I'm saddened no-one has started a section for the Andypad or Andypad Pro.

I use the XDA app on my Incredible way more than I actually come online these days, which recently imposed a problem for me.
I never knew this Incredible Q&A sub-forum existed. I ended up getting flamed in the Incredible General sub-forum for posting all of my questions in there. When I click HTC Droid Incredible in the Forums (XDA app) all that comes up is General, Development, Accessories, and Themes and Apps.
Is this Q&A sub-forum new?
What is actually supposed to be posted in the General topics forum? Looks like all random questions to me, that's why I've always posted mine there.
Sorry, I know this isn't actually about the Incredible itself and please don't flame if this doesn't belong in this sub-forum. I'm just trying to keep the peace with the rest of the contributors in here. Thanks
The Q&A sub-forum is a new feature as of the last 24-hours as I did not see it yesterday when checking or any time before that. Some people flame because they see the same questions being asked a lot. That is not a valid reason to flame someone, but if you are running into an issue or have a question about something, it's likely someone else has as well =p.
A stick quote from a mod at the top of this thread, describing the difference between it and "General" would be helpful, but I am going to guess that the Q&A is for exactly that and General would almost be where you go when you have something to say about the phone that doesn't fit any place else (i.e., if Verizon announced a release date for an OTA, that should probably go under "General"). I hope I was able to help.
P.S. - Also if you feel you are being unfairly flamed in any way, don't be hesitate to flag the flamer's post so the mods can take a look at it. Not something to be abused, however if mods notice a pattern of a specific user making a lot of heated comments, they are more likely to be temp-banned sooner than if not flagged.
As the title states, all questions posted in this section will be deleted without notice. Development is not tech support, and it is certainly not Q&A. We have a dedicated Q&A forum specifically for those needs. This issue has become such a problem here that it occasionally becomes hard to find actual development work in this sub-forum. Additionally, more than two thirds of my reported posts are questions erroneously posted in this section.
Repeat offenders will be given infractions and/or time off from the XDA community.
My goal with this is not to be a jerk, but rather to keep the boards clean.
Hello all,
I came to this forum because I purchased a surface tablet and want to share my experience with other people about this device. However, it's quick for me to realize that the surface section is under windows 8 development and hacking, which new users cannot post in unless he got over 10 posts. For any other device, there is usually a dedicated forum with general, Q&A, development and hacking sections. This allows new users to post in general and Q&A. For example, the nexus 10 which is also a tablet has it owns dedicated forum. So why do we have this biased treatment to the surface tablet?
Thank you.
I would add this request under the device request section. Actual development for the Surface (as a tablet device, not for Windows 8 RT applications in general) hasn't really picked up all that much which is why it is in a sub-forum. If/when it picks up, we'll be sure to add a forum.
I'm somewhat frustrated by this too. I'd like to add to discussions in the surface subforum, but I'm still a noob here. I don't have pedantic questions to ask, so I can't rev my post count in meaningless ways in other forums.
Perhaps someone could drop the minimum post count in that forum?
Why is it that Q&A is listed first? Also how come it doesn't say "Discussion,Blank,Blank." instead of "Guides,News, oh and discussions! we can't forget discussions"
Browsing the Galaxy S7 forum it felt like the Q&A section is the new General discussions sub.
I feel like there should be a poll on this. Am i the only one who thinks so?
We changed these only recently. The forum owners made this decision in order to simplify things, as well as ensure the Q&A forum is listed first, as that's where most activity takes place.
A lot of thought went into it, and it won't be changed again soon I'm afraid. To be honest, we've never had any other complaint or issue with it.
Why did it feel like the Q&A forum is the new discussion forum? I'm curious why you say this.
Just wondering, what happened to the original development structure? I've noticed newer devices do not have them anymore.
I was searching for the announcement about it, but couldn't find it.
Yep, there is one section now for development. The new format was a creation of the Admin here and has been around a few months and applied to all new sections since it was began.
I don't think there was a formal announcement, that I recall or can find, but don't quote me.
So no, there is no more Original development section, just one section for all. :good:
