(my)New Suggestions for XDA-UI (User-Interface)

Hello, dear XDA,

i'd like to write two new suggestions in this forum about the XDA-User Interface.

First of all, the new 2015-Style is Ugly (what i think, well, it's the matter of taste)

But since a few weeks, the XDA-Forums Standard changed from 2013 to 2015, so it automaticcly changes to 2015 Frequently.

My Preferred Styles are 2010, 2013 and 2013/1024

even if i don't know the difference between those two 2013-Styles.

2010 has even also got „Search in Thread" and you're able to adjust the thread-view-mode between „Hybrid";„Linear“ and the Threaded-Mode. It's not there in 2013 so please fix this!

And another thing: On the Changelog i saw the XDA-2002 style with a

Member-List.

Why is the memberlist removed?

In this snapshot there was a button for this (the MemberList-Feature)feature.

Another Question - What's the Difference between „XDA2013" and „XDA 2013 - 1024r“ ?
[About XDA developers] cajunflavoredbob:
You guys finally put in a dark theme on the site.

I love you guys...
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
You can change your theme. I believe it should stick unless you clear your cookies(?).

The 1024 version has no sidebar. That's the only major difference

"Search in thread" is available in all the themes (although obviously in different locations). Look in the sidebar if you can't find it, or at the top of the thread.

XDA has close to six million members now. ;)
[About XDA developers] Hannah Stern:
Suggestion:„Random Style Chooser“ between choosen options!

Ok, thank you for fast answering! Yesterday i had a suggestion that i forgot to write. It's:

Is there a random style chooser?

I don't think think that there is one.

So well,,... it's just a suggestion by me.

But thankyou, it was so easy to understand your answer and you did even answer all questions of me in my last post!
[About XDA developers] Hannah Stern:
6 Million Members? The Member Counter (online Users+ Total Users) is only on the both 2013-Styles!

Where can you find it on the other stýles?
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
That's correct, the counter is only there if you use the 2013 style as far as I can see. However, it's much more fun to get it by hand!

We know XDA hit 5 million members a while ago. We know daily registrations have approximately dropped from 2000 to 1850 since then (about 18 months)…

Simple math, assuming ~1900 registrations/day:

5×10⁶ + 1900 × 18 × 30 = 6,026,000​

Looks like we hit the 6 million members mark not too long ago! :victory::victory:

But here's the fun part — we can accurately approximate how many members XDA will have in the future, without (!) a time machine. From the changelog page, we know this:

2002: assume 0 registrations/day.

2007: 700 registrations/day.

2008: 1600 registrations/day.

2009: 2300 registrations/day.

2010: 2400 registrations/day.

2011: 5500 registrations/day.

2012: 1800 registrations/day.

2013: 2000 registrations/day.

2014: 1850 registrations/day.

Let's assume registrations are linear from 2002 till 2007… Interpolate using the data we know, and you get a graph that accurately (OK, not really — there are some minor errors because we only have a yearly count of daily registrations) shows how the future of XDA looks like…

As you can see, all is going fine for now, but registrations will soon plummet and accounts will start *disappearing* (this is maths! it can't be wrong!), and XDA will have no one left at all soon after 2015… But it gets worse! The daily registrations and member count on XDA become negative after that, going towards -∞ at a ridiculous speed!

This can only mean one thing. Remember when people thought the world was going to end in 2014? They were right (and I bet the government's trying to hide it, which explains the increased space activity lately: they're making colonies so that an "elite" can survive after Earth's destruction). This is maths. Hard proof. Irrefutable. And anyone's telling you approximations are just that, and wouldn't be very accurate with the type of data we have is probably employed by the government.

Well, you still have a few weeks. Enjoy it while it lasts, it's been a fun ride.

Ads

I've been a very satisfied member of XDA for several years. I think this is an invaluable site. I also understand this is a commercial establishment. However, the recent additions of adding pop ups at the bottom of every page is diving me to distraction. Some of my devices change display resolution after opening each new page, making continued use of the forums extremely difficult and annoying.

