I notice that the forums don't load after I post... and that it doesn't update my thread views like normal... for instance it tells me a thread is new even though I have already seen it.
Anything change in the past couple weeks?

I get this sometimes. To Fix it:
Log out and clear all your cookies (even though log out tell's you they are all cleared). If you using Firefox 3, click the Icon to the left of the address bar, the click More Information, Security Tab, View Cookies, and remove any remaining.
Somethings have changed, but this problem occured before and after the changes for me.

I noticed I am not being sent to redirection pages... I think this is part of the issue... I will PM Flar
I sometimes get this. Often hitting refresh seems to fix the problem.
I'm getting the message on my Treo, something along the lines: 'a script causing device slow may become unresponsive'
Testing to see if I still get the white screen
Yep still getting them

Hrm, big bump in the road:
the thing causing the quick reply function not to work properly is a google ad. I removed it because I thought that it was an old, incorrectly working ad on the wrong location. But it turns out it's our ad hack that supplies us with 2/3's of our monthly income.
Now let me get this very straight: we are not in this to get rich, the current ad income is enough to keep xda-dev running but losing 2/3 to gain a correctly working quick reply function, will get us into serious money problems very soon.
So the only thing I can do at the moment is break the quick reply function and enable the ads, whilst searching feverishly for a better solution.
I'm well aware of vbulletin.org so I will be searching my ass of there, and try every possible solution they have, but untill the time comes where I've found a working ad solution, I hope you can all avoid the quick reply function.
I'm very sorry to have to make decision, but I hope you can all see that this the lesser of 2 problems.
Best regards,
Flar

Ditto to that LOL or for me I just forget that there is a problem and post and then hope that it really goes through and my long rant wasn't lost forever LOL
ive removed this thread, xda did not ask me to do this, i am doing it on my own, because i no longer wish to make this app public, thank you for your understanding
so this app will connect me to a secured wifi point without entering a password ?
no, lets say youre at school, and you along with everyone else at your school is connected to the schools wifi, you turn on this app, and it will tell you all of the facebook users, amazon users, youtube users ect.. for example it will say facebook: John Dow, Will Smith, Papa Smurf, and so on, with a list of users. just click one of those users, and youre now logged in to their facebook, you can change their status, account info, upload a picture, or snoop through pictures. if youre on youtube, upload a video, change favorites, anything youd do on youtube normally.. if youre on amazon, buy them a flat screen, or some pokemon cards (what ever people use amazon for anyways..) whatever.. get it?

Always connect to those sites using SSL. (use HTTPS in front). Most big websites such as twitter or facebook have an option in your account settings to force use HTTPS and stop storing non-SSL cookies. (but you need to delete current one)
This tool kind of made such attacks slightly more mainstream, although they've been there since ip. http://codebutler.github.com/firesheep/
This is legit. It's been posted over at Engadget.
It is probably completly illegal though

Hi all,
Since the last view days I randomly get redirected smartphonegirls.com when I am browsing to xda-developers forum with my android devices. It didn't really happen with my laptop yet so I don't know if catched smth like a virus or similar. However I truly doubt it as it happens with both my android devices and one of them was just freshly flashed.
Does any one else have this problem as well?

I have never heard of this. Might be an app you have installed on the decices
Yes, I can confirm this and I could do without it as well. Any way to stop it?
We are trying to track this down right now... It appears difficult to reproduce though.
Is this over wifi or 3G? What provider do you have as well?
Got the same site and done some investigation here. Identified 2 sites ( wetter24.de and epicfail.com) where this site pop ups.
I downloaded an useragent modifier for firefox and switched it to android. Then I use http header to see where the redirect will be done or which object is responsible for it. It looks like that google ads could be the reason, because the ads are dynamically and probably a js will be execute the redirect.
Unfortunately I can´t exactly identify the object and today I got the page again.

I never had it via 3G yet, but I mostly (>90%) use WiFi so I can't really rule that out.
Provider would be Vodafone Germany.
At least for me it only occures with my Android devices - I never experienced it with my Laptop (running Linux Mint 12 with latest FF version from repos 10.0.2)
On Android I have
SGSII with CheckROM RevoHD v6 & RedPill Kernel Rev1.3 (GB)
Acer Iconia A500 with Taboonay 3.1 ROM (ICS)
It happened with both devices so far. On the Acer it was actually when only had very few apps installed (which I don't think might be responsible for it as I used them since a long time)
What I also suspect is that it only happens when I am not logged in to the site. At least it never happened to me so far when I was logged in.
I hope this helps a bit. If there is anything you would like me to test, please let me know. I am happy to assist in any way I can.
/schaze
It just happened again.
Here is what I did (using WiFi)
searched in google search for xda developers
clicked on the result which actually leads to xda developers forum
wait until the site loads completely
just before it is finished loading the redirect occurs and I can see the sie with the FSK18 (thats an age classification - means you need to be 18 to see the content ...bla bla..9 red symbol warning
see attached screenshot.
my redicect actually goes to:[nourl]http://cat.m.smartphonegirls.de/wwf-splashTool/SEO/iGirls_wap_fsk18_kw14_16?transaction_id=10396fe92e93a57bca7eb007875b4e&path=SPOQ[/nourl]
Using Wifi is the only way that you can reproduce this.
Then what might be happening:
You normally connect through mobile webpages through your droid.
When you are on an open wifi connection, it lets alot more data flow in and out of your droid. Searching for xda and maybe clicking on a searched link will send you there first.
FIX: Save xda as your favorite or home page and it will go straight to the actual site instead of sending you through click.it links etc.

