Bug when posting? - About xda-developers.com

I've noticed that sometimes after I post a reply on a thread, the browser is forever "waiting".
If I stop the loading of the page and refresh it again gets stuck.
If I stop the loading and GO BACK (i.e. to the page as was before I posted) I get the page and IS updated with my post.
...well not my post, because usually this "getting stuck" happens when the new post is going to a new page. So with this "go back and refresh" I get the last page BEFORE my post (because my post is starting a new thread page), but there is a link for an extra page (for example I am at p. 25 and there is a new p. 25).
I hope I am getting through: The bug mostly (if not always) happens when a new thread reply makes the thread add a page.
Anybody noticed this?
I use Firefox (latest) and doesn't happen on just one machine.

Same here but not always, a few times per week
I´m using the latest Opera

Problems with THIS website???

Hi there, I've been having a few problems navigating this web-site.
When I want to re-edit a wiki post that I added a couple of weeks ago, I get a 'Page not found' error when I hit the EDIT button, even though the page can be viewed.
Also, when searching for something, sometimes I also get the 'page not found'
Also, when searching, if I get a lot of results (more than a page worth), the first page displays all hits, then when I click page 2, 3.... etc. it says 'no matches to your criteria' or somthing like that.
HELP MEEEEE?!?? :shock:
Maybe this is the problem : Using IE 6.0.2900
The wiki error is a know one and has been reported but I for one have read nothing about it.
The site is under going an upgrade so the search problem could come from there.
UPDATE
Wiki probelm has been solved (well its thought it has), info out of the moderators section.
Please confirm
Hi there,
Checked everything (edit, search, links that did not work before).
Everything seems to work fine now!
Thanks!
check this out...

I've noticed that when there are tables in the Wiki, the fields are not all there? Is this post incomplete (there seem to be a lot of tables like this)?
In my browser, there are a lot of empty cells, and like 1 in 50 has some text in it.
Or did I happen upon another bug?
Thanks

Changing the display/print order of forum messages

Hi moderators... sorry if this is a 'noobie' question, but I couldn't find anything in the Wiki or FAQ's for the site. (just point me, if I missed it...)
Is there a way I can consistently get a forum thread to display in linear mode starting from message 1 and showing the last message on the last page? It works sometimes for me that way (most notably with older threads), but on newer ones, it seems to always show the latest message on the first page (and the first on the last page.)
Also, when I try to 'print this thread', it always goes in reverse order (most recent message first). Is there anyway to switch this to oldest first?
Many thanks.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click on UserCP on the top left had corner of the page (the horizontal menu a the top). Go into Edit Options - Thread display options- Linear - Oldest first.
I'm sorry to re-animate this old thread... but I was just searching some info on how to print a thread and I found only this.
Am I wrong or there isn't anymore a "Print this thread" option/button??
I'm on IE11...
Thank you!

Notifications

The links in my email notifications often takes me somewhere in the middle of a thread, instead of to the last post (regardless if I use my computer or my G1).

puts me in the middle of the thread - but only on first attempt! Now that I try it, it takes me to the last post. Might have to do something with how Google handles links in GMail

Hi Mats,
It takes you to the first post after you last read the thread. If that post happens to be in the middle of the page, you will be taken there. When you click the link the second time, it assumes you have read all the entries on that page. So, if there is a another page (after the one you just read), it will take you to the top of that page.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Dave

Chrome does not go to pages beyond the first page

Recently in one of my computers, when I browse XDA forum, Chrome does not allow me to go to pages beyond the first page. If you look at the attached snapshot, it shows the tree of conversation, but won't let go to any other pages. I don't know how to close this setting so I can go back to my normal use.
Thanks in advance!
That formatting looks a little weird. Is it still like that for you now?
Does it happen on all browsers? Can you post the link for the page it's happening on.

"Subscriptions" link now points to "register"

Got a bit of a weird one to report here. It appears that anytime one clicks on the "subscriptions" link, (forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php) it automatically directs to the registration page (https://forum.xda-developers.com/register.php?from=permissions). This is the page that is linked to from the "quick links" at the top.
In the meantime, I've found a workaround: https://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription links to the subscription page as well as the original did.
Just thought I'd report this problem so that it doesn't confuse other folks.
Fixed!
Looks like it's working now. Whatever you did, it worked. :good:
