Signature images should be disallowed.
That, or sig image sizes need to be heavily restricted.
It has gotten really out of hand as of late and makes the forum a scroll-fest. It is unnecessary and downright frustrating when surfing via a phone or tablet.
Case and point... 2 posts. One with one word, one with a very short sentence. 2 posts take up the ENTIRE screen. Come on...

Neither image adds anything useful to either poster's content and neither image is really useful for anything else.
Even more annoying is some user's sig images eat up an entire page by themselves. When half a thread's space is eaten up with worthless sig images, it just makes the board look like a cluttered mess.
Venting over.
you are right about images being a bit large in some cases which annoys me too when i am on PC.. but you mentioned its hard to navigate in site due to this at mobile and tablet.. there are apps for mobiles and tablets for that reason.. so why use site through browser when you have app which doesnt show these signatures?
there are some images which are too large which makes it hard.. but the above 2 doesnt seems to be that big.. but nice suggestion.. may be you should say this here to get mods/admins attention better..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987254
You should report it to your fsm, with a link to the user profiles...
Do not engage yourself, as people may not always agree with you...
Just report to a mod, works everytime for me :thumbup:
This signature space is dedicated to the OT Thanks feature. RIP OT thanks, you shall be missed.

The first signature doesn't look too big IMO.
The post would be of same length without the signature.
Can't really say something about the second signature, as it does not end at the end of your screenshot.
So that could in deed be too big.
Extremely big signature should be reported to the forum specific maoderator (FSM), but if you feel that it is only "a little bit" too big, than you can PM the user in a friendly way.
I have done this several times like: "You have a very nice signature and a really good looking picture in there. Maybe you can even improve your signature by using a smaller picture or optimizing the arrangement of the parts in your signature so that your post can be read better. And this could also save some space in the threads as well."
All users that I PMed like this answered very pleased that they feel thankful for my tips and changed their signatures.
Maybe I was lucky ... but if you provide your help to optimize their sigantures, most people will at least tolerate it IMO.

You are right.. this has worked for me too.. told 2 guys.. they both happily did it..
I did tell they might get into trouble for having such large signature though

Here's the same shot on my 1920x1080 screen...
...so what you have to complain about others don't, but I do think sig pics/banners should have a limit, your picture is nothing compared to this...
...now that is taking the p*$s!

Yes, you found the extreme example.
Saw this guy's signature already in another thread ... he seems to like his phone ... and his own face
But some other users may not like to see this large picture below each of his posts.
Here a [HIDE][SIGPIC][/SIGPIC][/HIDE] would be a solution ... for him to keep his big picture and for all other to not see it
@ExperienceD
Holy [email protected]#$% @ the last picture. Damn, that guy's signature is huge!
We do police image sizes to an extent. if one is larger than it needs to be, we'll ask the member to reduce the size or remove it.
But remember you can hide signatures from being shown in your profile settings. http://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editoptions

The problem with this 'solution' is that you are effectively encouraging people to hide signatures. However ... a lot of the longer-serving members have useful links in their sigs, the sort of things that a noob should see, notice and read to avoid asking stupid questions or breaking the rules of XDA. Hiding signatures means this information is lost.
Many complain they can't see my signature hidden in spoilers.. But I can see.. And when we use xda in 2013 beta 1024 mode.. We can see.. Why is that so?

Their signature extended takes up my full screen, which is ridiculous, I think some People don't grasp the point of a signature.

Ha yep they sure don't.
@Chukudu seriously, remove that gif. Also reduce the font size pls.
What I don't like is that I've observed people that put (LONG TEXT) signature in THE POST, tough with spoiler.. And I've seen an user with high posts count.
BUT the problem is that you just takes precious database space with duplicate/redundant data.
Signatures should be put ONLY in signature section and not in the post.
PS: the in-post signature I've seen really contains pretty long text (about used phone, rom, kernel, etc) and in most cases the signature length is higher than the actual post information.
PS2: I'm not talking about tapatalk signatures "Posted using Tapatalk". Even If I do not agree with those too, because there are work-arounds. Eg: extract tapatalk information from post's user agent [I doubt that Tapatalk doesn't send custom UA in combination of actual mobile). This way you can save a lot of DB tables space.

