[About XDA developers] upndwn4par:
Thank you for the reply.

To start, I am quite familiar with DevDB. I was on the pilot program, and subsequently used Dev-DB threads for about a year. I eventually got frustrated with some of the "features" and short-comings and had the threads converted back to normal.

Things I didn't like about Dev-DB:

1) No option to preview the thread before posting/updating.

2) The interface for managing screenshots was pretty awful.

3) No option to disable the "XDADevDB Information" which auto-populates the bottom of the OP.

4) The Dev-DB interface itself used while creating/editing posts was complicated and cumbersome compared to a regular thread.

I know there was more that I can't think of right now since it's been a while.

But, to be fair, I haven't used a Dev-DB thread in a while. Maybe things have improved. I will try converting one of my threads and give it second chance. Hopefully you'll be open to some more feedback. :)

REQ:

Once in a while, I feel like being helpful. For those times (and for others who want to help answer questions) it would be nice to find unanswered posts in Q&A... For that, and to contribute to my laziness, it'd be nice to have:

A simple filter for the Q&A sections of the forum for "posts with no replies." Even going into advanced search, setting a search option of "Find threads With -- At Most -- 0 -- replies" (with no other filter) doesn't seem to do what I'd like. (The search results seem to show ALL threads in that Q&A section regardless of the number of replies.)

Take care

Signatures in XDA 2015 Styles.

You know, i prefer the XDA-2013 and 2010-Styles.

But XDA-Developers always automaticly switches to XDA-2015.

[IMG="Note:"]http://xdaforums.com/images/icons/advanced/info_2.png[/IMG] I noticed, that you can't see the

signature

of the members in the XDA-2015 Style. Today is the first time i notice it.

Well, you can actuallý see it in the Porfile·Details. But

not under the Posts

.

Another thing:

You can't go to your Settings (aka Control Panel) in XDA-2010, or?

How about adding a „Most-Thanked“-tab on the XDA-2010 Style?

The XDA-2010 and Classic Style show

less Profile Statistics

(Information/Details). !

Answers to your questions in red.

XDA-Developers always automaticly switches to XDA-2015. XDA will only switch to the 2015 theme if you log out and then log back in, or if you go to the news portal. If you stay signed in at all times, your chosen theme will stay selected.

I noticed that you can't see the signature of the members in the XDA-2015 Style. This only happens when you are logged out.

Another thing:

You can't go to your Settings (aka Control Panel) in XDA-2010, or? This is most likely because XDA 2010 is a very old theme and is probably malfunctioning.

How about adding a "Most-Thanked"-tab on the XDA-2010 Style? They will not add this because the XDA people are not adding new things to the old themes.

The XDA-2010 and Classic Style show less Profile Statistics (Information/Details). Also because of the age of these old styles.
[About XDA developers] Hannah Stern:
You're soo right!

I don't like the both XDA-2015 Styles.

They are Ugly. Ugh, ...

And if i Change back to 2013/2010 (if i'm not logged in) then it automaticly goes back to 2015! I don't like it.

And also:

(For XDA 2010 and 2015) Why not include the users who thanked to this post in the HTML Code instead of Extra-Loding with POSTDATA?

If you choose a Post Icon but don't type in a Post title, then the Icon for the message only Shows up in the 2015-Styles that i don't like so much! [IMG="Example Icon"]http://xdaforums.com//images/icons/icon2.gif[/IMG]

Don't clear your browsers cookies and cache every time you exit and it will keep you logged in and always on the theme of your choice. The default view is 2015 theme now.... So if you clear your cookies every time you exit, of course it will always default to 2015.

100 Posts per Page

per Pagge

Hi every one!

Is threr a way to view 100 Posts per Page - without logging in?

For example - you can switch the styles with the style switcher or with styleid=##

Can you also do this with posts-per-page?
[About XDA developers] :
Well, first off you will want to notice that the maximum posts-per-page is actually 50, not 100 (lol), so prob'ly don't want to try that.

Being the kind Recognized Genius that I am (wink wink), I did a bit of testing with this idea, and sadly, came up empty-handed. It appears that the only place where one can change the posts-per-page is in the User Control Panel, and since you can't get to the Control Panel when logged out, you can't change the posts-per-page.

Sorry about that. :(

[About XDA developers] :
I don't know for sure if I know what you're trying to get across, but if I do, I'll try to explain the reason to you:

If I'm not mistaken, this effect is basically a side effect of BB code usage in a forum text box system. Copy/paste will only copy the text; it will ignore the line changes unless the [Enter] key was pressed at the end of the line (as opposed to the text just automatically running down to the next line).

POSTDATA on Thanker's List

Hello.

I am beefing too much about XDA - but...

...if you press [VIEW] on a post for the users who thanked the Post, then it instantly shows up in the 2013-Style but in 2010 and 2015(ugly) , it needs an extra-load by post data. Like the YouTube.com-Comments since 2013. The Comments aren't included in the HTML-Code anymore - if you scroll down, then they extraload. That is disturbing and a bad idea.

Isn't it better to include it in the HTML-Code???
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
No, using extra bandwidth when it's not needed (both for the server and the users) is not better for the large majority of users. Just because it doesn't suit your very particular needs doesn't make it "disturbing" or a "bad idea".

What you're talking about only matters if your connection is slow (in which case it still wouldn't matter much) or if you're trying to parse the data (use the API for that).

[About XDA developers] garyd9:
It's not that one thread in particular (even though I use it as an extreme example.)

How many "off topic" type threads should a given device have? The i317's general section has the usual "off topic" thread, and now has a "bacon" thread. Should there also be a "hamburger" thread? At which point does it end?

Why is there an entire section of the forums OUTSIDE of the device sections for off topic threads when people ignore that and post off topic threads INSIDE the device forums?

What criteria is used by the XDA to determine which "off topic" threads are allowed and which ones aren't? I once saw a user given an infraction for posting an xbox question in a device thread. Why is "xbox" an infraction when "bacon" is permitted? (An xbox has much more in common with a smartphone than bacon does.)

No, an off topic thread doesn't "hurt" anyone by itself (even if the bacon specific one might be offensive to some - more on that below.) The precedent of allowing it DOES hurt, however. It being specifically allowed by the moderation team tells users that rule #15 ("Keep posts/threads on-topic") isn't enforced - but then when those same users post a "hamburger" thread", they get an infraction. That hurts the credibility of the moderation team, the site administration, and XDA as a whole.

I can guarantee that if I were to go in that same device's general section and start threads for a few other food items, that the threads would be deleted and/or locked and I'd have a few infractions for my efforts.

The irony with that specific thread (and the reason I singled it out for my example) is that it's a food item that a very large percentage of the population finds offensive and is also not permitted by some religions - so not only is it an off topic thread, but it can also be considered inflammatory and discriminatory against certain religions. Yet, it still exists.
