I just wanted to pass along some information that I was just made aware of regarding "The Case of the Tapatalk Debacle"...

I was just informed that the issues regarding Tapatalk is actually a, recently, known issue by those "Great XDA Guys in the sky" but, there's no word regarding anything further.

My personal opinion would be that it is being looked into and, at this point of time, they are not completely sure as to what happened nor how to address it.

I'm just happy that it is known and I'm confident that the XDA "Geek Squad" Guys will get it going again in due time.

I can tell you that issues with tapatalk have been known about for a while. Heck we were talking about them when I was still a moderator.

We will see what happens. I have found a work around. I browse by tapatalk and then just open the thread in web view and reply to it there. A bit round about but it works.
[About XDA developers] Droidriven:
That's what I have used as a workaround for years along the way through Tapa updates and XDA server behaviour.

It is just considerably more of issue these past weeks
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
The recent Tapatalk issues are being looked into. They haven't been happening for years at all, these are only recent.

Don't know too much more at the moment. When we know more, we'll let you all know :)

Unless you hate it, you can use XDA Labs as a workaround in the meantime of an xda end fix about the Tapatalk /XDA Legacy issue. :)

XDA labs gif not supported... meh :eek:
[About XDA developers] Eleo:
Hmm... though I was told several times that this is Request to Moderators and Admins thread and normal users should not respond... I just want to point out my opinion on topic:

Well, actually supporting gif is not that important in XDA as ability to post or thank IMHO. Gifs are used in OP to show out the App/MOD/ROM name, or for sarcastic/funny posts (like this) or in signatures (mostly for developers/moderators or recognized XXXX, only to show who is the user (mostly for animation of texts like "XDA Developers", "Forum Moderator", "Recognized Themer", "Recognized Developer", "Recognized Contributor", "Recognized Translator" and etc). I havent seen any important place where ability of seeing gifs are important/vital (though opening in browser should be same as in tapatalk (even though I didnt use it more than a day) by clicking open in browser) and is not done as often as need to write a post or thank a post.

The only reason for me to open in browser while using XDA Labs on mobile is to report a post... and I dont think other users do it as often as I do, considering you are the moderator (though I have no idea how it is done on your side)

:o

But your mileage and usage may vary and may not be same as mine
[About XDA developers] woodman:
Animated gifs support is not important indeed but it's fun and we sometimes need a bit of fun on XDA :D

FYI I've requested the implementation here in the Labs thread, no answer for now.
[About XDA developers] Eleo:
I think it is not implement because of same reasons why:

- text size is not implemented. Though it is good to have different text sizes in OP to emphasize start and end of parts like Downloads, Fixes, Changelog and etc, but unfortunately it will be used by some users who would like to emphasize their own posts. So we use centered text to emphasize such end/start in OPs that are made XDA-Labs friendly (in addition to watch bbcodes and closing child tag before closing parent tag)

- text color is not implemented (same as text size for both advantage and disadvantage). But it also could be to evade clashing of bg color with text color (which cannot be overcomed on tapatalk, amd when a user uses dark red/blue color text and you have chosed dark tapatalk bg, you will not see the text that good -> this was told me by tapatalk user who didnt see my dark blue text in signature)

- custom byline (again, same as text size and text color for both advantage and disadvantage). So, gifs can also be present as bylines using tapatalk which can be quite annoying and even after getting reported and asked to remove byline, after some time you can see those users continue to use same animated bylines (thanks GOD XDA Labs doesnt show animations).

In conclusion, it all ends up in this:

- whether you are ready to see high customization at the cost of seeing new users posting red bold italic size=5 comic sans font text saying "how to root my device?" in a ROM development thread. Not to confuse, I am not saying that every user should be self-taught and now everything before posting. But those are such posts that... well you know where I go with this.

All I want to say is, I am very pleased that XDA Labs doesnt allow such kind of customizations

:D
[About XDA developers] woodman:
[MENTION=4598795]Eleo[/MENTION]

I fully agree with you on all those points, we don't need all those kind of customizations (text, size, text color, etc.). I like XDA labs and you know it.

About the support of animated gifs within Labs, my idea is not to see the animation in the post but only when we OPEN the picture in full screen by tapping on it. So that it's not spammy, it would just like any non animated image.

Hello,

I was thinking that a guide from the moderators would be helpful. There are already plenty of guides for how to contact the moderators and how to report posts, "how not to be a noob", ubiquitous pointers to "the Rules", etc. but I was thinking of something different. I am sure there are things that you wished we knew - or at least behaved like we knew. Not being a moderator I can only guess at what it might include, for example: when to report a post, when (and when not) to PM a moderator, what to do if you think your post was moderated unfairly, things that we do (that aren't necessarily against the rules) that are counter productive or could be done in a more productive manner or that you guys just plain hate, etc.

Thanks!

[About XDA developers] undercover:
That's a good idea.

I often encourage guys to write noob to noob sort of guide, simple and understandable.

I understand that all you'd have to say is in the rules, but i think users would appreciate and understand it better if a mod was to take a step back from his position, think of himself as a user with a knowledge of a moderator and write a simple short sort of essay on how things should be done here, were to look for thing and what moderators are not going to like and will act on. MF has a similar guide, but it's a bit too indepth.

What do you guys think?

Hello, Earthlings!

I really need a (mods) hand with this.

Please, take a moment to read my 'log' with details. Thanks!

I used to login to this account with different browsers and XDALabs manually or using G+. Meanwhile, I deleted Google account but continued to use the same credentials for manual login.

Months ago I reported a glitch within the Labs' Apps section, when I was not able to access 'Watch list'. No one was able to reproduce it and I moved on and started to use web version to occasionally check my 'Watch list'.

Last week I installed Android-x86 for PC and decided to register a new account for XDALabs 'desktop version'. Soon I realized that I could check it on my phone, too. Clever, right? :D

Bingo! But guess what? I can't open 'Watch list' using this account, regardless of the app version and/or the device.

My best guess is that login cookies/tokens or whatever is used on forum engine, are somehow messed up.

Hopefully, mods could solve this with a few clicks. Just don't wipe my list of 50+ subscribed threads, please! :D

BTW, I posted about this on the Labs thread last week, but my post has been 'hijacked' by a 'I need root' dude from Dimension-XYZ. :eek:

My personal opinion is that It's okay to place a link to a question previously asked but, I would just like to recommend that you quote your own post when trying to bump your question up for some support. This provides a little helper so that a member doesn't have to go back and forth when reading it.

Even though I've always recommended that a member waits anywhere between 7-10 (or so) before bumping a question but, I did see that your original question was about 10 days ago and, i feel, you've been very patient for a response. Kudos to you! :)

I just quoted you and did a call-out to one of the Administrators/Developers to help with gaining the attention of that specific individual.

It was "up and running" within a couple of hours. When I tried accessing the link it was ok. But when I want to change my device on the XDA Labs app I saw two ZTE Maven 3 choises.

Also let me know if you guys want some device images I will send them here if you guys would like. Another thing, on the XDA Labs app I can not access any of the ZTE Maven 3 forums and it just says there is a parsing error.