Here:
:what:
That is absurd...he can't really be copy pasting all that crap into all his posts!
I still think it's his tapatalk sig..or maybe something is wrong with him.
Err..not all his posts contain that.
Either way it's not right, just report him.
I found him..but i'll let you do the honors.

The files for this Animation was providet by [ElCondor]
So what i did.. because at first i don`t like the Backround colour i modify the backround frames and make them full black and full white without any shadows also clear some pixels and make the animation faster and under 100kb
The final result is really cool looking animation, fast and smooth i think to make diferent colours and styles when i have more time.
Also here is Sound from the Windows 7 Start up but because in diferent ROMs sometimes the Start up sound is with diferent name i will post the sound separate and if anyone like it can just rename and copy in the Windows Folder.
I Already test it few times on my HD and the result is Amazing.
The file TSALTABlackWVGA.cab Including FULL BLACK animation and The Same Welcomehead.png
The file TSALTAWhiteWVGA.cab Including FULL WHITE animation and The Same Welcomehead.png
If you want WelcomeHead like this in the Last image you need to download:
DiferentWelcomehead.Zip unzip the file and copy the file Welcomehead.192.png in your Windows Folder --- NOTE this Diferent Welcomehead is only for the Black Version for NOW.
If you want to use only the Animation then download HTCBlackAnimation.zip

Can you "clean up" the white version aswell?
Yes of course what kind of colour you need? i mean i can do it diferent colour if u want
I can clean it to be Super White or i can make it any diferent colour if u want let me know and i need around 10 minutes to make it
Super White version would be great!
No rush tho. Take your time.
You are ready chek out the 1st post and let me know how run in your HTC i can make it Whiter but i think this is enought white
Nice work
Well done
Excellent stuff! Works great. Alot faster than the previous version.
Thanks alot for that. Appreciated
Yes its faster, clear and lighter Enjoy
Later on when have more time will make diferent colours and maybe not only the backround colour will be diferent can add some more things etc
Just noting something here:
The whole animation is made by me and this guy distributes it without giving me credit.
Let this be clear: I just call this stealing. It took hours to make it, he grabbed it, enhanced it a bit (will be about 2 minutes to do) and uploaded it without asking anything...

1st i was enought nice with you.
2nd i Write with Border that you provie the files for this Animation.
3rd This Animation that i UPLOAD is complate diferent in theAnimation have 64 Frames and REDUCE this GIF ANIMATION CLEAR it and Make it DIFERENT COLOUR also Your file is Over 200KB my File is Under 90KB
So The Peoples Who Already USE your Animation come here and Download this Animation i Spend Around a Hour to FIX this. When you pretend wil be about 2 minutes to do WHY THEN YOU DONT DO IT BY YOURSELF and WHY yesterday YOU ASK ME HOW IM MODIFY EVERY FRAME? Everyone can chek out what we write in the Forum to see for what im talking about. To ask you what...? 1st When i Give you the Animation to use it all was fine But when i post it then this become a problem.?!?!?! I grab it? YOU ANIMATION SUCKS really Its bad Colour Frames SPeed OHHH MYY GOSHH i Stole your PATENT....
Second Im Not Very SURE about that you own Animation Because this HTC Quality Briliant i saw already in few STOCK LEO ROM`s The diference with your Animation is ONLY the FInal WINDOWS PHONE ....
So i can REMOVE IT and you will tell again that you OWN this Animation?
YOU OWN THE RIGHT FOR "HTC Quietly Brilliant" ??? So if i wana make diferent kind of Animation HTC Quietly Brilliant AGAIN i can`t because its your PATENT or what?
Everyone is FREE to make what he WANT and what he LIKE and When Someone can do it Better than you ITS FINE.
Ask for example the member scotia_rfc Who use Your Animation and them come and ask me to make it Whiter and Clear ask him The diference betwen this Animation i Upload and This that you have there.
I was more than a nice with you and also i explain you how to modify everysingle FRAME to make your Animation Lighter and Faster and good Looking at all....
When you pretend is all yours WHY YOU DIDNT do it by yourself? Everyone can TRY and CHEK Witch Animation is Better and CLEAR
IF XDA THINK that im not RIGHT OK im not a HUNKS like you and HERE is Comunity WE ALL TOGETHER TO SPEND AND SHARE.
So I was Enought NICE with you and i give you credits and Like everyone can See i write with BOLD that you provide the files for the Animation... Yesterday all was fine but NOW you can`t SLEEP because YOU CANT LIVE that my Animation is better than your Animation and Come here and Post.. Sh...ts like this!!!
I CANT SPEAK WITH PEOPLES LIKE THIS and I dont wana sound RUDE but you are TOTTALY A NUT
you guys are right, I removed this post.

