[support] Any clues... ?q is now ?e

[Steve Kessler]

This is just a guess but I have seen e used as the letter for a missing
character in a set. Did you install transliteration or  any module for
language support. Another idea could it be the .htaccess file on the server
being affected by the language used on the server. 

Thanks,
Steve

Don't know about the ?e unless some character translation in your  
browser client.  This Page not found error can happen for reasons  
beyond Drupal's control such as a malformed settings.php file or a  
contrib module.

What version of Drupal?

Firstly, clear the cache and sessions tables as well as the browser  
cookies.  You may want to even try with a different browser brand.

Secondly, you might want to deactivate the optional contrib modules.   
You may even need to Uninstall them.  Backup your DB first.  If  
deactivating a module resolves the issue then open an issue for the  
module at http://drupal.org/project/issues.  Else it is time for more  
debugging.
