Hi,

[About XDA developers] Setting.Out:
I spoke with Darth, he said to post here, it's about the 'thanks' limit. Since there are no "member awards" for being cool, nor benefits toward being helpful other than a thank you (which is enough, this is a hobby) it's nice to give and receive thanks. The 8 per day limit imposes restrictions on the ability to give thanks and inadvertently clogs threads with thank you messages, which I'm assuming is why the button was created. I've heard talk of abusing the thanks button, but I can't see the harm. If a member managed to use a bot to boost his/her thanks how would this be of any benefit other than bragging? If you must impose limits, please raise them or add more per level (5 junior, 10 member, 20 senior, 30+ for devs, contributors, ect..) I know I'm not the first, I have read other requests as well as even more complaints. This is an exhausted question, but I still feel it to be valid. The reward for being a true member is the thanks you receive for helping others, please consider my request, thank you...

As written in OP ("If you are not a moderator or admin on the forums, please do NOT respond to any posts in the thread...", etc.), I can't answer you precisely about your question.

But you have to know I've already requested such thing to moderators in another thread and they gave me valid arguments that thanks limit is important and I agree. That said, I've requested like you to raise just a bit this limit and depending on member title (actually, only for Recognized members), so I totally agree with you. My only remark is the values you suggest are too high IMO...
[About XDA developers] Setting.Out:
Yes, I've seen similar requests like yours, and am not fixed on my example of raising the limit. I do feel that as users "earn" their place in this community that their abilities should too. I can see the desire to have a cap, but still question its usefulness.. Perhaps if the 'thanks' had its outside value removed and stood only as a counter of appreciation we could remove the need to limit. There are ways to 'level up' without removing the ability to express appreciation. The mantra of XDA is to give thanks to any one who offers help even if that help isn't what you were looking for. It's a civil request for a unified comradely and as a side effect, a cleaner happier thread and user experience..

(I would offer my thanks to you, but ironically I've long since hit my 8 per day.. :( ... )
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
About the Thanks button, the limit is, for the most part, more than enough. I've hardly ever used all 8 within a day and even on the days when I have done, it's not a big deal to either wait until the next day or ignore it.

As I hardly ever need help with anything, I hardly ever give a Thank to someone for helping me out. In that situation, I sometimes go to certain guides in my device forum and press the Thanks button there - regardless of whether I've used the guide or not. Me using the Thanks button in this manner means that I don't run out.

The Thanks button was introduced for the reason you said - to stop as many people clogging up threads with posts just saying Thanks. While this still happens, it's nowhere near as bad as it was beforehand.

Other than cutting down on all the useless posts a little bit, the Thanks button is generally pointless. Most people dont even focus on how many they have. However, a members Thanks count can be some kind of indicator as to how helpful a member has been to the community. For that reason, people abusing the Thanks button would be a problem.

It's not as if you're really missing out with how many you have to use though in comparison to staff. I can't remember how many more, if any, Forum Mods get as I hardly ever use them anyway. Even Senior Mods don't even get double the amount you can use though.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
My point of view:

It depends on your activity on XDA, the more you read and read useful posts for yourself OR for everyone, the more you can thanks people.

It could be a quite big deal if we have to remember/bookmark every useful posts and then come back later (time eater).

It's not the case for everyone, you are obviously an experienced member as we can see, but a lot of people need help and are actually helped by others. Also I often thanks members when they help others than me or if they just need to be encouraged for their good posts/work.

I don't agree, I can see A LOT of people:

- asking for thanks in their posts or in their sig (its really unpolite!) :eek:

- saying they are "very happy" to have xxxx thanks. For example I've already read a guy on twitter saying something like "I have reached 1000 thanks on XDA, I can die in peace..."

If we allow ONLY Recognized members (I know it's not exacly what Setting.Out asked because he also talked about Juniors, Members and Seniors) to have a bit more thanks like for instance 15 instead of 8, it won't hurt anyone. RCs RTs, are by definition well behaved (at least supposed to), so we can trust such recognized members to not abuse the thanks button. Finally, having more allowed thanks per day doesn't mean we will always use them all.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
The Thanks button usage that I'm talking about isn't about my usage now, considering I'm clearly not very active. This was when I was well and truly active and was actively posting in a bunch of device forums here. I still hardly ever ran out. I know that my usage of the Thanks button is clearly different to others but I can only explain things from my experience.

Which is exactly why I included the option to ignore it (so don't bother giving a Thank if it's a big deal to find such posts the following day). As I mentioned previously, most people don't care about Thanks so they're not gonna be bothered if you don't give them a Thanks just because you've ran out.

I know it's not the case for everyone. When speaking on such topics, the best I can do is speak from experience. But just because someone needs a ton of help, does that mean they should get a much higher limit of Thanks to give out? Of course not.

You may see a lot of people like that however they're in the minority. With how many people we have on this site, it's a very small amount indeed. Also, it's generally the less experienced people/people newer to XDA who actually put extra value on Thanks count.

