Sidebar is all messed up.

Voting on askubuntu.com is completely broken. Each time I try to press the vote buttons on questions, answers and comments, I get an error:

An error has occurred - please retry your request.
(click on this box to dismiss)

Using Firebugs netpanel, I found out that the vote request is not properly processed.

https://askubuntu.com/posts/2636/vote/2 gets redirected to https://askubuntu.com/error?aspxerrorpath=/posts/2636/vote/2.

This behavior was first observed while trying to vote on What is the difference between Network Manager and 'ifconfig' 'ifup', etc?. Voting does still work on stackoverflow.com.

Comments

Cleared my cache, to no avail. Could it be related to a programming error that caused the sidebar being messed up? Are you able to vote? I can't even submit a comment.


Clearing single __qca, ubuntuuser or all cookies didn't help. Changing the User-Agent string to Google Chrome using User Agent Switcher does not change the situation.


Although Google Chrome works, with the same User-Agent string and cookies from meta.askubuntu.com and askubuntu.com cleared, the bug does still exist. The used User-Agent string is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/10.10 Chromium/9.0.597.45 Chrome/9.0.597.45 Safari/534.13.
