It would be nice to have a better and quicker access to the list of phones/brands sections. Everytime I'm looking for something for a specific phone, I have to use google. Some years ago the site was much better in that specific aspect. Thanks.
[About XDA developers] babylonbwoy:
For few days now when I clic "more info" below users avatar it act like "home" button, it take me on top of the page.

Edit : the page reload itself and after that the "more info" button disappear! Tried many times with different users buttons and same results

Is me or a bug ?
[About XDA developers] ZaLiTHkA:
Doesn't happen to me, tried with both Chrome and FireFox under Linux Mint x64. (: Maybe try clearing your browser cache?

Edit: Clicking that button should only expand the content shown below the user's avatar, it shouldn't reload anything on the page.
[About XDA developers] babylonbwoy:
Yes, usually I was using it to see where poster comes from when it is filled.

Will try other browsers and cleaning my cache.

Edit : Ok, thanks.chrome cache cleaning fixed it ;)

^^^^

Never got a word on this. Is this the new design?
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
IIRC, my issue was the breadcrumbs/page numbers/search showing at the bottom but the one on top being half broken. That is fixed now, and I think it's safe to say the fixed result is a new design that allows us to search/check the thread location without going back to the top of the page.
[About XDA developers] peterbonge:
Where is it fixed? Here it still looks like this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42223043&postcount=1489

The bottom part of this forum is broken for nearly one month now. I wonder why it takes so long to fix it. Thank god the 1024 layout still works and there the page numbers are where they should be.
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
The page numbers/search/... bottom pane takes all the available space for me (it leaves a left margin in your screens).

For the sidepane acting weird you might want to try this.
[About XDA developers] roofrider:
You mean it's not like this for you? I think that's what is making it awkward for us.

The sidepane acts weird when viewing 'first new post' or 'last post' of a thread, ie when the url contains:

.php?p="postno"#post"postno"

if there is no #post"postno" it's fine.
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
Nope, no blank square for me. Never.

Have you tried clearing the cache?
[About XDA developers] roofrider:
Lucky you. Yea, that doesn't seem to fix it.
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
Not native, but just in case you didn't notice it, there's this.

I just noticed I don't see ads using my RC ad-free theme (even with adblock disabled, which is why I didn't see it earlier). I'm guessing you're using an adblocker, because that area is normally reserved for ads.
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
Click the link I posted, check the screenshots. :)

EDIT: Sorry, didn't notice I swapped your quotes. The bottom one was meant for you, fixed.
[About XDA developers] roofrider:
Damn! Nice catch, too bad it doesn't shift to the left when there is no ad present. Still, it's an awkward design. If only the page numbers were at the right end.
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
This might work:

.tborder td[width="300px"]{display:none!important;}

Get Stylish, create a new userstyle for xda-developers.com and add that.
[About XDA developers] A_U:
since XDA already has got "most popular thread and device lists" on its portal page, why not introduce a hash tag feature in XDA similar to twitter ?

when people hash tag their favorite rom, kernel, developer or a feature like pie or halo etc, that "most trending" hash tag's should shown on XDA main portal page..

it'll be fun in my opinion :)

and the number of "most trending hash tag's" displayed in portal page should be around 10, coz XDA is too crowded with such cool stuff, it wont be fair to just display 5 or less tag's in my opinion..

#XDA ;)

[About XDA developers] roofrider:
Thank you very much, that did it. Also thanks for the stickynav fix.

I also got the page numbers to the right but it took me forever because my CSS is very...very rusty.

table.threadlistControls_left{float:right;}

This correct or can it be more refined?

I don't know if it's possible to move the "Page 78 of 78" to the left of the pagenav buttons like it is at the top but that's fine. :)

[About XDA developers] Red Devil:
This just crossed my mind..

How about the ability for mods to merge two similar threads instead of closing one thread and redirecting the earlier thread OP / replies to the new one.. this may ensure that some discussion is not lost.

Not sure how it can be implemented though.

Just a thought.

[About XDA developers] raulongo:
First of all, thank you for such great forum you have here. I'm a new Android user with a brand new HTC One (M7) in my hands coming from an iPhone 4S (Jailbroken). I never imagined I will switch to an Android device but I did and for sure I'm not coming back to Apple. Despite being a "new" Android user, I'm pretty advanced in mobile technology and I understand and read a lot before even registering this forum. I have flashed several times my dearest One, searched the forums for solutions that people had in the past (So I don't have to post them again). But my surprise is that as I don't have 10 posts, I cannot post in Dev forums to give feedback nor congratulate the hard workers behind the ROMs.

My request (and this has been done in several forums) is to make some kind of questionnaire for the "new" users so they can post straight to the forums that matters. Now I have to "spam" ten posts for the sake of posting there. I know this is a measure to avoid Spam or Bots, but for a user who wants to ask some questions, a bit annoying.