Maybe is Not enought that i write your name.. you need to tell you SPECIAL thanks for the reson that i re-build the files myself? and like you can see i NEVER PRETEND THIS IS MY OWN FILES and i wrote that the Files for this Animation are providet by You witch is the TRUTH.. and TRUTH is also that your Animation was SLOW and BAD Colour so i re-build this by myself because i don`t like your Animation how look like on my Phone i cant understand where is the problem? I can`t make something that i like or what? When i re-build it for myself and i saw is better than your post i POST it and u know about that and i write your NAME with BOLD in the post because here may have other peoples like me who want Smoother Faster and nice looking Animation.
Yeah files... okay... i think it's not clear enough, it sounds like I only gave you the 'quietly brilliant' image and not more.

This is the TRUTH i write Files because this is FILES.. that i get.
Completely different? Just do a compare between these and the ones attached on my thread, nearly exactly the same. Fact remains that you are using the complete animation I made which took more than 3 hours.
Click to expand...

This is NOT True.. From how long time you have this POST???? and When Clear the Animation and also don`t forget that i Upload the Files Now you have the same files.. OF COURSE you will say you made them.. then how u pretend that my Files are the same with your files when i Upload the Clear Animation 1st? and When you pretend you know almost everything and this is a job for 2 minutes WHY you don`t do it by yourself for 2 minutes and all will be happy me too and i will not do it by myself will just Download yours.
Because it takes 2 minutes to do it for ONE resolution. I have to make it for 4, and also the white ones. And I do not need to update it so many times because it's simply a waste of time.
Click to expand...

I speak for the same so u are telling right now that you can do all this 4 times 2 minutes each time = 8 minutes total + 2 minutes Upload = 10Minutes total Im asking you WHY then when all this is for 10 Minutes your Post is ONLINE from 6 DAYS not Minutes.
Then everything went fine, untill you made this thread.

So everything was fine untill i upload the Animation.. witch mean when the peoples don`t have what to compare of course will not know with for sure do this is Good or its BAD..
But when this person who download the Faster Animation he saw the diference and now there have a problem because NOW he can see that this Animation is better.
you haven't explained me anything, I know how to modify every frame with photoshop but I was just wondering how to change it when you don't have the PSd file. I am not a noob, otherwise I coul have not been able to make this animation - which obviously many people like, downloaded more than 4000 times.
Click to expand...

Many Peoples Like with SURE 4000 Downloads but they don`t have what to compare so don`t tell me right now that the Peoples LOVE Grey PIXELS animation than FULL BLACK.
MY FALES are totally DIFERENT from your FALES if anyone download BOTH and compare will see the Diference then why u pretend its your FILES AT ALL?
If Someone Make a NOT WORKING CAR with Defect for example Mercedes SLK and then Other Person make the Same CAR Mercedes SLK to work perfect what is this? Can this person pretend WOW you took my car???? NO he can`t because he DIDN`T MAKE A CAR THAT WORK.
I WILL NOT COMMENT ANYMORE TOO this is the FACTS
Wow, you guys both need to grow up!
Hi tsalta and [ElCondor]
The fact of the matter is you are both posting modifications of material that has been copyrighted by other people (HTC and Microsoft). Neither of you could claim any kind of ownership over the images over which you are now squabbling.
Additionally, this is a forum where members post their work, making it public and while it is polite to provide credits/attribution (see my threads as an example), once you have posted something you have no control over how other members use it. If you have posted original material that is subject to copyright and/or a creative commons licence, and if you are earning enough, you can ask your lawyer to ask them to remove any material that might be "stolen". In this case, neither of you can steal something from the other when you have both in fact stolen the material from somebody else (as per first sentence above).
Finally, nobody wants to read your ridiculous arguement with each other so I suggest you continue via PM if at all.
Best wishes

