I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, it is to do with the XDA Developers' site.
When I used to click on a picture in a posting, the site would show a medium grey layer on top of the site and this would show an enlarged picture with a X button at the top-right corner. If you clicked on this button, then the layer would dissapear and everything was back to normal.
Now when I click on a picture in a post the site has a medium grey layer sitting on top of the viewable (but unclickable) site. I don't see any picture and there is no X button. The only thing to do is to hit the Back button.
I can view the picture if I right-click on the picture and select to open it in a new tab.
I am using IE8 in WinXP. There is no pop-up block on this site.
Same thing happens here, if it is any coincidence, I am also on XP (Sp3) and IE8.
I reckon it has only been doing it for a couple of weeks or so, any XDA System Mods want to fess up to fiddling with the vBulletin settings, or cascading style sheets?
I'll attach a window dump of one of my own image posts. I had clicked on the leftmost image, but in practice it wouldn't matter a damn which. Also, it doesn't matter what the style chooser is set to, 2010 or Classic, the results are the same.
I just tested to see what happened in Firefox. When I clicked on the above post's attached picture, it opened a new page with just the picture in it. I had to hit the Back button to get back to the postings.
This problem only happened a few weeks ago.
When I click an attachment, a grey semi-transparent layer shows up and then I'm redirected to the image's address in the same page.
I don't get any redirection (in both IE and Firefox). My only option is to go Back. When I do this, the Foward button isn't available.
Same for me. Also, if there is more than one attached picture you used to be able to click on one to get the larger image, and then you could cycle through them all from there. Currently you have to open one, back, open the next...etc.

It could just be me, maybe it is ment to look this way, but....
The internet explorer font is really really big. I even set the text size to "smaller". There is also an annoying scroll bar on the right corner that pops up and takes up about a quarter of the screen.
Another glitch is typing in text. For instance when I try to post something on face book you can't see the text your typing until you actually post. Seems to happen if I put in more the 5 or 6 characters.
I'm old and wear glasses but I don't need the view to be this big!
Any ideas? Besides don't use it?
Thanks.
obviously ur talking about the i.e from the newly created Ookba ROM, and i mentioned this bug to Ookba and he said he was going to try and tackle it shortly.
also, have u tried switching from "Desktop View" to "Mobile View" in i.e.?
I found a nice medium with adjusting the zoom with medium fonts.
Yes, I messed with all the settings. mobile view with smaller text, etc etc. no difference. but thanks!
yea the "let me show you where you on the page by taking up 25% of the page itself" is really annoying. Any reg key to disable this page-scrolling popup?
My Focus was just sent in for replacement and I just found out that, for a science course I'm taking this semester, I can use a smartphone's web browser instead of one of those overly expensive 'clickers' they usually force you to buy.
So can anyone go to the link below using the WP7 web browser and follow the instructions on the page?
Here's the test page link: www.rwpoll.com/test.aspx All you have to do is go to the page and follow the instructions. It won't take any longer than 2 minutes. It's from ResponseWare, the company that provides those 'clickers' and it's a test page to see if the web browser is properly displaying all of the info.
If you're suspicious, here's a pic of what the site should look like and you can Google it yourself if you like:
http://i52.tinypic.com/52zvpt.jpg
At the end of the first page you should see a button that says 'Page Appears Correctly' and 'Page Not Appearing Correctly' so click on the one that applies to you. Then there will be this page where it tests if the browser can auto refresh and do other things. After that click on the button that says 'AutoRefresh Supported' and then you should be at the results page. Here's two links to two sample pics of what the page should look like.
http://i54.tinypic.com/2npxef.jpg
http://i56.tinypic.com/16ke3bq.jpg
Then just tell me the results. I know this is inconvenient, but this would be a HUGE help. I'd like to avoid paying $40 just for a dumb piece of plastic when I can pay half price to use it on the phone instead! Thank you in advance if you do this, you're helping out a broke college student!
Told me CSS is not fully supported. Buttons appeared but the text colors were not as they were described (white and green text)

Yeah the text colors didn't work on the Desktop IE, Chrome, or Firefox either so I guess you can ignore that. So you were also able to get to the second page and test the Autorefresh?
Can anyone else try this? nrfitchett4 didn't really say if the test succeeded or not.
Please?! I NEED to know this for sure by tonight!
nrfitchett4 is correct. in windows phone you cannot enable/disable the css file retrieving. so therefore, it should always be there. so "Page Not Appearing Correctly" would be what i would click. the buttons are all gray background with black text.

Yes but I think it may be a problem with their test site. I tried out the site on the desktop IE8, Firefox, and Chrome and neither one gave the correct color scheme. So try using the 'Page Appears Correctly' because I did that and it let me complete the test.
Buttons all looked the same, auto refresh worked, and css passed.
Worked on my HD7 except for the green and white button test...

Thanks for taking the time to do the test guys! It looks like everything should work out. Seriously, THANK YOU!
The XDA forums always appear super wide in my Firefox browser. I mean, I always have to go full screen to be able to see a post's entire text. Resizing Firefox doesn't help. This happens even though there's no super wide element (such as an image). XDA forum just never line wrap "early" enough. I've never encountered this issue on any other forum I'm on. Any suggestions how to fix this? I've been through the forum settings, and messed with Firefox, but nothing helps.

