Hi sirs,

I have a request.. for the admins. Can you guys change the layout of the Social Groups tab in the Userprofile of all users..

Though the " Friends " tab is alright .. The Social groups tab ends up in a vertical layout instead of a grid type 2x2 layout as follows.

This in turn results in a lot of blank space in between the bottom of the webpage and the Devices tab of the user profile..

Not a great deal.. but will look better IMO.

Sorry if this has been discussed before

Here's a comparative picture of the good ol' xda classic theme vs the xda 2013 and 2013 Beta 1024 themes :

For a perfect example of how much difference it may make , take a look at [MENTION=4449607]InfinityShooter[/MENTION] 's profile. Almost half the page is blank cause of the Social Groups tab.

Please do consider this request!

[About XDA developers] nrfitchett4:
I think this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2427960

should be re-opened. While I agree that advertising on xda is against the rules. I think something like this should be granted an exception. This 15 year old kid took initiative to purchase a 1300 dollar dev tool and was the only one in the Verizon HTC One community to step up and do so, so that we could all have a way to s-off.

Now that there is a software s-off, his thread has been closed with reason being that he is advertising. The kid himself has actually done very little to no advertising for this, there wasn't even a link to it in his OP. With Verizon closing software loopholes with regularity, I think a service like this at a reasonable price, will benefit xda far more than any potential harm.

Since these cards are HTC dev tools, they cannot be patched. I don't think its unreasonable for this to be allowed.

In the same forum, a over 5k bounty was raised for software s-off. To me, that is the same thing. Also, all over these forums, donation threads are started to get devs certain phones so users can have their custom ROMs. These have been allowed repeatedly.

To not allow someone who spends money to help the community a chance to offset the cost, I think will hurt the community longterm.

I would prefer a member of the actually admin team to review this, as I think they are the ones to decide if something like this will be allowed.
[About XDA developers] Zeuscluts:

Suggestion: Bribe my way past the 10 post limit?

Can I give you a dollar or two in lieu of posting 10 times for something I care nothing about?

Like everyone else new to XDA, I find the 10 post rule incredibly annoying. I understand what you are trying to accomplish, but I think you may be going about it the wrong way. I've been using threads and files from the community here to make my phone amazing with all the ROMs, apps, etc. that so many wonderful people contribute. And as you know, many developers want help to polish their builds off or work out bugs through people reporting any issues that they may have. By preventing people who already read the threads and use the files provided from communicating with the developers and the rest of the community, you are hindering their progress and causing true enthusiasts of their work frustration. In fact, this is probably the only other thing aside from what I am already interested in about this website that I care enough about to post something over. Otherwise, I have no desire to read or post in other threads. I'm sure many many people before me have said this, but you are, in a way, encouraging people to spam the other forums to be able to access the parts of the site that they really like and want.

I would much rather give you a dollar or two than have to pretend to care (or not pretend to care) about other things in order to use your otherwise amazing site to its fullest potential.
[About XDA developers] eagleeyetom:
Not everyone new finds the 10 post rule annoying. Most of you understand that members have to make a contribution before jumping into development threads. Almost every device section has Q&A forum, where you can go and answer few queries. You don't have to pay anybody to post in dev section. Moreover, many ROMs and kernels has their own dedicated Q&A threads where you can actually contribute.

You've most likely spent few minutes typing this post. You could've spent it by replying to another member in need. Too bad that you have no desire to help the others. XDA is about sharing and caring, so you may missing the spirit of the site. Think about it :)

If you want to spend a buck or two, XDA accepts donations as well as developers. You can send a small amount to buy them a beer milk for their hard work ;)
[About XDA developers] ChrisMills83:
Your first part was helpful although I do find it odd that you would refuse to consider money in lieu of 10 posts. I am, however, offended that you have said that I "have no desire to help others," especially after I explicitly said that I do care, just only about things related to what I am working on.

I did find the perfect thread for what I was looking for by going up a few directories in an attempt to find some places to achieve 10 posts, but I will say that it is unfortunate that your policy has forced someone with a question related directly to a build of a specific ROM for a specific device (which has no Q&A section by the way) and that has its own thread already to have to post about it two directories up where I would not have found it if it wasn't for sheer luck.

I still disagree with your policy, but I will accept it (because I have to).

Hello All,

I have a annoying issue nowadays,

My accounts gets auto log out even if i tick remember me ..

Same thing in offc pc and in home also, whereas my bro's account is no having this issue on the same home pc.

Tried firefox /come, no avail..

Any suggestions ?
[About XDA developers] Robbie P:
with your home PC, you have 2 accounts logged in to the same IP address, so xda probably just recognises the latest. See if you untick "remember me" in your bro's account, if you then tick "remember me" in your account, then he might have the same problem.

Your office PC might not be configured to accept such a setting, or somebody else (your boss?;)) might be on xda already.

Hope this is correct.

What is the purpose of the 10 post rule anyways? I've been thinking about why it is in place and I'm not seeing it...

And if this is such a common question/complaint by people why hasn't anyone ever considered trying something different?
[About XDA developers] Pons:
As has been stated, to ensure people are helpful, not leeches, and don't spam development threads. I think mainly the last one. XDA is trying out the new Q&A threads, where most questions go to. Development should stay in the dev thread. And most users don't join to post their wealth of knowledge in development. They usually just want to post questions there, and assume that that thread gets more eyes on.

Also we hope it encourages people to read more. Which is not the case here, because if you take a glance at the OP...

and take a glance on the first page of this sub-forum...

Alternative to 10 post rule

But alas, no one reads. *sigh*

We have. Several options. Most were more annoying, or impractical. We tossed around the idea about having a questionnaire of some sort to ensure you could post there. If you have a better idea, we'd love to hear it (but not here; see above).

Actually, if you want to be technical, since you're trying to make fun of xda, and not include yourself in the humor, you're being sarcastic, not ironic.

No, not really. We very rarely make exceptions to the rule. It's not hard to be helpful, get your posts up, and carry on with your life.

[About XDA developers] Goku80:
i know the answer to this but i will ask again. can we change the way threads are being rated please. a lot of threads are getting down rated for no reason in some rom threads and it is getting beyond ridiculous.

i will give one example. dev or maintainer opens a thread. instead of people getting excited over a new rom not even three pages into the thread the thread gets downrated for no reason. no signs of the rom is not working or the rom is kanged nothing like that. and people down rate the thread cause they know they can do that.

not just those kinda threads but also saw it on my ones as well..something needs to be changed about the rating system...now why not remove it and just keep the amount of posts and views to rate a thread. that way it is simple for users to know which is the most popular one and most active one
[About XDA developers] Red Devil:
+1.. I would also like to add a request to remove the ratings for threads in the Q and A sections.. sometimes when a thread is badly rated the OP of the thread may not feel encouraged to completely explain his problem, and not to mention , the unwanted trolling that can occur after the other members notice the thread rating.

Apart from that , I don't feel the need for rating a thread in the Q and A..