Wow, can't a moderator settle this?
Here's my opinion:
This situation seems to be similar to when someone "skins" a work originally created by another. From what I've seen on here, the person who enhanced the original work usually makes it clear that their work is only an ENHANCEMENT or MODIFICATION and includes a link to the original creator.
So I think it's only fair that tsalta edits his first post to make it more clear that his work is a modification and post a link to ElCondor's original post, which is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587867.
My opinion is only based on your exchanges and original threads...I have no idea what ElCondor had to do to create his work and what tsalta had to do to create his work, so my opinion could be wrong. I hope you guys can work it out.
EDIT: looks like andrew posted clearer information about these works while I was typing...

I Aree with you too and this is what im saying. The reason to don`t write that he made the Files is very simple because he really didn`t make the files that are uploaded here on this post.
Also i dont have any problem at all so like i say i made it for myself and then decide that i can share with other peoples who like it.
Anyway we are not kids here and i really think this is more than stupid for this Reason... The Moderators to remove this Thread and all to be fine.
All i want is to make better animaton like you can see i don`t win anything from this only headache and crazy conversation....
just a little bit explanation about the first idea & work from elcondor in your thread to skin htc stuff would be nice to him but guys ,i have the same thing in the past,just stop it and come back on topic,give the credits to elcondor and thanks for the work you also made,the best thing is to work togheter and not to fight on the same work

Like andrew-in-woking we Both Stole something and here the 80% are stolen things if we think like this because we use corporate Logos and etc without official permission.
Also in this case we Are Both Right because The GIF Animation is Animation made from alot Images frame by frame.. so He made the Animation Its True but Its True also that This Animation is diferent from his because all 64 Frames are Edited not only one Image and on the final we Both are RIGHT and when all the Frames are diferent this is complate diferent animaton but i never pretend i do it by myself like everyone can see i write in the 1st post that He Provide the Files for that Animation and i write What exactly i to.. modify clear faster and thats it.

No problem you 2 have done good work
Galaxy S - how to put dem files, buildings, maps, pois etc to external SD card. Well, that can save some time MB from internal SD memory. You need: ROOT, SU, and file commander which can enter some folders as root.
First, there is a need to look on located in internal SD file - sys.txt:
in section: [folders] there is line:
content="%SDCARD%/iGO/content"
after changing it to:
content="%SDCARD%/external_sd/iGO/content"
and after moving the folders: dem, map, poi, buildings to the external_sd/IGo/content IGo will... not work.
There is second sys.txt file, located in \data\data\com.navngo.igo\javaclient and this one must be same as first one.
After that - voila, several MB is free on the internal SD

One simple thing: pls explain me how the term: GREEDY is related with the trick mentioned here?
Sorry, but contrary to YOUR friends, I didn't posted the sys.tst (assuming your position, it should be with some mp3, to increase its weight) as two separate files: original and corrected to the server which requires premium account or which makes profits to uploader. Maybe this is because I have normal work, and such things are my hobby, again, contrary to YUOR friends, not primary source of income.
I think this is clear for you now?

One simple thing: pls explain me how the term: GREEDY is related with the trick mentioned here?
Sorry, but contrary to YOUR friends, I didn't posted the sys.tst (assuming your position, it should be with some mp3, to increase its weight) as two separate files: original and corrected to the server which requires premium account or which makes profits to uploader. Maybe this is because I have normal work, and such things are my hobby, again, contrary to YUOR friends, not primary source of income.
I think this is clear for you now?

I'm just doing what you have done to the other thread, nothing more. Before pointing a finger at someone, 3 of them is pointing back at you.
Why don't you answer in that thread, since you still think that Ramad is making money off the users by uploading to multiupload sites. Is there any proof based on your claim? I guess YOUR friend had already made enough to buy 2 new phones just by the downloads he put up. Why 2? You go figure...

