Like button instead of thanks...

I think there should be a linke button instead of thanks in this forum, since i don't want to spam the forums with something like '+1' on every post and button 'thanks' just woudn't make any sense...

you want to turn XDA to Facebook ? rofl

Yeah, WTH indeed.
What I really would like - a "NO THANKS" (or maybe "FAIL" ) button for off-topic crap, that Indian pidgin l33t speak, "yeah I cannot be bothered with search" junk etc.

i think we need a like button, it's more useful and popular than RATE THIS THREAD, but the thank button should not be removed, they are different functions

We plan to roll out a Like button this summer.

Blah, more FB invasion. Kindly make a profile setting to disable useless clutter, thanks.

Not a bad idea. We could have an option to hide tweet, fb.

Would be highly welcome. I do not have an account on FB, TW, Linked-In or whatever similar *beep*, nor do I plan to have one. Waiting patiently till this .com bubble v2 finally burst.

Just to let you know, the "like" button is different in other languages. It might match in english, but e.g. in german it's cut off. could you make that field flexible and let it auto-adjust to the button?
not that I want to use that button, but it looks really ugly to have that cut off button up there. take a look at the screenshot from xda and the one from imdb what the button should look like.
as I said, it's just a little ugly to have to half of a button up there!

I hope a +1 (google plus) button will come eventually, I find it more elegant and suitable than facebook's like

I hope this forum will start focusing on important issues instead of implementing totally unneeded "functionality" like +1, Like button etc.
For starters:
- get some working moderation in place and clean up the development sections;
- uncripple the post reporting functionality once the above is done
- fix tje search to prevent further useless noise flood
Have a nice day.

[SOLVED] Facebook "Like" button leads to horrendous pageload slowdown

Not sure if anyone else is running into this, but lately any thread I open on XDA is PAINFULLY slow. Scrolling is unresponsive for a long time. In my status bar in Chrome it says that the site is waiting on www.facebook.com to load..
Loading individual forums seems to work just fine. It's only threads that this happens in.
Is anyone else running into this? What is going on here??
EDIT: When the hell was the Facebook Like button introduced? I blocked the widget via the WidgetBlock Chrome Extension and now speed is back to normal.
Horribly poor implementation, I can't possibly be the only one who experienced this.

+1 10charr

not sure. Becoming more happy I joined with the old style forum that doesn't have thank or like buttons...

thanks for the link, solved my issues
I was coming to this forum to complain
fixed my slowdown issues with androidcentral as well

I just noticed the "Like" button myself. Thank for the link to remove it.
Are we going to be seeing +1 buttons shortly as well?

If +1 buttons come to XDA, don't worry, because that Chrome extension I posted was already updated to block that too

I was having the same issue and have removed the while <li> that contained the button with AdBlock in Chrome for now.
I have PM'd svetius with a link to this thread.

how to add favourites XDA android app

Hi guys I'm still quite new to the forums and have just purchased the XDA premium app for android but I cant seem to find how to favourite a thread so it will show in the favourites tab. all helps appreciated thanks!

It's cool man - find the topic you like, press and hold on it then choose subscribe. It'll then show up under favorites. I believe you have to from the list of topics though, not while you're actually viewing it. Hope this helps!

That is quiet not user friendly, since we have "subscribe" to receive email notifications for new replies...
Talking about confusing, eh?

yes, poorly implemented.
With such a large forum I thought favorites would be helpful to shortcut to the sub-forums I read.
subscribe to make a favorite. to me that implies I would get alerts for all new posts which I don't want. we'll see.

You can shortcut the forums you'd like.
Simply long press on it and a Create Shortcut option is the bottom option.
Also, no you won't get alerts for all new posts. The only way you get alerted for new posts, is if you subscribe to a single thread and change the option to get notified.

Hopefully this isn't too stupid of a question, but is there a search function for the app?

This needs changing to "add forum to favourites" with a heart icon instead of "subscribe." it's confusing if you don't know

Iphone music apk

The previous thread was closed by the moderator. I contacted him but he didn't answer. Though this isn't my work, i uploaded it to google docs. I hope it is reachable to everyone. If it isn't please suggest an other way. Download the attachments zip if you can see it. I repeat this has nothing to do with btunes, it has coverflow and it works pretty well though it can be more stable. Hope someone can improve it...

Well that is the part which was misunderstood. I told people to post their emails on youtube, not here. This is the way i got the apk in the first place. Stop being so offencsive and help me upload this if you can. The link works?

Why not just post some screenshots and attach the APK to the forum like everybody else?
Did you seek permission from the developer of this mystery APK before your attempts to post it? If not, that's also a rules violation.

That's why i just posted the youtube link n the first thread. Ill do it again. There is nothing mysterious about it. I din't know how to do it, i had never done it before.

Well he sent me the apk via email, its not a playstore app like aPod, it's just the JoyOS rom music app that was pulled out from the rom... the developer is basically JoyOS team..
if anybody interested ill upload mediafire link...

So now that everyting is cleared i want to tell some people to stop acting like they own the forum. We are not all developers and we don't want to be. I think the purpose of this forum is sharing information. We don't want all to mislead, take advantage of you or steal your work. Stop being so suspicious

eurgh, if I wanted an iPhone, I'd shoot myself.

You're sharing something you don't have permission to share, since you didn't even know where it came from. This is against the rules.
One of the people you're complaining about is a forum moderator.

Me too, but for three years now i ve been using android phones, i 've never seen a music player with decent graphics. Maybe Uber music but this is a clone of wp7 player too. Android lacks a player where you can browse album art smoothly without thinking you own a low end phone. This is the first time i can see my music library looking good

Disabled open in a new tab by scroll-wheel click

I don't know why but such useful browser feature doesn't really work on XDA-Developers forums. For example I see a itneresting new on the right side widget. I middle mouse button click it, but it won't open in a new tab, but instead it will open in the current tab just like I would left click it. I can give you numbers of similiar behaviours like that over the xda. That's really annoying.
Why is that happening and are you guys ever going to fix it?

Suggest you try an alternate browser.
Also try a fresh profile in case something in your current profile is the cause.

Its not working for me can you suggest me an other way ?

Does it still work correctly on other sites?
Not a Chrome user so can't really help with it.
General troubleshooting though. Try other sites. Try a clean profile.
Try other tools with the problem site.

It does work correctly on every other website. There's no "clean profile" option in chrome and I have no idea what do you mean by "other tools".
This issue happens with particular stuff, like the widget with the news on the right side of the thread view.

Are you using the new 2015 theme? I think there were one or two links on the old style which were like that, but it should be resolved now on the new style

Just middle button pressed "XDA PORTAL POSTS" news and it still opens up on the same tab. Even on 2015 / 2015 dark theme :/
I'd actually would prefer to use the old theme either way so I could use Dark XDA Stylish theme by @GermainZ as for me it looks much better. Just a presonal preference.

We had additional google analytics code on those links, my guess is that was blocking the open in new tab option. We made this change a long time ago so this must have been long-standing.
