Please check ADS on forums ! - About xda-developers.com

Every thread I try to read forwards to an ad that isn't working too well. ads.pubmatic.com is trying to resolve or load on the browser bar and I have to kill i and go back then stop it before it loads to read anything on the site

Seems to only be affecting my FireFox as Chrome doesn't do this. Or I guess it is my own issue. If no one else is experiencing this please go ahead and remove this thread.

XDA search function issues!!!

Well im not sure if this is only an issue for me or everyone but when you use teh search feature at the top it will only display one page of links if you select page 2 it throws a 404 error. kind of makes it hard to find info and will all the new phone sites its harder to find stuff from xda. just a heads up.

I have been working on the issue myself and discovered it only is a problem if you use Fire Fox. If i fire up IE and search the site all is well. The issue could just be related to the horrible flash support through FF. If you need any help with more data just let me know i will take some screens so you can see what i mean.
any term will cause the issue and it is only related to the XDA search intergrated into the forum. Google is fine.

I use FF and never have an issue searching internal as long as stay past 3 letters since the search engine relies on 4+ & XDA Google search fine too.
Just tried every way to create a 404 error and not happening.
i have attached some screenshots. one is the first page results and you will see i typed in maxmanila so way over 3 but when i select page 2 its a no go and that is what the other screenshot is. i am finding that issues with several other machines running firefox.
It's a mystery. I just tried with Firefox 3.6 and had no problems with successive search pages. I wonder if it's something in your setup. Are all the computers you are using operating through the same router? Search results do go out of date and usually only work on the PC on which the search was done. I assume you are not using a proxy server?
Mike
yes and no. 1 tower goes through my router but i have tried with my EME(UMPC) and Laptop and both do the same. They will either use the same router or my phones internet or other internet locations. Each setup is diffent. only thing i can think of is that firebug or greasemonkey causing the issue but i have no scripts running when i come to this site. its a mystery to me.
i have no problems with firefox, chrome or ie or safari...

Can't post on a forum - help

Hi,
I'm hoping someone out there can help me with an issue I'm experiencing on another forum. Basically I can log on ok and browse all threads, but when I try to post a new thread or a reply, it won't let me. By that I mean I click the post reply button and get a window similar to this forum, but when I click in the text window it just goes completely green and doesn't bring up the keyboard.
I have tried using both the stock and swype keyboards and both the stock browser and dolphin with the same result.
It must therefore be this particular forum however I wondered if anyone else has experienced this and found a solution
this maybe nothing to do with your problem but some forums wont let you post until you have posted in specific areas like the "introductions" area etc. If its not this then maybe its a flash or java issue. Try posting from your PC, if you can then it must be flash or java or maybe even the browser you are using on the phone. Let us know any updates. All the best

Infinite ads - no back button

I have written this on the main interface page and received no answers.
On some pages I get to a point where no matter how many times I click on the back button, the page goes nowhere. When I long click on the back button it shows a list and there are pages of the same link that has the word ads in it. If I click on the bottom item in the list and long click on the back button again, the same list comes up. If I do this several times, I finally get to where I was to navigate to the page.
While I haven't actually taken the time to count, I am sure that there are over 40-50 page listings that come up from one page with only a few messages.
I am using IE9 and I want to know what I can do to stop this overtly evil behavior. I fully understand the need for ads but I don't see any good reasoning to hijack my page. If I click on a link in the page, I can then go back to normal. It doesn't happen on every page, just sometimes.
Since my bookmark to this site is on IE9 and not Chrome or Firefox and since I navigate to this site only on my desktop, I don't get the problem elsewhere. This behavior is only on this site. Some sites open pop under windows (also evil) and pop up windows (annoying) but this one really gets me angry.
Again, how does one get this bad beharior to stop???!!!
Please help:crying:
I just went back to the offending page and several times it only had two instances of the ads link. I then went to Chrome and it didn't happen at all. I know there is evil here because it is related to advertising. Is someone posting hiding something here? Is the site doing this to me? Is it an attack on IE because of the anti microsoft sentiment?
Why Why Why???
I'm done. I'm hoping for some answers now.
Sorry about the rant. I have to use IE because it is what my non technical wife is used to and the always there bookmarks on the left are important. We also have land line becasue she won't give it up.
Ummm. Don't think your in the right place dude. You'd be better off searchin ms support or at least using a windows forum. This is Android!
But to try to help, sounds like a browser hijacker, or malware. You need to run scans with malwarebytes, spybot, hijack this, anti-virus....you get the idea.
Sorry I can't help you more than that. Good luck

I've run my AV software MS Security Essentials. It only happens on this site. I first wrote to the website forum and received zero answers. Since this site is populated with very tech aware people, and I visit this forum (I now own a S3) almost exclusively, I thought I would try here.
I know that it is off topic, but since it only happens here I thought I would try here next. I also have a request in the Chrome forum as to how to get the left side bar bookmarks there.
Thanks, I hope it doesn't get deleted until I at least get some answer. I won't post here on this subject until someone asks me to qualify my question.
If you haven't already, download and run malwarebytes. Its one of the best and can find tons of stuff that regular AV can't.
As for bookmarks, if it comes to it there are utilities you can use to back them up. Then uninstall/reinstall IE.
You can also import bookmarks from/to chrome.

