Same thing here (in Firefox). I Google'd it and found that other people having the same problem on other sites too. I checked one of those sites and the same thing happened, page loads a little-bit and then get the blank page when ads.pubmatic.com is being accessed.
The funny thing is I blocked pubmatic.com and ads.pubmatic.com in my hosts file and it's still happening. It doesn't seem to happen in Chrome, though.
For me, I notice when I try to go back in internet explorer it takes like 15 clicks, so I actually use the mouse and click the tab on the top of the xda webpage. If I right click the back arrow for the browser it lists a bunch of ads, which explains why it takes so many clicks to get back. It is like this on every computer I have used xda on recently. Xda is the only site that I have this issue.

Having the same problem accessing this site from my laptop as well ..... arrrrrgh, its also affecting transformer forums. Anyone found a way to fix this problem yet
Blocking via hosts file doesn't appear to work, nor does blocking "ads.pubmatic.com" in Adblock Plus. After configuring the latter, the page still hangs, only this time on google-analytics.com, so now I'm not sure if it's pubmatic.com or something else.
I came across older (2008, 2009) results in Google reporting the same problem with pubmatic.com, so I really have no idea what's going on.

Ok .... I found the solution to this problem with the help of a member on another forum. What I had done wrong was I was not using the latest version of Firefox. Once I updated it both this forum and the other one now work brilliantly again on my laptop.

Thanks for letting us know, that's good to know there's one way to fix it.
That's not an option for me, unfortunately. There are still add-ons that I can't use outside of FF 3.6x. I'd rather know what exactly is going on and fix it without updating to the FF-Version-of-the-Month.

No problem, will continue to check back to see if you or someone else comes up with another option. I cleared caches, checked add-ons, firewalls rebooted routers and machines and had no luck. It works fine with Chrome as well.
Good luck
Glad I wasn't the only one having this issue, also thanks bimgirl for finding a work around even though I too hate newer versions of Firefox past 3.6.1.6 I will try chrome out.

No, it's definitely not you. I've come across several posts today from various other sites from people who have been experiencing this issue over the past 3-4 days.
I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but many of them are running vBulletin. The issue seems to be restricted to Firefox.
Even after blocking a bunch of pubmatic.com sites in my hosts file, the issue is still happening, only the blank page hangs on www.google-analytics.com. I didn't want to go as far as blocking that, but I did anyway in my Hosts file with no success.
I came across this plug-in that I'm going to try out. This is an official Google addon that allows you to opt-out of google-analytics.com tracking.
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (BETA)
To provide website visitors more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, we have developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics.
If you want to opt-out, download and install the add-on for your current web browser. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on is available for Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Opera.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
EDIT: No dice. I installed the addon and now the hanging blank page stops loading. It still jumps to the blank page.
One other comment I read suggested that the sites themselves should verify that they've put the Google Analytics code at the very bottom of their page templates where it belongs. But I would assume that the GA code was put in place a long time ago, and doubt that would be the issue here.
---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
Success!
I added "www.google-analytics.com" to my hosts file, in addition to "google-analytics.com" and everything is fine now.
One thing I didn't try was to only use the Google opt-out addon, without adding any "google-analytics" entries to my hosts file.
If someone who prefers not to alter their hosts file wants to try it the addon-only way, please let us know if it works for you.
Thanks, folks!

I cant download files from 4Shared or rapidshare. all i get is a small file and if i change the extension to HTML you can see that the file is actually a new page to download the file from with a higher timer.
I tried wiping browser data.
I tried wiping cache/dalvik.
I tried a fresh wipe with the stock rom and no apps installed.
i tried CM6.
i tried different browsers (Opera, xScope, Dolphin)
i tried the download plugin setting in astro and linda file managers.
I tried using the tornado download manager.
just cant think of anything else. this all used to work for me and i'm not sure when exactly it stopped. currently using Fresh 3.2 with the kernel it comes with. this problem doesnt happen on megaupload.
Please help! anyone have any ideas?
I had this happen once... I am assuming you are downloading on your evo. When downloading, make sure the phone stays awake(touching screen), or disable the screen to sleep, and monitor the progress in the notifications dropdown to ensure you are getting the full download.
Yep my screen stays awake. Monitoring it in downloads doesn't help.
Just to be clear this happens on 3g and wifi.

Dont feel bad i get the same errors. Talked to stang and he said its the server and he cant do anything about it, and is unwilling to direct link his work on xda. In my opinion a rom you have to jump through hoops just to get, by a dev who is unwilling to distribute his work in a normal standard fashion, isin't worth being on my phone.

Just picked up this Nexus 7 this morning. It does not seem to like the xda site
Yeah, I've been surfing the web with it for a while now. It works great on most sites, but for some reason, my Nexus 7 (2013) and the xda developer site do not get along. The page keeps reloading if I try to scroll down (and pops in a new ad banner each time.)
I can only see the top portion of the page. It seems to mainly happen on the forum list pages. (For instance, if I go to the Nexus 7 (2013) page it list the sub categories. If I try to scroll down it reloads the page. Thats ok because the list is short. But if I go to one of the sub categories, like Q&A and try to scroll down to see the full list, it keeps reloading and putting me back to the top of the list. A few times the window locked up and I had to close and reopen it)

It seems to causing the shockwave plugin to crash. I used to have the same problem with Android Central. Might be an issue with their ads.

