We've blocked them, obviously if you entered your password on their site you need to change it

it seems that their site is down now. I also checked Google with the same query I did yesterday "xda i9506", and they no longer appear in the search results.
[SOLVED]

Guess things haven't change since the last time I used a forum.
(This is my first time registering a forum since 2004).
Thing does not change obviously, you get popular, you get cloned.

Clear your cache if your still getting directed to the old server with the pasword protected database.
Done that, both Firefox and IE direct to the old server

how to change password of my account

This sounds like a stupid question... However, I could not find it anywhere. I logged in and clicked my username following "welcome" and then was directed to the statistics page. Still no change password function there ~
Thanks!!

Thank you so much! This was a big help to me.
NEVER MIND - I 'm a noob!
Why it can't be done inside XDA Labs app? In order to reset password (because I forgot) I had to force close XDA Labs and then go to browser version because emailed conformation link redirected me straight to XDA Labs app again, where I can't reset password. Now that I figured out the trick, this question might look like irrelevant, but still I can't help wondering why such a simple task should involve all that going back and forth and force closing trickery. It's not that it's that difficult, but just including a friendly "forgot password?" question inside XDA Labs login section would be way easier and faster, I guess
BTW... There is no "UserCP" option available over here

If you are using your phone, make sure your browser's user interface is set to "PC" instead of "mobile/android," then click on the gear icon at the top of the page.

Recent Visitors

Why can I not view recent visitors in my own profile? Setting is set to everyone.
And why is the frown smilie the first on the list?
Edit
Forget about frown smilie being first i normally do quick reply
Really, no one has any idea about this?
Moved to About XDA.
I think it's because you haven't had many profile views yet, because I'm able to view your recent visitors fine.
At the moment, it's showing that you have 20 page views and my username is the only one showing at the moment.

Is it definitely set to "Everyone"?
If so, try switching to a different option, saving the changes and then change back again.

Switched all options to friends only then back to everyone. Even logged out an cleared cache, still dont work for me.
I think there's a bug in NomadSpin's profile. There are no other sections visible underneath "Mini Statistics", not even empty ones, which I don't see on anyone else's profile. I would try the "I want to report a technical problem with XDA Forums or Portal" form to be found here. Hope this helps.
Dont know if this might have anything at all to do with it but when I originally created this account I entered my email as @google.com rather than @gmail.com (was a long day). Kinda forget how I fixed that, couldnt validate obviously so came back and changed it somehow. (its been another long day)

That shouldn't affect it... I don't see anything untoward on your profile though, so I'm not sure what's wrong...
I don't leave a trail on profiles I visit though - has anyone other than kid visited the profile?
When I visited it yesterday the section "Recent Visitors" wasn't there at all, but now it is and I see myself as the "last 1 visitor" and "This page has had 26 visits".

I could be mistaken, but your looking at your own profile to get to recent visitors maybe? That triggers that you was most recent to view.
Sent From My HTC Evo 3D Using TapaTalk 2
No, I'm looking at NomadSpin's profile (now stands at 32 visitors with the last 3 named). If I visit my own profile I don't show as a visitor.
I can see the last 4 visitors out of 33 somebody musta fixed it. Thank you who ever you are
Looks like i may have spoken to soon. Now have 37 visitors an can stil only view the last 4, which appears to be the same 4 as before
When I or a number of mods view your profile, it won't be logged, as we chose to disable the "mark" from being left
It's like that given you posted in about xda, that's where most of the views are coming from
I left my mark!

Please bring back the previous login modality

Previously, you could login easily by entering your name and password right away in the bar at the very top. That was very convenient.
However, obviously this was considered too easy and convenient by some, so this was changed to make it more complicated and longwinded. A few days ago, an extra "Login" button was added to the top bar. To login, you're now forced to click on this stupid login button, and only then you can enter your login details.
What's more, now this login button is broken. Clicking it doesn't do anything anymore, it only redirects you to the main page. To login and write this post, I had to click on the "New Thread" button in this "About" forum and then use the login link in the upcoming message. That finally worked.
Please restore the previous convenient login modality, where you can login by entering name and password right in the top bar. The new way, being forced to click the stupid Login button first, is a real hassle and is starting to grate on my nerves

Until the error gets fixed, you can switch to a different theme, let's say, XDA 2013 Beta, and use its functioning login form to login, and then switch back to XDA 2015.
I took a look at the other themes - all of them (2013, 2010 and Classic) still have the name and password fields at the very top, as it should be. It has only been stupidly removed in the 2015 themes to make logging in a pain in the a$$.
I'm currently using 2015 Dark, because the other themes are hideous white eyecancer.

