If it turns out that this is problem that the majority of people would like to see rectified then the only real impact we could have would be to ask tapatalk to remove that option on the next XDA app update, other apps would obviously continue to have sigs.

However, I suspect that doing so would actually annoy more people than it pleases. You may have to accept that you're in the minority on this one.

This is not, the greatest sig in the world, no, this is a tribute.

Couldn't remember, the greatest sig in the world, no, this is a tribute.

That is in my "real" sig. You know, the box that says "Tapatalk Signature" in app.

I still don't get why this is a big deal for you. If you seriously have that much of a problem with the format, I don't know what to tell you.

Nobody cares about it because it isn't annoying usually. Emphasise on usually, tapatalk sigs are annoying only when they are exceptionally big or when they have pics. They can help you get quite a laugh too :)

Oh, c'mon. Lighten up. This particular issue (for you) is not going to be addressed, so might as well look at the bright side of it. As Prawesome said they can help you smile now and again.

And re jugg1es "show off" sigs. Well, they are fun, philosophical and educational. Not the worst thing in XDA, is it?

Ah, good old debate. I enjoy conversations like that thoroughly. :thumbup:
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Wasn't the point you're making that tapatalk sigs can be hard to distinguish from the rest of the 'actual' content?

How could "Sent from my fingers to your face" or other such tapatalk sigs be misconstrued as anything else?

Yes, in app, it is. Now please, get over it so we can actually do something productive.

Some sort of notification if a user is posting in a topic that's >30 or so days old would be awesome, so maybe we won't have users bumping threads from last July to post stupid youtube videos that are almost, but not quite, relevant.

Just something like this, so they know it's old.

Possibly an alert() would do, too.
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
Right, just wasted 5 mins of my life reading the last two pages of this thread. Feedback was given on app sigs. A decision was made to keep app sigs in unless a majority of people want them removed. This is unlikely going to happen. Decision made, lets move on. Back on topic now please

Oh, and sorry beforehand for my sig. I kinda like it

Would it be possible to allow an OP the ability to lock his own thread only in the development forums?

Ie.. User creates thread for ROM, locks thread, directs all q&a to a q&a thread to keep development threads clean.

No big thing if not, its easy enough to pm a mod.

And while that seems like a okay idea I don't really think people who are bumping threads would care and would probably mask their posts to look like they're commenting for a valid reason also app users wouldn't see it and it wouldn't apply to quick replies

Also thread bumping isn't against the rules you can bump a thread once per day so if it hasn't been updated in 30 days then according to the rules they can bump the thread

I know that the other one is strictly for requests and this one is a bit more "to discuss things" but... Maybe just merge the two and keep op updated on suggestions/requests and development on it? Like:

Request: github field /link

Answer : in progress to be done

21/02/13

Request : make Tapatalk sigs illegal (sorry, just going by recent example)

Answer : not happening since it only bothers very few members

11/02/13

Request : so and so

Answer : currently enquiring

Etc. This way there is a log of what have been asked and answer to it meaning people can check op, and discussions are still allowed.

Thank you, it seems a bit strange to modify a password to remove unacceptable characters without telling the user rather than simply searching for any unacceptable characters and declining it.

What good is an accepted, modified password if no one knows what it is and no one can find out?
[About XDA developers] _Variable:
What if, we were able to customize User Titles to anything like in the Neowin forums?

I mean, instead of generic "Senior Member", I can edit it to say "Cute Little Girl".

To prevent abuse, it wont allow edit to specific phrases like "Recognozed Developer" unless your a mod.

(Off topic)For a second, I though FS has the same sig as me

[About XDA developers] conantroutman:
Again, this comes back to the size of the site and fact that most people would not see such a thread. It would be all too easy for people to add a misleading title and create a headache for both users and mods who have little to no interest in a custom title. Such titles would add no actual benefit to the site.

It's less than ideal to come up with ways of minimizing a problem when the problem can be avoided entirely in the first place.
[About XDA developers] Nameless One:
After a bit of playing around, I think my original problem was most likely password length

(I simply grabbed the full sample ASCII string from a password generation site and used it,

gmail.com could cope so I didn't think too much about the length). I tried pretty much every

non alphanumeric character in the original password I tried that didn't appear to fit

the guidelines you outlined but they all work, my previous comment was merely a reaction

to the suggestion that clean_array_gpc was potentially modifying the password.
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
Thanks for the heads up. From my research it looks like vB max password length is 50 chars.

