Unable to View Attachments in XDA Forum from Chrome Browser - About xda-developers.com

I am unable to view attachment images/links in forum posts when viewing in the chrome browser. When i try to access the same page in another browser (Firefox), the attachments appears fine. I am not sure what the problem might be. I have AdBlock DISABLED. Also no other extension/plugin is active in the browser, to be causing the problem. Kindly suggest some remedial action. I am attaching screen shot of the problem below :

That's really weird. All I use is Google Chrome and I've never experienced that issue. In fact, I use Chrome on my Galaxy Tab 2 and don't have that issue either. Sorry, I have no suggestions to fix the issue either. All my plugins are enabled too.

[Q] Cannot view attachments anymore!

Hello guys, I got a little question...
My computer cannot display the attached pictures properly; when I click on the attachments, a white blank page opens with the text "No input file specified." I tried using FF, Chrome and IE, it's all the same.
Seems like nobody else has this problem... Can you help me?
Thanks in advance!
Try logging out and logging back in? Try clearing your browser cache and cookies?
Already tried clearing them, but unfortunately doesn't work for me... After logging out, still the same.
Can you post the link of the attachment you are trying to view?
It should look something like http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=726013&d=1316570603
I'm trying to view the attachments of this post; other people can verify that these are working fine, but I have no clue why my computer can't display them properly.
Update: The attachments redirect me to the link "http://attachments.xda-developers.com/forum/attachment.php...", it seems like the "/forum" part is the problem. When I remove it, the picture is displayed correctly!
Thanks for the info...I've alerted the server admin, and it has now been fixed
Thank you very much, everything is back to normal now!

same problem here ... i suppose since the latest chrome v 23 update ... but some threads are working, some not ...
I have an other problem with Chrome and XDA (Windows).
Whenever I close Chrome and restart it, I'm logged out at XDA, although I check "Remember Me".
This is pretty annoying.
Maybe someone has an idea what I can do, I have this problem only on XDA.

No problems here, using Chrome Version 23.0.1271.64 m
I face the issues described here when I use Firefox 16.0.2 on Windows 7 (32 or 64 bit doesn't matter, same problem on two different PC's). The forum will reload the page over and over and over again until I deny to run scripts using NoSript for xda-developers.com. Using Google Chrome (23.0.1271.64m) there is not a problem.
Edit: Now Chrome starts to reload the forum pages over and over again, too.
The others are talking about desktop, not mobile. There is no App for those.

Same issue with Firefox and No Script on windows. I'd be interested in what is causing it if you find out. Likewise, I am enabling and disabling the MANY ad and tracker scripts running on this site.
A fresh profile of Chrome sorted this.No idea how.Same add-ons.

Whenever I hit the back key on my mouse on XDA in Chrome I go back two pages instead of one. Very frustrating. Does not seem to happen in Firefox.
My default browser is Firefox and I have none of the mentioned problems. On Chrome however the pages reload over and over again, just like described here.
Same problem here... Attachment loaded but UI messed up... And I couldn't add smilies... -_-
Happen on mozilla firefox too...
I have issues while using. Xda in browsers too,
But only in my home,
I cant even use the 2013 theme it gets garbled up
In my gf's place everythings fine,
I think it's your ISP, DNS, or browser extentions that is causing the problem

i've chrome and the page has automatic reload

[Q] Why would my mobile browser redirect me away from "https//"???

Sorry up front if this is posted in the wrong location...
I am having a problem, I don't know if its the ROM (FreeGS3) or the way the browsers are configured. I have used Firefox, Default, and Dolphin, I always set them to "Desktop" mode.
Here is my problem, I go to Facebook website and I get a redirected away from what I have discovered to need to be "https" instead it sends me to "http" with gives me an html text page. If I go back up to the web address line and add the "s" in front of the "http" web address it then displays the correct web page as it should.
Can someone please tell me or direct me as to how to fix this???
It is driving me crazy...
Further Clarifications...

