I am creating this thread to submit some ideas to possible improvements to the wonderful XDA site. I do not think this belongs hidden in the hundreds of pages of posts in the "From the users to the mods and admins" thread. This is a different thread where users can design their concepts and post them up as images. Please visit that thread however for some awesome suggestions.
As I say in all my guides, suggestions are like gold to me and I just want to make my service better. All reasonable comments are welcome. Please PM me if you have any urgent problems. I am sorry if my service is uninvited. I have two extension threads
[mini guide] xda
[MINI GUIDE] XDA Features
I know it is easy, but please do not troll my thread.
Thankyou
This thread can also be used for other people to suggest and design their concept for XDA. If you cannot design it. Leave a suggestion below and I will try.
Here are my suggestions:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
An option to suggest a sticky. Many useful threads are being posted daily. Some are vital and need to be stickied. You could post it HERE or, if this button is introduced, you could hit that.
Many thank worthy things are sent by PM. The option to thank a PM itself, would be very useful.
All suggestions are more than welcome. Please hit 'thanks' if you appreciate my effort. Sorry if this is not something you wanted.
Special Thanks to:

There was a small problem regarding the closing this thread. Please refer HERE to see the story.
As for thanking PMs, whilst it'd be useful a large number of times, it would be abused by people who think they're cool by having tonnes of thanks. I agree with being able to suggest a sticky though, and perhaps even to remove a sticky if it contains outdated information.
Yup, the PM thanking would get abused pretty fast, and people would exchange PM's so they could thank each other over and over again.

This thread was closed by PG101 before due to a misunderstanding that the thread was a duplicate of 'From the users to the MODs and admins'.

Hi
My only concern is that the questions u have raised have been asked in the other thread.. so I don't want to encourage new threads for each question.
If I'm not mistaken you're request was to add thanks feature in the PM?

Hey there,
Thankyou very much for the comment. Good to see you read my post.
Just a suggestion, some people might have mistook that comment for spam trying to hit the 10. Be careful or your posts may be "cleaned" permanently from XDA.
Thanks again.
The PC site definitely needs a "Participated" tab just like the app has. It's great since we can easily see if any old threads have been posted in, etc. This would also be very helpful in the offtopic section, where people frequent the game threads and subscription to so many can be avoided. Especially iif we don't want email notifications to game threads, but we want them for dev threads

I do not use the APP because my x8 is quite slow as it is and memory is quite an issue. If it is not too much trouble, could I ask that you or someone else could post a screenshot of that feature. I will then try and make a concept image.
Also, as a note to everyone reading, this thread is designed for the concept images not just the suggestion. If you can make the image, go ahead. Or leave your suggestion and I will try to make it if it is reasonable/feasible.
Thanks
Thanks to QuantumFoam for this. Image has been blurred at author's request.
Also, after thinking about it, I believe the site already has something like this. A feature I had been using ever since I got onto XDA.
On the PC version, click on your name (Deftone) > then the statistics tab > then find all posts by Deftone (Or your name)
You can also "Find all threads by yourself" too.
If you still want me to conjure something up, just request again

Recently, with the diminishing amount of new roms and features, the hermes rom development forum started to be filled by unrelated posts. There are posts about skins, there are posts about dialers, there are posts about cleaning ports
There are already related sub-forums here for these questions. Please, only post rom development related things here. It is getting harder to track development of roms here. And moderators, please move non-development based topics to the general hermes forum.
Just a request to keep things tidy.

It could be a bit confusing to the newcomer, I could see how they would think: "Hey I have Windows Mobile version 6! This is where I should be!". Not everyone is tech savy
Even though I do see your point, maybe someone could help the mods, and notify them when a post is out of place, and the proper place it should reside.

Each main forum will have 'stickys' and that's where the first place that people tech savvy or not (if you are not willing to read then this place is not for you), raising new issues that had been covered before confuses even the new comers, there is a search function that one can use for most of the questions asked.

