Every page I go on, on XDA I get two url's in my browsed pages leading to ib.adnxs.com/if?enc=AAAAAAAAAA
Like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Im using IE 8
So when using XDA I'm unable to browse back using the back button in IE as the Url just reloads the same page again no matter how many times i click back
I have to click the main link on the top of the page every time I want to go back
Also we now have add's with sound! so bad!
Just a heads up very annoying
I'm getting the same thing, VERY annoying. Can't use the back button at all.
.
Same here. Extremely annoying!!!
Admins please FIX!!!!

What is the significance of a red X?
I know, I went to the page and saw the pic.
Nice reply from a mod to problems people are having with the site. Nice!
add volume.liftdna.com to the list.
One time I got five url's between the forum page and the thread page. And clicking the forum link to go back is annoying as you always return to Page 1 of the forum instead of the page you were on.

From orb's response they don't care. He suggests in an offhand way to install another browser other than internet explorer.
I'll forward this to our Server admin and if there is a problem to solve XDA will do the best to fix it as usual.
In the meantime this thread will be closed.

Rest assured, we care. I use IE8 at work, and IE9 at home, so I am not of the use Opera or Chrome mindset. We are looking into the issue now.

Back-button [still] not working in xda-developers on IE

1. The problem is unchanged for me; I am still seeing the issue, where (just for the sake of clarity):
"the issue" == a. hitting the back-button doesn't appear to change the displayed page when viewing any page of xda-developers.com with Internet Explorer;
b. depending on what page you are viewing, hitting the back-button might or might not change the IE history-list that you see when you click on the little blue triangle to the left of the URL entry text-box drop-down. Ditto for the IE history-list that you see in the IE history "explorer bar" that you get when you choose to "View By Order Visited Today."
I am using IE 9.0.8112.16421.
Note 1: FWIW, my browser doesn't seem to go to any pages in the domain that is the title of this thread. The unexpected pages in my history list (and there are LOTS of them) are all in one of the two following domains: statc.liftdna.com and mediaservices-d-openxenterprise.com.
Note 2: The title of this thread doesn't really help very much those people who are searching for answers to the problem that the back-button doesn't work. Since there seems to be almost a fetish on this forum about the pleasures of searching for previous posts, perhaps the title of the thread can be changed so that more people (and apparent non-people such as newbies like me) will get more satisfaction from their searches?
Note 3: there is another thread on the same topic that someone has opened up (appropriately enough) in the forum:
AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Q&A.
The thread is called "IE Back Button within forums".
Being a newbie, I can't post in such a development forum and point him to here.

The xda-developers.com main site has a new front page. It's still very much a work in progress, and it will change significantly still over the next few days and weeks.
But please have a look and say whether you like it.
The articles currently available through the front age will find their way into the forum over the next week as well, and they'll get their own small box on the front page.
If you can, please help turn the XDA-developer news service succeed. With so much going on, I feel it's important we have some kind of editorial summary in order not to drive people nuts.
everything is fine except........ wheres the links to the pages like connectors ect...
WOW new front page, looks good too!
But for some reason I'm unable to logon with Pocket IE.
FYI the below error is whats being reported:
Template->make_filename(): Error - file does not exit
No Pocket IE what am I going to now!

Ehm, whoops, I forgot to say currently it only works with the XDAdevelopers theme... Same goes for the encyclopedia. I'll fix that soon.
:?:
I can get to the forums but where did the rest of xdadevelopers go? The links to the tools, tutorials, pictures, etc... Seems I can't find the links to these areas off of the new home page...
Always get "Template->make_filename(): Error - file does not exist".
Did some testing, found out that it is related to being logged in.
If I log out, the site opens normal.
When I log in again on the site, I get this error again.
Tested with IE 6.0 and Mozilla 1.4.1

OK, but loved the sub-silver more then the yellow. Think it's to flashy.

