so no one else has had to deal with this?

 

What is the link here in question?

Have you had your server provider disable all custom redirects and rewrites?

when there is a link on facebook, people get that. 

 

"Have you had your server provider disable all custom redirects and rewrites?"

Should I ask them to do that?

We would need an example link.

Yes. That will help you eliminate anything you’re server is imposing on the software.

so that works 

if you want a realistic reproduction...post a link to the Facebook post that has the link that then results in the issue you are seeing.

Reproduction steps:

  1. Go to Facebook
  2. Create a post
  3. Add the URL above
  4. Post the post
  5. Click the link

Result:

Could contain: File, Page, Text, Webpage

Let's take FB out of the equation....here's the link they produce:

Click it - same issue.

Take the long string out of the equation:

https://clubadventist.com/forums/?fbclid=1

Same issue.

Add that query string to someone else's (who happens to be self-hosted) site URL

https://www.ynwa.tv/?fbclid=1

No issue.

Let's take that query string out of the equation:

https://clubadventist.com/forums/?sausages

Same issue.

What are the contents of your .htaccess file that you have at the root of your Invision installation?

Maybe you have a bad "Friendly URL" installed (in a third-party add-on?) that tries to match all query strings?

This would cause an infinite redirect as the FURL would keep redirecting to itself.

If you don't have any third-party add-ons, nevermind... 

Anyway, just a thought.

Sounds like you're getting pretty good support from your host. Are you hosting on a VPS there?

I'm getting this issue on this website when trying to access the client area.

I can click on the Client Area button, but if I click on the 'Client Area' again, I get a page 'Problem loading Page, too many redirects'.

Have you tried a different browser?  I can’t replicate this.