I agree! I have been here about 6 months now, and have read literally thousands upon thousands of threads/posts, and I'm just now posting a bit (this post should be about #20). Tons of great information, I love it, but I am an operating system junkie.
I was just trying to point out, that in today's 'gimme now' society, I can see where people get frustrated and post away, but, I do customer service for a living, have been seeing it for a long time and getting used to reading into where people are coming from.
Too bad googling for google doesn't help!
I hear your point but have to say that questions asked here do get a lot more looks and I never felt like this specific forums traffic is too bogged to navigate thru, and nowadays it's the only one i am active in somewhat regularly
check out the "How to Ask Questions..." link in my sig... kind of old, but still relevant
Hi.
I'm a n00b and I'm getting annoyed at the irrelevant posts in this forum!
Mods, let's clear out the irrelevant stuff and keep to what this forum is about, WM6 Roms and all the cooking going on by the talented chefs out there!
Search. Search again and if you don't find then post in the relevant forum!
my 2p worth!
I understand this, and I totally agree.
But I have tried using the search option, and it just resets the search fields, it never searches for anything. Only sometimes the search function work.
Instead of using the xda-developers search engine, I have to reside google to find on xda-developers instead, that always works, but I would prefer to use XDA's one, as it had the posts, date, author, topics, everything more detailed, and when it has worked, I have gotten the answers I need.
The "thank you" system currently seems to be unbalanced. The problem is, users who make up cool stuff that isn't actually tested are getting voted quickly (without question), because many of them act as though they were properly tested in the past (but haven't). There is no means to revoke such "thanks", and users who repeatedly make up crap, are receiving numerous thanks. It's also quite easy to accidentally click the thanks button (as no confirmation is required). At the very least, we SHOULD be able to revoke "thanks". That way if someone is thanked, but are later proved to be making stuff up, at least users can revoke their thanks.
Ideally, we need an indicator that CAN become negative. Because there are currently quite a few users out there posting complete crap, which newbies will thank them for (because some of them are speaking with such authority, and claiming "that they proved it earlier", that they get praised for nothing.
If information accuracy is important on XDA, this needs fixing. At least a way to request citation, or references to claims being made would be nice.
+1
I've on many occasions pressed the "Thanks" button by mistake when I meant to press the quote button.
We need a thanks mod installed that can also revoke given thanks aswell as a confirmation.
i think a confirmation, when thanking someone is a good idea, but not revoking thanks, this could be used as a form of bullying or harrasment.

it's happened on other message boards who allowed Thanks/UN-thanks. Someone will say something that rubs someone wrong and then that other person will unthank every post until it's a large negative number giving the illusion that they shouldn't be heard.
I use the thanks button as an anti-clutter device in threads at times. I'll give thanks on posts that I agree with so I don't give a redundant and uninformative post with a quote and +1. Just clutters things up IMO.
Perhaps just change the name to "I like this" or something.

Because he's been on the internet for more than 1 hour. un-thanks, as he has said, could indeed cause some serious problems.
But I do agree that that Thanks button is easy to hit. This has been brought to the attention of the people upstairs and they are trying to work out a solution.
Yep. You can use the old XDA style if you want to try and avoid it.
I had to block the thanks button via my adblocker, as it is right were I am used to seeing the edit button on each post, so it's too easy to tap when going to edit something.
We do need a nice way though to vote posts as unproven.. Not sure about other forums, but there are a huge percentage of posts on i9000 which are total bs being presented as fact, our untested.. It's ruining the quality if xda and mods aren't reacting, or requiring they prove there claims. There are even known repeat offenders Who seem to like all the thanks they are getting. Harassment can be stopped by limiting it to 2 thanks/fiction credits per user. That also stops gangs of purple teaming up and boosting each others stats to make themselves seem more credible

The trouble with this is that the vast majority of what is posted here isn't proven to what I would define as proven in an academic context.
Little of what is done here is tbh, but if there is people making BS claims, let us know. I've not seen any reports about this that I can remember of, so please remember to use the report button if you see anything, as often we miss things, given the sheer size of XDA

This seems like an insane solution.
I agree that there shouldn't be an unthanks button in the sense that you can make the post seem negative - but what about the ability to remove thanks?
I have wanted to quote posts and hit 'Thanks' by accident on several occasions, thanking posts that really don't deserve to be thanked. Other forums that have the thanks button allow you to "remove" your thanks - in case you changed your mind, or thanked the post by accident.
I like the concept of thanking posts, it just seems poorly implemented on xda-devs - growing pains I'm sure, I just hope that it keeps evolving - the current system IMHO is broken.
...Thanks!