Hi xda-dev,
I just thought if we could have us thread owners to have a standard button design for a specific thread that we can use/link in our blog post or websites?
Just a thought ..
And, while on the subject: Is an RSS feed going to be made avail in new version ?

I think that's a great idea. But could you clarify: Are you speaking of the same basic concept on news sites where various social-media icons are avail to auto-repost? (twitter, digg, etc)... Or do you mean a button that performs the action of copying the thread's link & title to the clipboard, then being able to paste it anywhere on your own site, manually, into a blog post etc?

SLIGHTLY OFF-TOPIC:
I'm WAY behind the curve in using twitter, and how it integrates with what seems like 1000 different twitter-based apps... And twitpics, i'm even less clear on how and WHEN to use it, and if it's used WITH twitter, or a parallel service to twitter for just sharing photos in real time.
ON-TOPIC
So I'm not clear if your posting that image on twitpic is literally an example what you want to be able to do, or are you saying there are apps for either phone or desktop computer that will generate a template graphic as well a specific thread title linked? So, in your picture, is the thread title generated as part of the graphic itself? Or is the thread title displayed in HTML on top of the template graphic?
I am really confused but I like the way it looks! please explain further...
Okay, so now I see this, in your prior sig file.. and I see that it is a graphic that gets generated with the title of the thread rendered as part of the image... so i just have never seen these used -- but I love the idea...
So for this example here:
tell me how that gets generated -- at http://www.twitstamp.com ? and then when you apply that generated graphic, how do you also code the link to the thread, in this example?
even more confused and feeling so behind the times !
well whaddayaknow -- this looks like a pretty cool web app ! ---
so are you speaking of ...
(1) You're here at XDA-devs, and you're on, for example, this very thread...
(2) You'd like to see a simple small graphical button, as part of "thread tools" or somewhere within the thread page layout, that when you click on it, it grabs the Title of the thread, and the link, copies it to pasteboard...
(3) then you go to a site like, for example, TwitStamp.com, and insert what's on the pasteboard into the "input box" at Twitstamp...
(4)... thereby generating a graphic with link that can be embedded anywhere on a webpage etc, exactly as you would grab embed code from a YouTube video, or from a photo at photobucket.com, stuff like that?
(5) Is this kind of small-file-size "picture status" thing being rapidly used as a way to post updates, but using twitpics? So that after you generate the graphic, you post it to twitpics? And those who subscribe to your feeds can see "oh cool, that sounds like an interesting thread, i want that for my phone"... and so they would click on it and link to the thread here at XDA?
even more confused by all the permutations of pasting what where... hah hah.
Is this what you mean exactly, or is it close, or is this just one of many examples of what you are envisioning?
sounds & looks interesting....
sounds & looks interesting....

Everything I have written has been enthusiastically positive about what you're saying. I'm just trying to understand if I'm following what you are thinking. You took all of those posts the wrong way, I think.
I really am interested in learning about how people are using these kind of twitstamps... I went and registered. I don't know what else to say, I like this idea -- and I really would like for you to answer my questions, all of them, because if I "getting" it correctly, I like it. But I may not be understanding AT ALL the way *you* are seeing your idea. So please, explain some more! I'm just another member like you, that's all. We're just talking about your idea.

Hi!
In the recent time, when I surf XDA-forum with my Xoom or Galaxy Nexus, I often am redirected to awful commercial-sites like this one ( http://cat.m.smartphonegirls.de/wwf...n_id=103566ff54dbd160ab06425f95bc91&path=SPOQ), who want to sale stupid things.
The only way to avoid it is to use a desktop UA-string.
Why does XDA support those kind of abo-services, we all know from the media? I have nothing against commercials on the forum, I know XDA needs the money. But not that way, please...