[About XDA developers] :
I dont know how I reached this thread:eek: maybe because I was lurking too much:p.

I have an idea.

We all know there are many users with post count below 10 and trying to increase it by posting in ot sections. Many of them go unnoticed and some are reported but its not really a good idea to report it everytime, wait for a mod to come and clean it.

Cant we just block a perticular section like off-topic to guests and new members?

I know it can be done on vBulletin and its being used to run xda. That way it will reduce a lot of spam. Also guests have nothing to do with ot section of xda.
[About XDA developers] Prawesome:
Same suggestion was given before and the answer was that the mods would prefer the new posters spam in OT than in development section..
[About XDA developers] :
I am not sure about this but users can be prevented from posting on post count based membergroups such as jr. member, new member and sr. member. They can view those sections but cant post untill they are moved from that usergroup.

There are lots of modifications available to do that.

And sorry, I was not aware that this was suggested earlier:):beer:

[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
The issue with the 10 post rule has been discussed many times with no realistic/achievable alternative being brought forward to date that would work on a site as large as this. It's not a perfect system, but it does prevent "some" useless posts being posted in dev forums, so to an extent, it is serving its purpose. I'd rather see no useless posts if I am honest, but that is not realistic. Yes, we rely on users reporting people trying to boost their post count, and yes, some slip through the net, but I'd rather see 10 useless posts in OT forum than 10 useless posts in dev forums

Hey all, Just wanted to share and request.

Earlier today, I posted a thread of an app called Now Playing. When I decided to make a reserved post, I noticed that it was pushed down by 4-5 other app threads, each having 10k-1M views and hundreds of replies. A few minutes after the reserved post, I checked back. More of the big threads covered up my thread. I immediately thinked that the Android Apps and Games sections is not friendly for new devs.

Another thing I noticed, was those big threads were always up there every day.This doesnt only affect me but also dozens of new app devs posting every day.

A decent solution woupd be, a seperate forum for the new app threads, and once a thread there reaches 10k views and 500 comments, it will be moved to the main forum where all the big threads go.

If I'm not mistaken I believe tapatalk HD has that feature

S4 INFO
[About XDA developers] :
Actually tapatalk adds all features from its plugin which is installed at forum. Adding the same notification system on such large system would cause server loads. Think how many notifications would have to be delivered every minute.

I dont know the real reason why xda denies to add it.
[About XDA developers] conantroutman:
Pretty much exactly what you just said.

Also, anyone who frequents several busy threads would be swamped with notifications and would not want this feature. Negatives > positives.
[About XDA developers] TingTingin:
I think u guys misunderstand I wasn't recommending that feature I was telling him if he wanted it all he needed to do was download tapatalk HD

The feature I was asking about was separating the apps and games section into new apps and more well established one's in the apps and games section the idea probably needs some polishing though

S4 INFO
[About XDA developers] :
May be option would work.

Like when you post in certain thread you will get an option to enable ajax notifier for the perticular thread which can be later disabled. The option will be just beside post/preview buttons.

It would also mean that to make it truly ideal, these notifications could be turned on/off on a per thread basis.

Afterall, yes I'd find it ideal for certain smaller threads but I wouldn't want it available in quite a few threads due to the reason you mentioned. It would just be a major PITA for all the really active threads I join in with.

Unless it was automated so once a thread reaches a certain threshold it gets moved to the relevant section, it would require quite a lot of mod work to ensure it was maintained properly.

That's the only downside to be honest.

As a brand new user who registered for the express purpose of helping out a app that's being developed, the most annoying thing is to say 10 things in a non-development-related forum.

[About XDA developers] Deadly:
Yup there is a better way.. why not help 10 people ? If you are here to help an app Dev.. you can't post 10 useful things in help thread? Don't get posts by talking about 10 post rule.. and if you spam to get 10 posts .. they will be deleted.. so no point in doing that.. its not at all hard to help 10 people in q&a section..

You will get to 10 posts before you even knew it.. it'll hardly take an hour at Max.. so please don't say the same thing that has been said over 1000's of time by other new users who didn't care about this rule as soon as they got 10 posts.. its not going to change.. unless someone has a better option/idea which has no flaws..

Besides.. there is a PM feature.. you can PM dev or any other user who supports that dev thread to post there behalf of you..