I did a few because of the stuff DamianGTO was saying, and yet, nothing ever changed. You need to make it part of the rules, that posts might be deleted if they are presented as factual nature, yet are unproven, and the poster REFUSES to change it to present it as opinion.

Hmm... I can only see one reported post by you, for a duplicated thread...
Regarding presenting stuff as fact, feel free to drop me a PM or send a report for any examples (send a PM as well so I can check it arrives properly).
If people are misleading other members, that is an infractable offence which can ultimately lead to banning
Ok, maybe it is just me or maybe there are others out there....
The layout of 2012 devices would be nice if it was just a grouping of apps and themes that were universal between the devices. it really is disgusting to log in one day and find my device mixed in with the others.
this is not very handy or useful when trying to track down something that is made just for my device.
this is a very sloppy structure and i would figure that anyone or group in their right mind, would make this observation and banish this layout. I dont care if my device and four others are 2012 devices. if i cant use all the roms, themes, apps, kernels, basebands, and every other known thing from other devices on mine... it should not share the same space. i would think that after a month of looking at this, that a moderator and other members would have thrown in their two cents and said this is just ridiculous.
the structure of this needs to be redone so that anything universal is shared in a " Xperia 2012" forum and the rest of general/development/themes/and q&a are put with their respective devices and in their own forum. get behind me people and make it easier for you and other users to navigate and find what they are looking for. lets get this organized, this looks like crap!

This type of attitude will not be tolerated.
Given the that PiLoT is retired senior moderator he may just know more about how xda makes its decisions regarding forums and layouts. He was never rude or belligerent in his comment. Show some respect.

considering there are a ton of these threads, yes really.
instead of being a lazy person, go to the ubuntu touch section of the forums. thank you for wasting time by posting another useless thread.
It seems there's a lot of people on here with not much to do but post negative replies to questions. For your information I did do a search for the TORO Ubuntu call issue and didn't find anything. Instead filling this post with your opinions point me in the right direction. Not everyone has been here as long as you have, some people need help.
If you have a link to this issue then post it. You say there's s ton of post for this issue, right?
Damn guy we told you there is an ubuntu subforum, why are you still *****ing at us? It took me one google search and less than a minute to find the link. Here it is, now gtfo.

I know about the Ubuntu forum, but I was under ten post so I can't post in there yet. The admin told me to post any questions here. There's nothing in the Ubuntu section that talks about the Toro call issue.
What a bunch of little girls!!!

