HTML code in threads - About xda-developers.com

Just a quick question.
Why can't i use HTML codes in my threads/sigs ?
Or, is there any necessary requirement as such do so ?

It's a security risk. It's standard practice on every forum to prevent use of html in user submissions.

Yes, but some other users who are just 'senior members' are able to use HTML in their threads. Why this discretion?

You mean BB Code?

no, not BB.
They are using HTML syntax in their threads.

Definitely not on xda. I'm 99.999% certain they are not using html.
If you link their post, I will show you how they did it in bbcode
I think only site staff can use html, and even then we don't use it

Account Currently Disabled?

I had seen few users with "Account Currently Disabled" label which is not "banned". I am wondering if "Account Currently Disabled" is disabled by Mod/Admin or by the user himself.
.. and what is/are differences between Disabled and Banned account?
Thanks.
"Account Currently Disabled" is the same as "Banned", the admin's just updated the terminology to avoid a possible legal ramifications.
Ta,
Dave
Is there a way to find out y a guy was "Account currently disabled"ed?? But i doubt it.
Just out of curiosity....maybe a bit too much
Cos i came across one such acc who almost a year back was trolling...and getting on my nerves.
Anyway some1 banned can just create another account and enter xda again right?

No we don't share details of why someone was banned.
They can, but we have tools for checking for duplicate accounts.

Is a banned account just temporary or it is permanent?

To answer your previous question before you're edit, that "tool" is actually a vast number of different tools from many different locations and considering the amount of posts that get made the amount that remain visible for any length of time is remarkably small.
One senior mod alone wiped out 40 accounts and jeebus only knows how many threads in just one hour this weekend. What you guys actually see isn't even a tenth of it so I think we're doing pretty well considering.

Correct, a user can ask for a predefined ban of however long they like

New users cannot edit their posts because of the 5 mins restriction?

Bug or feature?
When attempting to correct a typo, I got : "To prevent spam to the forums, new users must wait five minutes between posts. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed."

No, it happens on the hour. So if you hit ten posts at 10.01, you won't be a member until 11

So I need to reach ten posts. Then, is the time limit between posts removed, or is that a separate issue?
Sorry for the silly questions.
[EDIT] I am at 19 posts, but I still have a two minute wait between posting and editing. The error message says that I need a certain number of posts. How many do I need?
I'm not sure, to be honest. That's a relatively new addition, but if I remember correctly it's 20 or 30 posts.
OK. I guess I'll keep posting and debugging other people's issues whenever I get the chance. It's strangely addictive.

Where do I find these "Terms & Conditions"?
As far as I can tell, the 30 post limit is not mentioned anywhere. That's why I came to this thread.
The 10 post limit is mentioned in one of the About XDA threads, called "Postcount limit in developmental fora".

XDA Hacked?

I have started getting phishing emails to the unique email address I supplied when I created my account here. I have seen this in the past when after SquareEnix and Garlic Jim's had their systems hacked.
I have been getting a lot of emails as well.
Is your email the same as your username?
I drink, yet you're the one in AA. :beer:
May I ask what kind of emails you are receiving? Like, what are they saying?
Also, make sure that the URL for these forums are forum.xda-developers.com. If it's different to that, it's possible you could be on a clone site, as we've seen plenty of them pop up over the time.

In my case the email was to [email protected]. So it is possible that somebody randomly guessed it but it seams unlikely.

The first email I revived using the xda login email address I provided was a phishing email saying that they were from Blizzard and that my Diablo 3 account was being investigated for fraud so I should login with the supplied links. Since I had not played Diable 3, I chose not to click the links
maybe you put your email on a thread on xda, and spammers found it??
My email is my username at Gmail. But their spam filter seems to catch everything. Why create an email just to use for xda unless you've been banned before and need another account?

While I don't know about anybody else, I for the most part utilize plus addressing. It tells me the source of SPAM and can be instantly black-holed.

Have a look here for some information regarding plus addressing with Gmail along with using dots in the username part of the address. Regardless of the method used, you can create a filter to auto-delete the specific offending address if its compromised; and, you know the where it was obtained if you use one or both of the methods to register a different e-mail at each Web site.

Worked fine for me when I just checked your profile and history and posts. It may have been a temporary issue.
I don't believe XDA has been hacked. I think it is more likely that a few people accidentally posted their email address in the clear and a screen scraper bot picked them up, or maybe they didn't realize their email contact info was shared through their profile.

Would you know how to link a process from an app to a button to cause an event?
I.e.
User clicks 'turn phone screenvoff after MMS is sent?'
Yes=turn off after message is sent

When the MMS is sent, the phone turns the screen off. How hard is that to do?

Well, actually i don't know how to implement it because i don't know so much the android sdk nor its source code. After the first search on google i've found a post from stack overflow and i can tell it should be pretty simple, or at least shutting down the screen. For the sending of the mms part i think you need a listener or a notifying system (probably are already present), i need another research... Ok i've found it...
Definitively not so much hard... Sorry for my poor english..

[Look for Developers]Windows Font Change APP

Hey, guys. I wanna make a Font Change APP, not the same as 'Font Style', 'DHT Font Change' and more.
It's better to be an Font Store that you can download font whatever you want or make font on your own.
I'm not good at programming, so that's why I'm here. I need to find someone that who is good at programming and also interested in.
But I don't think I can find the one. So at the same time, I'm working on this programs too.
If you want in, just leave a reply or pm me. I'll reply as soon as I can.
Some real stuff
Sorry for my bad English.
And also there is a simple batch tool helps to make font easier.

But it's all in progress, all I need is more time to finish it.

Earlier I posted a thread to change theme but only a few replied me, so I'd rather just use the Chinese forum.

It's not just for you, but yes I do unlike you. Month ago I at you at twitter twice about the translation but there is no response. You can't tell you're too busy to not reply yes or no. And I do find the source code but it's not good, I just can use about 7 lines code. So I'm on my way now.
