When I come to this forum, I sometimes need to go back to a topic/thread that I started to reference information but I cannot find a way to do this. If I click on the member icon in the upper right hand corner of the page, all I get is a login popup and no access to my account. What am I missing here? Thanks.

If you enter your info in the login popup, what happens? It just repeatedly asks you to log in?
You tried different browsers?

Yes, it does repeatedly ask me to sign in. I am using the same Opera browser that I have always used. And now, I am not getting any email notices of replies to my threads either. Thanks for the reply.

My best guess is something privacy related -- VPN, browser setting -- is blocking this. One browser I use (Brave) won't let me search in XDA threads, while another (Chrome) does.
Just try another browser (like Chrome) temporarily as an experiment. If it works then check your Opera settings.

Thanks for the suggestion to try another browser. Chrome worked just fine so I looked at the settings in my Opera browser and for some reason, this forum was not on the exceptions list any longer. So I added this URL and all is back as it should be again. Thanks for your help. Now if I could get an answer to my problem with making slo-mo videos.

I've had this issue sooooooooo many DAMN times on my PC. Using Google to log in. It's a pain in the arse! Download XDA Labs. Easier to login and stay logged in.

Thanks for the suggestion but it was a problem with my Opera browser that I now have fixed. The browser had somehow deleted this forum URL from it's safe list. Once I added the URL back into the list, all is fine. I don't usually use my phone for web related things unless I have to. I don't even check my email on my phone unless I am away from home for a long while.

Hey guys just wanted to share this with everyone in case no one knew this. You can change the default setting on your browser so it doesn't show the mobile sites all the time. To do this type in the browser address bar about: debug then press go. Nothing will happen but then go to settings and scroll all the way down til u see UAString. Click that and you will see ALL the options it gives you, like iphone, desktop, ipad, android ect. Hope this helps!!

Didn't work for me. I've done this for my tablet and that worked fine. Just to confirm, I should type "about: debug", correct?
Yes u it NO SPACE them click go. Dont get out of the browser and click settings and scroll allllll the way to the bottom

This works, thanks for the post. One thing I notice is that if you reboot your phone, or if you end the Browser task, you need to re-do about:debug for it to load the custom UA again.

yes I can confirm that after you end the browser you have to redo it.
Is there a way to make the user agent string stick so we don't have to keep changing it back after a reboot or closing the browser completely? This browser is forcing mobile sites with no way to get the full site unles the website has a link for desktop version on their page. This and the fact there's no way to go directly to my home page using menu just sucks.
is if there was a facebook app (3rd party alternative) for the galaxy tab?
it seems to be gone from the market.
Friend Me for Facebook is a great app for tablets
FriendCaster Tab for Facebook is also a great app, but it is still Beta and crashes a lot.
Personally I'm FriendCaster Tab for now and it has a lot of nice features
I have no problem just using the full FB website on my Tab.
Same as tried friendcaste and friend me but not complete so just use the web

Great post! Never even thought about using the web. Will try that
No matter what you use, the full site, the mobile site, or the sideloaded phone app...it is near impossible to tag people properly (just one complaint). In the full site you click a pic and it opens in that theater/lightbox popup thingy over the page, and if you click on the pic to tag, the tagging prompt opens but then when you click in it to start typing a name, it just goes away and you have to start again. You can never really get it. And I don't think the app lets you tag at all.
I am still in utter disbelief that there is no official Android tablet Facebook app. I mean, what's the holdup? Isn't this at the top of someone's (Facebook and/or Google/Android) to-do list?? I just don't understand.....it's been months now...

uhh, It should be pointed out that there is no official Facebook app for the iPad either.
I paid for friendcaster and loved it, I even used it on my phone over the official Facebook app but the last update ruined it for me on both devices. The news feed will leave stuff out and now on my tab I can't connect it to my contacts. I also have heywire texting app and it would pull the pictures from the contacts so I could see a pic of the person I am texting instead of just a name. Also when I click a photo someone posted it will load a completely different photo from the album.
I hope it gets work out in a new update, I finally paid for the app and less than a week later the update hit so for now I just go to the site.

