Adverts "pulling" page downwards

Have noticed this for the last few days using IE6 at work.
When reading the forums the page jumps to the Google Ad at the bottom, which means I have to scroll back up to the where I was.
Anyone else noticing this with IE6 or other browsers?

Have noticed this as well on IE7.
I thought it was just me.

I am using Opera 9.63, this did not happen for me. Sure its not something else doing the trick ?

Nope only happens on this site. Think it's linked to the new type of Google ad which www.Swoopo.co.uk are running.

I can confirm this too, IE 7 Windows XP SP2, thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
I'm looking to see what I can find...
Where's neoobs when I need him.

Funny, just to check, just tried IE 7.0.5730.11, did not happen for me!

Very funny! Tried Dave's Link, did not happen for me this time also, I don't know could be because of slow internet connection, Prehistoric PC (P4 2.0 Gig )! No idea! But funny all the same, and thank GOD!

Pretty sure it the one ad which is doing it, I've tried to contact Google to see if they can sort it out. The other option is for the Google Ad Admin of the site to block ads from www.Swoopo.co.uk
Guessing for those outside of the UK won't have the issue as Google change the ads depending on which country you are in.

That must be the reason! Both you guys are from UK. And actually we have ads on top of the page (big bum me !) unlike yours (bottom of page)

all ok here
im having no problems here in birmingham @ home and work is fine

Firefox 3.0.5 and IE 6/7/8 beta are all working OK here is the US.
Add'l Info:
Tested on Vista Utimate x64 SP1 and XP SP2.

This is driving me mad, clicking on the link for the newest post just doesn't work with these ads as it moves the page.
Can anyone who has the Google Adsense admin add www.Swoopo.co.uk to the blacklist.

Thanks

Cheers, luckly the issue doesn't affect me with Firefox which I've got at home.

Retweet button not working?

Wanted to try the ReTweet button you see on each thread and post, but when i click it, it takes me to a blank pages saying:
An error occurred

Edit: Tried with Firefox, Chrome, IE and Opera all 4 gives the same message as above. This is on Win7 64bit if that has anything to do with it.

Okay good to know, It's probably not working for anyone at the moment then. Hopefully it will be fixed.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Here working well: Opera 10.60, Win7 32bit

Hm, i've tried Firefox, IE and Chrome all three give the same message. Gonna install Opera and check. But anyway, there must be some kind of problem with the feature, can't be right that it should only work on Opera?
Edit: Nope, not working in Opera either here. Don't suppose there is on option in my User CP here on the board i must enable or something?

We're trying to fix - it has to do with the Twitter API we're using. Thanks for the note!

Ah great, looking forward to when it's fixed =)

Anyone Else Not Seeing Attached Thumbnails??

I don't know why but all of a sudden, within the last few days, I can't see attached thumbnails, on any browser I try on my computer for this site.
Everything is updated, this is a custom built super 'puter! lol

If you turn off NoScript, do you see them?
Try to allow *.xda-developers.com for your Javascript.

I'll give that a shot. Oddly, sometimes if I refresh the page they show up... sometimes

I also can't see any attachments for any threads. I noticed this about 2 weeks ago (or so). I figured it was just me but I see that it is still happening. I'm using Chrome.

I'm having the same problem, also using Chrome. Anybody figure out a fix for this?
Edit:
AdBlockPlus was doing it

Thanks geniustheanimal.
I added forum.xda-developers.com to the whitelist in Adblock Plus and now it works!

But Firefox won't show bbcode explicitly to edit.
I mean when you quote a post with image.. it won't give image link.. but it will show image itself.. ie acts the same way:banghead::banghead:
I tried settings.. but couldn't find how to make it show bbcode

Disable wysiwyg in xda settings and you'll be able to see those, also there's a toggle button to switch the editor mode in ffox when posting a reply. That's the plus side of using something other than chrome, wysiwyg does not work on chrome without an extension. I prefer chrome though.

If I am not mistaken that problem exists only when we set xda to "xda 2013 beta" format at the bottom. I think all other display formats, including "xda 2013 beta-1024", work okay.

Yup it happens only with the 2013 theme, i don't use the 1024 version. Also switching between themes when that happens will temporarily fix it. But it's a pita to do that always.

Been unable to rate threads recently

It was working fine a couple of months ago but for the past few weeks I've been unable to rate any thread. I've tried different browsers but clicking on the stars or the down arrow on the right doesn't do anything. I know a few others are having the same issue. Are there newly added requirements for you to rate a thread, like when you registered or how many posts you have? Thanks in advance!

Are you able to check your web browser console to see if there is any error message?
I did just change to jQuery 1.10.1 last night, so I'm curious if this "fixed" it for you.
Also try to clear all of your browser cache to see if that helps.

Tried clearing cache but that didn't help. I did see a bunch or error messages related to XDA in the web console of Firefox. Do I need to post that here? I cleared the log and only opened the xda thread but the error messages are still a few pages long.

I'm not able to rate this thread either. chrome Version 27.0.1453.110 m, windows xp.

First I thought that the ability was taken away from OP of the threads but then realised that was not the case. Tried Firefox, Chrome and Safari. But no luck in doing so.

I'm using FireFox v17.0.6 (need for my work) > no thread rating.
It's since few days ... maybe a week or so.
Sorry for not reporting earlier as I thought that it could be because of my out-dated FireFox version.
Tested now in Opera 12.15 > no thread rating.
And Internet Explorer 8.0 > no thread rating.
EDIT:
Error Console in FireFox gives several warnings, e.g.:
Warning: Unknown property 'user-select'. Declaration dropped.

DevDB uploader broken?

Is the DevDB uploader broken right now? I've been trying to upload a new build of my ROM for a few hours and every time it fails at the verification step. Not sure where to post this kind of thing but this seems like the most appropriate place; if not, feel free to move my post. Thanks!
Edit: took a look at the javascript console and it seems like the torrent creation script is throwing a 500 error, if that helps at all.

Hi iofthestorm
Found the same behaviour on my thread (not DevDB).
I've noticed that 500 is raised over attachments (images too) only when using desktop browsers. Control panel shows my attachment but it's not accessible. Tested with: Crhome, FireFox and IE ... logged and as anonymous ... same 500.
But, browsing the same thread with xda-app shows up perfectly.
Weird!

Thanks for the feedback guys. Had an issue on the devdb file server the other day and it looks like when things came back up the MySQL server didn't start properly which prevented new uploads. This is now fixed and I've tested it, so let me know if you still see any issues with it.

This is a separate issue - it seems like the thumbnail wasn't created properly, but if you click on the file the actual attachment was created properly. I'm going to do some testing to see what is causing that problem.

Testing attachments... should be good to go now.
Edit: Yup - everything good. Let me know if you have any other issues with attachments.

I redid the downloads server a week or so ago, there are some new security measures in place and that is probably what caused the not-authorized error for you. I just downloaded one of your old files and re-uploaded it without issue. Can you let me know what browser you are using, or if there are any extensions that might be blocking in?

Thanks, the plugins are probably doing it. I use unbranded FireFox (IceWeasel) with the NoScript plugin (although xda has been allowed for a long time - I may need to whitelist something else, or use Chromium/Chrome).
UPDATE: it appears that Chrome is handling uploading fine (Chromium was a bust due to the lack of Shockwave Flash support, as the Upload button was dead). Is there a predictable server for the authorization I could whitelist back in IceWeasel - that way I don't have to switch browsers? (Seems that the authorizing server loads at the last moment, preventing me from determining it's name.)