@ spamtrash,
Going back to the topic:
I cannot find the file sys.txt . Not in the root of the internal SD , also not in the iGo folder.
I was thinking about applying the changes on sys.txt file located at data\data\com.navngo.igo\javaclient and then copy/paste it on to the root of internal SD (or shall I place it in the iGo folder?) but shall I remove the existing lines at sys.txt in section [folders]:
Code:
[folders]
secondary_root_path="iGO"
has_secondary_root=1
those are the only lines there by the way...
Or just add the new lines?
Tks

One question: show me please ONE server between the multiupload links, which is NOT donating the uploader. Single one, please?
Otherwise, I'd have to add: hypocritical liar to the greedy.
Of course, if you will point to the free server, I'll withdraw this.

Do not remove anything from there... which version of the IGo do you have?
the section [folders] shall contain:
[folders]
;Please, don't modify "secondary_root_path" value!!!
;If you need to change it, please, there must exist folder /sdcard/iGO
;with resources moved from full apk (fonts, audio folder and sys.txt)
secondary_root_path="iGO"
has_secondary_root=1
user_backup_path="%SDCARD%/iGO"
data="%SDCARD%/iGO"
content="%SDCARD%/external_sd/iGO/content"
after the modification.
And check your pm...

You are accusing someone, and yet you are asking the accused to show proof? Are you from stone age? Withdraw? No apologies? Wow, a real eye opener for me, I must say. Ramad had shown the proofs, he had the right to call the involved GREEDY. Where about are your proofs? Why am I not surprised you can't produced? Remember the 3 fingers? Hahaha....

The proff: so called "free" multiupload link of Ramad: http://www.multiupload.com/LZQB839QHP does not contain any single free link. It contains instead:
Rapidshare;
Megaupload;
Depositfiles;
Hotfile;
zshare;
uploading
links, and NONE of them is free. You have to buy a premium account, otherwise - you are donating the uploader. Period.
If you want more proofs - check the Ramad's tread.
And please stop cheating directly to the eyes, ok? As I said - pure hypocrisy

Have you tried using multiupload before? Guess you haven't, but yet so condescending...
If what you said is true, then they would have advertised like filesonic or fileserve which Ramad had showed the proof. Just show me the adverts from those sites saying that you can make money and in your words, I will withdraw from this. Tell you what, i'll even throw in an apology.
Hypocrisy...

Just follow the link, smart guy who do not know anything, this is the link from Ramad's tread. And, download the file from Megaupload, first time in your life, kiddo.
So, please carefuly read Multiupload's terms of services, especially the point 1.1: "...The Services operate by sending and storing the specified User File on external Web sites, file storage services not maintained by Multiupload.com (collectively "Third Party Services"), on behalf of the User. The links to control the User File on the Third Party Services will be stored on Multiupload.com and then Multiupload.com will display and/or email two generated unique links to the User. The User(s) can then access the download links to download the User File from the Third Party Services by clicking on one of the unique generated links"
In simple words, as it seems that you are very resistive to facts and knowledge: no single file is maintained on Multiupload's servers, they are providing one unique link to the files stored by third parties. In this specific Ramd's case, as stated previously, none of these third party is free, and all are providing offer to buy premium accounts or downoad while donating the uploader.
This time: have you understood? If not, please ask someone adult, they shaould be happy to explain some base facts to you.

Where I have used: adverts? I stated: users are donated by the servers providers, like the Hotfile, for the downloads.
I asked you for providing FREE server links, never mentioned: free of adverts.
That's ok ! I created the sys.txt(copy/paste) and placed it, and...it works! THANKS

Hi everybody!
I've spent a day on the last long weekend and wrote a simple voice translator with speech-to-text and text-to-speech capabilities. Truly, I did it because I was confused a little of this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352006 . OP treats his app too "top-secret and classified", and put a lot of limitations and restrictions for XDA members. But that kind of app is very simple; there is no know-how or some proprietary technologies involved: all apps (of this kind) are using undocumented Google's speech-to-text and text-to-speech APIs (but very well documented on internet forums! )
Also, AFAIK, most of 'em are using FlacBox project's code but without reference to project page and author's copyright!
I'd like to announce a completely free application (but ad-based); everybody are welcome to beta-test (marketplace version will be released soon after XDA slight beta test).
App has no limitations or restrictions but if you can't hear translation or recognition is not working for your language, it's not a my fault but just not supported by Google's APIs.

