I don't get it.
If I use the Android XDA app, the Marketplace is visible in General. Using a real browser however, it's not. A quick search for a link into the Marketplace rears a permissions error. And all of this without being registered. So what gives? Something I'm missing here?

Oh, so it's now visible. After glancing through the rules/disclaimer it appears it'll become accessible after 8 posts for a noobjuice member. Clever.

You need more posts and/or a longer membership (I can't recall the details).
Guess the Tapatalk app needs fixing .

It's not the app...we've changed the permission on the Marketplace to not allow access to a user until he/she has made 8 posts. That 8 post level is also the same point at which you can post links. It's just an anti-spam measure. We found people were registering at XDA just to spam the site or the Marketplace. This helps.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
This is good to know. Long time lurker and finally signed up so I could post in the marketplace but alas!
Can someone link to the rules for gaining access to the Marketplace? I have 8 posts but still cannot see it. Tried logging out and back in but still nothing
For a while there I thought I needed to check my eye sight. Makes sense now.
Hard to achieve 8 post if you have nothing to say or to discuss or if everything is so well explained that you do not need answers
Maybe you could add a waiting time also. Lets say after 4 weeks you get to see the market, I highly doubt anyone would wait 4 weeks just to spam something.
It doesn't make sense that you can view the Marketplace before you sign up (and then have it dissapear after you are a member).
oh!! so thats why i couldnt c the marketplace
I am new here. it seem that this is an useful forum.
welcome to forums
Once you become an active/regula user all XDA features will be unlocked and you will be able to post in marketplace, this rule is to protect us from spammers/scammers
Ah I was wondering why I wasn't able to see that deal I saw anymore... guess I'm off to ask more questions.
I have been on the site reading for 6 months now trying not to poste but now i need to use the market so here is my 8th poste thanks.

Lol. Non-members can't see the marketplace anymore.

As I said before:
Once you become regular/active members will see the benefit of having this
Meantime post and you´ll finally get access
Nice
Really smart security measure! I like it.

Lockscreen controls work on OMFGB for me. Haven't tried it on a Sense ROM.
Great app, been uploading songs since Tuesday I think. I have maybe 10% of my collection uploaded. Taking a very long time, but getting there. I got my invite on the 24th, only a few days after requesting it. Guess I was lucky.
I requested mine on day one and nothing yet. Typical Google as it took forever to get my invite to Voice too, like 6 months. Don't think this will beat Amazon Cloud Service which I've had for a couple months now. Took about 4 days to load 40 Mb (20 free 20 more for buying an album for $4.99) to that. The music on Amazon Cloud is physically stored there too which is nice.
I got my invite on the 26th requested it on day one. I don't have any lockscreen controls, but I believe thats cause I have a password, and when I wake the screen, it just goes to the password screen. I wish there was a way to enable lockscreen + password like on Sense ROMs.

And by the way the original topic was [Q][APP] Google Music 3.0.1 APK, which is wide open for discussion on anything related to the music app, you set the topic so don't get pissed when people don't respond to your exact question. Maybe you should learn how to properly set a topic first then ***** later.

Actually, that was the Headline, the Topic was referred in the post, it blatantly asked about lockscreen controls not who was invited to the Google Cloud/Music Beta. There are dozens of posts that ARE about that, It's kinda hilarious how you tell me not to get pissed when you are the one who is raging in my post and you are doing it ironically due to the fact that topic WAS NOT about anything but the lockscreen. Thanks, you amused me

Admins, before I get slammed, I would just like to point out that My last 2 responses were brought on because of angry individuals attacking me over the fact that I did not appreciate my thread being hijacked and thrown off subject when all I asked was if the lockscreen controls worked. My bad lol.

I am getting this too, it started a couple of weeks ago, at first I thought it was a pop up from the site I had been visiting, but now it's happening with other sites. I am on a stock rom bell Canada Galaxy S II. Anyone have any ideas?
I have done some further testing and have discovered that the site hijack only comes up for me when I go to http://xda-developers.com .
It doesn't matter if I'm on wifi or cell data. I did a full factory reset, as well as re-flashing 4.0.4 again, and right after first boot, it still redirects me. I've even tried it without letting Android restore my phone.
Is it a problem with my phone, or with the xda site?

Here is the other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706480&page=2
I'm starting to think that it's Google Adsense serving these ads to people. All of these sites almost all use Google Adsense in some form to back fill ads.
This is happening to both Android and iPhones - only through mobile browsers. My guess is that this shady ass advertiser is targeting mobile browsers through Adsense.
From what I can tell, the ads are somehow attached to a site called blueAds.com, at least that's where they redirect from.

Not to say that I'm glad to hear, but at least there's some corroboration. I tried to do some research, and the whois record isn't helpful, and all that comes up for any search on mobgifts is a site called downocean(or something like that).
My Scam alarms just started going off.
I concur on that point, a lot of the searches on this topic. Bring the downocean name up again and again. Especially when you type how do I get rid of. Its definitely got some javascript going on, when I turn JS off I don't seem to get the the pop ups.

i use the xda app FYI,

i find it pretty useful since i only have XDA as my active forum so why bother getting a 3rd-party app when you can download a version directly from XDA.

it's kinda rude, saying that XDA is doing it for bucks,
since they did this to provide users an independent forum app,
you justified the means without proper knowledge,
And to put it, Tapatalk is a paid app. And XDA offers free as well as premium app. So users who don't have Tapatalk has the option to get the free XDA app, if they have only registered on XDA for browsing the forums. Not many users are members of different forums.
i got both...but to be honest i only use XDA app now as this is the only forum i check. and if by me having the premium version helps support for the maintenance of the site, it is the least i can do for what i have learned from XDA over the last two years and the goodies that i have done to my phone to make it better
The reason? I find 1.50 € for learning english a very, very, fair price (i have both premium apps)

Reread your thread title and OP. Nowhere does it state that it's directed to people who use multiple forums, and you probably would have received different replies completely if you had made that clear. All you did was make the XDA app seem useless, which is wrong, because for people who only use XDA there's no point paying for tapatalk.

