a large forum, like this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
is available only in 'linear mode'.
when selecting 'threaded' or 'hybrid'
a blank page is shown or 'http 500' error page,
every browser behaves differently.
small forums are functioning properly.

A link to your profile page, as well as all other other BB links (FAQ, Search, Memberlist, ...), should be included on every page, or at least the home page, in the "My XDA-developers" frame.
The "profile information" section needs to allow newer devices to be selected. Things like ROM and radio versions change so fast, that they should be text input boxes which are blank by default, rather than pull-down menus with limited selections.
Hi all
New here so please be kind and don't swear at me for not searching properly but is there an app or setting that will keep a web page from resizing when browsing from link to link.
Eg While reading a page here on my Desire, I resize the page so i can read it properly but when i click a different link, it resizes back to small, so i have to pinch the screen to enlarge it again.
Is it possible to keep the same size while browsing?
Untick open pages in overview. Its in browser settings.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thx merc, I would have never found that.
Default Zoom in Settingns changed to "Close" also make the page bigger straight away.
Thx again, great for old farts like me that cant read the screen when it's so small.
I've been having this issue where when I tap on a select tag on a webpage (or in WebView within an app), the entire webpage turns white. The other DOM elements, such as form elements, are still there, they're just completely white so you can't see them.
Before:

When select tag is tapped:

After:

You can see how by just tapping the select tag, the whole page turns white.
This doesn't happen every time, in fact probably only 25% of the time. But I can say for sure this only occurs with Ice Cream Sandwich, all other versions (and other devices such as iPhone) show the webpage just fine, so I don't think it's CSS or JavaScript.
Anyone else observed this perplexing issue?
Thanks for the help

Looks like I'm having trouble uploading the screenshots?
Please take a look at them on imgr
I think when select is focused its overrides css rules, you can make them !important and it works 100%, also you can check how select change DOM, and see dom modifications

When on the XDA Portal a mouse click anywhere on the screen will cause the Forums quicklinks to refresh. Instead of showing individual tabs for the forums, topics, and PMs it then displays all three tabs at once. I've noticed this happen on Safari, Firefox, and Chrome and didn't see anyone else mention it as a bug, so...
For the code people at XDA:
I'm guessing the issue is with the #vB-widget and script that populates it. Whenever there is a click (left or right) the three tabs are all assigned the .sC-active class. I've attached a screenshot so you can see where I am talking about.. There are also some odd formatting things (like paragraphs being put in a ul without being surrounded by li's) that may also be tied to this.
it looks like the forum theme has just been updated, and I have 2 issues with it.
I'm using "Atlas" on android 5.1.1.
first a visual glitch: when a tap or mouse-over happens on a thread name in a thread list it adds extra space, causing the layout of the entire list to jump around.
this is particularly disruptive when using a mouse or an "air view" capable device.
and then a matter of convenience: device forum lists used to contain only a device description followed by a list of subforums.
now there's an extra-large list of the 4 most active threads between the device description and subforum list, which adds an entire screen's height of content to scroll through.
and each subforum link is followed by links to the 5 latest threads making a single subforum take up a full screen's height, instead of fitting all subforums on 1 screen.
this results in too much scrolling for me.
I'd like to revert to the old 2015 theme, but unfortunately there's no option for this in the theme selector.
is there any way I can get the more compact and less jumpy 2015 theme back?
@bitpushr is our server admin. He might be able to help with these issues.
We haven't pushed out any big changes to the 2015 theme - just incremental changes - so there isn't a way to 'go back'. I will pass your feedback along and also we should have a fix since it sounds like that first issue is a bug.
So the "jumping around" issue is fixed.
The device forum list: we just rolled out some "jumps" that let you more quickly get to a desired section. We still need to clean up the design a bit, but it looks like this: https://goo.gl/Ft32HO
Another option you always have is to use previous templates, like 2013 or 2010. You can change with the template switcher in the bottom left corner of each page here on the forums
the jumping is indeed fixed.
the "forum jumper" however unfortunately makes the scrolling worse for me.
what could perhaps work is if opening a link from a "forum jumper" in a new tab would open the entire subforum, while clicking/tapping it would scroll down to the preview like it does now.
and old themes aren't exactly an option on phones because they don't adjust to the screen width, and unfortunately after the "death" of opera mobile there aren't any browsers left that can do these adjustments by themselves.
edit: i thought of another solution, though it would probably take quite some work.
a minimize buttons like on the forums main page, which hides the "recent threads", and make it folded out on desktop and minimized on phones by default.
i've also included an image showing the amount of scrolling needed to go through a device page on a phone with a 1440x2560 screen.
that's about 13/14 screen heights, 33.000-35.000 pixels tall.
apparently the edit screen for these comments allows for link parsing and attachments while they aren't actually possible in comments.
