This was originally posted up by XDA member 'fred_up' in Q&A, but it really should have gone in here, to draw the attention of those who can have a look at it.
The autoview of images in posts seems to be broken. When clicking on image icons within a post, one gets stuck in a dark grey box, with no image visible and no [X] to close it. It's the back button or bust, right out of the thread.
We are both in the UK on XP and IE8, for what it is worth.
Sample image attached in post #2 of the original thread below. To see it, if you get the same problem when trying to view it, right click the image then 'Open in New Tab'.

Do the System Mods have any ideas? Thanks.
+100000000000000000000 for this, Please fix. Im in Canada and have the same issue. Shouldnt matter though...
not sure if this is the site or my browser, but when I used to view pics in threads it brought up a picture viewer with forward & back buttons on top of the forum. Now when I view pics it goes to a whole new web page showing just the picture and I have to hit "back" to get back to the thread...?

Yea, there was a few issues wit the "lightbox" system. It's on the list of things to be looked at by the server admin, so images will appear in their own windows for now.

I'm finding it rather frustrating to use the Opera browser. It seems to be impossible to click links when zoomed out and looking at most or all of the page.
To click links I first have to zoom right in by double tapping, then I am able to tap links OK.
Any way to change this? It's highly annoying because there's no reason why I shouldn't be able to follow links when zoomed out. And it's not a size issue, because large buttons don't work either.
It's doubly stupid because I can in fact click them. tapping them sometimes changes their colour as if they have been followed, and if I tap-hold them then I get the menu on which I can open them in new tab. So there's no issue acgually selecting links, it just wont't follow them except on full zoom.
There's another thread for this with a solution as to how to make them clickable...
don't have the link at hand sorry, but a bit of searching should turn it up
hi ,

Hello all- I was not sure if this was the right section to post this but here goes;
I recently deleted some temporary internet files, etc.. on my laptop and now when I go onto the XDA.. forum the dropdown menu which let me go from sub forum to sub forum within the site has disappeared.
I mean the dropdown menu on the lower right of any page you're on.
Is there a setting somewhere I have to use ?
It's a pain to navigate within XDA now as I have to go back to the homepage to get to any sub forum.
Any ideas ?
Cheers for any help, LL13-
It's gone I guess. You're browser was using an older cache of the site. The updated site doesn't have that feature.
Are you using the Yellow or Brown theme?
EDIT: I'm guessing the brown one, the "Devices by OS and Manufacturer" doesn't work for me on Chrome 12 (ish)

Flagged to the admins, looks like some other mods are having problems with that menu too.
OK well cheers for the information everyone, it seems I may have to live with it for now anyway. I have simply saved the main thread page of each of the sub forums I visit as favourites and just visit them individually, not a big issue.
For the record I am using the 2010 theme, I have switched between both in hopes of regaining the dropdown menu but no luck.
* On a lighter note, DaveShaw I laughed at your avatar as I love Yorkshire tea. I am usually going for the norrmal Yorkshire as opposed to the gold but it's not easy to find here and when you do it's pricey but worth every cent !
Cheers, LL13-
Any progress on this being fixed . It sure is a major PITA to navigate around .
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.
Maybe I'm missing something... I can't find any threads mentioning a change to the site... but I just refreshed my page and now the entire forum has a completely different look....a very bland grey theme.
I know I didn't change anything...and no one else seems to be mentioning this..?
Ideas?
NM: Just found this:
http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/xda-2015-forum/
I dont like the new design... imho its much worse than before.
Go to Settings > Edit Options > Forum Skin (very last choice). Now you can select the skin that was shown yesterday (XDA 2013)
We're testing a new theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/about-xda/official-xda-2015-forum-template-bugs-t2887442
it was accidentally set for everyone yesterday for a short time, which is why you saw it change.
I just noticed it today and I personally don't like it. I never once complained about this site and ive been coming to XDA since 2009, but this new format sucks. I always come to XDA on my Android and I must add the new format is NOT mobile friendly. I don't like the sticky/glued top bar because like many of those mobile sites out there... the top bars stay stuck in one spot and enlarge while you try to zoom in & view the rest of the page.... thus it starts blocking page content. I am NOT a fan of glued top/side bars for this reason. I also had trouble logging in because the login box kept disappearing if I moved the page just a pinch.
The split panes on the right side are also buggy. Sometimes they get stuck and overlap on the forum content when I zoom out. :/
Please read the thread I linked to above, and post any issues there.
or you can return to the old theme if you don't like the new one.
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).

It's not just you. The site is basically unusable for me too. Firefox on Android.
EDIT: Didn't see that this was an old thread, my forums are really messed up. My bad.
This should be fixed now. Let me know if it isn't.