Again. Thank you very much for this forum. What a great place!!
[About XDA developers] boborone:
You hit it on the nail in your last paragraph. Its a measure to PREVENT questions from being posted Dev area. Not spam bots. As you say you search and read before posting, please reread the first post of this thread and you will get your answers about the 10post rule.
[About XDA developers] roofrider:

Questionnaire has already been discussed there i think.
[About XDA developers] NotATreoFan:
We used to do this in the past, but due to vB merging posts based strictly by time, merging threads together tend to create a mess of replies. Especially when people respond to someone without quoting them.

Regarding Xperia Arc's description.

Currently, there is written

I own a Xperia Arc S (Xperia Arc and Arc S are more or less the same phone, the only difference lies in different CPU frequency) and on Android 2.3.4, long-pressing Menu button brings up the keyboard, not the search. On Android 4.0.3 and 4.0.4, nothing happens when menu is long-pressed (or at least I have not noticed anything like that).

It's not specifically an "error", it's just bad coding.

I'd rather it generates eleventy billion spam posts here if it cuts out just ten or so in the development section.

Just for some perspective, we have around 1500 new registrations a day and perhaps 2 or 3 (at most) complaints about that rule per day. Any idea how much irrelevant crap that keeps from development focused threads? I'll give you a clue, lots.

Sure the threads are still unfortunately subject to useless posts from members who should know better, nobody's saying it's a perfect solution. It is however the best one available to us atm.

[About XDA developers] Whyzor:
2 major issues that has bugged me for a while and I'm finally going to write about it:

1. The daily thread email subscription has been broken for a while. I used to get daily digest of subscribed threads by email, now only instant email when someone replies with quotes to me, but no digest. (I do check my yahoo spam folders and it's not in there either)

2. Can the website be tweaked to work without horizontal scrolling if my web browser is less than 1280 pixels? I like to have about 1024 or so and can't see the left column (user posting info) & content of the post when viewing threads. I don't like to go full screen on larger monitors, and on some smaller screens have vertical taskbars that take up some pixels, so the width of the browser can't be that wide. Most websites have a smaller minimum width requirement.
[About XDA developers] gareth_p:
New member post restrictions

Hello, I made my account on here ages ago, but never posted anything because of the restrictions that new members have for posting.

The only thing I have any interest in, are development related topics, and yet I can't post in there until I've made 10 posts in other forum sections.

While I do agree that those forums should be restricted, I also have had to spend ages searching through those forums to filter out all the nonsense from existing members who post repeated and useless information or questions.

For instance, right now all I want to post is a question in the Sprint SPH-L720 forum, asking if anyone could show a list speed comparisons stats of the cm10.1 rom that is still in development. Instead all that forum has, is a barrage of people asking the same question that has been asked several times in the same forum.

It would be nice if there was a less restrictive method of new user post limitations. Such as if I posted something as a "new" member, there were a vote down my post by the other members. So if it received too high a percentage of vote downs ( maybe even allow vote ups ), then that user would THEN be put into the penalty box, and have to spend time learning what to say in the general forums.

Anyways, that's my two cents, thanks :)
[About XDA developers] mnishamk:
Just a suggestion, but could you also say this in the alternative to 10 post rule thread.

I was meaning that recognised gamer who give solutions for gaming in there smartphones :p

not there will be 2 titles only one it would be senior member or recognised gamer

And not eveyone will get this title there should certain process for getting this title :thumbup:

I don't know what you mean by "editing site", surely our RTs donot do that.

Seeing threads get elevated because of a new post, it'd be nice to be able to flag if you think your new post to the thread is constructive/a solution or just a comment.

Constructive flags would elevate the thread while comments would have no effect. I know this relies on users, but I think it could improve things a little and may not require closing so many threads...

Just a thought.
[About XDA developers] garyd9:
It's kind of far-fetched, and only addresses one of the many issues, but perhaps if a user with <20 posts clicks any of the 'reply' type buttons in a thread, they have to confirm that they've searched first (and that they understand that Bad Things might happen to them if it's obvious they didn't.)

[ ] Please confirm that you've searched for whatever you are about to post, that it doesn't exist and/or doesn't apply. You understand that if it's obvious you haven't searched first, you will be downgraded to using a flip phone for 30 days.

----

Another thought (and this is kind of me thinking out loud at the moment) is to have some kind of hidden counter on a user that moderators can increment (by one.) When a mod see's a useful post from a new user, they can "+1" that counter. This, perhaps, might give some insight as to the usefulness of a user's posts. Normal users (including RD/RC/etc) would NOT be able to access this counter (only mods.) The idea (which isn't developed in my head) would be some kind of way that a moderator could bias the usefulness of a user. Then maybe have a sliding scale for users to access the dev forums. 5 useful posts are surely better than 20 useless ones. (I, obviously, haven't thought this one through.)

----

For the user who REALLY has a desperate need to reply to a dev thread before posting 10 useless spam messages, I'd really like to see some way that they can submit a message for consideration. Perhaps a group of RC's might be willing to help screen those messages. They might not know the specifics of a given device/firmware/kernel/etc, but they'd at least be able to recognize most of the useless stuff.
