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?

[Q] facebook on froyo opens links at www.facebook instead of m.facebook site

Anyone know how to make it point at m.facebook instead of www .facebook?
no one else sees the when selecting, for example, a notification?
I have the same problem, although I want it to open on touch.facebook.com not m.facebook.com personally. I don't think it is a Froyo issue more of a newest version of the FB problem. I had this problem on my Incredible with 2.1
It looks like it was on Facebook's side, it is now redirecting properly & I havent started tweaking things for it yet.
Seems I spoke too soon, its intermittently showing www over the m site

Those settings are where?

Pdf files

Hey guys this may have been asked before but I don't know if I can search using the xda app. Is there a way to open pdf files in the browser. When I click on the link that opens the file it just brings up a blank screen. Any way around this?
Thanks everyone

Is anyone else even having the same problem?
Yes you can search, both in the xda app you are using ( but it won't limit to just one section), and also on the website.
As far as pdf files go... it just auto downloads them whenever I click one.

After downloading them, should be able to open them with the included Adobe Reader app no?
Well the specific website I'm trying to open the file from opens it in a pop up window rather than downloading. The pop up window comes up however it is just s blank white window. On a pc it's in this window that I can save the pdf file however I can't do that on my inspire. I've had windows mobile smartphones for the past few years and this is my first android device.

Yes, I'm having the same problem with specific websites. I have one that I would love to download pdf's from and I get the blank website just like you. Even switched to Dolphin browser (which I really like generally), and I have the same issue with this particular website. Anyone have a solution?
try a 3rd party browser. maybe dolphin or opera mobile.

[Q] How to fix the IE mobile large text size issue?

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.

[Q] XDA homepage is looking weird.

Hi, I have been getting this 'weird look' for the XDA-developer (dot) com homepage. I tried both (the latest stable) chrome and (latest stable) firefox. It has been like this for about a week now. All other pages (portal, forum, wiki, etc) look normal but just the homepage is seemingly broken.
The moment I signed up to answer the question, the homepage is back to normal now. It is now back to normal on firefox too.
What freakish sorcery is this? My intention with this query is more of curiosity. Why does this happen? It is also happening with the dell.com (worldwide) website. What is technically (possibly) going wrong behind the scenes here?
Thanks in advance. :good:
I have the same issue. I don't know about Firefox, but on chrome you just have to click the shield icon in the address bar and click on whatever option comes up there (I can't remember exactly what it says but it should be fairly obvious) and it should sort refresh the page in the correct layout. Annoyingly, AFAIK you're going to have to do this every time you visit the portal.

I haven't been getting this issue, but I've seen it before.
I'm not a web developer, but maybe CSS style information not loading correctly ?
When I get this issue, refreshing the page usually works for me. I get it when our connection lags, too - and doesn't load everything (er, I think that's what's going on, anyway).
That fixed the error!

Thanks! That fixed the error. Wow! So its cause Chrome detects xda-dev homepage having 'insecure content'. I hope xda site admins do something about this soon cause its super annoying!

+1, I think it may be something to do with one of the plugins I have installed, since on another laptop on chrome there seems to be no issue.
Excellent Suggestion!

You were right. Its being caused by the 'HTTPS Everywhere' extension. When I disable, it, the page loads correctly. I had that installed on my firefox too. I hope XDA soon moves their complete website to HTTPS. The extension doesn't seem to have any settings where I can acknowledge an exception.

Of course, I have the same plugin installed I CBA to disable/uninstall it right now, but at least I know what's causing the issue.

I had a friend with a similar issue - I turned him on to HideNinja VPN and it helped him. It's the only thing I can think of that may help. I'd suggest closing all tabs for all browsers. Delete the browsers you can that you don't prefer to use. Restart the device, install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptninja.vpn make sure the app is configured and running properly, then try running your browser. Make sure no alternate settings in your browser could be created jumbling or smashing. Give the "Desktop Version" of the site a try too.

Ok, about chrome i found out that cyanogenmod's browser is ten times faster!!! And for the ADS i wasn't aware that those were intrusive ADS(i thought that the option block popup was broken XD ), so i want to recommend all of you to do this http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/blocking-ads-in-android/ scroll down a bit and you'll find a tutorial to create an host file, normal ads aren't blocked but the intrusives one i noticed that this little file blocks them very well
