Website not showing properly

[Walter H.W.]

Hi guys,

I'm having a huge problem on the xda-developer forum, when I go there all I see is text. I don't see any images, so the website is unusable.

 

I don't have this problem anywhere else, and even in other browsers it still doesn't show it properly.

 

I've tried a lot of stuff but it still doesn't work, any suggestions?

Are there placeholders where the pics should be?

Has it always been like that on this system, or is this a new problem?

It's like this since about 10 days, I think updating acrobat reader is the only thing I did, I tried uninstalling it and reinstall it but nothing has changed. I should try doing it better maybe.

 

That's what I see:

Any ideas?

Looks like it's not processing the css files properly (or at all) - what url are you looking at? I'll see what it looks like on my end.

That really look like server side issue. Whenever I get that, refresh fixes it. And since its same on all browsers and only that site, more looking towards server side issue.

Very few people seem to complain, also the website looks fine on my phone, it has to be something with my PC

Yea, looks fine on my laptop - I suspect you may not be getting the page in a timely fashion, and some of the supporting files may be timing out before the page is complete.  Just out of curiosity, do you know how to use chrome developer? (I'm hoping you are visiting that website because you have some decent devolopment skilz).  If so I'll talk you through analyzing Chromes' browser response while it renders the web page.

 

If not, I think I can still talk you through it.

Or router, lan drivers or something like that. Seems to work fine for me.

Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not a developer or understand much of it. I go there to check for ROMs and news about smartphones, so I don't know if I'd be able to follow you..

If it adds anything to the conv, also on aliexpress deals page, product Images don't load: http://superdeals.aliexpress.com/en?spm=2114.11010108.21.1.kJjTab but layout and website design is fine.

On specific store pages the top menu layout is fu**d up:

I'm going crazy u.u

It works fine on my phone and I really haven't changed anything since before it stopped working.

It's not as hard as it sounds, as long as we are on the forum at the same time and can have a reasonably responsive back and forth discussion - it's up to you ; )

I don't know man, it sounds like a lot of work for you.. Are we even sure it's gonna be fixed? it could still be some other software I'm running, or am I mistaken?

Won't necessarily fix the problem, but will give us a better idea of what might be the problem ...

[Necromancer]

m8 try reseting your browser, could you please ping the forum or do an dns lookup on it maybe somone hase poisoned your dns cache. and i forgot post the ip here so we can check against it

Alright let's try, when are you available?

I already tried m9, is the DNS poison legit? Can't tell if you're serious or trolling. Lol.

Ok, lemme type up some instructions...

[petem]

From chrome, browse to the xda-developer page.

 

Press the F12 key to open the chrome developer.

 

From the developer window, click the Network Tab.

 

Press the F5 key to reload the page.  The network tab will show you how long each element that makes up the webpage takes to load (in ms).

I don't get it, it keeps recalling the same xda-logo.png image, now it's at like 1000 requests 1.4mb transferred, time still going. 

EDIT: also gives me 9 errors:

The main windows lists the files requested to render the page, status, some other info we don't care about, and the Time and Timeline - if the file is accessible, normally the time/ timeline should  between 50-500ms.

 

Scroll through the list of files - do any of them have a solid bar for the timeline, instead of a short one?

 

Do any of them have a status of "failed"?

For example, in mine, I have 2 with a status of failed, probably because of my ad blocker addon or ghostery - they prevent obnoxious content from being loaded

Just judging by your post, it looks like you aren't getting a javascript and maybe a css file or 2

That's what I get, keeps going forever..

That is weird as hell - it if keeps requesting the same file over and over, it sounds like it's in a messed up javascript loop, or else the browser itself is having problems.

 

Ok.

 

Hit F5 again, but this time press the escape key after about 3 seconds.

 

What does it show then?

[petem]

Also, just to be sure there aren't any addons interfering with the page, try looking at it in incognito mode.  If it's OK there, then you likely have an addon or more that is interfering with loading the webpage.

 

The strange thing is I don't see it trying to load a file by the name of "xda-logo.png" in my developer at all...
