Sup XDA people.
When I'm navigating the index pages with all the forums and threads, going back and forth in tabs makes the page refresh. This isn't happening with threads however. Is there any way to turn this kind of updating off?

Recently I have been noticing that I cannot use my back button. I'm using IE9 and clicking the back button doesn't seem to do anything. If I click and hold the back button I can see a list that is:
http://ads.xda-developers.com/tags/3884
If I click on the bottom of the list and click and hold again I get a long list of the same url. If I do this eight or ten times, I finally see the actual last page I visited. I'm not a programmer but I believe that what is happening is that all the ads on the page are reloading several times.
Is this my setup or is this happening to everyone? This has never happened here before and it happens nowhere else. I have found sites that don't allow the back button or somehow reload the current page but I have never seen this long list of seemingly meaningless identical urls.
What's going on?
I am having the same issue. Anyone ever find a solution to this?
You had another thread like this. Are you sure it is not just your back button? Are you clicking it right lol. Again, please for the good of humanity use a different browser. You will be very happy with chrome or firefox. But because many do not use IE, they cannot help.
Also the link is broken for me.
And does this have anything to do with XDA? I think Microsoft have their own dedicated forums for this kind of thing.
As of a couple of hours ago threads I read keep showing as unread on usercp. Even marking all forum as read doesn't help.

XDA had a little hiccups. My actions appeared after 2-3 hours. Be patient
thank you, even that thread appeared after a while.
I am glad to report the issue have been resolved by now.
thank you.
I seem to have this problem at the moment, none of the threads I read are marked as read. Any hiccups at the moment. Same goes for the Notifications, it doesn't reset to zero once I visited that section.
I've noticed xda takes a long time to open and change pages in my browser (Chrome). It frequently times out and gives me an error message. Sometimes I can push it to finish opening by pressing F5 (reload). Other times I have to close it and open again. This happens FREQUENTLY. I have also noticed several video ads that run automatically in multiple windows. I can pause one of them at a time by clicking on it, but of course, this doesn't help with the slow loading problem.
Is there any way to opt out of these videos (one seems to show women in sportswear making sushi) or just shut them off? I suspect that this is the problem.
Its been happening to me too, I just came to this thread to report this. I have an adblock so not sure about the ad but Its talking way longer time to load and sometimes i get error that unable to reach website.
I am using safari on mac.
Thanks

Mate, consider the fact XDA is currently frequented from thousands and thousands people. This could mean - in some cases - their servers could be sometimes overloaded, producing the annoyances you experienced.
This was caused by a bad DNS server - it is all fixed up now so your speed should be fine. Closing this thread, for any issues in the future please visit the XDA issues thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987254
Maybe its just me but, when I browse around the xda website, it seems like the frequency of ads that pop up on the screen is rapildy increasing. Also, the screen seems to jerk around alot as the ads are loaded up. I sometimes feel like I'm walking on a mine field that is shifting all about. It can be annoying and disruptive when I'm trying to go to a particular thread and such. I know XDA has to keep the lights on but Is there a way to turn this stuff off on a browser, especially on my phone. What do folks do to minimize this on xda.(Tap talk?) Thanks!
Have you noticed random web page freezes (around 10 seconds), when writing posts using Google Chrome with Samsung Keyboard, Spell Checking on? Not browser, just the web page.
I even noticed a couple of freezes when browsing through online stores, and I think it's related to a keyboard, because I brought it up when changing product quantity numbers.
Spell checking also appears to be broken. When word is underlined indicating there's spelling error, clicking word only shows empty box, this leads me to believe it's related to freezes.
If you experienced it, have you figured out a way to fix this?
When writing long posts, these occasional freezes can wreak chaos, because while page is frozen, any additional words you type and accidental edits you make, appear after page unfreezes. It also wastes time, because if you're editing something in the middle of the text, you can't continue writing, and have to wait for unfreeze.
Off-topic question:
When writing a long post, accidentally hitting back or home button can be upsetting - the post is gone. Can you make browser remember these posts, so you can return and continue writing? So far my solution is to select all and copy, which is tedious.
Thanks.
Update
I noticed Chrome freezes randomly even without opening Samsung keyboard, simply browsing the web and page freezes. I also thought it's not the browser but the web page, but opening tab switcher while the page is frozen and opening a new tab sometimes (when the page freezes randomly while browsing the web), freezes entire browser, after around 10 seconds browser unfreezes. Any fix suggestions or what can be causing this? Tried wiping cache, but didn't help, I don't think reinstall will help, but I'll try it after some backing up.
Try this test, browse, XDA for example, through Chrome on your S20 devices for a weak, no PC or other devices or apps, write posts, etc, and report your results here. I also don't have any ad-blocking/ad-free, so to reproduce this enable ads as well.
Also, try using it with Samsung keyboard to maybe make problem more reproducible. Enable spell checking in keyboard settings, so words become underlined. Also enable dark mode.
I'm worried maybe it's RAM? Or SSD?
Hope not.. * sigh *
Edit
Searched the web more thoroughly this time, and apparently this is a big issue. Google search: s20 chrome freezing.
Some think it's related to 120 Hz mode, but then report it's freezing on 60 Hz as well, so seems like not refresh rate related. People even report this freezing occurs on Android system WebView powered apps.
No fix yet.
