Every time I come to XDA I have to sign in. This is the only page it happens to. (except the secure pages like banks and credit cards and such) But facebook, android forums and other chat sites work fine. How can I stop this. And yes, the box is checked to keep me signed in.
make sure ur browser has no setting to autoclear cookies (i dun know it has something to do wid cookies or not )
also try a different xda theme before u log in (i use xda 2013 1024)

I think it has to do something with cookies. I set my browser (Firefox) to delete cookies after each session. If I close the browser and get to the site, I have to login again.
If I quit the firefox process using the task manager on Linux, I am signed in.

I use Chrome, I don't remember making changes, but that might have happened over the last upgrade. So I made a few changes myself, and I will see if that helps. But thanks for the idea's.
Am using chrome here too and it also happens with me
Will try the suggestions though

Funny, I got here fine. But if I use my bookmark, I will have to logon again. I think it has to do with Chrome.

ha same here
i bookmarked it as well
Same on aosp browser using bookmark.
What's weird is if I open a link in a new window once I'm on xda, that page will be signed in, or after a few pages.
I created new bookmarks but it's the same.
Well, the problem has seem to go away. At least for the last couple days.
Not for me, problem is still here, tried deleting cookies etc.

Hello. Newbie here. Sometimes I'm signed in when I load the forum page, but many times I'm not. It seems to me that it occurs when some time passes, but I'm not quite sure yet.
I have the same problem. It would reguide me to http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php?nocache=1 after I logged in.
Same problem here. On chrome too.
Have XDA in my bookmarks bar and every time I click it, I will be logged out although I checked remember me on my previous login. Only happens with XDA, not with any other site. However, I dont have to always log back in again, if I flick through the website, on most threads it will show me as logged in but sometimes on some pages it will show me as logged out.
Strange
I am having this same exact problem. I can replicate it on multiple computers. Very annoying!

I have the same issue with Opera cookies enabled, now I have to use the nasty IE8 beta to enter XDA and problem solved
I guess Opera 9.24 is the culprit. It pains me to open IE.
thats why Firefix FTW
Now it is happening the same with IE or Opera or FF
XDA logs me out every 5 min.
Is there a problem on the site?
well if you click "remember me" when you are logging in than it will never kick you out unless you delete your cookies/empty ie cache/history folders. That what i do .... than again i am on xda all the time so i guess it makes sense for me .. lol
You guys should give chrome a try, i never have problems (plus its fasttttttt.)
I've never had an issue with Firefox/IE7... But I have it set to remember me as it saves logging in again...

Thanks for the suggtion already tested and it´s nice and fast as you say, but very limitated now... maybe in a couple of years could be a good substitute, meantime Opera is the best!
PD This issue only happens on this site, but I´m get used to that anoying problem...
Just as the title states I cannot log in using the desktop site. I have tried on both themes. When I log in on the 2013 theme it says successful but then diverts me back to the logon screen. If I revert to the 2010 theme it states that I am logged on, and it gives me the options to reply, quote ect ect. But when I click on these links the website throws me back to the log in screen. After I log in it says successful but then diverts me to the log in screen and so on....
I am on chrome with win7. I have tried to delete the cookies from my browser thinking that it might help but no joy. I know of one other user so far experienceing this. Anybody got any ideas on how to fix this??
Thanks heavy.

There's been quite a few people having this very problem over the last few days. From what we've noticed, it's mainly the people who are using Chrome.
Try switching to a different browser and see if that solves the issue.

Try clearing your cache and cookies. Cookies sometimes get corrupt and things like that result.
For the record I am using Chrome and have no problems logging in.
Been having problems for a week. It will say "Thankyou for logging in, NomadSpin" however the page is the same, no control panel, no log out button, no way to post. If activex filtering is on turning it off works. If activex is off turning it on works. I log out clear cache, history etc. (ccleaner) an try an log back in it happens all over again. Out of curiousty i did try and reset browser settings (3 times this last week). Suspected that would not help anyhow since xda is the only site im having this problem with.

Try clearing all your cookies and caches in firefox...then login again...hope that helped !
Try checking off the "Remember Me" box - this resets the cookie so it should allow you to log in.

What is the error you are seeing?
If I try to log in via the top right login box, I get a message that I logged in successfully, but I come back to a non-logged in page. But if I try to reply to any thread, I get another login screen in the center, and using that, the login sticks.
Seems the top login box isn't setting either the cookie, or the session or both properly.