I understand, but the redirect happens from xda-developers. I can see the xda url in the browser while XDA is loading (there is nothing preceeding it), the redirect occurs only at the end of loading the XDA developer page. So I don't think that problem is coming from the link I click to get to XDA.

Or just cancel further loading before the redirect occurs.... It is no big issue which keeps me from using XDA - But my main concern was that it was actually happening at all and I wasn' t sure if I catched smth on my devices or if it is a general problem.
I could reproduce this on xda-developers.com. Unfortunately I can´t post the headers because its not allowed for me to post urls.
If the xda-developers admins like to have the entire header stack just give me a short message. Really strange thing.
The same happens, randomly as well, with the site androidcommunity.com. Both with the android bowser and chrome beta. This is f.... annoying. Any ideas how to avoid this?

I figured out the related redirect. But I cant post it due to url policies. It comes from...
"tracking.kissmyads.com"
If you want the details give me a short info.
Have uploaded the headers for review.
Had the same experience today with Opera Mobile on the "Cyanide & Happiness" page (webcomic). Looked at the latest strip and redirected as soon as the page was fully loaded. Didn't happen on the built-in browser though.
Tried setting the user agent from mobile to desktop and it seems to have fixed it. Switched back to mobile for testing and didn't get the ad again yet. Hopefully that helps.
Hi,
sorry when this may be the wrong forum but I have no idea where else I can write.
I wanted to use the contact form (http://www.xda-developers.com/contact) to report an urgent issue but I cannot use it.
I tried it with firefox and chrome and doing this on several days in the last week but when I click on the "send" button an arrow is displayed which is moving around and keeps moving for hours - nothing more happening.
It doesn't matter which one I try - I tested 2 (urgent and contact the webmaster).
I have no idea how to contact xda and wanted to know if this is a problem only for me or if others having the same problem?
Thanks in advance

I've heard this a lot but I have tested on different browsers and haven't been able to reproduce this. Are you using any browser extensions that might block 3rd party scripts? Can you check the browser console when you try to send the comment to see if there is an error message? You can use the Technical contact form which goes directly to me.
Hi,
Thanks for taking some time on this!
I've tried with FF (x86) and chrome, normal and private mode. I'm on W8.1.
I have only two extension in FF : ghostery and abp.
ABP always off in xda and I deactivate ghostery for testing .
The send button still spinning but nothing else happen. (try every combination)

And as you said, It seem like it's just a bug for two people, the OP and me. No one else came here to report too. So .....?

I wanted to report that I have the same issue. I tried the webmaster contact form and I also just get the spinning arrow. I have tried several times over at least a month. I have tried both Firefox and Opera on two different Windows 10 machines, Firefox on a Linux machine and Dolphin Browser on my phone. I have had no luch with any of these.
Is there any other information, or anything else I could try to help debug this issue?

I saw your post in another thread. But no one else is having this issue. It must be related to your system, or internet connection.
Which theme are you using?
Sorry do interrupt you but this thread is about "contact forms unusable"

still the same.
Now I wanted to report issues with all XDA dev DB projects (cant upload new screenshots and downloads) but I'm not able to report this because I cannot use the contact forms..

This can be caused by extensions or settings requesting pages in the background. This feature is called "prefetching" and requests links before you actually click on them. It's fast for user experience but hammers the server. You shouldn't be hitting the 429 rate limit unless there are a lot of requests coming to the server.
Me too, I only go to the forum a few times a day and get this error every time?
It's getting that way, it's not worth the effort.
Doesn't seem to be any fix for the issue, or, am I missing some thing?

Disable prefetching in your browser, this "feature" causes the browser to load a bunch of pages in the background. On a busy site like XDA we rate limit pages to prevent abuse, imagine if everyone loading a page actually loads 20 pages in the background.
Tried the 3 main browsers on my personal Windows 10 laptop, connected to my S9 hotspot. The problem happens on all 3 browsers when I try to download 1 file (CyanogenMod for Note 4 https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=19462)
Tried my work laptop on my work's network connection, same error in both FFox & IE11 on Windows Server 2012.
Tried on 2 different T-Mobiles phones in the Chrome broswer - same error.
Seems like the "429 rate limit" is crap on XDA. I haven't been on this website in years - kinda sad to see such a silly configuration problem causing so much grief for users.
Anyone know a different source for the 2nd newest unofficial CM for the Verizon Note 4 (the latest release fails to boot - stuck on CM logo)? I really really want/need it. Thanks!

Every time I log on here after a while not being on here I get the rate-limited screen.

same issue here too
Just registered and can't even change profile settings because of this.

That's what I tried to do as well, but still kept getting the error. What started working now is if I open any of the forums and get the error, I just click on the reload button in the browser, than the page loads up. Everything seems to work though in the XDA forum app.