Dude, this is an Android forum not a PC forum, what's wrong with you?
You have a virus or some serious malware.
Do a fresh install of windows, problem solved, stop being such cry baby.
Yikes this is a forum for mobile android phones not windows.
Like everyone has suggested use malwarebytes, it is free!
Antivirus software rarely pick up malware.
Use spybot search and destroy
Install spyware blaster to avoid future such problems

While looking for another solution (to another problem) I found your post. The same thing happened to me today on this site.
The problem is not your PC, nor your browser and is not a malware issue either. In fact, it's from a script that is specifically designed to disable the browsers' back button. You see, the back button does not generate any revenue towards pay-per-click and/or similar schemes. Click-throughs, however, will...
Chances are that one of the page ads loaded the script (usually java) and set a cookie as well (to prevent one from replicating the problem).
Closing the browser window is about the only way to get around it. Holding the pull-down for the back-button only shows numerous versions of the same page.
Other browsers have plugins that can prevent the script from running in the first place and/or block the ads entirely.
If it keeps happening then you should contact one of the Forum Mods.
Hope this helps.

Can't delete or move unless we happen upon it (like I just did) or you report it. Not like we have filters that send us PMs whenever someone types Delete or Move. Doesn't work that way, fellas. Sorry
**************
At OP, if you are still having problems with the site, got to the main XDA page and flag an admin to check out your issues. Plus you could search there and if no results pop up or no one else is having the issue, there error could be between the chair and keyboard. If you want this to remain open, it is your choice but you will have better luck in the main XDA section, rather than the SGS3 section.
Shoot me a PM if you want it closed. If no PM by morning my time, then it is gone.

xda forum pages reloading when interacted with in chrome?

So this is a pretty weird problem here.... I've noticed that whenever I'm browsing these forums on my Note 3 (it also seemed to happen sometimes on the sgs3 as well) I will run into this problem. What happens is when I go to a page that lists threads or forums, so a device's main page, the main forum page, or a forum itself, the page loads fine but when I actually try to interact, be it zoom in so that I can see things easier, or scroll down, or even click a search box, the whole page will begin to reload. Then once reloaded, half the time I can use the page without it happening again (all though hardly ever on the sgs3) and the other half of the time it would just happen again. The only way to keep it from happening that I found is to simply load the page, then when I go to interact with it I just do so near the top of the page so that if the thing starts to reload then I can quickly tap on the x button to stop it. If I do this then it won't bother me again like that on that page. I can scroll or type or whatever. But as soon as I go to another forum, device page, or even the next page of the same forum, the same thing , will happen.
Does anyone know why this is happening and any way to correct it? Is it an issue with chrome itself, as this only seems to happen on chrome, but my issue there is that I like chrome abd o especially like the way my bookmarks settings and passwords are shares across my own personal devices. So any ideas to fix this? It's driving me nuts! Oh and yes I know I could use the app but I'm just not that fond of it. I've even bought the premium one to support the forum a little but I'd just rather use the browser. Thanks for any help....I'm sure some others are experiencing this issue.

Using stock browser on my Note 10.1 it does this every time I try to use the XDA search. Havent tried it on my N3 though.
Anyone know how come the N3 stock browser acts like Chrome when you zoom? I cant figure out how to have the text format to the page either.

I shut off Java on the mobile chrome browser and this issue stopped.
I like having java though that's such a limiting way to deal with the problem
Where is this button Tony it's talking about? I don't remember seeing any buttons hardly in chrome.....
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yep happens to me too. I can't stand it. I find Firefox works best. It never refreshes like that.
Yea every other browser works fine except chrome it Is stupid as all get out.... what can be done to fix it I don't want to stop using Chrome because I use the bookmarks all the time etc.... it's just much easier for me to use Chrome for like 99 percent of the stuff that I do.... so any ideas? What is this auto reload feature that one guy was talking about? I've never heard of or seen it anywhere in chrome...has anyone else?

Thanks....at least that fixes it.... though you lose a couple features I guess it is what it is until they fix it that is.....
Thanks for the workaround. I also bought the premium app and i feel ripped off because it is really, really bad.
They should not activate a default setting that is bugged on a browser most users browse these forums with!