How are you able to use chat?

Two ways to do this...
1. With stock browser, everytime you open it you have to change the browser settings to desktop mode. This is handled in other forums and is really a pain in the butt because the settings don't stick.
2. Download for free one of the other browsers from the market, I use dolphin for pad. In the settings you can have it permanently set to desktop mode. This allows for the chat to show up on the website as if you were on a computer.
I personally use the website to check my stuff and use one of two free apps for chatting. Either go chat or the friendcaster chat.

So I used to run the desktop ua mod and I could see the chat in the stock browser. My problem, however, is that after typing I am unable to send the message. Pressing enter just clears out the text and nothing seems to get sent.
Same thing when I try dolphin or opera

I just got my brand new SGS3 and while surfing the internet, I realized that when using google search, the recent/popular search suggestions below do not work.I can click them, but once clicked nothing happens. It's suppose to redirect me to the new search. Has anyone experienced the same thing when using google search on the SGS3?
This only occurs when I search directly form google.com. Bing and yahoo searches work fine however. The suggestions below their respective search boxes can be clicked and it redirects fine.
Probably the stock browser is at fault? It's annoying to have to type the entire search since the suggestions cannot be clicked... anyone think of why it's only google.com that has this problem?
Mine does the same but there's an arrow on the right side you can click and it fills in the search bar...still very annoying cause I always end up hitting the phrase first instead of the arrow.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
That's very strange. I've never had that problem and I've used 3 different browsers including stock. If you really want to use the stock browser and you're rooted try flashing GApps on it which may fix it, or just try a different browser like Chrome.
Hey,
I have a weird problem.... Sometimes (like 2-3 times since i bought my phone in june) i search for something and then a pornpage shows up instead of the searchresults. I use chrome. Believe it or not, but i have never searched for porn or watched porn on my phone....
Anyone who can help me troubleshoot this?
PS! Please, if you cant control yourself and have to answer something stupid, then try to ignore this post.
Thanks
Could looks like network spoofing, do you trust your network provider ? I mean, are you connected to a free hotspot ?

It will be linked for the search results that you have used on your pc whilst logged into your gmail account
The tabs are linked between your chrome browser on the PC and the Chrome browser on your phone whilst logged in with your gmail account

You'll never hear me complain about that!
Does an actual website show up? And if so, same one every time? Or are the search results returning porn sites?
Assuming it's an actual site. So you type in the search bar, hit "search" and the site just pops up?
Are you absolutely sure you are on Google when searching? Maybe it's a spoofed web address made to look like it that you somehow bookmarked... Or are you searching in the chrome address bar?

Doesnt have to be a suspect app could just be one that has an agreement with an ad company to make more money from the app
I had some free moving wallpapers installed for my children.
But there actually is a lot of "extras" installed and not always cleanly removed when removing the app.
I ended up wiping the phone and start fresh.
OK thanks guys for quick responses Most probably an app that's causing it. Weird that they can overrule chrome's searchresults...

Nop, you are getting search suggestion on what have you searched. That's why I have the web search history turned off: https://history.google.com/history/?hl=en&ctz=-120
you can also out-out here: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ or remove the porn websites from your "interest" list
are you logged in to your google account on your PC or laptop? and is someone else using it? If so maybe chrome synced search results from pc to your phone

In my case i got the result page before "hitting enter" So it was really annoying, but it did not happen all the time.
Could be your search provider??
Is there an option to change search provider in chrome?

Funny! Yes, can't exactly have your face in your phone too often while working.
I wonder what the issue is? This has only been a recent problem but I'm willing to bet it's on the Google Chrome side of it. Never had issues in the past.
mine hangs on when launching the site sometimes, I've noticed the same thing happens with droid-life occasionally too. Could be an issue with an ad loading.
Site has been having technical difficulties also causing extreme slow downs in the mobile apps.
Also questions go in Q&A