These shouldn't be appearing... Do you have any details about what's causing it to appear? Ie. a particular browser?
Just the stock android 4.0.3-browser, on my Xoom with Tiamat-ROM and on my Galaxy Nexus with CM9.
It only happens on XDA-dev-page, mostly when entering the UCP or a thread. And there are two sites I have seen. The one I posted and some other video-page. I don't remember that name, but will post if I see it again.
And it doesn't always happen, just from time to time.
I have this problem too. Follwing picture appears:

Yes, and if you accidentially would tap "Ja" (= yes in German) you would have to pay 2,99€ per week via your mobile bill, if you haven't blocked mobile payments on your contract (by default it's activated, you have to contact the provider).

I guess there are dynamic commercials, that adjust to the origin you belong to and for.Germans, who have a mobile UAstring, it redirects to.that site... Not very funny...
Just imagine you were showing the XDA-page to s.o. on your phone and then this page pops up. Some kind of embarassing

It's really anoying.
Any suggestions for a workaround?
Blocking URLs or something?

I don't know if it's with 3G, since most of the time I'm using WiFi (home, university etc.) so I just can only confirm it happens with WiFi. Anyway, it will most likely be with 3G, too - I simply don't remember that.
I also got that "ad" today ... That ad is not just emberrasing, but if you click it, it will cost you 3€/week and that's horrible!!!
3G (H), Provider: T-Mobile ...

I'm getting this crap since today... I was surfing on my SGS2 on ign.com when that site was automatically loaded.
I think it's somehow connected to google admob or whatever... I'm also german, it must be connected to one of those
automated advertisments (geolocation) for germany...
It's automatically loading... I can't even check if I clicked on it by mistake because the first time when it appeared I was kinda surprised.

No, you didn't click something. It just takes until the entire site is loaded, then you are redirected. The worst thing about is that you cannot even go back to the page you wanted, because the browser seems to think it IS the page you wanted. If you go back, you.get the page you had before... Not funny...
And yes, I have also recognized it on other pages, but only very, very few, so I don't think it's Google Ads.

Ah - my bad. Yeah, it creates a new search each time. I had seen it and assumed (stupidly) that it was just a search by user ID.
Search has been so unreliable recently it's crazy
A possible workaround, although it's not exactly ideal, is to type the following into Google

If you have some idea of the thread title then you could put that in there as well and narrow it down a little?
You can do this by going to the forum home, choosing Advanced Search, typing in your username, making sure the "Search All Open Forums" and "Show Results as Threads" selections are highlighted. The default sort order of the results is last threads with a post are at the top.
Thanks everyone!
With the search finally working, I can see my participated threads...
That solves part of my dilemma...

1. Click on "Search This thread" (top right, if you are on desktop)
2. Click the "X" to close the search suggestions.
3. Now you can actually search the thread.
wow, thanks between the two hints and my experimenting, i now understand both of workarounds for the crappy implementation of search this thread function.
summarizing in either method of tapping "search this thread" button or the top of page search box switched from "everywhere" to "this thread"...
must use the "search" button instead of magnifying glass to run the search (don't hit enter on kb either).
this means for "search this thread" button, must tap the X to close the stupid sitewide search result suggestions, to be able to see that "search" button. (also for top of page search if zoom extends it too far down)
hope that helps.

It's definitely a pain for now! I prefer my Chrome browser Google Search until there's a better way on XDA...

^this^ Gookill Search> "*your search parameters*, XDA"
Works like a charm... not a big deal.

Yep, my go to! Cheers
the google search method seems like an unnecessary hassle since the built in "search this thread" functions as expected (as long as you make sure to X out of the suggested results and tap the search button (don't hit enter or use the magnifying glass button).

Many forums are the same way.
No big deal... make use of those nasty webcrawlers
XDA really screwed up the implementation of search in Xenforo.
It can be so much better/easier with a few tweaks.
Xenforo 2.0 had a better search out-of-the-box but 2.2 can be made better with just a few clicks.
I really dislike the Xenforo they built here.
I'll actually search Google for help before I come here and search XDA.
And I would pay a dollar if XDA would add a roll-eyes "like" option.
LOL it could be useful!
