I mainly access ANN with my Blackberry's Opera Mini browser, but for the last few weeks, every article has loaded this phrase:
Quote:
router.infolinks.com/echo.htm
instead of the actual url. I can access the main page and the forum without any problems, but no articles of any kind. Any ideas why this is happening or what, if anything, can be done to fix it?

IIRC Opera Mini passes everything through a proxy to minimise bandwidth by compressing pages etc.

ANN does use infolinks, which turns keywords in the site text into advertising links. I think you can turn them off in your account even if you are not a subscriber, so see if that helps: animenewsnetwork.com/account/edit

I am receiving the 'router.infolinks.com' infinite browser load as well and I am accessing ANN though Firefox on a computer. The issue might be more widespread than mobile devices.

I should note that turning off the infolinks worked for me as well.

I'm going to report this to infolinks and disable it site-wide until they can fix it.

Thank you for letting me know.