Senior Mods only get 15 so why would Recognized members? Going by the usage you previously explained, Senior Mods would need them much more.

If a change to the amount of Thanks we can give was gonna happen, it would've happened a long time ago considering this isn't a new request. Basically since the addition of the Thanks button some people have been asking for it. The fact that the majority are happy enough with the amount we have, why would a change be made?
[About XDA developers] woodman:
Ignore option could be interpreted as an unpolite behaviour.

I didn't know the amount for SM before your reply above.

The limit for Recognized members could be 10 or 12 then? ;)

I'm not going to argue more than this. Thanks anyways.
[About XDA developers] Setting.Out:
Though I respect the decisions made within the community, I don't agree with all of them. My life, nor others will be greatly impacted by the convenience of a few more thanks, a cleaner thread or a few less complaints. It is a first world problem, and isn't significant in the grand scheme of things.

The community comes together in the love of tech, tweaks and learning how not to brick expensive toys. We become extended families tied together by common devices and interests. We yearn to find our place in the community; to be accepted, to be appreciated for our contributions, and to show appreciation and acceptance to the ones that contribute to us and our community as well.

Its just a few thanks, not very significant, yet a continuous complaint. The idea hasn't been stifled, the want hasn't been waned and the fact that it is helpful for us hasn't been listened to. We ask for a realistic look at a small change for the better. A couple lines of code for a bit of community appreciation.

I thank you for your time reviewing this, but ask again to reconsider the change..
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
When I say ignore it, it may come across as impolite but that's not the intention.

Simply that as most people don't care about Thanks, not giving someone a Thank isn't a big deal.

Let's be real though. If you've ran out of Thanks for the day, it's not as if you cant post your Thanks as a comment. By this, I don't simply mean write "Thanks". That's the exact kind of post which was the reason for the Thanks button. However, saying thank you to someone with some proper substance in your post is never a bad idea and wasn't the intended target of the Thanks button.

To think that the idea hasn't been listened to is wrong. Every serious suggestion that's made is listened to by the admin team and discussed by them.

I doubt it but let's pretend that the admins agree with you and want to increase the number. That doesnt mean it would happen any time soon. On a site as big as this, there are always going to be more important things which take precedence.

I must add though that I'm not one of those who reviewing this as the change has nothing to do with me. I'm giving my opinion and thoughts based on the experience of seeing this question asked nunerous times before and the result always being the same
[About XDA developers] Primokorn:
I already saw many pros and cons to increase the Thanks limit and I really don't understand the problem with allowing 8 or 12 thanks per day, anyways.

However, I noticed that the Thanks button is like a "tracking tool" for some devs. Some Devs use URL tracking, download counts,... but other devs don't use it. For example, the Thanks button helps them to see if an update is appreciated. It's also a motivation, like a Paypal donation or a purchase on Google Play. "No thanks, no interest?".

I don't care about the Thanks counts since I observed that people are thanking for anything and everything.

Maybe the Thanks button is definitively not important for most of XDA Staff but please do not underestimate its value for many XDA devs.

BTW many times I had to bookmark a post to press the Thanks button later and I don't understand why the Thanks button is available in OT threads :confused:
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
In my experience, most devs don't care. Yes they can be used to gauge interest/appreciation but mainly that'll be done via download count + feedback they receive.

If you're in a dev thread though and wish to leave a Thank on the OP but you don't have any left, it wouldn't really be a big deal to get back to that thread the following day considering there's a good chance you'll be active in that thread (whether viewing or commenting) as you like that content.

I've not once said that no-one finds the Thanks button useful, just that the majority of members don't care about it.

The Thanks button isn't available in the OT section by the way. If there's an OT thread in a device forum, the Thanks button can't be turned off there as it can only be done on a forum basis not a thread by thread basis

Guys but if we thanked button better than if we write thanks on the thread & make some pages only for thank u ? So the thanks button its really good for development ,, & yes sometimes we missed unlimited thanks , like before ,, just an opinion ,,

Hey mate , im still here on XDA , u know where u can find me ( Samsung forums ) ,, yes before few months we was can get unlimited thanks button but for some reason XDA Admins they disabled unlimited & fixed this bug with Tapatalk & now only limited as 8 per day ,,
[About XDA developers] Primokorn:
Because some users don't want to use bloated apps or proprietary softwares. Anyways, I don't want to open an app each time I want to hit the Thanks button.
[About XDA developers] Droidriven:
Open an app to hit thanks? Huh? I don't open an app to press thanks, I press it while I'm already in the app and using it. When I'm in mobile or PC browser I just click the thanks under the post. I don't quite get you.
[About XDA developers] Primokorn:
When I'm out of thanks while browsing on my PC, I have to open the Tapatalk app (just to press a button). Not very handy, isn't it? :)
[About XDA developers] woodman:
Yes not very handy indeed, but as said by Trafalgar Square, the unlimited thanks doesn't exist anymore with Tapatalk. Last time I've tried while out of thanks, the thanks button worked but in reality, the thanks was not given (checked on my PC).

