I neede this website sooo bad but it wasn't letting me in .
I am so happy it finally started to work.

i get it almost everyday around midday

was getting it, but seems to be working ok now.

same here.

so am i the only one who has gotten it before today?
and is an administrator aware of this?

I received it from around 10am-10pm ... quite frustrating when you want to ask questions / give help

We've been getting them off & on for the last year...the admin's are obviously aware.

I am from Germany and since Saturday at 13:30 i have the error 500!
Yesterday at 22:00 i am checking to come into the forum at last, and now it is okay and its a feeling like winning an Jackpot ;-)
So, what happens with this great side yesterday?

Its just PHP saying the maximum memory limit is reached and it cant take anymore people drawing from the resources

so what needs to get done to fix it? do we need more donations?

just get a better server, and if its not done yet a separate MySQL server. You can donate more, so they can buy better stuff

google website error

I can't seem to find any info on this on the forums (searching from my phone) but whenever I open the browser and it loads the Google homepage I get the error "reference error: cant find variable: gp"
It pops up on a black box and I have to click ok before I can do anything. Also when I enter a search term I can't click the magnifying glass next to the search field I have to click enter on the keyboard. I don't know if the 2 are related.
Is anyone else experiencing the same ? Any solutions ? Thanks.

Same problem here mate - with both of them!
I usually switch google to classic view instead of mobile and it works fine then!

Yeah I'm doing the same but its getting annoying now. I hope there's some easy fix.

strange that no one else seems to be having this issue!

I'm getting the same two errors, I suspect it's an app I've installed but not had time to investigate yet.

XDA **VERY** slow loading

Hi, i'm facing a really annoying problem.
My browser takes ages to load a page. I mean, the top div gets loaded very fast (as you expect) but the rest takes about 1 minute or more to load the rest of the page.
I have this strange problem only if working in my notebook. With my mobile everything works like a charm.
Is someone in the same situation?
Is XDA doing some maintenance stuff or something?
Thanks

Was having this issue yesterday during work but today it seems to be gone. Could have been an issue with something down the line (DNS, regional routing, whatever) that just caused a temporary slow down.
Short answer is no you aren't alone. Should be gone by now or soon.

I hope so, thanks

i have the same problem

I think I found a solution (even if it is not absolute).
Go to you profile page and set the sytle (at the bottom of the page) at xda classic
Now try to navigate... it is as fast as it should be.
At least, it is for me!

Yesterday in particular the site was slow because we had processed some upgrades that didn't go quite right. Things should be good now.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm still having the problem.
However, I tries my "solution" on another machine, and it works too.
If it can help other user, you can add to FAQ main page.
I hope it's only a matter of time as the 2010 theme is really pretty. The classic one is just a little bit... old-fashioned.

so many background scripts running, because too much function and too much rules.
post limit to access certain service, wth....
i got bugs to inform the developer but ending to make several useless posts here first.
xD
If xda very slow, be patient!

works well for me

I think i didn't get your point...
I just tried to understand what is happening here...
I also found out that changing theme speed-up the loading process, and i want to share this with other user that are having these same issue... if you want to wait ages to check a page you are free to do so, but please leave other do what they prefer!!

It occurred to me quite often in the last months but, probably, I was "great" enough to decide loading xda when they perform the maintenance of the forum...

Today i noticed a very slow loading here...
I checked my ping and noticed that everytime i open XDA my ping goes from 20ms to 1500-2000, even after not loading any threads and leaving the PC alone for many minutes. When i close XDA, ping goes down to normal.
Please fix it. Maybe some buggy ads or something else.

I think it's media.xda-forum-com... My browsers goes stuck right there.

also cdn.viglink.com is blocking for a long time
Can you please fix it?

Fix available (at least for me):
change DNS in your router config to the ones offered by opendns...
Now everything works like a charm.

i shouldn't have posted this here! just notice what section I was in (found this thread in a search)

i'm using ie9 and when i post a reply(not quick reply) and I try to click my mouse pointer in between letters of the words I type, the mouse pointer is not displayed.

That Script lines you see is the space for Ads, probably the code is broken maybe.
Even me too faced the same issue logging, but it was only for Forums, as portal was working fine.

I'm too late. Reported it two times already, but still under new thread button, bad coding.

