Anyone else having problems when attempting to post to threads?
I'm using Chrome on Win 10 and after I submit my post I'll get the "waiting for xda-developers.com" on the bottom left of Chrome and after a minute or two the page will timeout.
This isn't every time...but it is about 25%-50% of the time.
I've had this problem as long as I can remember, as in years. Browser will seem to get "stuck" but the post will still show up as intended. As you said, not every time, but pretty frequently. Are your posts still showing up?

Sometimes after the page finishes loading, my firefox freezes for a several seconds while loading stuff from ads.netshelter.net.
I understand that you need avertisments for proper running of the page, but this one is so annoying especially because it freezes firefox completely and i can't go to other tab while waiting
Anyone have the same problem?

You are right--this shouldn't happen. We are looking at ways of making the ads load indepedent of the rest of the page. We've just been so busy with the redesign lately... this is on my list though.
Can't use the forum at all today.
Takes over a minute to do anything while staring at "Connecting to ad4.netshelter.net..." in the status bar. Took me 10 minutes just to be able to post this.
I'll come back when it's gone.

Ever heard of adblockers?
So I try browsing the forums and learing about my Epic 4g. But every fourm page takes 90 seconds before I can scroll and look around. It's not my computer or internet because I am a member on 10 other various forums and I have never had a single problem like this.
It looks like the adds are causing the problem. The page loads, but it still said waiting on add.....? at the lower left bar on the browser. And every time it throwser IEX into not responding. Then it finally after 90 seconds starts and I can scroll just fine.
And Ideas on what I can do to resolve this? It's really a pain waiting that lng for the page to load.
if your on Chrome try using an ad blocking extension
Recently I have been noticing that I cannot use my back button. I'm using IE9 and clicking the back button doesn't seem to do anything. If I click and hold the back button I can see a list that is:
http://ads.xda-developers.com/tags/3884
If I click on the bottom of the list and click and hold again I get a long list of the same url. If I do this eight or ten times, I finally see the actual last page I visited. I'm not a programmer but I believe that what is happening is that all the ads on the page are reloading several times.
Is this my setup or is this happening to everyone? This has never happened here before and it happens nowhere else. I have found sites that don't allow the back button or somehow reload the current page but I have never seen this long list of seemingly meaningless identical urls.
What's going on?
I am having the same issue. Anyone ever find a solution to this?
You had another thread like this. Are you sure it is not just your back button? Are you clicking it right lol. Again, please for the good of humanity use a different browser. You will be very happy with chrome or firefox. But because many do not use IE, they cannot help.
Also the link is broken for me.
And does this have anything to do with XDA? I think Microsoft have their own dedicated forums for this kind of thing.
Anyone else getting this? It happens at random when loading a page (sometimes main, but anywhere, even after "Preview Post") the site will pretty much lock my browser's tab. If I'm lucky it'll time out with an error and I can kill the page then reload, but it's very irritating, and I can't troubleshoot it 'cause by the time I know something's happened, that tab is useless.
This happens on Chrome in OS-X (Mountain Lion), Windows 7, and Android, as well as Safari (haven't tried it on IE). It seems like a site-script gone haywire. Please note that I have absolutely no plugins on Safari, and it still locks.
Post these problems here:

It happens momentarily when the site is being re-indexed or some maintenance..
Nothing major
I've noticed xda takes a long time to open and change pages in my browser (Chrome). It frequently times out and gives me an error message. Sometimes I can push it to finish opening by pressing F5 (reload). Other times I have to close it and open again. This happens FREQUENTLY. I have also noticed several video ads that run automatically in multiple windows. I can pause one of them at a time by clicking on it, but of course, this doesn't help with the slow loading problem.
Is there any way to opt out of these videos (one seems to show women in sportswear making sushi) or just shut them off? I suspect that this is the problem.
Its been happening to me too, I just came to this thread to report this. I have an adblock so not sure about the ad but Its talking way longer time to load and sometimes i get error that unable to reach website.
I am using safari on mac.
Thanks

Mate, consider the fact XDA is currently frequented from thousands and thousands people. This could mean - in some cases - their servers could be sometimes overloaded, producing the annoyances you experienced.
This was caused by a bad DNS server - it is all fixed up now so your speed should be fine. Closing this thread, for any issues in the future please visit the XDA issues thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987254
