SPAM messages...

We removed a large number of Private Message spam messages yesterday. So if you got an e-mail announcing a PM and no PM was there when you logged in, this is ok.
Damn spammers...
EDIT MDAIIIUser
Removed the Global Announcement as the Info is now old 10/05/2006

Many thanks! Your hard work is much apreciated.
Warm regards,
Neil.

It has been a problem on a lot of forums recently, as it seems there is now code that can integrate with the board and autosend to a selection from the members list.
With XMB the latest version has code to prevent this - so i would guess there is also a version for phpBB.
If it is from a unique IP there is no harm in blocking it as a quick temporary fix.

Got this one the other day in my PM box...

Comment removed by me!

If you read his post subject, it says, "Got this one the other day in my PM box..." This implies that he is willing to notify us of this spam PM occurence.

Ah ha, please accept my sincere apologies! I was all in a bind about spam and clearly not thinking properly. Again, i retract my comments 100% and have edited out my previous post.
Regards,

German Artemis ROM cooking site

Hi guys,
I had the idea to start a dedicated site about ROM cooking with a focus on INFORMATION. I splitted the page into two areas German and English / international.
Here the links:
http://www.artemis-project.com Main site, only for language selection
http://ger.artemis.project.com German site
http://wwe.artemis.project.com English site
The German page is already running, I invite all of you German speaking guys that have experience with ROMs, hacking the registry, design and whatever is useful for ROM cooking to help us build up that site.
Our focus will be on creating tutorials and cooking ROMs. We will create tutorials with detailed information and pictures that help everyone to understand the whole process better and enable the less experienced guys to cook your own ROMs too.
For the beginning I ask only the more experienced people to participate since we will have a better start. Don't think you are not welcome but we can't explain you everything from the beginning. If you have a few years of computer experience, know how to edit the registry or are good at designing graphics then you got the skills to help us.
You'd need to work a lot on your own, try out a lot of things and document them is such a way that we all can understand it so we can talk about it afterwards to evaluate. I hope that didn't sound too professional
As I already said, this site is going to be much more about information, I don't want to split up this nice community! But we are going to be stricter on forum rules: No double posts, double questions and so on. There won't be a single thread that will have 1000 postings!
There will also be almost no request for including programs into the ROM, we want the people to be able to do that themselves. If it is an extra cool application we didn't know yet we will use it of course !
Questions and answers about a ROM will be in a FAQ as soon as they are solved. The posts from the forum will be erased and in the FAQ there will be mentioned who found the solution.
As soon as we have a good and stable ROM or some extraordinary news about a very hot topic we will share it with this comminity of course.
So if there are 10-20 German talking guys I'd be happy to work with you together on a ROM that rocks
Sebastian
PS:
The english page is there but won't be used until there really is a need for. So please don't register right now on the English page.

Outside Links

I have only been a member here for a short time; however, I have found this site to be a very useful resource. As such, I have researched further into a particular topic and have written a blog post pertaining to my discoveries. However, I don't seem to be permitted to include "outside links" in my post. How long am I considered to be a 'new member' and how am I 'verified'?

If you continue to use the site and post properly, you will be "verified." This process happens automatically once you reach a certain number of posts. We had to put this restriction in place recently because we were being inundated with spam.

hmmm
I understand.

can u pls tell me how many number of posts to be made for the verification process.

Welcome to forums
The magic number is 8
But more important than that number is that you make good use of your account

RSS-Feed/JSON per Forum

Hi All
Regarding our work at XDA Assist, I'm struggling to come with a Chrome Extension that would speed up our support effort there. For this purpose, a RSS Feed of that forum's threads would be awesome to start with but the last reference to whatever RSS source was
XDA-developers now offers RSS feeds by @Peter Poelman
Previously, we had "external.php" answering these request but no more.
EDIT: A JSON resultset would be awesometastical.
Someone has any insight into this?
Thank you very much.
Nice regards.

Check out https://api.xda-developers.com/explorer/ - this is our API which returns results in JSON.

Hi bitpushr
Thanks a lot. It is indeed awesometastical!!!
Unfortunately there is no "Report Post" operation which, regarding XDA Assist Workflow (below), is an essential feature.
[SUGGESTION] XDA Assist Contributor Workflow
It may not fit those specific requirements but it's an amazing feature !!! :good:
Again, thank you very much.
