I don't know what was wrong, but restarting news seems to have fixed it. Whatever it was may have only affected logged in users, which may be why our auto-restarter didn't notice anything was wrong.

Don't know if it helps but it only affected pages where the logged in user info appeared in the top right.

The submit page was working all through (even when logged in).

I was just having the problem but it magically went away.

Using http://hackerne.ws/news worked for me.

Because the cookie is different and you would have been logged out. And PG just restarted it, making it magically go away. That's why he's our hero :D

It might also not help, but for me, in the last hour at least accessing HN returned an empty response from the server, no errors, just no output at all.

now is ok, that this problem is caused by a proxy based on cookie auth?

I could modify comments during that time as well

Pretty sure it was just magic. I don't like no actual explanations to things.

Same problem here. I managed to get in using incognito mode on Chrome. Edit - never mind, it doesn't really work. As soon as I try to get back to the front page after a cookie has been set I get the same problem.

Same thing happened to me. I thought pg whacked me with the banhammer.
