This is a problem with all WP7 phones yet I can't find any details about it anywhere.
In some websites, certain portions of text will appear abnormally large, as if the text size was set to large and the zoom level was set to normal. Is there a way to fix it?
Here is an example of what I'm talking about

Uh, thanks...so do you know how to fix this problem?
Anyone...?
Guys...come on. I know I'm not the only one with this problem.
Please don't tripple post.
I sometimes have this problem briefly on xda developers website, but when it is done loading, it goes back to normal. Try changing your browser settings to desktop view for viewing that site and see what that does.
I have a problem with IE on Omnia 7. The problem is it wont load any page... My connection is OK because everything else works (email, "Now" tile refreshes weather and news normally, my facebook account is regulary updated).
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

Just tried that, no success...
Can you post a picture please?
There's nothing wrong with the IE in WP7. That's an error in the website's code. That's a problem with so many different browsers being out. Different browsers display pages differently. It's the web developers job to test their code in multiple browsers to make sure they display properly.
Then why does it happen with 8 out of every 10 websites I visist?
Can you go to overclock.net and see if you can reproduce the problem?
I have tried the IE9 in the new updated emulator and it definitely fixes this.
I I just recently totally reformatted my hard drive because I thought I had a virus and couldn't find it. But after reinstalling everything and making sure that I didn't have anything I discovered that when I log into XDA and I stay on for some length of time all of a sudden I start getting commercials playing. How do I stop these?

Huh, I dont know what you are referring to. Screen shot perhaps? I assume whatever it is, it depends on flash and the easiest way is to disable flash. The browser I use lets you disable it per site or only enable when you click. I assume other browsers have something as an extension.

I dunno. I never have it happen on any other site. This is the only one. I don't see any ads. Its just audio. I've hunted it down and hunted it down but havent found where it is on here.

Weird. If you get something like firebug or http headers extensions on firefox, they will let you find out what external links are loading. If you can get me some sort of dump or screen shot, I can tell you what to block in your host file. Chrome has the developers tools that show the same stuff or Opera has Dragonfly, so whichever you use.
Opera though, you can right click on the page → content tab → edit site preferences → turn off plugins. That's what I do at least or disable them on all sites and enable when I need them, just for better security.
Pretty sure the other browsers have flashblock, but last I knew and don't quote me on it, flashblock runs the just for a moment before it shuts off the flash since it's an extension. If the flash happened to be malicious, that could possibly be bad. Just semi off topic, but just something that was true and may still be.
If you don't want to deal with all that, you can use my hosts file that I use on my desktop, it's smaller version of the one I use for mobile thats posted with a script to install/update it in the developer's section of the forum.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24904191/hosts-desktop
rename it "hosts" and stick it in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on windows (must open notepad with admin privilages) or on linux/osx, it goes in /etc/hosts.
I wouldnt normally advocate for blocking ads on xda, but if they have anything that automatically plays audio, that draws the line for me.

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page you're on, it's on the right side.

It's just a blank white space for me, but if you add the following line to your host file, you wont see it anymore, since it's one of these:

Will flag again to the admin.
Is it just me, or does anyone else have a problem with chrome crashing and freezing while browsing the xda forums? (From my desktop)
It works smoothly for me in chrome browser... try upgrading chrome

Had same problem. This worked for me:

Open up Google Chrome and in the address bar type - chrome://plugins/
You will then see a Details link over to the right-hand side of the page. Click the + and you’ll see a long list of the installed plugins in detail.
Look in the Flash section and find the line which has the text - \pepflashplayer.dll
Click the Disable link next to this line and restart the browser.

Just read up on what you told me to do, and did it. Thanks for the advice. I will see if it works for this site.
i've had that disabled for a while and i still get random crashes. not sure what to do
Happened to me again to. I added adfree or adblock for chrome and that finally did the trick for me.

Browser crashing is usually a result of bad script on a website or some kind of incompatibility.
I use Firefox more than Chrome and get less issues. However, I do have adblock plus addon, which obviously blocks ads, at the same time, causes less objects to load thus less problems, maybe ads could be causing your issues.
Try a different browser, works for me. Play offers many browsers to choose from.
"Share files over wifi" (ShareBox) it's a new free tool app aimed to easily share files over wifi through web browser
When using ShareBox, you will not have anymore let friends and relatives take your device to show them your photos or videos. They will see them through their own device, be it android, iphone, windows, blackberry or linux, through their web browsers. And they will only see what you want to show in a quick, comfortable way and simultaneously!
As other devices begin to connect you will immediately know what they are watching through the informative Sharebox log list.
Get it at Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.b6dev.sharebox
Features that makes this app special:
Share the files through browser, so you can get them from any device that has a web browser be it android, iphone, ipad, windows, blackberry or linux.
Only shares and shows the files previously selected.
May be used with wifi networks, own wifi hotspot and also on phone 3g connections.
When ShareBox server is on, you are presented with a URL link to see what others are going to see.
As other devices begin to connect you will know what they are watching through the log list.
Very useful for photo shows as it presented by default as gallery, but also has a list mode that may be more suitable for other kind of files.
Go and try it!
Anyone to provide feedback or suggestions for this application, please?
Came here cause I saw the app in the XDA portal, seems simple enough and ultra handy for the people who really struggle to send files. :good:
I also saw this on the XDA portal. Looks like a great idea; I have to try it out.
A few questions:
1) How do you connect over data (e.g. 3g)?
EDIT: I see the server status page has a WAN IP as well. Do we need to do any port forwarding or anything like that?
2) Can you download the files as well, or just view them?
3) Is there a way to add whole folders?
Hmm I like the concept !
(Not yet tried app - wishing you had a direct download link to fileshare service along with G-Store link)
Here's what I would like to be able to do and hoping your app can handle it.
Share a folder, then view / download those files through the browser.
Guessing http //device.ip/share

