I’m not sure what’s caused this all the sudden, but I am no longer to open the sites bookmark without a 500 error.
I’m able to get on it fine on normal Safari, but the bookmark feature will do that whenever I launch it.

I’ve been getting this recently on mobile when opening /categories yesterday and earlier this morning but I haven’t encountered the error again yet today (touch wood)

i suspect the team must be aware and doing something atm. i’m getting errors in mobile Safari iOS on a number of Meta pages, including category homepage and some topic list filter pages.
cannot repro any on my forum either.

It seems to only happen for logged-in users on mobile view (sending a request with cURL and a mobile user-agent doesn’t get an error)

Adding on to that, mobile view causes 500 errors on the categories page, #announcements, Documentation, and #plugin at minimum. I’d check more, but that’s all in the default sidebar that seems to be an issue.

Someone reported a similar thing yesterday as well, but I couldn’t repro. 
Has everyone tried a refresh?

I’ve closed out of the app and reopened, same issue.

I can reproduce the issue on mobile view, with and without reloading. I wonder why /categories.json fails to load, but only on mobile view…

Yep. A refresh typically seems to result in the “the software powering this forum had an error” page, and opening from within discourse just results in a 500 error. Using desktop view is fine, it’s just mobile view for some reason. Is there any plugin or theme component enabled across the categories I mentioned that could be causing an issue?
Does it occur in safe mode?
It does. I suppose it’s not a plugin then.

Okay, I can repro. 
I have logged in as a non-staff account and I’m seeing a similar thing. Let me see what I can find out.
Just for clarity:
- Viewing #announcements and Documentation from the sidebar
- Viewing
/categories
I can’t seem to repro the initial report of the bookmarks though.
These are on Safari, and also Android/Chrome.

Im getting the same error, too, but it has something to do with today’s updates. not just on meta but my forum also has the same issue

@Lilly could you check if it works if you sign-in on Chrome? IIRC someone on a different forum earlier said it’s fine when you’re logged out. I can still replicate the issue while signed in on Chrome mobile (Android).

Does this also sort out your bookmark issue @darkpixlz?
