Who to ask about closed thread?

Hi everybody,
I wonder why a thread of mine was closed in one of the forums and I really have no idea what I did wrong and even who to ask what and why? (The thread is in the ROM development section of the Topaz forum, concerning cooked ROMs that support handwriting).
Are there seperate admins for each sub-forum and if yes, how can I find them? Or who else can I ask?
thanks & cheers

Any mod will do. You may have either posted warez, links to it/them, instructions on how to get them. Or simply posted in the wrong section altogether.

Thank you for the quick reply. I understand the warez rules and all. But this question... in the ROM development section:
Is there any decent cooked ROM that either supports the official HTC handwriting update for the Topaz or even has it already integrated?

Maybe someone else asked something similar and you are getting penalized for not searching before posting. That is the only other thing that I can think of.

oh dear, if thats the reason, I'm simply to stupid for this forum I searched and poured more than 8 hours yesterday over posts, especially the ROM post, which all have well over 2000 replies. So I know that people are asking about handwriting but the question usually just goes under in the ROM threads....
Nevermind, will post it in the admin question thread where it probably belongs. Owe you a coffee though, let me fix my paypal issues first

Hi tesla33,
Which thread? I'll have a look to see if there was a "closure" reason added. It's possible it may have inadvertently been closed during Spam cleanup by a mod that had multiple browser session/tabs open.
Cheers,

Hi hilaireg,
thank you so much for looking into this. I'm feeling almost embarassed now for all the trouble but I was kinda intimidated:

More than likely it was closed because it has nothing to do with rom development. The rom development forum is not the place to ask for specific roms or features. It should have been asked in the general forum.
The Mod should have given you the courtesy of moving it for you or at the very least a short explanation. I have from day one, had a problem with the quick unexplained trigger finger of many mods on this forum. A little common courtesy would be nice.

@denco7:
Agreed. Going to "chalk" it up to an honest mistake made by the moderator who closed it (not me).
@tesla33:
I've re-opened the thread and moved it to the General section. I see no reason why the question can't be asked . The Admins are working on the Search function of late to see about improving it ... cause at the moment, I've found needles in haystacks far sooner than answers.

As far as the searching, once you are in a thread that you think may have some relevant information for you, you will see a button that reads "Search This Thread". Simply put in your search parameters and choose to get "posts" for results. This will make it a lot simpler than going through 2000+ posts.
As far as the transcriber, there are cabs out there since lots of Chefs actually leave this option out due to lack of space in the rom. Let me know if you need help finding the cab.

Thank you, thank you and thank you
Again, I'm not complaining. I was actually considering where to put it and thought "hhmm, I'm asking about custom ROMs wit a certain capability, so better put it in the ROMs sections"
I understand how incredibly difficult it is to maintain a forum of this size and activity (I was once a Diablo2 Battlenet Mod ) and I appreciate the work you all put in there. I probably wouldnt have made this thread if it was my 400th post... after a while you get a feeling for where what goes and also for the search cloud and how to find stuff. But imagine if a newbie comes in here and wants to find out if his new Topaz is an ARM or a SH3 because he/she wants to download the Total Commander Beta... (ok, well maybe this is not the forum for people who dont know what hardware they are using)
I promise I'll behave in the future
Thank you again for sorting this out for me, very much appreciated
P.S.

Understood. But with threads this big, lets assume that somebody asks in Dutty's ROM thread if it supports handwriting on page 100 something. You cant be 100% sure that if the question was answered it contains the word "handwriting" again. So you do have to read to the nect 150 pages to see if somebody actually answered the question (Nobody did, I should know)

The transcriber apps never seem to work as well as HTC own software. I did try some (calligrapher etc) but the results are less than I expected
Ok, I really shut up now

I am actually talking about the transcriber itself, not calligrapher or anything else.

Good morning,
slight misunderstanding here because: dont ask me why but HTC did not include a transcriber in the Topaz ROMs

Any news on FROYO for desire yet ?

any devs/mods here working on porting froyo to desire or not ??? if yes, we all wanna know their progress... i mean they may feel bit relaxed if they leak their success & failures step by step....
we are very curious to know & play with froyo..... kindly keep us updated about froyo development....

Have you even looked in the Desire Android Development section ?!

Are you serious!?
The devs have been releasing builds of Froyo for AGES now!
Perhaps a quick search or even a browse around the forum would have avoided this pointless thread! lol

hehe.... all i am asking is latest FRF83 build based custom ROMs.... with fully working functions including video recording at 720p & wifi N hack..all these r available ??? dont i know that i can search in dev thread & after searching there only i am asking here....
all i asked here was the news about the development stages & what devs have achieved & what they have failed.... that is interesting to know.... i am not as foolish as some people point me to look at somewhere instead of asking for froyo builds in general section....
mind you guys, pls read my heading & its content.... then u r at ur liberty to comment wisely.....

5 minutes or less reading the initial post of the FRF83 roms in the development forum would answer all of these questions
Consider this response wise

I fear many people around here can't read ---- or use a simple search button

In the good old days people helped others on forums.. now i see a lot of flamming and cant U read answers. Lets keep helping eachothet instead of replying useless answers.

To be fair there's not much help anyone could give. If he's been away from the forums for the last few weeks and hasn't seen the news on various blogs about FroYo then he's not as interested as he's made out, and his search skills are lacking. Not much anyone can do about him not being able to use Google or this sites built in search.

i'm currently using DeFrost 1.4 and it's wicked. other than the camcorder not working, it seems fine. I'm sticking with it for the moment. BUT BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL ROM!!!

The OP has already been pointed to the correct place to look by the first respondent.
In the good old days, people actually bother to read the forum rules and tried to help themselves before starting pointless threads.....

In the good old days, people weren't as *****y.
He's asking if anyone's working on a (presumably semi-functioning) ROM built from the 2.2 source, not a Nexus port.

Hey. May I ask if there is already a video player for this phone that can play 1080p or 720p videos smooothly.

I use mx player on my SGY and the only thing I can't play are divx-coded videos, altough I haven't tried viewing 720p or 1080p vids on my phone yet (I usually convert them to MP4 /MKV format first using Super).

Any fix for SMS sending/recieving failure on CM9/10 derivatives?

I wont post this in General thread coz almost all of the LU6200 specifics arent resolved there or with either poor hints.
I have tried a variety of PAC-JB/CNA/PA 4.1.x roms from develoid and all of them have one common issue i-e. not working SMS service. (even after putting the smsc# in *#*#4636#*#* menu). GSM calling works fine.
So if any of you knows a work around for this kindly come up. I am talking about the only roms I have tried with baseband 8660/9200 since its the same baseband provided with Bell_v20e rom by wflsl. Specifically SangROM's PAC and PA on develoid. It will be a day or two before I move to another phone and give up on the 10hr backup with barely a gsm support at all.
I humbly request not to move this thread to general/q&a section coz hardly any devs read threads there I might get a skim or two here in Dev catagory.
Thank You!

Sorry, but if we allowed that to happen there would be no need for separate forums. We have specific sections for specific reasons.

Nope, else you would have known that already like the volte oreo thing, so please get your thread moved atleast or deleted.
I dont know whats the point of violating the rules and manners just because you think you would get a quicker response.
I would suggest you to get some patience and respect.

Yeah because this is just simply not possible in the XDA's forum.
You need to shout out to a *Moderator* who removes or moves your thread, or you just wait until somebody reports this thread..