I had similar problems, I can login now from the top login box.
Another problem that has occured since yesterday, normally I open the forum in subscribed and do a right-click to open a link in a new tab.
Since yesterday opening a new tab brings me to the same page that I left from.
EDIT:
When I do a left-click on a link, it doesn't open the link but refreshes the page.
EDIT 2:
The problems seem to be fixed.

Does anyone know how to make the browser default to Desktop? There's nothing I want to see in mobile view.
Type "about:debug" without the quotes in the address bar of the browser and hit go. A message about java will show up on the top. Click it and ignore any errors. Now hit menu and settings. there will be a new option called debug. Click it and go to uastring change it to desktop. Restart the browser and your done. You might need to reboot not sure
Thanks.. That worked great until I rebooted. Youtube still went to the mobile site. I went back to the java menu and the agent was still checked desktop. Works fine as long as the java script console is on.. Might have to use another browser..

I know on htc devices using about:debug was only good for that browsing session. You'd have to redo it anytime you close then reopen browser. You could try to set your homepage to about:debug to make it a little easier, but the browser would have to be modded to force it to keep those settingd. Its on my list of things I want to do but will likely be quite a while before I get to it. Search the forum for browser UAstring mod. You may find something that can help. I know some htc roms had it, not sure about samsung though.

Use a different browser. Maybe dolphin or xscope or firefox.
I guess I'll use Opera, it works just fine and the desktop agent stays. I liked the stock browser and got used to it. Oh well, no problem.

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
i use ghostery, adblock and wot
So Gmail started this thing (not sure when), where it uses a built in browser to handle all links and URL. I assume this is based off chrome, and that's fine if it worked.... BUT IT DONT!
Half the time I get this (see pics) when trying to open a link, and when it does manage to load a page, objects/links all over the page refuse to work. This sucks as I use my Gmail for ALOT of things.
I've tried long holding the links and selecting "open in browser" but I get this stupid built in thing again. Sometimes I can copy the link and open and paste in chrome, but sometime it will just copy the image instead of the link so I end up downloading a picture of the link I want to visit.
I've tried disabling the browser option in Google settings for Google search, but it seems to not affect gmail.
For example today I got an email saying a bill was due, it had a "click here to pay" link. I click on the link, but only get this continuous loading screen. I tried to "open in browser" same thing. So I tried coping URL and pasting in chrome, but only managed to download "xxxx/xx/x/payment.jpg" I wasn't able to actually visit the link hours later when I was near a PC.
So In short my question is.....
How can I disable Gmail's useless built in browser.
Sorry for repeating a bunch of things.

I wonder if this has to do with the default handling of links? As in, under Android Settings, Apps, App Settings, "Browser App".
So I have found out it's a chrome thing, not Gmail. Noticed this when I went to open a link in an app and I got the same window.
I cleared all data from chrome, went to Gmail and tried to open a link, and it presented me with full screen chrome, but after logging back in to chrome and reopening the link in gmail again it gave me that bull crap floating windows thing. It reminds me of paranoid androids halo feature.
Anyways, I can't find anything in chrome regarding this.

Do you use Chrome as your browser, or are you using something else for browsing the web?
OK I think I found what might be causing this issue. Make sure your settings under Developer Settings are the same as mine here:

Chrome is the only browser type application I have installed, and my settings are the exact same as pictured. Sadly I'm still having the problem. I guess I'm going to swap out chrome for another application. Possibly yubrowser or some "Qualcomm optimized browser" to see if it persist.

If I scroll down and select the link to download the latest version, I get the windowed thing (see attached pic), but if I select the changelog link or the link to the stable releases, it opens normally.

No it is not. I only use titanium to freeze and defrost my smart watch apps (pebble, martian notifier) so I don't have persistent notifications. Thanks for the help but this is getting irritating.
***************************************
Correction, it is!
However it's weird because I personally didn't freeze it, and it's not allowing me to defrost it. I can see the option "enable web view" in the play store, but when I select it nothing happens and it remains frozen/disabled.

OK. You want that to remain frozen. I'm pretty sure you need to change the Developer Options I posted earlier in order to actually defrost it, but it wouldn't help you in this situation anyway. I can find a few other threads of people having a similar issue, but with no fix listed.

Doesn't look like it. Well I'm going to keep this updated with any info i find. I may try rolling back chrome a few versions.
It seems I'm also no longer able to open play store links through the play store either, This stupid browser implementation takes it over without asking a thing. No defualts are set, this is taking away some real functionality from my device.