Google AdSense code is broken.
Something changened in code and it better be fixed soon, as owners are loosing money.

There was a server failure, it's possible these are linked

Pages on the website are stuck in a constant reload loop.

Ever since the big website update most pages on here are not constantly reloading over and over. I have to hurry and click a link to view a thread or make a post before the pages reloads again. Anyone else having this issue, and is their a solution for it?
Using Firefox 13.0.1 + ABP + NoScript.

Sounds like a buggy plug in or extension in your browser. Disable them all and then add back one by one until you find the culprit.

Doesn't seem to be doing it anymore.

I've heard of this issue when members are using the NoScript plugin. If you allow xda-developers.com it should load the page without issue. I've been trying to track why it will reload when using NoScript but haven't figured it out yet. Let me know anyone determines why that happens and I'll fix it.

I think the main culprit is the googletagservices.com ... allowing only that one in NoScript stopped the constant reloading of the pages at xda Forums ... for me at least.

I do believe you're right. Earlier today the problem returned, probably because I have been viewing direct thread urls/bookmarks rather than navigating the forum lately. I kept trying to temp-allow scripts between page reloads one at a time but none worked...up to and including everything being allowed which I would imagine rules out NoScript. Just now I blocked everything but the main page script and the one you mentioned and that seems to have worked.
Edit: Nope, no dice. I went to the Captivate section and saw no sub-sections so I allowed and disallowed scripts until I found the one that displayed those sub-sections which is the Googleapis.com script. The second I allowed that(with googletagservices and main site script still allowed) the page went in to the infinite reload loop again. I tried to revoke the permissions of googletagservices and it made no difference.
When I revoke googleapis permission to run the page instantly stops reloading, but as mentioned above it delivers content necessary to the forum. In order to navigate the forum I need that script permitted and I have to race to click links before the page reloads.

I'm only an occasional visitor to XDA, and hit this problem today. I'm using Firefox with noscript. Allowing skimresources.com with noscript stopped the reload problem for me. I already had googleapis.com allowed.
Cheers,
Simon.

I just finished temporarily allowing 30+ scripts and the reload loop seems to have stopped. This website has more scripts than any website I have EVER seen in my time of having noscript installed.
Still can't figure out what script needs to be disabled so googleapis can stay enabled. With this ridiculous amount of scripts it'll take me an hour to figure it out. -_-
ETA: With all scripts running the pages are now constantly loading. Right now it's loading something to do with the liftdna script. My advice? Cut the scripts down to 5 or less because 30+ is unacceptable and problematic.
ETA2: Results from WebPageTest when I ran forum.xda-developers.com in it. Not sure if this has anything worthwhile in it.

If you allow *.xda-developers.com this should allow the proper scripts to run. The issue is that NoScript will allow forum.xda-developers.com to run, but not the CDN files hosted on another hostname.

The only script like that I'm seeing in the list is xda-developers.com with no prefix.
I'm not sure what I did yesterday but it has been stuck in a reload loop since then. The last time it did this it randomly started up again.

Reloading Issue Resolved
After reading this thread I had an idea. I figured that the constant reloading was definitely due to a script-like extension. Although, I'm on Chrome. The culprit for me was AutoPager. Disabled that and everything loads no problem. Hope this helps some people.

Still stuck in a re-load loop for me both in Firefox 16 and 17 while using no script. Haven't been able to find a working combination yet without disabling the plug-in completely.

Same here. Googleapis has to be loaded for full forum functionality, but it's what causes the reboot loop for me.

I've just gotten really good at hitting the stop button. Oddly enough, I'm not running no-script.

........
...........................................

This happens to me in Chrome (24.0.1312.14 beta-m) from time to time. A refresh / change of page usually makes it go away, but still annoying.
All extensions disabled and it still happens.

annoying
really annoying these constant reloads that are bugging me.
what an irony that a developer forum is not able to solve this :cyclops:

Still happening to me after disabling ABP and whitelisting XDA in noscript.

Same here...
Haven't been here for some time, but now that I upgraded FF to 17 (& have NS installed) the reloading problem happened to me too.

Use "Quick Theme Chooser" at the bottom of the page and change to "---- XDA 2013 Beta - 1024" theme.