P.S. BTW, do you know: Google's translator already knows an "albansky" (you know what I mean - for other's it's a Russian specific internet slang) language Try to pronounce: "V Babrujsk, givotnoe" or "Afftar ggot"
anyway
cool and nice work!!!!
Great app~ Thanks
Awesome app THX man. For Polish work good.

"No" and "yes" I wrote this app yesterday, just after finishing reading your topic. I was a little confused: you are drastically promoted your app on the one hand but refused of beta testers on the other hand... XDA isn't free beta-testers place or advertising area; it's a community of enthusiasts and homebrew developers. So I decide to give a chance to "unlucky" XDA members to get the same app for free, without limitations and restrictions. BTW, I can afford to spend 10 hours of my time for community needs (but my wife disagrees with me! )

Hmm. About 80 people (at least) are downloaded xap from the first post but only few rated app and left response on the marketplace (as I've asked)
Hey, XDA members, nobody is asking for your money or complicated movements, just provide your appreciation! It takes not longer than one minute...
P.S. I wasn't 100% sure what the "common" xda member is a lazy greedy "freeloader" even when I've collected money for Cotulla's test handset and only 12 people donated... But now I'm going to change my mind

Hey man, don't stress too much about it. I know what you feel, we had 100+ "private beta testers" and only 10 responded with feedback the others only asked for the app and never heard of since. Thats the way it works, and some maybe want to do some more experiments before they rate and give feedback. I have not downloaded it yet, just saw this thread and it looked interesting.
Ill check the app out later this week (as Im doing quite some stuff in multiple languages it might be usefull to me) and will rate it. Maybe you have to tune up the logos and the UI a bit (metro style bubbles??) so you will not get critized for that. As I also found out WP7 owners tend to not update their reviews so you will get bashed for inital bugs/ui glitches pretty much permanently.
But thanks for the hard work of the development. I am truely looking forward to what you can come up with in the future with this app.
Keep it up and don't worry too much about it, the people that are interested will show their support, the ones that don't well they don't.
Marvin, thanks for good words! Of course, my criticisms don't apply to you, as well as dozens of busy developers here on xda (also, we have a lot of students and they are very busy now). You know, I helped to lot of people here, and people are helped me too. Actually it's an only thing keeps me on XDA
I'm not an angry or stressed (it's a forum's smiles ); just want to blame people who treats xda like a "warez" or "free stuff" place. But it isn't (at least on my opinion).
Of course I'll continue my work on the funprojects ('cause it's my hobby and not about money) and will continue to help the good people here.
Not all of us are like that! I left both of you feedback/bug reports, sorry to hear that many don't though. I can imagine as a dev that would be frustrating..

