Wiki Vandalism

Hi All,
There has recently been a "session" of vandalism on the wiki, here is a short guide on what you can do to help:
1. Tell someone who cares
a.Mention on my talk page on the wiki, or contact a wiki admin (I'm the only one whose really active at the moment.)
b.Reply to this thread and post the details (I am subscribed to it) but if I'm unavailable then you can click the Report Post button (
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
) to notify all forum moderators / administrators immediately to the problem.
2. It's a wiki, you can help out too
By clicking on Recent Changes in the wiki you can see all the changes that have occured over the past few days.
Click on Diff next to the Edit that caused the vandalism.
Ensure the changes you want to revert are shown in the diff and that no valid information will be lost.
If so, click on Undo (found above the right hand pane of the "diff" view).
Again, confirm the Undo will not remove anything bad.
Click save page.
If a page needs deleting, put a Delete Tag on it.
Any problems please feel free to ask me, here, via PM or on the wiki.
Thanks
Dave

Thanks Dave. I've encountered such "vandalism" on this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Developing a graphics driver for Windows Mobile
As you can see from the history, a user called "ramair" completely erased the contents of the page, on November 3rd, 2009.
I've restored the page to it's original glory.

Thanks for the tip.
I cannot see any malicious intent in the user doing this, so I think it's best to let it slide. Accidents can happen, I know someone binned the HomePage the other day by mistake .

Perhaps the option of everybody can edit should be controlled, just as to post in marketplace member will need certain number of posts or time being an active member to edit Wiki

Wiki's are meant for everyone, anyone can help, even if it's just changing a spelling or fixing a link. And just as anyone can break then, anyone can fix them.

Wasn't sure whether or not to just delete the page (I have no idea who, or what, Monban is) so I thought I would post it here. Linky

Previous threads preview when creating new threads

Hello there!
I have a small suggestion to help minimize duplicate threads.
This is especially prevalent in the HD2 forum where every day people make new threads about Android on HD2 (which, I am guilty of doing too...my apologies )
So, on some other vBulletin boards in which I am a member, they have a great feature.
When someone is creating a new thread and puts in the thread title, the board displays previous threads that have similar titles. I really think it is necessary to have that functionality in here too.
Just my 2c
Thanks for reading!

It's one I have suggested a few times before, but I am not sure what vB mod it is.
Any ideas?

Is this it?
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?257841-Related-Posts-Show-When-Creating-New-Thread

Thanks, I'll stick on the admin's list and see what he says

thanks for reading

I hope the admins can realize this, it would be a great feature.

+1 on this

So I looked into this and turned on a plugin that shows related threads at the bottom of each thread page. Two problems with it: 1. It's not that useful 2. It affects sever performance.
If anyone knows of a plugin that will search as you type a new thread title in, that would be great.

Don't know about the real time search (I am not an admin so I don't know the first thing about vBulliten) but here is the screen shot of an example of what I was talking about from the avsforum board in the first post and the relevant plug in:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and here is the page for the plug in:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=151714
I understand that this plug in is heavy on the server. As such, is it possible to turn it on just for some high activity sub forums?

Enjoy what? There's nothing to download!!

This is not development or hacking, just simple image uploading.

Hi,
Did you show the last image?
You must be blind or the pain is too much?
Regards, ansar.

Please moderator remove this thread.
It is SPAM! with stupid System Information on last picture.
Nothing to download and not related to WP7 at all.

Hi,
Moderators remove the thread.
This is my last post to the thread, too many chicken around.
Regards, ansar.

and please Banned this user - ansar.ath.gr as well.

Hi,
Last exception to reply.
Moderators you can ban me anytime.
But none can ban my endless, sleepless nights to development.
By the way, please be informed all, for historical reasons, with the following:
1. The original thread started with the images showing also a part of my work to the road to WP7.
2 . Then i added some posts (reserved) for future reporting on my work to WP7.
What at the hell is all this?
Regards, ansar.

Dear can u plz say what is last pic? windows mobile 7 ? ce 7?

I have concluded that this is not development at all. . .Please, if you have something to contribute please post something that actually relates to the subject. IE, WP7, not just some screen shots with the system information changed.
Any further infractions will result in a ban.

How do I remove S-Finder and Quick connect?

Answered

They won't delete it. You might as well think of another question and retitle this post so at least it won't be a total waste of space and people's time. LOL

so. why not have the answer? can you not remove it? takes up my notification area and i dont use it. ive searched and cannot find an answer!

If you have wanam installed. There's an option under notification panel to disable it. Perhaps more people should reply with useful information rather than badgering someone.

If the original question was "How do I remove S-finder and Quick connect" Then this was asked in the right section. I know the answer, but others may not. We were all "noobs" at one time or another. Forum rules 2.3.

@jimmbomb there's the answer.

The answer was was given by mybikeisblack. This is a Q and A section. I have seen plenty of people flamed for asking simple questions. This forum is for all of us to learn. Much like asking what tweezers are for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2981208
"Tweezers"?? in my NOte 4 box?? why?
Please move on from this. Who knows, the answers you help someone with may end up motivating them to become a hell of a developer, make their day, or just simply make you feel like a good person.
