Please remove the force IE8 tag from the site. It is making a lot of features go a bit crazy. The edit box cursor does not like to move over in some cases. Also IE9 keeps saying that it is blocking some javascript to prevent cross domain scripting. I think there is a rogue advertisement or something.
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=8" />
Why are you still using Internet Explorer?

Why are you trolling? There is nothing wrong with Internet Explorer.
No seriously. I'm not trolling. I'm genuinely asking why you are still on IE. Is there a specific reason? i'm asking because basically every other browser is better (UI, user experience, security)wise.
Because from a security standpoint Internet Explorer 9 is safer than the other browsers. Do some research into SSL spoofing on firefox as well as cross site scripting attacks.
Alright! Another IE9 brother.
And we've sent this up the chain to our server admin.

Chrome? Too used to it already
I use IE mostly for compatibility, I know, sounds strange but most of the important sites I go to work best in IE.
Otherwise I use firefox which is nearly as good in that respect and better in others.
Chrome I found to be a huge resource hog, and Opera often fails to display pages properly, either getting the layout wrong or failing to show images hosted on my webserver used in my sig.
Although unlikely, our server admin is testing this right now to make sure it doesn't break any other versions of IE.

Currently using mango beta and i still cannot connect to hidden SSID. Whats the deal? will it be supported in final build... I like my wifis.
That's really because hidden SSIDs do not increase your security. They were never designed to be hidden. Here's a nice article about it:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/2865...hiding-your-wireless-ssid-really-more-secure/
EDIT: to clarify: I loathe hidden SSIDs. They are a pain to connect to and can possibly be a greater risk. They serve no purpose in my book.
I am not saying they do increase security, but the wifi at my work does not show the SSID and i do not have the ability to change that. Not sure why microsoft chooses to leave this out. Seems like such a simple thing to change.
There's an app for HTC devices to connect to hidden WiFi in the market place.
was, there isn´t anymore...
using samsung focus anyways... =(

Your two sentences contradict each other,
so a) should the OP shoot his admin or b) should MiSFiTs support it?

Both, unfortunately. I have yet to see an AP which doesn't include the option to hide the SSID. As long as AP manufacturers allow such a functionality, even though it violates the standard, WiFi clients must support it.
The fact that SSID hiding should NEVER be used is a different matter altogether.

I use Omnia 7 with WP7 Engineering ROM from samfirmware and it support hidden SSID (maximum 3 hidden SSID)
I think the mango support it, but must be enabled by hardware vendor

Today Firefox decided not to let me edit one of my larger posts. When I selected edit, it came up blank. Nadda, nothing. Also tried to edit another one and it no longer does WYSIWYG.
Am I missing something new?
Also I can't really use Chromium to edit either because it doesn't support WYSIWYG at all. And when I pasted my newly edited thread content in, I lost all my hyperlinks...:silly:
I'm going to install Chrome to see how that fairs...
Edit: Tried Windows Firefox and Chrome also with no results either. Guess I'll just have to keep my post small and simple....
Hi
I am on Xubuntu 64 bit running firefox from unpack bz2 rather than from repo.
Also unpack is on its own data partition so I can image using fsarchiver.
try right hand clicking the edit button and there should be an option to "inspect element"
post that element when you can.....maybe there is a little fault in the javascript?

Actually it's too late to check. I got frustrated and cut most of the content out and put it in a text file for anyone needing the information. It was mostly background stuff anyway. I think there is a character limit, but it doesn't give a character count, so you just end up finding out when it happens.

Ok as a work-a-round on your next big post
prepare it on Linux text editor
show the format as ....but change img to u r l with no gaps....my post count too low to show it

good luck
Sounds strange, haven't heard of this. Check which plugins you have installed, I have seen some block proper editing. If you have the issue again, check to see if you can inspect with Chrome or FF to see where the mistake might be coming in.

Pretty much I want the app for it to have users or students in this case register make a username and password and then just for it to be forum kind of style where users can create threads and also for it to have a messaging system incase someone is selling a book both users can communicate with each other. the thing is i have no idea where to begin if anyone can show me a step by step or just a summuray on what to do to make this.

