I notice that the forums don't load after I post... and that it doesn't update my thread views like normal... for instance it tells me a thread is new even though I have already seen it.
Anything change in the past couple weeks?

I get this sometimes. To Fix it:
Log out and clear all your cookies (even though log out tell's you they are all cleared). If you using Firefox 3, click the Icon to the left of the address bar, the click More Information, Security Tab, View Cookies, and remove any remaining.
Somethings have changed, but this problem occured before and after the changes for me.

I noticed I am not being sent to redirection pages... I think this is part of the issue... I will PM Flar
I sometimes get this. Often hitting refresh seems to fix the problem.
I'm getting the message on my Treo, something along the lines: 'a script causing device slow may become unresponsive'
Testing to see if I still get the white screen
Yep still getting them

testing again
Works perfect now... can we delete all my posts LOL
ahhhh, I was already PM'ing with neoobs whilst dave was nice enough to relay all of this in the mod forum , if no-one objects in the next 24hrs, can I close the thread?
Thanks for all your help guys
Greetz,

Hrm, big bump in the road:
the thing causing the quick reply function not to work properly is a google ad. I removed it because I thought that it was an old, incorrectly working ad on the wrong location. But it turns out it's our ad hack that supplies us with 2/3's of our monthly income.
Now let me get this very straight: we are not in this to get rich, the current ad income is enough to keep xda-dev running but losing 2/3 to gain a correctly working quick reply function, will get us into serious money problems very soon.
So the only thing I can do at the moment is break the quick reply function and enable the ads, whilst searching feverishly for a better solution.
I'm well aware of vbulletin.org so I will be searching my ass of there, and try every possible solution they have, but untill the time comes where I've found a working ad solution, I hope you can all avoid the quick reply function.
I'm very sorry to have to make decision, but I hope you can all see that this the lesser of 2 problems.
Best regards,
Flar
we understand you Flar, though im lazy to press the "post reply" button..but i can handle it

Ditto to that LOL or for me I just forget that there is a problem and post and then hope that it really goes through and my long rant wasn't lost forever LOL
Hello, i have been having a problem of whenever i go to apps such as opera, album, or watching a video i would get this block on the top left corner of my screen, and it doesnt go away unless u soft reset. is this a common bug that can be fixed. I am using spike's 6.1 taskbar update 2 if that helps. Here is the screenshot.
it doesnt look as obvious on this picture, but when i watch videos, it is really frustrating, please help me deal with this problem :[
EDIT: i have found the fix on another post. You can delete/close this thread now :]
whats the fix? i got the same problem in opera! lol
I have the same issue from time to time.. Can u please post the fix...?
Would I be right in assuming that you are all using FingerKeyboard? This looks identical to an issue I saw when using it. It was fixed by changing the following settings:
In fingerKeyboard options tab, change Portrait and Landscape settings to "Show Bar"
That solved it for me.
what wiggz posted is the fix lol. assuming you guys r using fingerkeyboard :]

So did this fix the issue for you then?
It's a well known issue in FingerKeyboard - look in FK-Thread Post #1
Not solved yet
yes it did. it was really funny, cuz right after i posted this thread, i just searched the forum and immediately found the fix lol
Not sure if anyone else is running into this, but lately any thread I open on XDA is PAINFULLY slow. Scrolling is unresponsive for a long time. In my status bar in Chrome it says that the site is waiting on www.facebook.com to load..
Loading individual forums seems to work just fine. It's only threads that this happens in.
Is anyone else running into this? What is going on here??
EDIT: When the hell was the Facebook Like button introduced? I blocked the widget via the WidgetBlock Chrome Extension and now speed is back to normal.
Horribly poor implementation, I can't possibly be the only one who experienced this.
+1 10charr
not sure. Becoming more happy I joined with the old style forum that doesn't have thank or like buttons...
thanks for the link, solved my issues
I was coming to this forum to complain
fixed my slowdown issues with androidcentral as well
I just noticed the "Like" button myself. Thank for the link to remove it.
Are we going to be seeing +1 buttons shortly as well?

If +1 buttons come to XDA, don't worry, because that Chrome extension I posted was already updated to block that too
I was having the same issue and have removed the while <li> that contained the button with AdBlock in Chrome for now.
I have PM'd svetius with a link to this thread.