I am philosophically against using ad blockers, and have not used any for several years, everybody's allowed to try and make a buck. But this level of continual bombardment at every page shift within your site is, from my user perspective, way way way over the top and is exceeding my individual capacity to view, or ignore, them with aplomb.

I know I'm free to switch sites, block ads or take whatever action I choose, so this is not meant as a rant, but more as an expression of my inability to effectively utilize the site past the advertising.
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
I'm not sure what you mean by popups. If they're dialogs that appear on top of everything else, then they're intrusive ads – please report them so they can get taken care of (XDA doesn't choose ads by hand, an ad provider is used which shouldn't give intrusive ads, but some slip through).

Edit: please use this thread to report intrusive ads: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1696660

If you want to Quote a Post which includes Quotes itself, then the Quote inside of the Quoted Message will be excluded. Is there a possibility to avooud this exclusion?

Which is actually your favourite XDA-Style?

[About XDA developers] mupet0000:
I really dislike the layout of the new site, where as I could read the name of a thread in one line, now everything is bigger, one thread name can take two lines and pages become unnecessarily large. Is there a way to change the theme back?
[About XDA developers] Neo:
In the very bottom left hand corner of the site while in the forum, there is a drop down for changing back to any theme you liked best.
[About XDA developers] mupet0000:
Thanks, I had no idea it was that easy :)
[About XDA developers] Magissia:
Hello, it could be pleasant to be able to hide the sidebar, at home on a 1080p screen no problem, but when using a laptop it makes reading uncomfortable.

Auto hiding it when monitor's resolution is smaller or equal to 1280 wide seems legit, with a button to allow the user to keep the side-bar if required.
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
That's planned. :) In the future, please use this thread for issues/suggestions related to the 2015 theme.
[About XDA developers] :
Like the new Q&A bot for the dev sections. Great idea, especially for new users to ask for help. Hope the rom experts help in them too.

One thing that might be nice is if it could link to the rom thread. And if possible....tag the roms OP or something with the Q&A link....or automatically post a second post in the rom thread with the Q&A link. I think that would help a lot.

Here's hoping the devs and their loyal members help out in Q&A. ?
[About XDA developers] molitar:
I do not like the new 2015 theme as it has gotten rid of the most used menu Quick Links. Why is that gone? Secondly it seems to be awfully graphic heavy as my browser will lag before it can scroll and such. Never had that problem until the new theme. I changed my theme back to 2013 beta when it still ran fluently.

One thing I really liked about 2013 beta is that I could collapse forums for all the phones and devices I did not have so only those relevant to me was expanded. Would be nice to see that after whatever the heavy load is on 2015 is fixed. Would be nice to see collapsible forums in the new version with the default being collapsed and the user opens up the one they wish to browse. The scrolling is a nightmare when they are all expanded in the forums.
[About XDA developers] gray_silver:

its hard for me to explore when you browser cannot fit the site.
[About XDA developers] Neo:
Why not use a Mobile App? Such as our XDA One?: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2899329

[About XDA developers] gray_silver:
thank you very sir.
[About XDA developers] kuzibri:
Hi KJ,

Regarding the Q&A link in the new bot for dev sections: IMPO, the link is already there, cause all the dev's threads will be using the DevDB system in which the Q&A is embedded in the Dev's thread, or am I wrong with that assumption?

kindest regards, kuzibri
[About XDA developers] Neo:
The OP of the Development thread actually receives a PM informing them of the auto generated Q&A (for which they may or may not participate in at their discretion). Most times however, answers can be obtained by others within the same community who know the answer or have dealt with that specific problem/request in the past.

The auto-generated Q&A thread is conveniently added as a tab for members to shortcut to it from the Development Thread :)
[About XDA developers] Ritvars:
Would be nice if the Dark Theme really was black and not just grey. I think all of us - Amoled screen users - would be very glad.
[About XDA developers] Primokorn:
It would be nice to have a sub-folder with all auto-generated Q&A threads. Otherwise most of them will be lost and never used.
[About XDA developers] Neo:
When it is created, a message appears to the to the person that generated it informing them of what it is, a pm gets sent to the OP of the Development Thread, it appears in the list of threads in the Q&A section, and a tab linking directly to it is added to the Development Thread corresponding to it. Nothing is getting lost for sure.

