To mods/forum staff : Request for username change - About xda-developers.com

Hi,
I'd like to change my username from CrazedMonk to BlueSharky, to standardize my accounts on several different forums. I searched the forums, and didn't find anything of use, except a 2008 post to contact Flar.
Could anyone help me out in this regard?
Thanks a lot.

To change your name you will need to send a PM to MikeChannon he is the forum Admin and the man with the power to do this, you can do that HERE

Wow, that was fast as it is already changed.
Lately I have changed on this suggestion and instead of PM'ing Mike, I have been offering this page: XDA Contacts & Help as it allows the requests to be categorized and also helps answers questions for other types of requests. 7th option down is "I want to change my username".

You could add how to change your username to your New User Guide, also how to get you XDA account deleted, as I am seeing alot of these threads popping up alot recently.

Yeah, I requested several posts to be inserted so I could reorganize a bit and add some new stuff. The first post in the guide is getting a bit long.

[REQ] Make polls editable

I am requesting that polls in threads should be made editable just like posts are editable. Right now I posted a thread in which I made poll to see which ROM is the most popular and I guess I forgot some roms so people gave me suggestions to place their rom in the poll, and I can't because I can't edit the poll. I also would like the poll to be editable so that I can add roms that are new or that I forgot. I would just like the poll to be editable in a way that I can add or delete options. Well, thank you for your time and for taking my request into consideration, I hope to hear from u soon.

Big +1 on that
On a side note why are you using the dream? (nice phone still)

It's a limitation of vBulletin. Even moderators have limited access to amend polls. If you need a new option, or a poll closing, that's possible, just PM a Senior Mod.
If you want a poll resetting that needs an admin. Either PM a Senior Mod and they'll add it to an Admin's TODO list, or PM mikechannon / egzthunder1 - but the admins do have quite busy workloads .
Thanks

[Q] Subscribe to posts by thread OP only?

Hi there,
Most kernels or ROMs have a high-traffic thread with lots of people sharing their experience etc.
Every once in a while, the OP chimes in with an updated version of the ROM, or a bugfix etc.
I would like to keep up to date only with posts by the OP, to keep updates down to a manageable volume. I don't want an RSS feed of all new posts in the thread, but only those by the OP.
Is there a way to get such a feed? Or another way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Thank you in advance.

There's no way to do it.
The only way that's close to seeing the OPs updates is to view the Most Thanked widget whilst on the desktop.
It highlights the posts which have received the most thanks, which is to make it easier to find the main information and updates.
I really like the idea! Would be extremely useful for a couple threads of mine.

Has been recently suggested and the_scotsman is passing on this idea to mod committee.

I've been working on creating RSS feeds of XDA threads. Your request seems like a excellent improvement on what I have at the moment.
The current implementation will generate a RSS feed of the last three pages of any XDA thread. You can see the RSS of this thread here:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=a41f01f197a7b89b1fcf6b72b3964a9a&_render=rss&t=1200001
If you're only interested in posts by the user "ezuk" you can filter the messages. To see only messages by "ezuk" or messages that quote "ezuk", add "&match=ezuk" to the URL.
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.r...6b72b3964a9a&_render=rss&t=1200001&match=ezuk
Interested? You can read more about the implementation here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975124
Wow, that's pretty cool! Any way to match only messages by "ezuk" (without ones that quote "ezuk")?

In the RSS feed, posts have the name of the author as title. So it will be no problem to distinguish posts by "ezuk" from posts from other members. Give it a try, and I think you'll see that the simple solution is probably good enough for you.
If you want to filter even more, you could use:
http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.run?_id=a41f01f197a7b89b1fcf6b72b3964a9a&_render=rss&t=1200001&match=posterName[^>]*>ezuk<
but that's not very intuitive.
Thank you, that helps!

Developer/Wannabe-Developer Q & A section/Google plus group

Taking into account the fact that the Desire section does not have a subforum within the Development section for questions on Rom/Android development, and the fact that questions within the General section are generally ignored by most developers, I thought of a thread to maintain a database of devs/senior members wanting to learn Rom development/discuss dev questions..
You can add yourself to the list by specifying in the following format:
Google plus link (as a gplus.to link, not email addresses), Dev/Wannabe-dev/Experienced user/Enduser (in your own opinion)
If the dev adds you too to his/her group, you'll be able to ask questions, and get answers related to devlopment..In addition I will be maintaining a Huddle/Hangout on the basis of this list, with live chat.. Guys, use it efficiently..No flooding please!
Mine first, gplus.to/droidzone
You can even ask questions related to development on this section, but dont expect quick answers, especially dont think that I'll always be answering either!
Thread rules:
Research your question (search google and xda) before asking.
Only questions related to actual development will be entertained.
Just because devs read this thread, if you ask silly questions already answered elsewhere, we'll permanently ignore your question
This is not for questions on issues related to a particular Rom. Ask those on the ROM's thread. If you dont have permissions to post it there, start your own Q/A thread
Developers list
The order in which names are listed is only on the basis of the order in which members have joined the group..
Droidzone gplus.to/droidzone
dan281082 gplus.to/dan281082
rootsu
Wannabe-Devs

Fine..though not being able to discuss with a lot of others does rather defeat the purpose, doesnt it? Maybe you should have another gplus profile for the dev incarnation, like I do

We have sections for a reason; it keeps things clean and organized. General topics belong in general, questions (like this) belong in Q&A, etc. I have politely reminded you at least 3 times to refrain from posting in the wrong section. Additionally, XDA is not a support site, and requires a fair amount of research and effort, if you're going to start flashing, rooting, modding. Most of your posts are question/help based in nature. If you're asking that many questions in a relatively short period of time, its because you're not doing the research.
With that said, I highly recommend that you start following the rules pertaining to posting threads. Post in the appropriate sections, make sure you read, read, then read some more, before posting your help threads.
Failure to comply with the rules will lead to infractions, and/or a ban, depending on severity.
Thread Closed.

This user has no posts

In the XDA app, I no longer can see my previous posts under my profile. It just says this user has no posts. Started about 5 days ago. Makes it very hard to follow up with people when trying to help them.

A load of people are having this same problem so it's already been mentioned to the higher-ups.
The best way to keep up with threads you post in, is to subscribe to them once you've posted in them. That way, you can just go to the subscribed section and see them all there, plus you can simply unsubscribe from them once you don't need the thread anymore.
