Same thing here (in Firefox). I Google'd it and found that other people having the same problem on other sites too. I checked one of those sites and the same thing happened, page loads a little-bit and then get the blank page when ads.pubmatic.com is being accessed.
The funny thing is I blocked pubmatic.com and ads.pubmatic.com in my hosts file and it's still happening. It doesn't seem to happen in Chrome, though.
For me, I notice when I try to go back in internet explorer it takes like 15 clicks, so I actually use the mouse and click the tab on the top of the xda webpage. If I right click the back arrow for the browser it lists a bunch of ads, which explains why it takes so many clicks to get back. It is like this on every computer I have used xda on recently. Xda is the only site that I have this issue.

Having the same problem accessing this site from my laptop as well ..... arrrrrgh, its also affecting transformer forums. Anyone found a way to fix this problem yet
Blocking via hosts file doesn't appear to work, nor does blocking "ads.pubmatic.com" in Adblock Plus. After configuring the latter, the page still hangs, only this time on google-analytics.com, so now I'm not sure if it's pubmatic.com or something else.
I came across older (2008, 2009) results in Google reporting the same problem with pubmatic.com, so I really have no idea what's going on.

Ok .... I found the solution to this problem with the help of a member on another forum. What I had done wrong was I was not using the latest version of Firefox. Once I updated it both this forum and the other one now work brilliantly again on my laptop.
Hope this resolves your issue with logging into this great forum on your PC / Laptop

Thanks for letting us know, that's good to know there's one way to fix it.
That's not an option for me, unfortunately. There are still add-ons that I can't use outside of FF 3.6x. I'd rather know what exactly is going on and fix it without updating to the FF-Version-of-the-Month.

No problem, will continue to check back to see if you or someone else comes up with another option. I cleared caches, checked add-ons, firewalls rebooted routers and machines and had no luck. It works fine with Chrome as well.
Good luck
Glad I wasn't the only one having this issue, also thanks bimgirl for finding a work around even though I too hate newer versions of Firefox past 3.6.1.6 I will try chrome out.

No, it's definitely not you. I've come across several posts today from various other sites from people who have been experiencing this issue over the past 3-4 days.
I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but many of them are running vBulletin. The issue seems to be restricted to Firefox.
Even after blocking a bunch of pubmatic.com sites in my hosts file, the issue is still happening, only the blank page hangs on www.google-analytics.com. I didn't want to go as far as blocking that, but I did anyway in my Hosts file with no success.
I came across this plug-in that I'm going to try out. This is an official Google addon that allows you to opt-out of google-analytics.com tracking.
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (BETA)
To provide website visitors more choice on how their data is collected by Google Analytics, we have developed the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. The add-on communicates with the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) to indicate that information about the website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics.
If you want to opt-out, download and install the add-on for your current web browser. The Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on is available for Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Opera.

Click to collapse
EDIT: No dice. I installed the addon and now the hanging blank page stops loading. It still jumps to the blank page.
One other comment I read suggested that the sites themselves should verify that they've put the Google Analytics code at the very bottom of their page templates where it belongs. But I would assume that the GA code was put in place a long time ago, and doubt that would be the issue here.
---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
Success!
I added "www.google-analytics.com" to my hosts file, in addition to "google-analytics.com" and everything is fine now.
One thing I didn't try was to only use the Google opt-out addon, without adding any "google-analytics" entries to my hosts file.
If someone who prefers not to alter their hosts file wants to try it the addon-only way, please let us know if it works for you.
Thanks, folks!

Guys! I'm loving my new phone running CM9.
I noticed ICS can not access certain https web sites. No matter what browser I run.
For example:
https://members.premiereinteractive...et=http://www.coasttocoastam.com/member/auth/
Is a login page from premierinteractive to sign into listen to a popular radio show Coast to Coast AM. Before ICS my sgs2 running gingerbread had no issue going to that page. Does anyone have a solution, or do I need to just live with it?

Yep, still wouldn't work. I think it has something to do with the length of the URL. I'm no programmer but somewhere in ICS its not allowing the site to load. It loads just fine with any browser on my wife's 3g Vibrant. I was able to get it to load prior to the ICS upgrade. I'll try the Opera browser.

