Am I the only one that would like to see the date of the original posts of each thread, as we sift through hundreds of threads? The latest post date is shown, why not the original? I really don't care if someone posted something today to a thread that was started a year ago!
Being able to see the date a thread was started would give us an immediate idea of the relevance of a thread. I frequent the Hermes forum, for example. The ROM cookers often title their thread: "NEW" WM6 ROM xxx.xx.xx." Six months later because some newb has just joined the forum and posted the1035th reply, the thread pops up to first place in the listings, when it is really old news.
Am I missing something, or would this be good information to have available?

Good idea...it would expidite finding relevant threads!
hi guys sorry for my bad english
this men say he is post froyo 2.2 for htc magic and some people test it and say its realy 2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685736
You know 2.2 is only available for development of apps... you KNOW this because you were told that in the other thread you posted in... so now you create a new thread?
Ugh, sometimes I wish I was a moderator. I'd abuse my powers and probably just delete this thread, but at least others wouldn't make the mistake of reading it.

Guys, Babijoee and Phhusson and the rest of the team WILL wait for Google to officially release the Froyo AOSP.
So just wait.
still waiting for the battery power sources development
When this happend in the hero section about the eclair update the active mod deleted all these stupid rumor threads about the update and made one sticky at the top of the page where everyone could discuss the latest rumours without it affecting day to day forum busness, he also made it clear that any other threads about the update would be deleted!! can we not do this here too? do we even have a mod? every other thread seems to be about it we are along way from a froyo update i think, not only do htc have to get sence workin on a whole new os, there gunna want to make a new radio, hboot and recovery just like every other update, that means were months away from the update not days like some ppl think, can we please sort this out befor the desire forum gets ruined with spam
Congratulations on starting another one.

this thread has nothing to do with froyo, its trying to get mods to clean up the desire section
i'm inclined to agree with this sentiment, we should have a discussion thread and then once its finally released we can have as many as we want

I have to agree with this. You have just opened a pointless thread to have a rant. The fact froyo is in the title, people will now use it to discuss why it's not out, and when they will have it, and whether or not it will make their washing machine spin faster.
If you feel so strongly about the threads, then use the report a post button and bring them to the mods attention.

its not a rant its an idea, and its 10 times more productive than urs and that other blokes post, fyi you cant report a post unless its spam or breaking the rules
I'm fairly sure that the rules state you should read and search before posting, all the pointless froyo threads would fall into that category.
Report away
that rule would count for half the posts on the website tho lol plus the search sucks on xda, ive spent hours searching for a thread that i knew existed lol
This is a good idea. It works well on other forums - Ubuntu forums, for instance, have a 'recurring discussions' section for each forum where similar threads are bunched together (usually *****ing about Mono, or comparing Ubuntu to OSX/Windows).
What we really need is a "Rumours" subforum, for all the b/s Froyo/Update threads!
That way, they can still be posted, but I can safely ignore them!
Regards,
Dave
Some such solution would be very welcome. Currently, it is quite pathetic.
As for the search before posting... every second/third day I'm seeing the same issues with new threads here. This is the worst I've seen on any well established forum since 1999 back in the Icrontic days. On the last such occurrence, the OP says he's searched and read countless threads while two threads below covers the same issue perfectly. This is just inane.

How stupid. If people want to start a thread, than its upto them. Post away all froyo froyo..... froyo

I totally agree about deleting all the pointless threads.
Some of them are from stupid newbies who are too lazy to even look 2 threads down let alone do an actual search!
Froyo threads should be deleted and anyone starting one until HTC makes an announcement should get a week ban.
There is already a FROYO discussion thread which is fine to discuss the OS / features etc, but not constant posts by idiots asking for release dates and what not.
I agree... i think we should stop all this speculation regarding the official OTA update of Froyo on the Desire. It has recently been confirmed that the update will be around Q3 of this year, and i think it's pointless for people to continue to post threads about it. We just have to be a little more patient and hope it will arrive in time.

I would more than welcome a stronger hand by the moderators. Failing that, a chit-chat/rumors section, but I think if people are so dumb to post this stuff 10x times, they are bound as well to post it in the wrong section (see the degree of spamming of the development section).
And NO - this thread is very useful and relevant, I would have started myself
Sorry, just tripped over this thread. Is Froyo out yet? I heard it was due to be released on the 29th Feb next year.
*runs and hides!*
Hi sort of agree, however this is the 'General' desire forum - where anything can be discussed! But yes a rumour or one thread for rumours update at the top may help.
However where do you draw the line??? look how many other threads repeat the same things!
I dont think its so bad in general section - I sort of expect it here - plus freedom of speach and no forum gestapo is nice

Moderation on this forum is poor - there are so many repetative threads that its becomming full of the same old thing day after day. Many are not adhering to the rules of the forum - search first and if you dont find your answer then ask! Carrying out searchs on this forum now means that information is spread across so many discussion threads that it becomes non effective; maybe a reason why new threads are now starting up each day asking the same question?
In order to ensure this forum is useful, comprehensive and easy to search, surely its not too much to ask?
Just a thought - i dont think i have ever seen a mod edit, apart from moving of a thread - not like the HD2 forum!

when i used to have a htc hd, the forum had two mods and they was always about, and they used to comment on threads and keep the forum clean ect, i dont think xda give a **** about the android forums
I remember reading last week that Cyanogen would possibly be coming to a number of phones, including the Desire, in the future: http://phandroid.com/2010/06/23/cyanogenmod-targeting-eight-devices-for-android-2-2/
There was no mention of dates, so I tried not to get too excited. However, a new forum has popped up on the Cyanogen mod site, so perhaps a release is not too far away?
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/forum/42-htc-desire/
Dos anyone have any more info on the subject?
I just know Cyanogen promised a release in July. Could be 1st, could be 31th
Yes, this is happening, behnaam will be maintaining it. Release should follow shortly after or even at the same time as CM for other devices.
This should be moved to General though.
There allready is a thread about this in General
Thanks for the replies.
Sorry for posting in the wrong forum, I did search this forum for cyanogen but came up with a blank... should have checked the others. I believe this is the thread you are referring too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709161
If a mod wants to move/lock/delete this thread then its fine by me
I'm making this thread so any developers or anyone with proven known personally witnessed information can be given. Instead of making 30 threads id like for this to be a thread any of the devs here can come into and comment what they know about 2.2 and what they are doing. PLEASE DO NOT POST UNLESS YOU ARE A DEV OR HAVE RELEVANT INFO.
What we know so far:
2.2 update does take away root
The update is available from htc
Ava seems to have already done substantial work with 2.2 as seen here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720682
Anything else that is proven and personally known please chime in, NO QUESTIONS.
