Hi guys,

For the last week or so the behaviour of the

section (using the 2013 themes) has changed. It now disregards colouring information, and auto-colours things by itself, or am I just missing something :confused: :eek:

For example, it should be:
[HIDE][IMG]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2876610&stc=1&d=1406730278[/IMG][/HIDE]

but changes to:
[HIDE][IMG]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2876611&stc=1&d=1406730278[/IMG][/HIDE]

or even:
[HIDE][CODE]C:\ADB3>[B][COLOR="Blue"]fastboot devices[/COLOR][/B]

If you're trying to colour-code according to a certain syntax, maybe you can add a "language" setting, e.g.

or [CODE=C++] etc, though I guess that would be a huge undertaking.

Thanks in advance for any feedback

I have tested some android roms and kernels for 2 different smartphones and gave feedback to the developer, but unfortunately I couldn't post my experience in the appropriate development forums. The rule that every user has to write 10 posts in other areas of the forum prevents people from contributing to the android development imho. I don't like this.

[About XDA developers] Neo:
Just as most drivers are required to get a learner's permit before they can drive freely with a license, so must new members of xda fulfil a minimum requirement before posting in Development forums which is the very heart of the site. Not only is this designed to prevent spammers from making a mess of the site, but it also allows new members to become acquainted with our site's format and gain some understanding and practice of XDA's rules and guidelines.

Perhaps you can shelf your development enriching feedback for a short time and post in some of the general forums. Sharing your knowledge will likely positively impact other members who may be less technologically inclined as you and help towards a mutual benefit for all members and the site. Once you've seasoned up some, you can post in the bigger threads :)

We appreciate the time and effort every member takes towards xda as we continue to grow by the second and look forward to future contributions from New members such as yourself.

[About XDA developers] vordhosbnbg:
The "10 post requirement" needed to post in the Development section seems absurd. I have been registered for over an year and wanted to reply on some dev topics multiple times. Didn't like the idea of spamming some general topics just to reach 10 post barrier. Maybe it doesn't seems much to some people, but it really annoyed me. Maybe such requirement could be easened for users registered for more than 6 months... Just an idea.

P.S.: This is my thenth post... yay :|
[About XDA developers] Vivek_Neel:
Dude its just 10 post not 100 post.

Y don't you make those 10 posts in q&a section /general in a sense of helping or asking your questions?

It should be much easy to overcome 10 post . try it :)
[About XDA developers] vordhosbnbg:
Well, I was able to get around the basic newb mistakes by reading the guides and frankly did not have any valid questions that I could ask, so I posted in some general threads, I would otherwise not just to make those 10 posts. I know it may seem like non-issue to someone with 7000+ posts, but it was a real honest issue for me. Just sayin... :)
[About XDA developers] steve-m:
The less you care about what and how you write, the easier it is.

Maybe I should avoid thinking too much befor writing - it's no guaranty for a good outcome anyway. ;)
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
You say it doesn't seem like an issue to someone with so many posts but the thing is, this rule was added in 2010 (I can't remember what month though). Every single person who has signed up since then, myself included, have had this limitation on their account. I, like most other members, didn't see this as an issue as we'd read the rules and knew that it existed for a good reason. We therefore knew that if we wanted to take part in any development threads, we'd either need to get properly involved in a general discussion or help out other members in the Q&A section of our device.

You could've done exactly that. If you've read guides and therefore don't need to ask any questions, that doesn't mean that other members have no questions either. There are often really basic questions posted which could either be answered by someone who's read a guide (even though that's what every member should do) or via a quick Google search.

While this is probably the most complained about rule that we have in place, the vast majority of new members simply don't find it an issue :)

I didn't want to do this but I'm tired of Mods closing good threads in OT. JUST STOP IT! Off-topic was fun but it is **** now!
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
We always have, and always will close threads that deteriorate into mindless spamming. Sorry, but your definition of good threads goes against the forum rules. :)
[About XDA developers] ironman38102:
Are you kidding me? What's the fun in OT then? Why not just close the OT since I think it defeats the purpose having OT.
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
It doesn't. If you look at OT right now, you'll see a lot of OT threads (as in, not related to mobile devices/development) that aren't spam (as a matter of fact, the threads we did close are the minority, though an uninformed user would think otherwise reading your posts), but encourage and contain various discussions.

