Notification e-mail links broken - About xda-developers.com

Hi guys, since some time yesterday, the links in topic reply notification e-mails have stopped working. Every time I click on one, I get the following:
Sorry, we encountered an error processing your request. Please go back and retry or wait a minute.
The Administrators have been notified of this error
Am I the only one? Is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance!

What, 90 views and nobody knows whether or not their notification links are working correctly? I'd be interested in knowing if I'm the only one whose links don't work, too

Mine appear to be working just fine...

Hah, mine are back too!
Looks like it was just temporary. Strange through - it was happening on 3 different networks (home DSL, university WiFi and o2 mobile data), with 3 different devices.

Now this is *really* weird: The link to this thread works, but links like this one don't: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23833653#post23833653
Could you try that one?

That's straight from a notification email for the Galaxy Nexus AOKP thread... I can provide more of the broken links if necessary.

Just tried one from the Desire/Bravo forum and that works... so you might be on to something.
-edit- I've tried a few more and it seems you're right. Only the GNex forum notifications are broken...

Another member reported a couple of issues in the Galaxy Nexus forum too. Smells borked to me...

Same thing happens when I reply to a post in the Galaxy Nexus forum.

Why didn´t allow the Phorum linebreaks???

Hello XDA-developers....
Noticed today, that when you´re posting without HTML-Code all the text is shown in one line....
I´m sure this wasn´t so all the time and i don´t want to turn on the HTML-code.
it´s ugly enough receiving HTML-Emails, so I´d like it more without HTML-Code in the postings.
Also it´s very ugly to read the postings, when much text is in it....
Maybe you can have a look at it...
Regards
Stefan
you are right, that should not happen.
this is something that has recently had some code changes.
....
( jus ttesting )
hmm.
probably something to do with our new usergroup HTML.
I'll ask pp tomorrow.
Noticed today, that the preview shows all correct.
Only when you submit the post, this strange thing appears...
HTH
Stefan
Whoops... I'll fix it.
Stay tuned...
I think all should be well now: old messages that were posted when stuff was broken now have line-breaks fixed, and new messages shoud work OK.
Apologies for the mess...

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.

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

Iphone music apk

The previous thread was closed by the moderator. I contacted him but he didn't answer. Though this isn't my work, i uploaded it to google docs. I hope it is reachable to everyone. If it isn't please suggest an other way. Download the attachments zip if you can see it. I repeat this has nothing to do with btunes, it has coverflow and it works pretty well though it can be more stable. Hope someone can improve it...

Why not just post some screenshots and attach the APK to the forum like everybody else?
Did you seek permission from the developer of this mystery APK before your attempts to post it? If not, that's also a rules violation.

You're sharing something you don't have permission to share, since you didn't even know where it came from. This is against the rules.

Me too, but for three years now i ve been using android phones, i 've never seen a music player with decent graphics. Maybe Uber music but this is a clone of wp7 player too. Android lacks a player where you can browse album art smoothly without thinking you own a low end phone. This is the first time i can see my music library looking good

Removal of some very irritating features

Hello I just joined xda developers and immediatly noticed something very irritating >
1. The capcha before posts - a capcha at signup is enough for most people , aren't u guys a little too paranoid.
2. Quick reply options in threads and removal of the title bar for posts - haven't yet seen even one post which uses a title bar in 5 hours
captcha needed to stop spammers

If you saw the amount of spam that manages to slip through then you would see why the captcha is still necessary for a time after signing up. It should stop after your next couple of posts however.
Unfortunately people are sometimes in too much of a hurry to type a title in for posts and the titles don't show in the XDA app, but they are still important to keep and use.
Captcha's unreadable
It is nice to know that the captcha's go away eventually. I have seen other forums that have been entirely taken over by spam-bots, so I understand the need, but the captcha's in use on this site are about 90% unreadable. I mean literally unreadable, the text is clipped so that only a corner of one of the letters is visible. I have to click the next captcha button on an average of 5 times bfore getting to one that I think I MIGHT know what it says...
P.S. This is a wonderful example of that, I tried to post this without the PS, and it turns out I was not correctly reading the captcha. This one looks a little better, so here is hoping...

