[Q]Who else misses "You have posted in this thread" icon ? - About xda-developers.com

I've noticed in the last few days that the envelope with arrow icon doesn't show anymore in Classic view. BTW the icon and meaning are missing from the legend at the bottom of page...
Interestingly I use the classic view because the Xda 2010 view had this behavior from its infancy, after I reported I was told the problem was solved but it worked only after viewing the thread and refreshing the page. I just tried this now but to no avail.
Can someone help me solve or understand this issue?
Thanks

This is the view I get now for threads I've posted in (in the 2010 skin), I don't know about the classic skin. That little text note icon means I've posted in the thread:
{
"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_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"
}
I subscribe, with no e-mail, to any thread I post in, that way they'll show up in my User Control Panel, I can just click to the UCP and read any updates. It's the easiest way I've found to keep good track.

Thanks for the tip reinbeau, I'll use it if managers and mods don't or can't solve this more elegantly, i.e. like it used to be (unless this is happening only on my computer)

It's not just you. I use Classic view too and have had this problem for the last few days. Hope to see a fix soon.

Informed the admin. Could be due to server issues we are facing.

Thank you for a prompt response

Can someone show me what this icon is supposed to look like?

Yep, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=263
Scroll down the page. It shows the 6 icons horizontally across the page, in the icon "list". This one referred to is the last of them.

You can see this icon only if you already are in XDA 2010 view, but if you are in XDA Classic view there's only 5 icons and the 6th is missing

I was wondering what the heck happened to that icon! Any resolution...?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was missing it. That little arrow was very useful.

Yeah, people want little arrow

Arrows are cool

Sorry guys, this slipped out of our mind perhaps. Flagged the admin again.

Mouse hover popups

I find the mouse hover preview popups quite annoying. They cover up way too much data in adjacent lines. There should be a client option to turn it off. Could someone look into this, please?

When you are in a forum such as rom development and you hover over a thread title, a preview of the thread pops up.
I think that is what he means.

Yep, Denco7, that's what I was talking about. I spent a few hours with Google looking for a way to disable it but it turns out to be a server side thing in the HTML.

Wow, that is large! Glad I've never run into that large popup...
Funny never really noticed them as have to hover over rather than scroll over to see, think the best way to get around it is just to scroll in the blank between subject & rating if they are frequent.

Yeah, I know where the safe zones are but I like to use the cursor as a place holder while I read. There is a way in the site HTML that allows the client the option to turn those obnoxious pop-ups off and I would like the webmaster to look into it. But really, who in the heck needs them in the first place?
They look like nothing more than the ALT text on the HTML links displaying the first few characters of a post. The problem looks to be the use a line breaks that cause them to run over a few lines. If you use these in somewhere like the Q&A forum it's quote handy to get an idea of a post before you click on it.
I use it all the time to try and decide if I can help before I go clicking to go in and then going back out.

Firefox and the Thanks button

I guess my html code issues were only the tip of the iceberg. XDA made some changes sometime within the past weekend that has made the Thanks button invisible to me. If I switch to IE Tab I can see it, but in my native Firefox, it is gone. I've cleared the cache, browsing history, everything, and I can't get it back. Any help would be appreciated, I can't stand Internet Exploder
Same here. I don't have the thanks button.
Firefox 3.5.16
Did this just happen to you this weekend, hav0c? I am on Firefox 3.6.13.
I'm on FF 3.6.13 and I can see the Thanks button

That's good to know - so it's got to be something going on with our own installations. I see when I switch to IE Tab that there are many ads I'm not seeing on FF (there's a reason for that - I don't do ads, I contribute) I wonder if that has anything to do with it? I use AdBlock Plus.
ETA Ha! It is there, it just isn't visible until you hover over where it should be! Veerry interesting......but stoopid (only old folks like me will recognize that quote )
For the record, the Thanks button has magically reappeared. Nothing was done on my end to make it so.
i can't see it but pointer changes to hand from arrow when i hover in the right place... had to look this thread up to find the right place!
google chrome v 9.0.597.102
mac os 10.6.6 snow leopard build 10j567
a mystery to me... although I feel a little better to see I'm not the only one - was terrified for a moment there that I was losing my mind!

No, you haven't lost your mind, and it will magically reappear at some point - no one here will explain why, though. It seems to have something to do with server load, from what I can tell.
iam on firefox 4 with windows 7 and i cant see "thanks" button either.............any progress in solution for this?
on my iPad i can see thanks button so i think it is firefox related problem ???
If you can see this image then you should see the button...

If neither of them show you the thanks button then there's something strange going on.

Looking for an icon

I'm looking for a power symbol icon (circle with half line through) that is white with no background. I've searched for it with no luck. I've found several that are white with a black background, but I don't have an app on my phone to remove the black background. (FYI, Google Image search for white power symbol yields some unusual results...lol) The icon I'd really like to use is the power-like icon on the Trickster Mod app, that shows in the status bar beside the set on boot successful notification, but I can't seem to find it in the apk after extracting it. If anybody knows where that's at, or a theme I can download with an icon like that, I'd appreciate a nudge in the right direction.... lol
I'd also be happy with an app I could download for my phone for photo editing, where I could take out a background layer of black on a suitable image, while leaving the white power symbol. The ones I've used so far seem to be just for photo editing, as far as photos you'd take with the camera, not really an actual photo editor.
Thanks for any help!!
What about this one -- directly from a Google Search. (and it has a transparent bg)
It looks invisible on the XDA site....

I probably should've included this in the op (my bad ), but I'm looking for a small icon (specifically small lines, not overall size). That's why I liked the trickster icon. Theirs isn't actually a power symbol, but it looks close. I'm trying to add it to my LMT pie, for a button that works as a screen off button, and I want small lines on it to match the nav buttons. I did do several Google image searches, but they all were large icons or thick lines or had backgrounds. I know its kinda picky, that's why I was hoping for a good pic editor app. There are several icons that will work, if I can get rid of the background.
Sorry the op wasn't more clear, and thanks for the help!
Here ya go. I made this to match the rest of the google navbar images and it got added to aokp.
good day.

You sir, are awesome. Thank you! I wasn't expecting anybody to make the icon for me but I do appreciate it. Thanks again!
Edit: I just added it to my pie and it is beautiful. lol

Device Search From Home Page (Doesn't Find HTC ONE)

So just an FYI for a mod or site developer, the home page of XDA doesn't have the same device search as you get when you click on the Forum link.
Dupe - browser > goto xda-developers.com or from any XDA page click on the PORTAL link. On the Find your Device on Forum field (top right) type in HTC ONE and notice the best you get is the HTC One X+.
Now click on Forum and type the same thing into the same field and notice you see all the variants of the HTC ONE.
I'm guessing these are pointing at two different sets of meta data for their search lookup. Just thought someone might want to know.
And now I know it's a sight issue and I'm not crazy (well i'm crazy but not like that crazy)

Yeah, M7 only has one result and it's some M700 or something phone from ages ago. Not a big deal, just thought they might want to know. I'm a software tester, so it's more habit to inform than anything

Chrome New Tab Page - Remove Elements

Does anyone know what the area below the search bar is called (the area where the link is displaying)? I'm trying to figure out which flag in the chrome://flags option to disable. I've already turned off recent bookmarks visited and recent downloads. I want all the clutter off the page. Google is crowding this page with tons of junk now. They need options in the regular settings to turn these off instead of going through the flags settings.

Well, if you mean "they need to put it in the regular settings instead of flags" then no, its not... because Google will never do that, but I used this guide and my "new" pages are 100% COMPLETELY blank- just the way I like it. Not sure what else you were looking for?
