Forums not refreshing properly

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

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

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

In BSB6.5P, several problems exist

1, in this version, after i finish doing the settings, i click "X" then dircetly return back to the today screen. However in the original version, for instance the BSB6.5O, i can still return back to the the submenu. I know this is not a bug, but such kind of design is really troublesome. As U know, u have to repeat the same procedures in order to do one setting.
2, The button take no effect if the device is locked, even i choose “ Do not lock the button if the device is power off". I can only use my finger to press the power button in the top to lighten my screen.
3, How could i separately change the system volumn and the ring volumn? A new VGA menu have added instead of the popup, so i can't find the original popup to change the volumn. Pressing the volumn up/down button, i can only change the volumn. The problem is such menu indicate the volumn changes for system, or income ring? Who knows.
I hope anyone can give me the solutions. I just online waiting for your reply~

Who knows？

maybe if you post in the good thread you will have an answer.

Something serious..how come the menuenhancement cannot display chinese even though I had installed the Chinese Font?

Page numbers at the top disappeared?!

I tried to ignore this but it is really bugging me. You cannot change the page from the top any more. I have to scroll all the way down just to change the page. Some of you are probably thinking "what a lazy git!" but it's seriously annoying having to scroll down every time i want to see the latest comments on a thread. Is there any way to get this back?

It will be fixed at some point, no doubt, but for now save your scroll wheel and finger the hassle and just press the end key

Hahaha I just googled this because I knew someone would've posted a thread about it. IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!! Hahah I am hating it just as much as you are. Hopefully it's just a temporary glitch or something.

It's quite annoying because I automatically think I'm on a one-page thread (hence, the wrong thread most of the time).

It will be fixed, but for a temporary measure see this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23434115&postcount=3560

Hope this is fixed soon. I had to google it to find this thread. The page numbers use to be on the top and bottom correct?

Feedback for Most-Thanked Widget

On XDA, sometimes you come across a thread with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of replies. Most normal humans don't have the time to read through such a large number of replies in order to find the most useful posts. Today, we're making it much easier for you to find the best replies that get buried within a thread. Introducing the Most-Thanked Widget. It lives in the sidebar (of the 2013 theme) and displays which posts have received the most amount of Thanks. It's divided into All-Time and Recent to help you find the most timely and useful posts. You can help make the Most-Thanked widget even better by being sure to use the Thanks button whenever you spot a useful post across the XDA Forums.
A few other details:
Right now, the Most-Thanked widget is only available for logged-in members as we tweak its performance. However, we'll soon be rolling it out to guests
The widget ignore post 1, because most people know that post 1 often contains the most useful information; we didn't want to be redundant
All members are limited to eight Thanks per day. Use your Thanks wisely!
The Most-Thanked widget is a work in progress! We'll be tweaking its logic over the coming weeks and months to make it as useful as possible. Thanks for your patience. Feel free to provide some feedback here

What a sexy idea.

^^ Glad to see I'm not the only one who's still on the 2010 theme then It's so much nicer and more user friendly IMO.

Great idea, brilliant for overcrowded threads. Could you add an "option" or tab to leave out the posts by the OP? Having the posts has both advantages and disadvantages, as the users tend to thank the OP a lot. On the other hand, the OP only posts updates, so not having their post in the tab would be bad. That's why you should add a choice, best for both Maybe just limit the no. of posts by OP to 1 or 2

Great idea. Thanks for this svetius.
I'm finding it a little bit laggy at the moment but I'd figure that's just because it's only just been implemented. It's not a major lag though

Yeah this is an awesome idea, but any way to integrate it into the XDA 2010 them for those of us who don't like the 2013 one?

I think they'll probably see how it goes for now and then think about implementing it to a previous version.

It's a cool idea and even nicer to see I'm in both all time top 5's of the ICS and JB version of the ROM I support
Only niggle for me is that it takes the place of the existing widget (messages/threads/forums) so you have to go back out of the thread to then see your subscribed threads again. I use this to navigate the threads I want to read as have links to all the forums I moderate so not too bothered about those. Would be cool to have a subscription (or whatever you want to call it) and thanks tab or something along those lines so you can then still have quick access to both when in a thread.
As for those still preferring the 2010 theme, once you're used to it the 2013 theme is so much nicer to use and I've never viewed the portal as much as I do now thanks to the 5 most recent posts always being shown on the sidebar. I love it!

i wish both widgets exist in that side bar.. as its not already full and we can have both with leftover space in right side panel..

sir.. great idea.. thanks for this.. as its new i know it might have bugs..
so it seems there is a bug.. if the posts shown dont have titles.. then the title if its there for above post in thanks widget is shown for the below one too.. which is kinda annoying.. as they might be totally unrelated posts.. also some posts shown in widget doesnt have appropriate link to the actual post when clicked..
also 1 suggestion: please provide the message,threads,forums widget inside threads too along with this widget.. it helps a lot..
thanks for the widget again..
Edit: oops.. sorry for second post.. i could have edit the above one. i forgot that i wrote.

It's a preference thing. I've used the 2013 and it's too busy for me, I like the cleaner brown with a portal button at the top left if I want to view portal stories (which I do daily) I can go there.
I don't ever see me moving to the 2013 theme and I really hope they integrate this most thanked post feature into the 2010 theme because it's a really useful feature.
