Post URL? - About xda-developers.com

I have been a memeber in this site about 2 years. But I can not post a URL. Can this be enabled for me?

You can ask a Mod, as you only have 3 posts

Is there a certain # of posts after which it just works?

Answered via PM.

pm me the limit too. I was trying to put URLs in there too and it is quite annoying.

For RickyJune

I think this is what you were after. If you unzip it and put the folders in your main memory (windows, programs or somewhere similar) you can use them as tray apps.
If its not what you wanted the answer is i don't know
Noticed you've had ringtone troubles. try the cab
And why couldn't this be done in a PM? was it really needed to start a new thread?

Well, he does have to increase his post count.

He may be trying to increase his post count, but he had a valid point.
Johnston411 answered a question previously asked by Rickyjune. This was presumably asked in a thread or post in this forum so why wasn't the answer posted there to share with anyone reading that post?

Ah ok - have done the same myself, so appologies.
As for PM's - I don't have a problem with answering them but I normally check out who they are from - but I DO have a problem with PM's from people who ask questions they are too lazy to research awnswer to. I'll also try to find a relevant post to attach the answer to if not PM'd back.

Fair comment. Didn't think to check for a relevant post to stick it in. Will bear it in mind in the future.

The only person that can deal with this is the admin "Flar"
You can pm her. It may be that although they have no posts, they have still been loggin in. This would need to be checked.

[Q] Spam Message When Trying To Post

I'm trying to post a technical advise question in Asus Eee Pad Transformer forum but I keep getting the following message.
To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!

However I don't have any links in the message, it's just text.
I have the same problem but i resolved, i didn't remember how. Sorry.

It says it isn't a problem once you have posted 8 posts, but unless I just post meaningless posts (which I ain't going to do), by the time I post 8 times, the problem I have could very well be resolved.

Why 10 post before be able to post links ?

HI everyone,
I have found topic about 10 post before be able to post in dev fora.
but none about 10 post before be able to post links, so why a such policy ?
Don't just reply to avoid spam, we all guess that, but it could be possible to automatically monitor new user, and if the post a lot of link a modo will be alerted to check him, you could also in this automated function include banned/suspicious rule url. so like that modo will be notified before anyone trigger the alarm
Cya
Why?
Because that's how it is..
I mean is 10 post that much that you needed to open a thread for it ?

Thx but "Because that's how it is.." don't really reply to my question.
and no 10 post is not too much but when you want communicate an url at your first post (and without you post mean nothing) then yes 10 post is too much

Just get 10 posts and then post all the url's you want you said it its not too much so there is no need to make a thread for it...

As you may see that XDA is a huge site do it won't be very easy to moderate every new link new users post. Also, there is a restriction from posting in Development forum but that doesn't mean that spams are allowed in other forums. Most spambots have intentions to promote a specific site or advertisement, sometimes profane things, so as to check against it, this rule has been made. However, you are free to suggest something better of you have it in your mind

It is to prevent spammers from posting links. If you want to post it before then, you will need to post it like http: //xda-developers.com. People will figure out how to make it work.
Since you are new here, you may want to give this a read: [GUIDE] - XDA New User Guide - Getting started on XDA

Reactive checking of individual users is simply not possible on a site this size - spammers would spam to get their links visible for a few minutes. The simplest solution is to prevent users with less than 10 posts from posting external links, full stop. This puts off spammers.

How to create a 2nd post in a thread as 'standalone' not appended as an 'edit' ?

In an existing thread, I'd like to make two separate posts, using 'advanced editor', adding two separate, topical titles.
When I add the second post, immediately after the first, it gets appended to the prior post as an edit instead of posting as a new post. So it ends up under an unrelated comment, with a misleading title.
How do you force the second post to be standalone?

One way would be to ask a mod. We can add a second individual post for you

Also, this happens because you're posting fast, give it a minute or so before posting your second post.

I would also be highly interested in how that's done - beside asking a moderator. That seems a waste of their time and very tedious.
Waiting a few minutes didn't do the trick on my end.

Wait more than a few minutes then. There's a time after which a new post will be created, as opposed to appending the previous post, I can't recall the period.
But mods are happy to help with tasks like this. They only take 60 seconds.

Yep, that's what I did, also to use a different title to reflect the different topic. Title will get lost and post just added to the last one - if the time between posting is not long enough. As pointed out in my other reply, a few hours later it worked.
