Main site broken

Is anyone aware that the main site at http://www.xda-developers.com/ is broken? i.e. missing images.

All looks fine from my side.
If not logged in then some images don't display as attachments had to re-check as i was cached

Thanks.
I did forgot to log on, and once logged in the images works fine. But the HTML coding is a bit weird as some of them are out of alignments.
Using IE7 on XP.
Are you seeing the same thing too?

Edit: Can see what saying i use Firefox will contact admin

[Q] PDF - There was an error opening the document.

Hi, hope someone can help me with this, my new droid is unable to open my work email attachments, specifically PDFs.
When I click on view attachment adobe reader appears to load then I get an error message "There was an error opening the document." The same attachment opens fine on my PC and also my HTC HD2.
My ROM is completely unchanged, new phone today but my friends droid also seems to have the same problems. I noticed the PDFs are a different format from normal in that I can open it in a text reader and read as plain text, however as I said they work fine elsewhere.
An example PDF can be found here I have just removed sensitive information.
Any ideas?

any luck yet?
Hey
I've got the exact same problem. did you have any luck fixing it yet?
Please let me know if you know how to get around it!
thanks so much!

Have you try using a different pdf reader? Also you should copy the working pdf from your computer to your phone and see if it open properly first, it could be an faulty download.

I did try any PDF readers I could get my hands on with no luck.
To solve the problem I ended up writing a script on my home PC to access the mailbox, extract and re-encode the PDF back to standard format. Bit of a pain but it does the job.

Try using DocsToGo, it's not free though. Search it in the Android Market.

[Q] Facebook photo upload not working

Uploading photos to facebook does not work for me.
The behavior is the same both when selecting photo upload from the facebook app, or when chosing to share to facebook from the gallery.
The upload progress in statusbar looks good and finishes, but then an error message is displayed in the statusbar that the transfer failed.
When initiating the upload from facebook a "popup" mesage that the photo could not be added is also displayed.
I tried wipe facebook cache and data and reinstall the app but that didn't solve anything.
I'm on AOKP build25 & franco kernel 18.6.
Anyone else with the same problem?

Ok, so at least I'm not alone....
Good to know that the problem exist also on stock. I wasn't sure if I ever tested it before I flashed a custom rom.

Did you try clearing the app's cache? Logging back in and trying to upload a pic again?

Yes, I wiped cache and data and even reinstalled the app.

Facebook's app is the worst written in Android history. It isn't your fault- they just can't write an update without breaking something. It's a known issue.

Possible solution
It's maybe a little late to offer a solution, but today I finally found out what could be the problem:
I normally share my pictures with "All friends, except ... " (please excuse wrong translation; don't know how it's called in English) and all my picture uploads failed without exception. Today I wanted to share a picture with "All" my friends and... it work perfectly! I tried some more and it seems my problems are gone.
So my possible solution:
-> You have to share with "all", not with some groups or with excluded people. The Facebook App and mobile site is too stupid to work with its own lists.
When creating a new post, just tap the little gear in the lower right corner and select share with "all". It's no solution for pics you don't want to show everyone of course, but it's the only workaround that allows you to upload at all.

After trying a couple things, such as clearing the app data/cache, reinstalling the app from the market, etc. I suspect that this is related more to the APN settings on the phone. I tested this by switching the APN on my AT&T Galaxy Nexus from the Tweakker APN settings (failed to upload pics/videos) to the original CINGULAR 410 (works like a charm, although it takes forever to upload). For reference, the Tweakker settings had the APN as "phone".
Hope this helps.

So, did you read my post above? I'm almost sure it makes all the difference. Tested this with a couple of friends and it works for everyone.

it is enough to only have one list of selfmade friend list. U do not have to share to "all" but u can make list of friends that can see your pictures, call it for example "see mypic friends" and only have that in the . But if u share it to: "see mypic friends" and "mom and dad" at the same it fails

Unable to View Attachments in XDA Forum from Chrome Browser

I am unable to view attachment images/links in forum posts when viewing in the chrome browser. When i try to access the same page in another browser (Firefox), the attachments appears fine. I am not sure what the problem might be. I have AdBlock DISABLED. Also no other extension/plugin is active in the browser, to be causing the problem. Kindly suggest some remedial action. I am attaching screen shot of the problem below :

That's really weird. All I use is Google Chrome and I've never experienced that issue. In fact, I use Chrome on my Galaxy Tab 2 and don't have that issue either. Sorry, I have no suggestions to fix the issue either. All my plugins are enabled too.

Try to refresh the page. If that doesn't work, clear your cache and cookies.

10x for the reply but i've tried that already and it didnt work
I did find the solution though... it was the uncertified scripts that chrome says the site uses...
chrome gives you a shield icon on the right side of the address bar, i clicked it and chose to "load unsafe script" and it worked.

Now here is my problem. I have cleared the caches and history as well. But at first time, it shows like I have entered wrong Id & password & simultaneously, I am logged in to XDA. For brief info, please look into the Attachment.

From that screenshot I see you are trying to visit https://www.xda-developers.com; it should be http://www.xda-developers.com (non-ssl http). The CSS script on our CDN doesn't have a certificate which is why you received that error.

That seems strange. Does it give you that error on other pages of the site?