To further clarify Facebook requires the secured web address when navigating after log in. Not sure why my browser would not direct me properly execept maybe for this reason...
From Google Development..."Redirects and User-Agent Detection
Automatic redirection
When a website is configured to serve desktop and mobile browsers using different URLs, webmasters may want to automatically redirect users to the URL that best serves them. If your website uses automatic redirection, be sure to treat Googlebot and Googlebot-Mobile just like any other user-agent and redirect them appropriately.
Irrelevant redirects
A common issue is redirecting users to irrelevant pages. For example, if a user visits example.com/article29, your website should redirect them to the equivalent mobile-optimized page, such as m.example.com/article29, instead of to the m.example.com homepage. This makes sure that incoming links and users' bookmarks work across devices."

Links not opening in Chrome

I just got my Pixel XL yesterday since I've set it up I've had this problem. When I open links, regardless of the app I open them from, they do not open in Chrome or whatever I have set for my default browser. Instead they open a sort of overlay WebView window. To clarify, these are not opening in the apps internal browsers (Like what is available in Twitter or Facebook). I have cleared all the default handlers, changed default browsers, tried from multiple apps, but this continues. I even did a chat with Google support and they claim this is supposed to happen. I have a video below of what I'm talking about. In the video I am clicking a link and instead of Chrome coming up, a window appears on top of Twitter and the link is rendered there.
Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this?

Do you have any 3rd party browsers installed or any "multi-window" apps installed?

I do not. Chrome is the only installed browser. Every app I have was also on my S7 before I switched and it did not have anything like this going on, even on the Nougat beta. I have never seen anything like this before.
Gotcha, and what app are you using to show the links to begin with? Sorry if I missed it in the OP.
EDIT: It has to be the originating app?

This happens regardless of the originating app. It happens in Gmail, Inbox, Facebook, Twitter, my Reddit client, everywhere that has links that would normally be handled by the default browser.
This is part of nougat.. kind of.
Previously in android apps could use something called web view. Basically it was a built in generic mini browser that the app developer could customize to their liking and make it look however they wanted.
Now with Nougat they are trying to keep everything looking similar so apps can now use the mini browser thing which is part of Google chrome. Sounds like those apps your using might be using the old web view still

This is not a WebView window like I've ever seen. Nor is it a Chrome Custom Tab. I have never seen anything like what my video shows.
I guess I'm just going to have to do a screen share support call with Google and hope they have a solution, even if it is a factory reset.
Have you tried opening your Google app from the app drawer, going into settings > accounts and privacy, and disabling "open web pages in app"?
Ya, this is a confusing one.

I watched your video. Yes that's different from what I get. Looks kinda cool. Looking forward to hearing what Google tells you.
A factory reset did the job. The only explanation I can think of is that for some reason my phone couldn't set a default browser. Anything that had an open to go from internal to external browsers (such as Twitter or Facebook) showed "Open in" instead of "Open in Chrome" even though my system settings showed Chrome as my default. Also, one of my default browsers listed was the Setup Wizard. I am thinking this is shenanigans from doing a USB transfer setup from an S7 on the Nougat beta.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!

The good news is you got it straight! :good:
Sorry to necro, but I have this problem now and I'm really not trying to factory reset after all the work I've done making this phone mine. Are there any developments on this? The WebView thing doesn't support YouTube which is killing me the most. A Google product that doesn't support YouTube...madness....
If anyone else finds this, disabling the Setup Wizard app resolves the issue. That app just tries to open all links rather than letting the default browser do the job.
I went through this exact situation, and couldn't figure it out. Here is a link to the thread i had started going through the entire process, its about 3 pages. It started with gmail, then got widespread. My end result was a reset also.

website links don't launch to proper site

So I looked around for a solution but couldn't seem to find something for this particular issue. It's not a big deal but annoying when I click a link from a google search or click on a website shortcut I placed on my home screen it appears for a second it's going to open the intended webpage but simply opens whatever last website I was on and/or the default home page in chrome. I tried toggling with the google setting to open web pages in app but either way the problem persists. Any insight or advice is appreciated.
