Default Weird "Bad Request " error using MS Edge

I am finding that recently I've been getting a "Bad Request" error whenever I attempt to browse the forums using MS Edge. The error I get is:

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Size of a request header field exceeds server limit.


This seems to have started happening very recently, and as near as I can tell only happens with the MS Edge browser. If I connect to one of the forums things will work fine, but if I then click a link to another forum I'll get the error. It seems that once I get the error, it will continue to error until I restart Edge -clicking on any link (i.e. a forum topic) or button at that point generates the error until I restart the browser. .I am running MS Edge version 44.17763.1.0

As near as I can tell this only seems to happen with This forum. I can't seem to find any other site where this happens. Bizarre.

You need to clear the browser's cookies.

Because each site generally uses their own, multiple, cookies this issue generally only occurs to one site at a given time. One of the CorvetteForum cookies in your browser is corrupt and thus needs cleared.