For xda browsing with the N7, try changing the xda layout. Scroll to the bottom of any page, in the bottom left corner there is a pull down menu. Try changing to one of the older/other layouts. Some have said it fixes the xda browsing issue.

Same here. I still have tabs freezing on me occasionally, but XDA is not reloading itself whenever I scroll down anymore.
If you have more than 1 tab open, you can go to the recent apps screen, touch Chrome, select a different tab before the address and tab bars hide themselves, then close the frozen one without effecting the others.
For reference, the constant refresh problem is also tracked at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382516.

I am also having the same problem on my 7 inch Tab 2 using Chrome on the XDA site. Also, sometimes when I'm just kind of idle on a post, I get redirected to a porn app site. I think Boink is the name of it.
Edit: I switched to Opera beta browser, and it fixed the problem. Until I made this post, now it also does the same thing. No problem with my Epic Touch though.
I am having the exact same issue. It is refreshing the whole page automatically, and refreshing when I scroll. Completely unusable!
This is happening on my Samsung Note 8.0. Tried both Chrome and Chrome beta with the same results. Please fix this.
The only way I've found to get around this problem is by using the xda app. I've tried countless browsers with no prevail. Opera beta, and One have given the best results though.

I've got a Nook HD+ that has the stock B&N OS on it, and I just thought to test it, and I get the same behaviour: chrome keeps reloading xda forums when I'm logged in, but doesn't when I'm not. I've got a Nexus 7, too. Lemme see if I get the same behavior on it....
Yes! Exactly the same. My Nexus 7 is running cm10.1, and chrome reloads xda forums, every second or so, as long as I'm logged into xda. As soon as I log out, it stops reloading. Just for fun, I tried using the old Android "Browser", and it doesn't do that.
So, it appears to be totally independent of Hardware and OS. There's something incompatible between chrome and xda forums, but only when you're logged in to xda.
PS: not *totally* independent of hardware and OS: I don't get that behavior on any of my three Ubuntu 13.04 machines. Seems to be limited to Android-based OS's.
Nice man! I've tried it on my Galaxy Tab2 7.0, and my Epic 4g Touch. The tablet is the only one that reproduces this problem. On the tab, I've tested a few different but browsers, and so far Chrome, Opera, and Firefox have all produced the same result. Just that Opera gave the fewest issues. I deleted the stock browser, so I haven't tried it yet, and still havent tried it while logged out. The only way I have found to avoid any problems is to use the XDA app, but I'm sure there are a few like me, that have had small problems (like attaching pics,) also. Hopefully xda/the mods will find this issue great enough to fix it.

This is really strange. With my WiFi Galaxy Tab 2 I don't have this issue. Firefox is my "primary" browser. Opera is my secondary browser. No problems with either one and I'm running CM10.2. I wonder if I'm not experiencing this issue because I'm an RC? Are there any other RC's, RD's, etc. experiencing this issue? Sorry I've read the thread, just don't feel like rereading it :silly:

I think it's a Chrome-specific issue... Oh, I see that kthomson205 says it happens on Firefox and Opera, too.
I saw in some other thread where somebody created a new xda profile and they didn't experience the problem with the new profile. So, it may be limited to some very specific set of options in your xda profile.
I just reinstalled chrome on my Tab2. Logged in, scrolled thru several pages. Making this post via Chrome
No issues for me.
EDIT::
Replicated the issue by ticking "Request desktop site" in Chrome's menu. Unticked "Request desktop site" and the reloading stopped.
I'm having a weird issue in that I can't input text on a particular website (MyMathLab - it's where I do my math homework). The site lets me log in and click on links, but when I get logged in and pull up the math problems, I click in the box where you're supposed to enter text, the cursor blinks, but the keyboard no longer pops up for me to type anything. I'm using Swiftkey, but I also have (and have tried to use) google keyboard and hackers keyboard.
I used to be able to do my homework on this site using my phone, but I'm not sure why the keyboard, regardless of which one I use, no longer pops up. I spoke to a rep from the site who says nothing has been updated recently and the site is supposed to be optimized for mobile. Anyone have any suggestions?
Its probably cos the site might have been updated and no longer supports smartphone keyboards. I know that cos I also do homework on my maths. And can't do stuff on my phone. If its not that then maybe you need a new browser and flash player. I suggest Mozilla Firefox or Google chrome. Hope it helps.

I've tried all the available browsers. I bet it is the site - the guy I talked to didn't seem too sure of himself when he said there hadn't been any updates.
Just an update in case anyone runs into this - the FlashFox browser fixed this issue for me.
You can right away.