Portforwarding is common for any server, u might need to do it if connect to a router
I think u can start the server on mobile network directly
Sorry for my bad English...
Sent from my HTC Desire 200 using XDA Premium 4 Mobile app
Yeah I managed to download the app, with VPN & G'Play..
Nope, I cant add a whole folder.
Every-time I attempt to look at settings *CRASH*
I added a screenshot to share, it shows in PC browser as link, but wont download /open
Looking at path tells me why

'ictures' ? Really
I would rather use port 80 or 8080..
hence why I 'try' open settings, after tapping settings, about 6 seconds later. *CRASH*
The app works perfectly on my Oneplus One, it does exaclty what it says and it saved me from a lot of trouble.
Thanks!
Nice idea and works.
maybe add themes for the Web interface.
let me know if u need any help with that.

The connection is made through ip sockets, so you may connect not only through wifi but also through all ip addresses your mobile may has, at the time you turn on your ShareBox

Yes of course! If you do it from your mobile web browser keep your finger pressed over the target file till the contextual menu shows up. If done through computer browser use your secondary mouse button. Easy!

Adding whole folders may be done through workarounds (using third party file managers or file compression) but is not yet "officially" supported

Could not reproduce your error, sorry!. Certainly the uri is composed based on system path folders names, so don't know why it appears that way

Yes, you may change the port used through settings menu, but restriction to use ports below 1024 is keeped. As stated before, please report your crashes with as much information as possible.
Thanks!

Yes, I did via G android.
I will sit down later and give you more information
But, dinner comes first
Summary
Samsung Tab 3 10" - Tap Settings - a delay, screen stay same - then after 6 seconds, maybe bit longer, app closes with msg box (every time)
Would it be possible to enable nfc "sharing"?
For example, if I have sharebox opened and running on a certain ip and port, and I tap another nfc device, then the other device's default browser would open up, already displaying the sharebox url.
Kinda like I can share a web url or maps location via android beam, but this time the beam wouldnt be between two identical apps, but between sharebox and the default browser of the other device.
Cheers!

Ok, that was a good clue. It seems an error that happens on this kind of devices. Published new version that will hopefully ammend it.
Thank you!

Mmmmm, not a bad idea
At first sight it seems that it should be possible if both devices were running ShareBox app with this feature implemented. Will have to study...

Hey no problem, I'll just update again..
I dont mind reporting bugs..
What I really need though, would be an app which can share a folder.
(Not just an interface that lets me share all the files in the folder quickly)
Something which shares 'that folder' live..
So if folder contents update 'live', refreshing the page will reflect the changes, much like a web-server would
If I try to add a cloud pic (I click add file, select stock kitkat gallery, click on a picasa / g+ image) the app force closes.
Can cloud pics be added? I dont think that nowadays people keep more than a few recently took photos on their device, both for memory and sync / backup reasons...

Note text paragragh is cut off right side. This is on my home PC. My m8 with chrome is fine. I use my PC for xda so I really would like to know whats up with my PC.
w7/64
IE 11
malwarebytes
I have Windows fully updated
IE11 is at default
malware has xda listed to not bother
NO 3rd Party ad block app
I have informed xda management, I still cannot enjoy the articles, 1/3 of text not there.
So the question is, why is my PC not displaying web page correctly?

still cannot view website properly.
No replys or serious considered action from xda.???????
No one to even hint at what the issue might be, my pc or the websites. any thoughts? the attachments should say it all..............
It might be a problem with internet explorer, try using a different browser such as chrome or firefox.
still cannot read articles xda.
Attachment will not show it but live, you can almost see the edge of a block of something cutting thru the paragragh.
Since this is the only website with this issue for me, I will not blame IE 11. Pretty annoying when every xda portal post is like this. I'm not inclined to alter my pc to suit 1 website. There are certain times when the client is right. This is 1 of them.
note attachment
see where the text is cut off in some right hand areas and not others. Why, cannot xda get a web page to display well.
I know this thread is old but recently I started having issues using ie11 on my pc to view the xda website. It was working without issues using ie11 till the other day when I had a symbol in my address bar of a blue circle with a line through it blacking part of the site so i clicked on that icon and clicked to allow xda to the view list and now no matter what i've tried I still can't view the site in ie11. I am using avast free version antivirus and it (without my knowlede) installed its own browser which Im forced to use now just to ask this in this post on the site. Is there anything I can do to fix this issue in ie11 cause I don't like using other browsers on my pc??
Hi,
I have the same problem,
anybody?