But as the quoted text says capchas are very much unreadable and some simple math instead of the capcha would be great

Seriously? So you'd prefer having to go to a post, click 'quote', be taken to a separate page to type your reply (on which you won't be able to scroll through the thread gathering info or whatever for your reply), clicking post and then being redirected back to the page again causing it to refresh? Quick reply is fast and handy (hence the name).
As for the title bar, you've got to be kidding me. I don't think it even deserves an explanation.

The fact that their are captchas really isn't the problem. It is that they really are almost 90-95% unreadable. I have had some captcha pop up that literally was just the bottom corner of a letter and that was it during registration. I had to refresh about 20 times before I found one that I could sorta read.

Maybe its a problem with Firefox then? Do You have installed some add-ons that could block the quick reply?
For me the quick reply works perfect on pc(chrome) and my stock HTC one s browser. And I'm using the 2013 theme as well, so the theme would not be the probleme I think.
Why don't you try some other browsers like opera, chrome or safari ?
And you could reply back here on this thread or tell an admin if it is a problem with Firefox, and maybe its getting fixed then.

That's true, but in a mobile community where most US US are using the smartphone and the creepy autocorrect or our fingers are doing mistakes, I guess at least the edit function should be allowed without waiting 5 minutes. Any word posted mistakenly here can be seen at least 10 times in 5 minutes (and there is judge chance to get a reply with quote and the mistake will be visible forever)

The reason it is not allowed is that spammers would use it to add links that they would not have been able to include in the original post. I know it is a pain, but "read twice, post once".
No quick reply here too. Do I need 10 posts for this too ?

Unable to Reply/Post Threads or Messages

Hey guys,
For the past few days, Ive been getting issues whenever I try to post threads/messages or reply to them. I tried both Quick Reply & Advanced Reply same story. Further tested with changing the theme from XDA 2013 - 1024 to XDA Classic and also tried switching browser from Chrome to IE10 and still same issue Basically, when I click submit, the loading of page seems to progress forever till the error message comes saying Server sent no reply data Its been bugging me for days and its annoying as hell
2 Points to note :
I might have issue posting to a specific thread for hours but I can post in other threads quite easily. After a while, I will be able to post again to the thread which I previously had issues.
I dont think I've made any changes my side and after trying 2 different browsers as well as different themes, I think its a problem on the Server itself
Hope the Site Devs can fix this soon Thanks in Advance and Keep up the Good Work
Cheers & Happy New Year

You sure its same issue?
Because you don't have 10 posts.. so you don't have permission to post in development section threads.. if you got problems in that section.. then its common.. if you got problems while replying in other section then contact mods.. see link in above posts .. I think its just 10 post rule you missed..
Now that you have 10.. you can post anywhere..

Hmmmm...this is strange. Apologies for no one having tried to help sooner. I'll see what we can do
Thanks for the albeit delayed feedback just in case it helps, I noticed that it depends in some way on the message content or the title. If I start a new page and retype (not copy paste) the same thing, it won't work sometimes changing the title helps and other times, the message itself... In the case of posts, if I can't post a certain message, copy pasting and then adding it via a quick edit works but if it doesn't, then same issue will show in normal reply.. I confirmed that its browser and platform independent and also, I didn't accidentally add any Unicode characters
Hope the above might give a clue what the issue is thanks in advance
Cheers
I have't heard this error reported elsewhere, it sounds like a network issue possibly.
Have you tried on another connection?
I considered the possibility but I'm mostly at college and only one ISP here plus it's not exactly reproducible so I couldn't find out about that if it's a network issue, any idea why it occurs ? I only see this issue on xda,ie, I can read posts and all, make different replies etc but specific messages won't work ( at sometimes and work fine later) and same issue with browsing in iPad so can't see why or how I'm getting this error and it's been bugging me for ages popping up for so long. Again, hope you have any advice
Thanks for the quick reply
Cheers
No issue here.
Sometimes loading seems to take a while but the pages are loading correctly
I've seen in the past weeks that sometimes this forum taking long before it load, maybe due to lot of traffics from readers...
Hopefully some issues from other user will be fixed!