Buy domain from namecheap, hosting from dreamhost. Use phpbb as forum software (completely FREE) or vBulletin. Start a web forum, install Tapatalk plugin. Share link.
Tada! No programming at all.

This may sound like a good solution but it becomes complex for the user when they have to use forum software. I am not sure you have can limit functionality with Tapatalk. OP is trying to create an application that is simple and includes his/colleges branding. Another problem is using Tapatalk since it's a generic application and you can't rebrand it for his college or niche group. I know it looks like OP is trying to redesign the wheel but I think he's trying to do it in a way that makes it more efficient and, in a way, more useful for users.
@OP
I am quite new to Android dev and I learning by using "Google: Android developer basics" (I can't post links since I have < 10 posts) I am not sure if it's the best way but I think it would be a good place to start.
Quick one please. Which hosting provider did you choose here if I may ask?

Hello,
I have problem with xda-developers from one weak. Before that forum work great.
Maybe problem is only on IE, because on Mozilla and Chrome it's OK.
I open forum from work with IE 11 and look the same
Any ideas how to fix it?
Only on IE 11 forum look like that:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"about a week ago, the site basically broke using IE 11 on a PC with lots of script errors related to "console"
the script errors have subsided but the site is unusable in IE11 .
Chrome, fine, but not IE"
@svetius
I was going to post this.
Can also confirm this on IE11 on Windows 10.
Both Chrome and Edge can load the page just fine. IE used to work so a recent change messed it up.
Any information?
I pinged svetius, but he did not reply.
Maybe @MikeChannon can say more.
Thanks. :fingers-crossed:

Does this still happen?
still not good on ie 11
@bitpushr
It still happens.
Using IE11 the website appears all messed up.
Not the XDA Website but just the forums.
Opening the Programmer Tools (F12) shows that even though the HTTP Header requests the page to be rendered in "Edge" mode the page actually gets rendered in IE7 mode instead.
Changing <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"> to <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=11"> on the HTTP header seems to fix the issue here.
This had to do with the order of the meta tag for IE mode. It should now be fixed (thanks @webworker01!)
Let me know if you are still having problems viewing the site in IE.
Thank you!
It's much better!
I see problem only when post reply.
normal view.
thanks

Yes , same here on IE. Ad scripting has gone berserk, making it unusable again in IE.
Using ad block plus helps a little, but it really only stays usable for a few pages worth of clicks.
for me, the breakage DID seem to coincide with Microsoft Patch Tuesday , (the fix to the header from earlier n the thread seemed to make things okay) but I couldnt swear to Windows update being the cause.
I'm on Windows 10 IE11
Yes, we've confirmed this ourselves, that IE is causing issues with freezing.
Hopefully someone will wake @bitpushr up and he'll work his magic :good:
Any updates? This is really killing my at work browsing since I'm limited to IE11.
How hard can it be to fix this?
Just roll back to the last version of the forum software that actually worked.
This has now been going on for a month ...
Until yesterday I was able to access to the forum using Firefox; since today I am greeted with a web page which say:
Sorry, you have been blocked
You are unable to access xda-developers.com

Can you pm me your IP address and page you are trying to access that is blocked?
I'm more worried your browser is doing something malicious, like a bad plugin or something. Did you try with Firefox incognito with no extensions enabled?
I looked up the IP you made that post with and did not see any firewall events. Is it possible your Firefox is using a VPN and Chrome isn't?

The url of the page is simply https://forum.xda-developers.com/
As I've said, until yestarday as well in the past weeks, I didn't had any problem with Firefox; furthermore I didn't changed anything as well I don't have firewalls nor vpn.
In incognito mode I don't get the blocked page; I tried to disable extensions but the problem still remains.
In the meantime I also tried to disable all extensions and I found the culprit: was "User-Agent Switcher and Manager": I disabled it and then re-enabled and now Firefox works again...
EDIT: I spoke too soon: it happened again: I'm going to send you the PM.
EDIT 2: I placed "forum.xda-developers.com" in the Extension's whitelist: seems that works again after various times.
EDIT 3: yay, I can confirm it: I'm writing from Firefox.