If you want threads you can spam in, you're welcome to visit other forums where that's not against the rules.
[About XDA developers] OfficerJimLahey:
Not sure if I'm in the right spot (this isn't a bug, not a question, and it's about the site). I recently switched cell providers (from Rogers to Eastlink). I know Eastlink is a small company (as it only operates in a few Canadian provinces), but it is not in the service provide list for the sites user profile. I do see similarly smaller companies listed (like Videotron and Wind Mobile), so it makes sense that Eastlink should be added as well. Even a write-in option would be cool.

TL;DR: Please add "Canada - Eastlink Wireless" to user profile.

Random Thread

My Sugesstion to make this page better is the feature of calling a random post or thread!

Maybe there's just a button or link.

Maybe advanced features like „Post at 25.11.2010 or older"

„Usernames that only start with W" (I know, WugFresh is now in your mind(s)!)

or Whatever!

But this feature should call one of alll those many posts (or threads in the whole big forum, this forum is soooo huge!)

Another possible option: Random Unread Posts, Random Unread thread.

This could help to find unknown threads on this site.:confused:

The random feature boosts you finding someone, that you can help in a thread!:laugh::D

[About XDA developers] garyd9:
A slightly drunken suggestion:

In place of (or in addition to) the 10 post requirement, someone should create and bury a post containing specific keywords and containing some type of passphrase. In order to post in dev sections, a user would have to meet the following requirements:

1. They've used the search function on XDA at least once.

2. They have to enter that hidden (but easily found via search) passphrase. One of the various "newbie guides" would suggest to the user (in text) that if they search for whatever is hidden (something would have to clue them into specific keywords to search for), that they'd find the way to post in the dev section.

The idea isn't to make it harder, but just to ensure that the user at least has a clue how to use search.

I'm starting to give up on having all the users actually contributing to the community. I'd almost be happy if at least all the users knew how to use search (and employed that knowledge.)

[About XDA developers] roofrider:
+1 @gary's points.

The moderation of the site needs to more professional..i know it's not your job but still it needs to be done like a pro.

Similarly..a couple of threads which were in Orig Dev in my subforum for many months was recently moved to Dev, after the moderation policy change. The previous mod who was also a dev had no problems with it but now one of the allotted mod seems to think otherwise...i didn't report it cuz the OP wasn't bothered by it.

Feels like the mods don't have a set of solid protocols to follow, or maybe they're interpreting them differently.

Some mods allow for more than one OT thread to exist in the General section, especially certain game/story kinda threads which already exist in OT forum should not be allowed in the device general sections...but that mod might not be aware of the same thread in OT forum.

So in a nutshell no OT threads should be allowed in the general section except maybe for one general hangout thread to discuss device-specific bacons.
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
This thread was started over a year ago in another device forum as an off topic thread for people to blow off steam. Why it was moved is beyond me. Now I have avoided your posts as I dont agree with alot of what you have to say. Android has killed any real development as it is stupid simple to so as you have described. Any noob can run a rom through a kitchen and then post what they get out of it. Long has it been since we have seen any real development on the Android platform, we have ports and winzip roms. All of which have no real development involved at all.
[About XDA developers] garyd9:
I somewhat agree with you. We do have some real development, but the overwhelming majority of the stuff being posted is NOT development (or at least not what I consider to be development.) Some of it at least is customized somewhat, and I can understand (even if I don't always agree) that the customization might be called development. (Then again, I recently started messing with smali - and I have to admit that mucking with smali code is pretty close to working in un-commented assembly.)

However, at the risk of being confrontational, my question for you is simple: When you see this stuff going on, as a Senior Moderator, why isn't it being corrected?
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
You want an honest answer? It breaks down to that is not the way XDA wants it. I love this site and will stand behind the decisions made. Even if I dont agree with them. As far as I am concerned. Every thing that has no real development needs to be removed. Will this make us lose members? Most likely, but it will be worth it in the long run to get back to a real development site. As for the smli code it is the spawn of hell lmao.
[About XDA developers] garyd9:
Fair enough. In my case, I've started taking steps to TRY and get some things changed for the same reasons. I know I can't change everything, but if I'm not trying, it means I've given up hope.

So I'll kick this back to the Admin's:

Why is "bacon" on topic for the AT&T NoteII general section, but "sausage" isn't? (The question is sarcastic - the point is: why is this allowed?)

Why is it that if someone takes a stock firmware and changes a wallpaper color, that its NOT allowed in "android development", but if they take that same stock firmware and don't change anything at all, it IS "android development"?

[About XDA developers] pandasa123:
XDA is a site that requires a lot of resources. They need revenue to make sure that they can keep the site online. The best way to do this is to keep only ads instead of making people subscribe or asking for donations (which generally bring less revenue)
