manually delete the cookies for the site, which works but only until I've read a few questions/answers again, but I'd like to find a way to solve this permanently.

Unfortunately its nothing that's your fault.

There's currently an issue with the identity management layer at Oracle - so people can this, and the current workaround is as you describe.

It shouldn't happen if you don't sign in, so perhaps try use asktom anonymously unless you really need to sign on (office hours etc).

Apologies for the inconvenience