Try the following:
Go to XDA forum (I guess you can do it while reading my suggestion.
Hold the ctrl button on your keyboard (Doesn't matter which one)
Then use the scroller from your mouse to scroll up or down.
Up makes it bigger, down smaller.
If that doesn't help, post a screenshot so that we can truly understand what's wrong.
My laptop doesn't have a mouse, so I use ctrl-+ and ctrl-- in Firefox to control size. Ctrl-0 returns to default.
Actually, I just discovered that messing with my theme setting improves things. XDA 2013 beta gives me the super wide situation. I then have to press Ctrl-- two times, but then the font is rather small. You can see the before/after in the screenshots I've attached called XDA-1 and XDA-2. For comparison, I've attached screenshots of Google News at default size and then after pressing Ctrl-- two times.
I was getting this behavior with the default skin, though I don't know the default skin's name. When I switch to "XDA 2013 beta," it looks the same although I was getting this behavior before 2013. When I switch to "XDA 2013 beta - 1024," lines wrap in a more readable way though it's still a bit wide. When I switch to "XDA 2010," it gives me an appearance I'd call normal. So from now on, I'll pay attention to the theme, but it looks like the themes currently under development need to either give the user flexibility to choose the wrap length, width limit, font size, or whatever. Otherwise, I'm stuck with the legacy theme, which is fine as long as it keeps working. Maybe other people also experience the same performance.
I'm attaching a screenshot of "XDA 2010."
Same issue with Firefox on my Samsung Galaxy S3: the default XDA 2013 Beta theme is a disaster because it goes super wide. I get usable behavior on my phone when I select the XDA 1010 theme.
To follow up, the theme "XDA 2013 -- Beta 1024" now works fine for me. If I resize my browser to a narrower window, the contents squeeze in along with it (up to a point). The "XDA 2013" theme just stays too wide. "XDA 2010" continues to work fine, but I've now switched to the 2013 b1024.
Hello, as we all know, we could capture the screen by pressing the button on the S-Pen while it is touching the screen. Is the resolution the same as the one set in the Camera app? Is there a way to set the resolution of screen capture and possibly screen video recording independently from that in the Camera app?
To get a screen shot at native resolution hold the power and home buttons simultaneously. A white border will be displayed briefly if you are successful. The image will be saved to your gallery.

The setting for the screen capture by either the Spen or the Power+Home buttons is identical to the native screen resolution. This can not be changed. (Not by any regular means. You'd have to find a way to change the entire screen resolution of the tablet itself.)
That method of taking screenshots is no more or less than pressing Printscreen on a Windows computer. It's build into the firmware. (And like everything Touchwiz, it doesn't have settings).
Thanks for the info. I was taking screenshots to post on the forum. The file sizes were so big that they could not be posted. I transferred those files to my Mac and used another application to reduce the resolution/size. Then, posted on this forum. I would be great if this could be done on the same device in less steps.

You can do that. Install Quickpic (It's a gallery app, works much better than the stock gallery).
Open it, open the photo, hit the optionskey --> Edit --> Edit (the one with the quickpic logo) --> resize (the icon with the four arrows pointing to the center). Select a size and hit the checkmark at the top right. All done
Yeah ShadowLea is right. Whether you use screen shot via the key combo or screen write using the pen stylus the resolution is the same. The images look different because the image is softened in screen write. One can only speculate why this is, my guess is it's probably too bring focus to the writing you're going to add on top of the capture. It's too bad this blur can't be disabled.

After switching to the Galaxy S10 phone, I noticed that the gallery photo editor application is robbed of its best features. it's so frustrating when these manufacturers just arbitrarily decide to screw up a good thing.
I constantly and I mean constantly use gallery photo editor and the eyedropper feature to select a custom color and then use the pen to edit out things in images I don't visible. I make them disappear by writing over them in the exact custom colors that already exist in the image. I choose that color with the eyedropper!
Now it seems you either have to overlay a text box over the top which flat out doesn't work because the new text box interface is so bulky and ridiculously lacking because it only has a very very few options. The NEW UNIMPROVED paint feature has ONLY 10 or so canned multicolor designs you can print with... WHO WANTS TO PAINT WITH MULTICOLOR DESIGNS? (KINDA DUMB, but okay)
1. Please don't tell me to go download it because I already look for it and it isn't there.
2. I already tried clicking the upper right corner and clicking advanced and then clicking the pencil to edit and then going through all the options inside that area and it's not there.
3. I've tried using the key combination to create a screenshot and several third-party apps to create screenshots in my efforts to find the eyedropper and it is not there.
4. Please don't tell me to go download Photoshop or some other app I don't want too; I just want my photo editor eye-dropper back!!
I use it constantly and I mean constantly 50 times a day! I take screenshots and edit out ads and things like text and hearts and stars to indicate the item is a favorite etc. using the eyedropper to select the custom background color and then the pen to write over the top of whatever it is you don't want visible makes it blend right into the background... THIS IS SO UNIMAGINABLY BASIC!
I be already spent weeks hunting for where the ability to add an image inside another image and finally was able to find it obscured in stickers area! I've searched and searched every possible conceivable section for any imaginable way they might have hid in the eye dropper and I just can't find it!!
I just want my eye dropper back! It's causing massive problems because I can't do what I need to do 100 times a day!!
Can someone within the limitations outlined above 1 through 4 please PLEASE tell me where the eyedropper went?!?
I'm in the SAAAAMMMME BOAT.
I manage several different social media accounts, and have used this feature FOR YEARS to edit out extraneous things. It was simple and easy.
Weirdly enough, it was there in November, so it kept my main sampled color as an option, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY I can basically continue to do what I do. This has been a nightmare.
If you find anything out, PLEASE let me know.
I'll also do the same.
You mean this?
To do this?
Thanks ?
That option does not show up if you have selected the edit dialogue box to pop up after you screencap, as it used to.
But this is very helpful. THANK YOU!
It's on the color palette now