I have uninstalled Tapatalk a long time ago, so maybe unlimited thanks are back but I really doubt it since XDA staff fixed this "backend breach" and I confirmed it at that time.

Hello XDA, I apologize if the answer to this is somewhere in this thread. But I can't search for it! I have googled and am unable to find the answer.

I am using Chrome browser on a Windows 10 laptop. The search function within a thread has worked for me for many years. But for about a week, I get:

Uploading files/picts errors

Receiving upload errors attempting to use the 'Attachment' function via PC/Win7, Workstation and/or Laptop, three browsers.

Am attempting to 'Attach' pictures to a couple of posts. No joy...

Under the "Manage Attachments" popup all I am getting is 'Upload Errors' & 'Upload of file failed.'

(Interestingly, with the Vivaldi browser it doesn't popup but is a full screen window...)

.JPGs files are under 256K.

Changed them to .GIFs, which were under 512K.

Even tried .ZIPs, .7Zs, etc without success.

Tried it every which way I could think of. Wasted too much of my time attempting something simple.

Did a couple of picts via URL links to a photo hosting site, but that clutters up the post(s).

Picts are on the PC from a digital camera.

TIA,

_D.

EDIT:

Can upload picts to an album from the UserCP with both PC & Tablet.

Still can not upload pictures as an attachment in a post/thread...

Am I posting this in the correct thread? I would sure like to find a solution for this...

In fact I can't find a way to even stop it if I want to.

The bank account it's linked to through PayPal will be closed in less than a month.

[About XDA developers] Eleo:
Hello

I've been using the site and the app for a long time. I have got 32 messages in my inbox and for all of them I replied. But I cannot access the replies I sent in my sent folder. After that I found out that when I go advanced on my private message I can check a box saying "save a copy in inbox". And whenever I write a new message I can see that it is disabled by default, so that my replies are not saved in site. That means each time I'm sending a private message I have to go advanced, check the "save copy in inbox" and write down my message. Is there anyway to make it save my sent private messages by default? I know that I can access most of them by downloading the inbox as xml or csv, but I would like to have a copy each time I reply a message without going advanced and checking box everytime

Cheers
[About XDA developers] :
There's an option in your control panel, under edit options, check the box to auto save all sent messages. :good:

[About XDA developers] Mazda:
Ok I would like to suggest something that I think a lot of developers/themers and XDA regulars would like see go away or at the very least modified to fix the problem on hand.

The rating system on here in my personal opinion is not being used for it's intend purpose!

Trolls, haters, little kids, whatever you want to call them....use this as a way to cause problems! To piss off a developer or a themer or just someone that starts a thread with a goal to make the community better! They do this to discourage that developer/themer/user and honestly I'm one of them! I'm one of them that has had enough!

I've had threads that there was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the product (ROM/THEME/MOD/ETC..)

For a quick example, take my thread I just opened in the One X+

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2091115

There's nothing wrong with my thread! I have screenshots, a clear organized OP, instructions, FAQs, video and everything that could help a user before flashing or even after flashing! Also along with the ROM, there's hardly NOTHING wrong with the ROM!

NOW I HATE to sound like I'm complaining but I've suggested this to moderators before ONLY to be told "yeah, you got a point" or "well, that's life" and the BS continues!

That way of handling issues, I think I'll reserve for another day BUT for right now....could this be at the very least taken under consideration?

I believe that if modified to where everyone could see your rating, like the polls...it would discourage the trolls a bit from rating a thread that doesn't deserve to be rated 1 star....aka trolling!

Thank you,

Alex aka Mazda

You were able to post here O.o

Well now that you have 10posts, I guess you can into dev now and ask away.

The thread has 4 stars. What's the problem? I could understand if you linked to a thread where people were conspiring to vote it down, and your thread only had 1 star. But it has 4. Maybe people vote like me, and not everything is deserving of 5, 3 is good, 4 is great, 5 being outstanding. Can you provide a link to a thread where a working bug free rom has a thread rating of 3 or less?

Just looked

3 Average

4 Good

5 Excellent

That's what comes up when you go to vote on a thread. So your's has a rating of Good.
[About XDA developers] conantroutman:
I don't have a solution for you I'm afraid but I will say that the whole thread rating system seems a bit redundant to me and personally I don't think I've ever once acknowledged a threads rating when looking into something.

Look at it this way, do you really want people using your work who are willing to base their decision on an out of five rating system or people who read the OP and make an informed decision? I know that doesn't really help with the frustration of unfair voting but it's about all I've got at the moment :p

I will certainly pass on the suggestion about ratings being made viewable though. Whether it can be implemented or not I don't know, there's also the argument that people are entitled to a private vote.

[About XDA developers] boborone:
Are you trying to ignore device forums? You can make a custom forum view if you use the app and the subscribed tab in the forum tab. I use the app to subscribe to forums and then when you click forum on the web site, if you then click subscribed, it only shows the forums and threads you have subscribed to.