So angry.....someone needs a hug.:crying:
Like I said, I couldn't post there because I was under ten post. Why does this make people so mad. Its a gnex question in a gnex forum. Is strictly for Android? If so....Im sorry for posting in your forum sir....
Man back off OP guys, *****ing about how he didn't follow procedures doesn't help the situation. Don't feed the troll, you gave him more food than a fat guy orders at McDonalds.
In addition to the link, Canonical hints through documentation on their site that CDMA and LTE will be supported on their end eventually... They also want this to be a community effort more or less so not sure if anyone will even bother with CDMA and LTE, it's easier to wait for them to throw something out.
People have said that using some blobs from CyanogenMod for the Verizon GalNex could get the radio in full working order, yet no one to my knowledge (other than me) is really working on that. I'm working on it, but I'm a noob when it comes to ROM development and such, so don't expect much from me.
Hope I helped lol
Thread closed. OP don't be lazy, XDA is not a spoon feeding site, please use a search engine or XDA's own search function.
The thing I hate about forums is that when a topic is posted, it stays on track for the first few pages, but when you get to the 157th page, there's a conversation where one guy is wondering "Should I replace the ball joints on my Subaru?"
XDA is pretty good about moderating topics, but searching through pages and pages of text, hoping to find your answer that may or may not be in English, or have enough proper grammar to be sure you're not about to perform outta step with a certain procedure....It's daunting.
To me, the "Forum" needs to be brought outta the '70s when it was just a community bulletin board, and into the 21st century.
I have a proposition. A proposition to XDADevelopers. An idea. An idea that this forum could do that would put this forum on the forefront of other forums. An idea that, if implemented, other forums would look at this forum and want to do it the way XDADevelopers is doing it. A Forum is not just a website for discussion. It is literally a resource for people looking for information.
Proposition 1: Spelling and Grammar
If your gonna post in english, then you shud atleast make it readable. To put it properly: "If you're gonna post in English, the you should, at the very least, make your post readable". Too often, a six year old will post on how he was able to root his/her Galaxy Note II, and his/her instructions will read: "Just flash zip, the bot recover, then root, then turn off, done!" No one but that six year old can follow these instructions.
This site is a community of people who want to take control of the content on their phones, and make their phone as unique as the person who uses it. But, if everyone followed this six year old's instructions, we'd have a world full o' bricked phones.
Now, I realise that some of those who post are not six, but are adults from another country that are not used to typing proper English grammar. All, I would say to those people in that respect is that you may write in your post that you are not be responsible for any problems incurred in the risky business of tampering with a phone's operating system, but you could at least make the instructions clear enough that those who attempt to perform the same actions that you depict in your post will achieve the same result.
One idea on this is that if someone wants to post in English, and they know another forum member that has a better grasp on English, then that someone could PM that other member to help proofread the post before it is posted. That may seem like a big waste of time, but it would make this community more of a community when everyone is helping each other to help everyone else who will read this post.
Proposition 2: Front Page Updates and Editing
I have seen this being done on some forums (including this forum), but it doesn't appear to be mandatory. How would it be if it was mandatory?
A topic is posted. A procedure on rooting a device, let's say. The discussion gets going, and a few pages in, someone discovers an error in the post. The author makes a respective change. That's pretty much elementary.
Let's say, further into the discussion, someone encounters difficulty with a step in the procedure because one or more person's phone are different. The discussion continues until that difference is settled out. The front page should be edited to reflect this problem. Yes, every problem! But, in a structured way. An index on the front page. Structured in this way (or another): At the bottom of the front page, and index would appear:
Index
23 Jan 2016 If you have [this model phone], you may encounter [this condition]. Use [this procedure] to correct the condition.
The discussion of this condition starts here:
forum.xda-developers.com/blah/blah/balh and key notes on the conclusion can be found "here" and "here"
...and several similar entries afterwards. This kinda thing makes the forum post front page a searchable, informative page, with more to offer anyone who visits, and will benefit anyone. From the inexperienced, to the consummate professional.
Proposition 3: Multi-Threaded Threads for multiple discussions in a single post.
Too often, we'll read a thread, and someone will ask "I got [this model phone], and I'm having [this problem]", and we'll recognise this as the problem we are having too. But, when we go looking for a response to this reply, we sometimes have to go four, five, six pages (not replies, Pages!) forward to find a response. What's worse is that sometimes the response is "Go home, Newbie!". That help no one.
When I look through a list of topics for my model phone or condition, I shy away from posts that have more than 20 pages of replies. If each of those pages was a searchable thread from the original discussion, it may not be as daunting a task to search through the post to find the information I am looking for.
These are the only three ideas I can think of. If I think or more, I would probably update this page!

Ok. Serious reply. :good:
Spelling and grammar. Members here are from all over the world, and have to post in English. Many of them are at Google translate or something similar's mercy. So, tolerance my friend. If you find something too hard to understand, you can always just move on and ignore it.
Front page edits and updates. Those are entirely up to the opening poster of the thread. They can update if they wish, but it's their choice. They would never be forced to by XDA staff or automation of some sort. And any means of enforcing your ideas here would be impossible on a site this massive.
And your last point, there is a search thread function. It's a mystery to many, but it exists and works. Honest!
But thank you for the suggestions. :highfive:

I think that depends on the day and if you say the proper magic words to get it to work correctly.
I actually like the idea (assuming I understood from the long story) of having a link forward to replies of a post. There are link backs; it would be cool if your post got a link forward to this one.

Wow.
XDA is THE leading forum for Android development and hacking and has been for many years. Nothing needs to be done to make it the best, because it IS the best.
Nothing is perfect of course, but improvements are ongoing even though we may feel they can be slow sometimes.
'Nuff said.