KeyChain
I might be wrong but it sounds like an SSL issue with ICS's KeyChain API.
In ICS Google has unified all cert/credential management and key exchange into a single API called KeyChain. Any browser which uses its own method of cert management would be exempt from the issue. As far as a fix, if it is KeyChain there is a way to alter the certs list but not without some work in android.security.KeyChain.
If you haven't yet heard, Adobe is ending all support for mobile Flash entirely on August 15th, 2012 (tomorrow). This includes stopping all new downloads of Flash, which means removal of the Flash apk from the Google Play Store. Since we're all enterprising smartphone users who still want to use Flash, I request that someone post the stock apk file. Even if we have backups like Titanium for the system data, it's nice to have a clean apk to download from for our future phones, especially since mobile Flash effective has no future.
Thanks in advance.
Google search for the apk. I know for a fact it's posted in many threads in the Nexus 7 forum.
Here is Adobe Flash 11 on Box.

Anyone having major problems with flash player working? I can't seem to get it to work. I installd and restored like 3 different versions and they all do the same thing. When I open a page with a flash video in it it appears normal (a white box with the little download symbol thingy in the middle) but when I press the video it shows a little blue box with a "x" in it I think or something like that. I've also tried different roms (a tw rom and cm9) and I get the samee result.

Am I the only one who paid attention when Adobe said flash will no longer accept new installs but you can find it in the archives?
Go to adobe.com and click downloads and then flash and choose android...it'll take you to the playstore to download it.

This was posted by a user called Glace at the Google Play:
I was excited by all the features and customization of this browser, but using SwiftKey Keyboard, inserting a space into a textarea scrolls the page down and doesn't insert the space. I even tried copying a space and pasting it in and it did the same thing. That makes this browser useless for my purposes, which is a shame.

I am also having the same problem on my 7 inch Tab 2 using Chrome on the XDA site. Also, sometimes when I'm just kind of idle on a post, I get redirected to a porn app site. I think Boink is the name of it.
Edit: I switched to Opera beta browser, and it fixed the problem. Until I made this post, now it also does the same thing. No problem with my Epic Touch though.
I am having the exact same issue. It is refreshing the whole page automatically, and refreshing when I scroll. Completely unusable!
This is happening on my Samsung Note 8.0. Tried both Chrome and Chrome beta with the same results. Please fix this.
The only way I've found to get around this problem is by using the xda app. I've tried countless browsers with no prevail. Opera beta, and One have given the best results though.

Holy crap!!! I thought I was going crazy!! The night this happened a porn site popped up on my Tab while I was browsing xda. Ever since then the site has been unusable on my mobile devices. (just in case anyone is wondering, I have never visited a porn site on my tab, other family members use it so that is a no no)
I also get this popup when on the xda site using my tab: The page at ad.yield.manager.com says: Install Candy Crush Saga Now!
Can anyone from xda confirm there is an issue?
Edit: I also get a page loading error when clicking on the forum tab using chrome on my tab as well.

Same here, never been to a porn site either. Candy Crush crap pops up on me too, as a matter of fact, it popped up while I was typing this post. Sure would be nice if an xda moderator or admin would take notice to this thread. These problems are totally uncalled for.

I've got a Nook HD+ that has the stock B&N OS on it, and I just thought to test it, and I get the same behaviour: chrome keeps reloading xda forums when I'm logged in, but doesn't when I'm not. I've got a Nexus 7, too. Lemme see if I get the same behavior on it....
Yes! Exactly the same. My Nexus 7 is running cm10.1, and chrome reloads xda forums, every second or so, as long as I'm logged into xda. As soon as I log out, it stops reloading. Just for fun, I tried using the old Android "Browser", and it doesn't do that.
So, it appears to be totally independent of Hardware and OS. There's something incompatible between chrome and xda forums, but only when you're logged in to xda.
PS: not *totally* independent of hardware and OS: I don't get that behavior on any of my three Ubuntu 13.04 machines. Seems to be limited to Android-based OS's.
Nice man! I've tried it on my Galaxy Tab2 7.0, and my Epic 4g Touch. The tablet is the only one that reproduces this problem. On the tab, I've tested a few different but browsers, and so far Chrome, Opera, and Firefox have all produced the same result. Just that Opera gave the fewest issues. I deleted the stock browser, so I haven't tried it yet, and still havent tried it while logged out. The only way I have found to avoid any problems is to use the XDA app, but I'm sure there are a few like me, that have had small problems (like attaching pics,) also. Hopefully xda/the mods will find this issue great enough to fix it.

I think it's a Chrome-specific issue... Oh, I see that kthomson205 says it happens on Firefox and Opera, too.
I saw in some other thread where somebody created a new xda profile and they didn't experience the problem with the new profile. So, it may be limited to some very specific set of options in your xda profile.
I just reinstalled chrome on my Tab2. Logged in, scrolled thru several pages. Making this post via Chrome
No issues for me.
EDIT::
Replicated the issue by ticking "Request desktop site" in Chrome's menu. Unticked "Request desktop site" and the reloading stopped.
