Hi,
Just an observation, but the front page on the new look forum does take a while to load. Have you considered having the individual device sections load up 'collapsed' instead of 'expanded'. I would have thought this would speed it up considerably

Compact view? Doh, I didn't see that. It's much more browser friendly for me. Thanks.

I stumbled upon a feature in the Chrome browser that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere. I noticed that if there are multiple small links in a small area, if your finger may be hitting more than one link at the same time, it will give you a zoom bubble that will let you select the link easier. I have attached picture of it so you can see what I mean.
Also here's my mini review of the Chrome browser.
http://thesmartphonechamp.com/hands-on-demo-and-mini-review-of-new-chrome-browser-for-android-video/
From what I picked up on the forum Opera seems to have this as well.
But yeah I haven't seen this mentioned on many blogs/news sites.
I saw that when I was browsing this forum yesterday when I was selecting a page number. Pretty cool

Yeah that's how I came across it, through forum browsing. I like that feature a lot as it means now I don't have to zoom in to hit small links that are in between other links. Great move on the part of Google.
Google have actually documented that on their release post:
http://chrome.blogspot.com/2012/02/introducing-chrome-for-android.html
One of the biggest pains of mobile browsing is selecting the correct link out of several on a small-screen device. Link Preview does away with hunting and pecking for links on a web page by automatically zooming in on links to make selecting the precise one easier.

Opera would automatically zoom in when you hit an area with > 1 small links. It was quite convenient. But of course I've not found any browser other than stock suitable enough until now, convenient or not. It may be some form of unconscious Google bias but I'm with that.

I'm in a similar boat as you. Most of the time I've actually liked using Dolphin, yet for some reason every time I always wound up going back to the stock browser. It didn't matter what device I was using, I always wound up going back to the stock browser for whatever reason.
I don't know why but such useful browser feature doesn't really work on XDA-Developers forums. For example I see a itneresting new on the right side widget. I middle mouse button click it, but it won't open in a new tab, but instead it will open in the current tab just like I would left click it. I can give you numbers of similiar behaviours like that over the xda. That's really annoying.
Why is that happening and are you guys ever going to fix it?

Suggest you try an alternate browser.
Also try a fresh profile in case something in your current profile is the cause.
Its not working for me can you suggest me an other way ?
Does it still work correctly on other sites?
Not a Chrome user so can't really help with it.
General troubleshooting though. Try other sites. Try a clean profile.
Try other tools with the problem site.

It does work correctly on every other website. There's no "clean profile" option in chrome and I have no idea what do you mean by "other tools".
This issue happens with particular stuff, like the widget with the news on the right side of the thread view.

Are you using the new 2015 theme? I think there were one or two links on the old style which were like that, but it should be resolved now on the new style

Just middle button pressed "XDA PORTAL POSTS" news and it still opens up on the same tab. Even on 2015 / 2015 dark theme :/
I'd actually would prefer to use the old theme either way so I could use Dark XDA Stylish theme by @GermainZ as for me it looks much better. Just a presonal preference.

We had additional google analytics code on those links, my guess is that was blocking the open in new tab option. We made this change a long time ago so this must have been long-standing.
Well, since I posted in the wrong forum (figured XDA Assist meant "assistance with the XDA forum"... nope!), I'm reposting here.
I'm having an issue with the forum where I can't vote in polls or perform a search. If I attempt either action, as soon as I press the submit button, I'll immediately get a white page that says "429 Rate Limited" with the XDA header logo and the text (paraphrasing)

Could be a browser issue or modem/router issue?

No to the first question.
I'm using Edge for my browser. I've reset my modem and router twice (sb6121 modem, Asus rt-n66r)
Just got this error:
429 Rate Limited
Whoa there, hold your horses! We've detected a lot of requests coming from your IP and have rate limited you. Please check your configuration and try again.
Only me is using the computer right now. Nobody else is at home.
I have the same problem whilst trying to use the search functionality in a thread.
This is rather annoying as i don't want to look in over 100 pages one-by-one.

This can be caused by extensions or settings requesting pages in the background. This feature is called "prefetching" and requests links before you actually click on them. It's fast for user experience but hammers the server. You shouldn't be hitting the 429 rate limit unless there are a lot of requests coming to the server.
Me too, I only go to the forum a few times a day and get this error every time?
It's getting that way, it's not worth the effort.
Doesn't seem to be any fix for the issue, or, am I missing some thing?

Disable prefetching in your browser, this "feature" causes the browser to load a bunch of pages in the background. On a busy site like XDA we rate limit pages to prevent abuse, imagine if everyone loading a page actually loads 20 pages in the background.
Tried the 3 main browsers on my personal Windows 10 laptop, connected to my S9 hotspot. The problem happens on all 3 browsers when I try to download 1 file (CyanogenMod for Note 4 https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19462)
Tried my work laptop on my work's network connection, same error in both FFox & IE11 on Windows Server 2012.
Tried on 2 different T-Mobiles phones in the Chrome broswer - same error.
Seems like the "429 rate limit" is crap on XDA. I haven't been on this website in years - kinda sad to see such a silly configuration problem causing so much grief for users.
Anyone know a different source for the 2nd newest unofficial CM for the Verizon Note 4 (the latest release fails to boot - stuck on CM logo)? I really really want/need it. Thanks!

Quick update: Nevermind, I just kept trying and it eventually worked (on my work-network + FireFox).
Every time I log on here after a while not being on here I get the rate-limited screen.
I have the same issue as well.
same issue here too
Just registered and can't even change profile settings because of this.
The only reason I registered was to keep the dark theme applied across tabs. That's it.
Getting this too.

Me too... but only if I click one link too fast after the former one. My personal solution: I hold my horses! And then it doesn't happen any longer. Just about 3 - 5 seconds between the clicks are sufficient.

That's what I tried to do as well, but still kept getting the error. What started working now is if I open any of the forums and get the error, I just click on the reload button in the browser, than the page loads up. Everything seems to work though in the XDA forum app.
Hi. I noticed that for any thread I visit and try to go to any other page via the buttons, the page simply reloads. For example, in a thread, I want to see page 2 to see if there are new comments. I click the 2 in the page buttons (the one with numbers and arrows for previous/next page), then the page reloads and the 1st page is still shown. Same for any number I click on. Strangely, this doesn't happen when I click the "Last Page" button...
I'm assuming this is either a bug or something wrong on my end, but I don't know which.

Not the case here. Please refer to attached screenshots; file names show how fast the shots were taken i.e. pages also loaded very fast.
Maybe a browser issue on your side?
EDIT: Just tested via XDA Labs, too. No issues. Please refer to additionally added screenshots.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if it was site-wide or just me. I guess it's just me, but I don't know why. It could be my browser (I could try on another browser just in case).

Now I could be wrong here, but it appears that you are using the app (as it looks different from what I see using the website).
Regardless, the sections scrolling tab should be near the top of the main "Google Pixel 6 Pro" page here on XDA (just below the top page counter/selector).

Would make far more sense if I could click one of them to ignore as well though. I've no interest in rooting this phone so if I could ignore all development threads it would be better for me.