Personally, I don't see any difference between the two. They are identical to me, except that Tap can have multiple forums in it, obviously.
But I am having a problem with both and can't use any of the four forum apps I have purchased:
XDA Premium (phone)
XDA HD (tablet)
TapaTalk HD
TapaTalk 2
Don't get me wrong, I am more than happy to support the developers! I'm not bragging, but I have purchased about 300 apps in the last year and most of them worked fine without paying for them. I just wanted to make clear that this is not about complaining because of spending the money. I just sincerely want to be able to use them and I can't use any of the four.
What I mean by that, is that after scouring XDA and Google, I cannot find any help on how to view messages that I have received email notifications for, like when someone responds directly to one of your posts, or even when they post in a thread/forum you are Subscribed to.
I know that I can go into the XDA/TapaTalk (2) apps and go to:
LATEST >> PARTICIPATED
... But that doesn't take me to the posts that I have been notified about, like if I tap the link in the email and it takes me right to the message, ya know?
So I end up tapping the link and trying to view the messages in the browser on my phone, but since XDA does not have a mobile version of their web site, I end up double-tapping it to try to blow it up and then moving it all around the screen, back and forth, to try to read the message.
And of course, posting that way is Hell! It is very difficult to get it to go back up in the message and you can't even see a whole sentence, because it's blown up and the regular display is microscopic!
Does anyonne know how it is done? I love the concept of these apps, but I cannot believe that they would have left that sort of feature out, given that people would constantly be responding to posts they are notified about, right?
So I figure that I must be missing something. But I have looked at these apps for almost a year now (and recently purchased the new TapaTalk 2, hoping it had stuff the original doesn't) and I just can't find how to do this.
Does anyone know how this is done? Please?
Again, going to LATEST >> PARTICIPATED does not list/take me to the messages I am being notified about. The threads are in the list somewhere, I'm sure, but I'm hoping to do it like I do when I tap on the link in an email message. It would be really cool if you tapped on one and it opened Tap right to that specific message that you're being notified about!
I may have missed this answer somewhere in these forums, but I swear, I did scour them as best I could and I just cannot find this specific help! Nor did I find any help from the Tap folks, except how a forum owner could add their forum and a Google search produced the same result.
I apologize for the long message. I just wanted to make sure that I was absolutely clear, so that folks did not just guide me to "LATEST >> PARTICIPATED".
Thanks!!!

Big post.
So basically what you want is when you click on a link on any other app (mail for eg. since its giving you notifications). You need to clear all the defaults you have set around with your browsers. (do it from settings»applications»manage»here).
After that whenever you click on a link, it will show up a popup to chose the app to procede for the link. If the link is from xda use tapatalk (it'll take you to the post right away), if from other site, use your preffered browser. Again do not set anything as default as tapatalk cannot open other sites and you will need to clear the defaults again.
A Hero Can Be Anyone.
Dear Bruce Wayne,
Okay, I did what you said and it did not take me to the exact message. But it did take me to the same page, which makes it just a matter of scrolling down a few swipes up worth to scroll down to the message, which is certainly plenty good enough!
Plus, now I understand why this app's default posts per page is set to 10.
Thanks a bunch for your help, Bruce! I mean that! I can now, finally, use TapaTalk after a year of owning it! And that's because you took a few minutes out of your time to answer my question simply and plainly, without first assuming a certain level of knowledge on my part and I really appreciate that!
And I'm sincerely not trying to patronize you. As I said, I do mean that. It can be very difficult to get help, when so many people see a question as being "stupid" and you can't find anything on the web, ya know?
There was one thing I noticed though in the TapaTalk 2 app, which was that there was no option to "Quote" when responding (I wanted to quote a couple of sentences of you response when I replied).
Is there a trick to making it show that option that you know of?
If there isn't one, how would you know if it's responding to the message you're looking at on the screen?
Sorry to bother you again, Bruce! Last time, I promise!

anyone else using your Internet connection and XDA-Developers?
Could be a browser issue or modem/router issue?
Maybe @bitpushr or @svetius
Could take a look at it?
Sent from my DROID Turbo using XDA Labs
No to the first question.
I'm using Edge for my browser. I've reset my modem and router twice (sb6121 modem, Asus rt-n66r)
Just got this error:
429 Rate Limited
Whoa there, hold your horses! We've detected a lot of requests coming from your IP and have rate limited you. Please check your configuration and try again.
Only me is using the computer right now. Nobody else is at home.
I have the same problem whilst trying to use the search functionality in a thread.
This is rather annoying as i don't want to look in over 100 pages one-by-one.

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!

Quick update: Nevermind, I just kept trying and it eventually worked (on my work-network + FireFox).
Every time I log on here after a while not being on here I get the rate-limited screen.
I have the same issue as well.
same issue here too
Just registered and can't even change profile settings because of this.
The only reason I registered was to keep the dark theme applied across tabs. That's it.
Getting this too.

I'm the only user on my IP. Problem is squarely on your end XDA.
Getting this randomly since the XDA "Theme" issues Monday March 31st...? I'm on the latest Chrome browser.

Me too... but only if I click one link too fast after the former one. My personal solution: I hold my horses! And then it doesn't happen any longer. Just about 3 - 5 seconds between the clicks are sufficient.

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.