Whatever Its really poor that a forum with over 6 million registered users is not able to fix such elementary bugs in a couple of days. Someone should test the themes before they go online.

Hey, I'm not arguing with you - the issue I brought up actually has nothing to do with what you just said up there ^. Anyway, many people do test the themes extensively, and if there's a small bug here or there, the best thing to do is respectfully report it to the higher-ups, and then be quiet about it so you don't become a nuisance. Our admins (@MikeChannon, @svetius, @bitpushr) work hard every day to keep XDA running smoothly for all of us, and being impatient is a very bad way to thank them for their hard and excellent work.

There may be things that need refined but there was a reason that the extra step was put in place. Unfortunately a significant number of users were confusing the Log In and G+ Sign In buttons. Several users were entering their username and password then clicking the G+ Sign In button instead of the Log In Arrow that's part of the password box. This then caused them to get auto generated questions about associating their account with Google and confusion followed. We were having to deal with several users per day getting confused or unable to sign in under the previous system.

So if the pop up log in bar is no longer appearing for you, you need to give as much info as possible for us to replicate the problem. What browser are you using, have you tried turning off add-ins, does it do it on other browsers etc.

That may well be, but making logging in more of a pain and more complicated for everyone just because a few users were mistaking the G+ button for the forum login button is definitely a BAD IDEA. You really should consider other options to solve this issue, like moving the G+ button to a different location, where it can't be mistaken for the forum login button, e.g. moving it all the way to the left, and/or more clearly labeling the forum Login button, e.g. change the forum login button from ">" to "Login" and the "G+ Sign In" button to just "G+". Then no one would mistake the G+ button for the forum login button anymore.

My browser is Firefox 35.0.1. I haven't changed anything about my browser (i.e. no update to a newer version or any configuration changes), and I haven't changed anything about any of my add-ins either. The login button stopped working out of the blue and is only redirecting me to the front page anymore.
Something more I just noticed: Clicking on "[View]" next to "The Following User Says Thank You to MikeChannon For This Useful Post: " doesn't display the user(s) anymore, but instead redirects me to the homepage, just like clicking the login button does.

What do you mean "login / search forms work exactly one time"? What device are you using? If PC, please state screen resolution, browser, and OS version.

Seems as if I ever want to report a error again, i will try to be more specific.
I'm very happy that you already have fixed all of the reported bugs.
For the last days I have not been able to use with "XDA 2015" designs:
Log in button (The new form did just not show up, so i had no chance to enter my nickname/pw - sometimes it worked once after plenty of tries / clear browser cache)
Notifications button ( By clicking it, i was redirected to "www.xda-developers.com/# )
Search forms (Just did not work)
I tried Opera, Chrome, Chromium and Firefox // Win 7 + Win 8.1 // 1680x1050; 1600x900; 1440x900)
This indicates that there is a Javascript problem in your browser as it is not loading properly. Do you have any extensions like NoScript installed?
If you are on Chrome can you type Ctrl+Shift+J to open the Javascript console and let us know if there are any error messages in there?
Thank you.

Yes I use "scriptblock" but xda is whitelisted. Problem seems to be fixed serversided after some days. I did not change any of my settings and everything works again since today.
Just tried it, and the Login button works again, making the name and password fields appear, so I could successfully login.
Now if you would PLEASE put the name and password fields back in the top bar again, as before, so you don't have to press the Login button to make them appear, I would be most grateful.

I don't think we're going to revert. Most XDA members stay logged in, and for those that aren't members, putting the login form behind a click helps with mistaken clicks, and keeps clutter to a minimum. Thanks again for your feedback.

Well it works here. But as for starters your post lacks all important info. What rom,what firmware, what's been changed. Version numbers......all of that could give more insight in your issue.