Hi, I think this is the correct thread, apologies if not.

I noticed a small error in the dark 2015 theme and have a suggestion for the light version.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3?styleid=22#romList I was on this page and using the 2015 dark theme the column headers are very light text on a white background, extremely difficult to see. (it says Name, Device, Contributor etc etc)

also on the light theme any chance of making the text in general a bit darker? It's readable but sometimes it needs a "second" read to make sure it said what it said. (if that makes any sense whatsoever

It has a big link to an iPhone forum... They likely made the fake xda site too. So if you see that... You know it's fake. I always tack "xda" on my searches and have never found that fake site. And working on XDA Assist, I do about 10 to 30 searches per day... And have never found that site. So I don't think it's a huge issue.

[About XDA developers] AndyYan:
Hmm, just sayin, isn't the homepage of the forum too crowded (both on PC and on XDA Premium client)? The top is filled with old devices that are not living much longer and has a development state close to "low activity", while the bottom gets crowded with new, unheard devices that doesn't get much development at all (yeah I'm looking at you, Micromax and Xolo) - what's them messing between the flagship names when they aren't even sold in US & EU?

Back when 2 years ago, I saw that homepage is cleaned up a bit by moving a lot of devices to the "legacy & low activity" section, but similar clean-ups can't be seen these days.

If possible, can someone initiate a clean-up? For the top part, leave only some classic devices there (e.g. Nexus One, S, HD2), and for the bottom part gather these Micromax and Xolo devices alike in a separate subforum (which in turn have subforums for each of these devices) made for devices coming from Asia manufacturers, make it a "hub" for people with these devices to discuss issues across.

This all sounds a bit similar to the "top devices" part of the homepage, but yeah, the middle part still contains many devices that are in development yet not as classic as the flagships, so its hit-rate is pretty low.

These questions you ask are common sense questions.

Threads go where they belong. Why would you post a device specific thread in the off topic forum?

"But what happens if you stand on one leg while posting a Q&A thread in the moderator forum with a redirect to the Nexus 6 development forum having uploaded a youtube video of Taylor Swift playing basketball with lil wheezy under water?"

If you are going to post a question about each possible permutation of the application of rules, I can save you the time.

1) Follow the rules.

2) Post things where they go.

[About XDA developers] vikraminside:
Long time member to XDA. Love it. Benifitted by XDA and its usefulness.

Now concerns, I feel few long time members and mods get together and sideline XDA' s core values.

Eg: Gmail Inbox invite thread. Each member after getting invite create own preferences to invite others.

I created a thread to create a sequential invite and iron out differences but it was closed.

I did not get invite from XDA member but it did not stop me from helping xda.

Why XDA became just another forum with likes and dislikes?

Shameful.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
As you'll no doubt be aware, your thread was closed because a thread with the exact same purpose already exists and was linked to in the closing message.

If we were to allow all duplicate threads to remain open, this forum would quickly become unmanageable. Considering Inbox is the latest "trend" going around, if all threads were to remain open, we'd literally have hundreds of them (all doing exactly the same job) scattered around XDA.

You then went on to moan in the above linked thread about how your thread had been closed and you weren't happy with the decision. If you don't agree with a moderators decision, the way to handle it is to contact the moderator in question via PM and discuss it with them. I don't know whether you've done that yet but that should always be the first port of call.
[About XDA developers] vikraminside:
Dear Kidcartner,

Agreed. Firstly I got in touch with senior mod. Regarding "moaning" there was no need for me. I received invite from Google friend the next day I requested not from XDA.

Analyze pros and cons of a thread before calling next one a duplicate. There are hundreds of unhappy users in that thread because vague rules.

I clearly explained there qbefore starting the thread. I CAME HERE TO HELP and see to it all members get invite.

If thread is "unmanageable" please try to break it into two like "better battery stats" thread. Remember voting?

Members requested me so I started new thread.
