No work was posted. The aim of the thread was a repository for FREE widgets for Chameleon Launcher.
I'm beginning to understand why so many are leaving xda, and why I don't bother with it much any more...

Yep, no reply.
I've restored it, looks like there was confusion over it being a paid app.
Xda operates to a 24 hour best effort response though. Have 24 hours or so elapsed since sending the message?
The link in the OP of the thread is for the paid version, there is a free version but that is not in the OP.

Are you referring to the launcher itself? (can't tell as it's not compatible with my device)
The op wants a thread for widgets for said launcher, not the app itself.

Thank you. However, if the mod had read the thread thoroughly, he would have seen that it was about free widgets.

Hmm, that's not really the point though, is it? If the xda moderator was doing his (admittedly difficult at some times) job properly, it wouldn't have been incorrectly closed in the first place...

Mods will sometimes make mistakes, you admit it's hard at times. Pulsar restored the thread with the quickness so no real harm done.
Not only that, it does say that threads will be moved/deleted without notice.... not saying yours should've been, just saying that the mods don't have to notify the op when moving/closing a thread.................

Ideally the mod who deleted it should PM you explaining why. We do work hard to keep everything in order, buut with 4.6Mn users and 2Mn threads, something is bound to be overlooked.. just bad luck
But as I see it has not been sorted Thread closed.

A simple search will give you the answer! I'm not doing it for you. There are two other threads in the Android App forums about this. You obviously got the hacked app from one of those threads. There was no need to start another thread about this.

No genius I won't provide a link! I'm tired of doing the work for lazy people! He obviously got the app from the other thread which is were I got it! He knows damn well were to check to see if there is a new version! There was absolutely no need for a new thread. But what would you know, your obviously just like him. To lazy to search so let me just ask even though there are two other threads. I have helped many here so why don't you do the same or just mind your own business! How many duplicate threads would you like to see on this forum. If I'm coming across like a **** then so be it! You should have just done a search for him and posted the link. That's what you wanted me to do!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Ahh, but, my friend, I have already searched. So the link is unnecessary. And just because someone hasn't posted something to an antiquated thread does not mean that there is no new information.
The rest of us will continue to ask as we see fit and within the parameters of the forum. There are multiple threads about the same topic in a lot of these forums - take the DK28 GPS fix for example. At least four active threads right now in dev. Why not go police them too?
Thanks for your help.

The comment wasn't counter productive it was informative but you wouldn't know the difference since you can't tell the difference between a question and discussion. No big deal, as a mod would move it anyway.
Also if you read the second part of my comment you'd probably find that it does answer your question exactly. The browser is probably inserting a space after the name of your download thus forcing the download to fail. So you should check to see if that applies instead acting like a drama queen...

Lol....whatever. Just sick of the e-assholes. Maybe I did over react a little, but it seemed like walord was more worried about correcting me than helping. Otherwise he wouldn't have started off with correcting me. I have close to a thousand posts under my belt and I don't know what I was thinking posting that in General....its been a long week and I'm way underslept. However, I don't need a friggin' psychology lesson from someone who can't even spell "warlord" right. I'll try harder to be more perfect.

Lol....I'm not a noob. I just posted in the wrong section. **** happens.
In hindsight I probably jumped the gun. Sorry if I offended anyone.
Over the next few days, I'm going to do a bit of tidying up in the various Defy sections.
The first part of that involves a new sticky in each section clearly stating what that section is for, what threads are or are not appropriate (ie no questions in the Dev section).
Hopefully this'll help cut down on the number of threads that need moving.
The proposed second part I would like some feedback on...
The act of stickying certain threads/guides/etc I've always found a little hit-and-miss and can inadvertently lead to unintended favouritism, not to mention you can eventually end up with a ridiculous number of threads stickied.
So the idea I had was that in the General and Dev sections (the two that currently have stickied threads), those threads would be un-stickied and replaced with a roll-up thread - kinda like this except there would be no other threads stickied along with it (other than the one mentioned in the first part that would explain the purpose of the section).
It's just a way of trying to keep the section as tidy as possible, though it's not the messiest, which is why I'm not 100% set on going ahead and would prefer to hear what people think.
A little clean up is a good idea.
I'm for a main roll-up thread in every section, that way the useful guides/infos will be easier to find/edit.

Thanks again Step666 for cleaning up the ones i reported...... +1 on the rollup thread thread it makes things a lot easier for new users as they can find everything in one thread.
support the idea fully (both), but have to ask for something: to always keep that one stickied thread up-to-date, otherwise it has no sense. and the thread you linked didnt mention the 'all-in-one defy beginners guide' which i find very useful for everybody, so i think that should be involved too. and thanks for looking after the defy section, it did get quite messy over the last few weeks, months.

Is it possible to have two xda members governing one same thread? It would be best to keep a thread up to date if two people where allowed to edit the OP. Could it be possible?

It would list all the current guides that are to be found in our Defy forums at the moment
Voted for the roll-up thread. What suggestions could we have about it? Like, which threads should be included?
I hate it when someone quotes the OP's post after 20-30 pages only to ask a question whose answer was in the previously 20-30 unread pages. Also, when someone quotes a really LONG post only to add a short answer/joke/offtopic question or a smiley and an encouragement.

Similar to the one I linked-to, with a series of links to useful guides etc - except I'd probably go a step further and include a short description of what each thread contained.
There'd be one in this section and one in the Dev section.

I agree.
And that's where I'd need your help - whilst I own a Defy my primary handset now is my Galaxy Nexus, so I'm just not as clued up on things here as the rest of you.
So whilst I'd do my best to keep it updated, if there was a thread you felt was missing from the roll-up, then you'd be best to PM me and I could add it.

Unfortunately, there's no way to force people to pay attention/follow the rules/behave like vaguely-competent individuals.
So all we can do is react to people who have posted in the wrong section.

No, unfortunately the forum software doesn't allow for that.
I guess an alternative would be to have the 'roll-up' lists in the Defy Wiki where anyone can edit them and I would just have a link to them from the one sticky in each section.

Is there such thing as receiving a notification when the first post of the thread I am subscribed to has been edited? It would be especially helpful on the developers' subforum.
It would be nice but no there is no way to get a notification when the op is edited.

No need to worry though, because usually OPs post a reply in the thread that the first post has been edited. Like "updated to 2.1 version, please check the first post".

Unfortunately, that is caused by people posting stuff in the Dev threads that shouldn't be there. If people could actually understand what the Dev threads are for and not post cr4p in there like "Thanks" or "Why doesn't this work - I haven't bothered searching".

Hello @snifing
In regards to your comment above to the Xda Moderator. You can't delete any post, but you can remove the content of that post. And from what I can see is exactly what you did here. Next time your going to make a thread with a big list of apks, please put them all in the first post for everyone to find them. Not make 17 post for all 17 apks. Makes no sense and just creates way way to much clutter! Look below at how it would look in one post...

App-1
App-2
App-3
App-4
App-5
And so...
And please have a look at the rule below.
5. Create a thread or post a message only once.
As a large forum, we don't need unnecessary clutter. You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer, revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time so it might take a while before you receive an answer.