Not really, since it's technically a google user blocking google, not google itself.
So this is a pretty weird problem here.... I've noticed that whenever I'm browsing these forums on my Note 3 (it also seemed to happen sometimes on the sgs3 as well) I will run into this problem. What happens is when I go to a page that lists threads or forums, so a device's main page, the main forum page, or a forum itself, the page loads fine but when I actually try to interact, be it zoom in so that I can see things easier, or scroll down, or even click a search box, the whole page will begin to reload. Then once reloaded, half the time I can use the page without it happening again (all though hardly ever on the sgs3) and the other half of the time it would just happen again. The only way to keep it from happening that I found is to simply load the page, then when I go to interact with it I just do so near the top of the page so that if the thing starts to reload then I can quickly tap on the x button to stop it. If I do this then it won't bother me again like that on that page. I can scroll or type or whatever. But as soon as I go to another forum, device page, or even the next page of the same forum, the same thing , will happen.
Does anyone know why this is happening and any way to correct it? Is it an issue with chrome itself, as this only seems to happen on chrome, but my issue there is that I like chrome abd o especially like the way my bookmarks settings and passwords are shares across my own personal devices. So any ideas to fix this? It's driving me nuts! Oh and yes I know I could use the app but I'm just not that fond of it. I've even bought the premium one to support the forum a little but I'd just rather use the browser. Thanks for any help....I'm sure some others are experiencing this issue.

Using stock browser on my Note 10.1 it does this every time I try to use the XDA search. Havent tried it on my N3 though.
Anyone know how come the N3 stock browser acts like Chrome when you zoom? I cant figure out how to have the text format to the page either.

I shut off Java on the mobile chrome browser and this issue stopped.
I like having java though that's such a limiting way to deal with the problem
Where is this button Tony it's talking about? I don't remember seeing any buttons hardly in chrome.....
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yep happens to me too. I can't stand it. I find Firefox works best. It never refreshes like that.
Yea every other browser works fine except chrome it Is stupid as all get out.... what can be done to fix it I don't want to stop using Chrome because I use the bookmarks all the time etc.... it's just much easier for me to use Chrome for like 99 percent of the stuff that I do.... so any ideas? What is this auto reload feature that one guy was talking about? I've never heard of or seen it anywhere in chrome...has anyone else?
Far left bottom corner there is option to change for styles, change that to a previous one and it will stop

You'd think a site dedicated to mobiles would make the default be something that doesn't bork a major mobile browser...
They do , it's called the xda app lol

Thanks....at least that fixes it.... though you lose a couple features I guess it is what it is until they fix it that is.....
Thanks for the workaround. I also bought the premium app and i feel ripped off because it is really, really bad.
They should not activate a default setting that is bugged on a browser most users browse these forums with!
I'm experiencing a strange issue with XDA and it's forums. I'll click the XDA forum link on my bookmark bar (Chrome or Opera) and I will be auto logged in, so that's great. But if I click to go to any different page in XDA, it keeps re-logging me back in instead of remembering that I just did that.
Does anyone know a fix for this as it's quite annoying.
Thank you
Do you allow cookies by XDA?

I have already reported this issue on December 13th directly to the admins, I didn't get any answer, so I bumped the report internally just now. I will let you know if they answer.
Thank you for that Wood Man.

They replied to me this below:
That's a limitation of our API...everytime you load a page, it has to "reach out" to our API to figure out if you have new notifications. But the team here says they're working on a fix to store this info locally so there is no delay :highfive:

Thanks for the follow up. Did they mention if this was a new thing as I have only started to experience this issue a few weeks back. But all through last year, this wasn't a problem, I'd log in and it would not ask me again unless I logged myself out.

They didn't mention it but I can assure you it started when the new header has been updated for 2015 themes. I have tested and this login issue doesn't exist with other xda themes, e.g. 2013 theme.
Edit: the new forum header has been changed for 2015 themes at the very beginning of December (around December 5th)
Same here... Logging in all the time. Very annoying.

XDA get you get this fixed.. I hated this annoying bug! It annoys me to the max.
Edit: disabling Pricavy Badger & uBlock didn't fix it.
I think you should completely wipe out your browser history and delete cookies too. Re-launch your browser and check. It should be working fine.
Does anyone solve this problem?

Then you might have to re-install the Browser. Make sure to save your bookmarks in a file first.
I also have this problem and can confirm that changing the theme from 2015 Dark to 2013 fix the annoying "Redirecting..." issue.
Hope that it will be fixed for the Dark theme, too, because 2013' looks so old now!

This issue should be now fixed for 2015 theme. At least it's now OK on my end.
Yes, I can confirm that the issue seem fixed.
