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 Search results do go out of date and usually only work on the PC on which the search was done.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...

Hi all,
Since the last view days I randomly get redirected smartphonegirls.com when I am browsing to xda-developers forum with my android devices. It didn't really happen with my laptop yet so I don't know if catched smth like a virus or similar. However I truly doubt it as it happens with both my android devices and one of them was just freshly flashed.
Does any one else have this problem as well?

I have never heard of this. Might be an app you have installed on the decices
Yes, I can confirm this and I could do without it as well. Any way to stop it?
We are trying to track this down right now... It appears difficult to reproduce though.
Is this over wifi or 3G? What provider do you have as well?
Got the same site and done some investigation here. Identified 2 sites ( wetter24.de and epicfail.com) where this site pop ups.
I downloaded an useragent modifier for firefox and switched it to android. Then I use http header to see where the redirect will be done or which object is responsible for it. It looks like that google ads could be the reason, because the ads are dynamically and probably a js will be execute the redirect.
Unfortunately I can´t exactly identify the object and today I got the page again.

I never had it via 3G yet, but I mostly (>90%) use WiFi so I can't really rule that out.
Provider would be Vodafone Germany.
At least for me it only occures with my Android devices - I never experienced it with my Laptop (running Linux Mint 12 with latest FF version from repos 10.0.2)
On Android I have
SGSII with CheckROM RevoHD v6 & RedPill Kernel Rev1.3 (GB)
Acer Iconia A500 with Taboonay 3.1 ROM (ICS)
It happened with both devices so far. On the Acer it was actually when only had very few apps installed (which I don't think might be responsible for it as I used them since a long time)
What I also suspect is that it only happens when I am not logged in to the site. At least it never happened to me so far when I was logged in.
I hope this helps a bit. If there is anything you would like me to test, please let me know. I am happy to assist in any way I can.
/schaze
It just happened again.
Here is what I did (using WiFi)
searched in google search for xda developers
clicked on the result which actually leads to xda developers forum
wait until the site loads completely
just before it is finished loading the redirect occurs and I can see the sie with the FSK18 (thats an age classification - means you need to be 18 to see the content ...bla bla..9 red symbol warning
see attached screenshot.
my redicect actually goes to:[nourl]http://cat.m.smartphonegirls.de/wwf-splashTool/SEO/iGirls_wap_fsk18_kw14_16?transaction_id=10396fe92e93a57bca7eb007875b4e&path=SPOQ[/nourl]
Using Wifi is the only way that you can reproduce this.
Then what might be happening:
You normally connect through mobile webpages through your droid.
When you are on an open wifi connection, it lets alot more data flow in and out of your droid. Searching for xda and maybe clicking on a searched link will send you there first.
FIX: Save xda as your favorite or home page and it will go straight to the actual site instead of sending you through click.it links etc.

I understand, but the redirect happens from xda-developers. I can see the xda url in the browser while XDA is loading (there is nothing preceeding it), the redirect occurs only at the end of loading the XDA developer page. So I don't think that problem is coming from the link I click to get to XDA.

Or just cancel further loading before the redirect occurs.... It is no big issue which keeps me from using XDA - But my main concern was that it was actually happening at all and I wasn' t sure if I catched smth on my devices or if it is a general problem.
I could reproduce this on xda-developers.com. Unfortunately I can´t post the headers because its not allowed for me to post urls.
If the xda-developers admins like to have the entire header stack just give me a short message. Really strange thing.
The same happens, randomly as well, with the site androidcommunity.com. Both with the android bowser and chrome beta. This is f.... annoying. Any ideas how to avoid this?

I figured out the related redirect. But I cant post it due to url policies. It comes from...
"tracking.kissmyads.com"
If you want the details give me a short info.
Have uploaded the headers for review.
Had the same experience today with Opera Mobile on the "Cyanide & Happiness" page (webcomic). Looked at the latest strip and redirected as soon as the page was fully loaded. Didn't happen on the built-in browser though.
Tried setting the user agent from mobile to desktop and it seems to have fixed it. Switched back to mobile for testing and didn't get the ad again yet. Hopefully that helps.
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

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.

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.

**************
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.

This can be caused by extensions or settings requesting pages in the background. This feature is called "prefetching" and requests links before you actually click on them. It's fast for user experience but hammers the server. You shouldn't be hitting the 429 rate limit unless there are a lot of requests coming to the server.
Me too, I only go to the forum a few times a day and get this error every time?
It's getting that way, it's not worth the effort.
Doesn't seem to be any fix for the issue, or, am I missing some thing?

Disable prefetching in your browser, this "feature" causes the browser to load a bunch of pages in the background. On a busy site like XDA we rate limit pages to prevent abuse, imagine if everyone loading a page actually loads 20 pages in the background.
Tried the 3 main browsers on my personal Windows 10 laptop, connected to my S9 hotspot. The problem happens on all 3 browsers when I try to download 1 file (CyanogenMod for Note 4 https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19462)
Tried my work laptop on my work's network connection, same error in both FFox & IE11 on Windows Server 2012.
Tried on 2 different T-Mobiles phones in the Chrome broswer - same error.
Seems like the "429 rate limit" is crap on XDA. I haven't been on this website in years - kinda sad to see such a silly configuration problem causing so much grief for users.
Anyone know a different source for the 2nd newest unofficial CM for the Verizon Note 4 (the latest release fails to boot - stuck on CM logo)? I really really want/need it. Thanks!

That's what I tried to do as well, but still kept getting the error. What started working now is if I open any of the forums and get the error, I just click on the reload button in the browser, than the page loads up. Everything seems to work though in the XDA forum app.