Thanks, man, I know and appreciate that! Fortunately there are lot of a real industry enthusiasts and responsible people here (but of course not all have a time to read all topics).
But take a look to the first post, 161 people are already downloaded app v 1.1 from XDA (app has much-much more downloads now from the marketplace but I don't care about mp strangers). I believe there are no strangers or casual visitors here on XDA so most of 'em are XDA members and reading these forums regularly, and I've asked for very tiny thing (and never asked for 5 stars or good review only - no, I need a people's real opinion) but only few people (let's say, 6 at day one, most of 'em my XDA friends) are rated and left reviews... It's kinda disappointing...
Haha yes, also scoobysnacks it was not directed at you.
But back on topic. It seems to crash for me when I copied a translated text (dutch to spanish) than exit the app trough taskswitcher to go to whatsapp. When i come back with the taskswitcher it will show resume... (is it not mango ready?) and than crashes. Dont know if its consistent, but it just happened. Which is unfortunate since I like to use it in combination with whatsapp eg.
Also, could you implement onfocus --> textbox2.SelectAll so i can easily copy all text when clicking the textbox with the translation. As I will use that a lot.
But it works pretty good, the google api does a good job at recognising. And you built it well. The hold to speak is indeed very smart and works intuitive.
What is it:
This is a quick extension I coded up to turn XDA threads into an image gallery. The extension button will enable when you're on a topic that it is able to translate, clicking it will open a new tab that dynamically fetches images as your scroll down. Keep in mind this is an Alpha, did it in one day, so it may ( read "most likely" ) will have problems. Its great on those "Post your screenshots" ( wallpapers, cases, whatever ) type threads.
Permissions:
- "Access your data on forum.xda-developers.com" - This is to fetch images from the forum, I haven't messed around with removing it since I was just using this personally but decided to release to you. Promise I don't care, nor gather, anything about what you do on XDA.
- "Access your tabs and browsing activity" - This is to detect when you switch between tabs and enable/disable the extension button. Also I do have this hooked into Google Analytics now, but I only gather extension page views to see what's being used. In the future I'll be hooking it into events as I add features( if it's popular enough ) to decide where to put my efforts. No personal information is collected.
- "Storage": Allow extension to save Extension Settings.
How to Install:
New: Added to official Chrome store now just add via https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/xda-gallery-beta/bohmnlfnbncjhpjagccfgblhcdgicdnp
Reporting Bugs:
If you'd like to report bugs then please give me the thread you had an issue with, and if you can narrow it down to an image then link to the post containing that image ( if it's working, there is a link under each image to bring you to the post. ).
What's Next:
Currently the extension will start showing images from the forum page you launched it from. Going to implement a way to jump to the beginning or specific page.
Implement scrolling upwards to load the previous pages images, this is needed for the next item.
Lots more ideas for "community" type features But gotta get the basics hammered down first!
Change Log:
3/15/2013
Added an "Advanced" options section allowing you to override the number of images and fetch all of them. ( If it doesn't work correctly on some thread blame mon5trum, he requested it )
Some bug fixes
3/9/2013
Now when viewing images in the popup you can click to view prev and next, or just use the arrow keys to navigate!
New Extension Settings page, styled to blend in and match chromes style for settings.
Setting to adjust the minimum number of images to fetch( Careful here as it wont render any images until it finds at least this number, could take awhile if you try and use on a thread that doesn't have many images ).
Setting to turn on debug mode ( Will show logging in the Chrome console. NOTE: I'd leave this disabled unless you need to troubleshoot an issue as it could slow down logic a bit )
3/7/2013
Lots of fixes and enhancements in this one.
First off, thanks to Pooley! He is an awesome guy, and very talented. Thanks to him with have a great, professional looking icon!
Aspect ratio is now respected
Added image zoom capability
Now identify images with broken links and shows in small window( as to not break scrolling functionality for now )
Images should also layout nicely in a column format
Fixed quite a few bugs( hopefully without creating new ones )
Hmmm... seems like there should be more, but I'm too lazy to look at my commit log, so just check it out
3/2/2013
NEW: Now on the official Chrome Web Store
Starting to work on the look a bit, its still pretty ugly lol... What can I say, graphic design isn't my thing, but it'll get better
1/27/2013
Pretty much a complete rewrite
Fixed loading duplicate issues
Better error handling( Will tell you when it's reached the end of the thread )
Asynchronous loading should now be working correctly
Do you find this useful? Click the Thanks button to send me some encouragement... Or if you're feeling really generous buy me a redbull to keep me going at the keyboard ( If not, no worries, it's hardly expected )
Great idea mate, thanks

Didn't use anything that would exclude Linux, I'll have to look into that.

It doesn't work if the page contains a gif. But gifs are shown in the gallery though.
Example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38762538#post38762538. And i think sometimes it also happens if a gif is present in a user's signature.

It's working now. Seems to be haphazard.

Ok here is the icon. first attempt. zip contains psd + png (512, 38, 19).
Will try another way as I don't see clearly the pic on 19x19 res. But it's a first try, tell me more about color, about shapes what do you eventually like to see in the icon.
FYI no active/inactive as the inactive will be the greyscaled version of the active one
OK second try
I like this one (minimalist and easely recognizable even in 19x19) what do you think ?
Also attach a zip with psd + png (512, 38, 19) ON/OFF mode
Hi,
So today i made several posts and topics, and i noticed that when it's not a small amount of text, it cannot be posted without a workaround.
This error will appear: "Oops! We broke the matrix. Someone call Neo!" and it tells me to look in the console for more details. If i look there, it turns out to be an 403 Forbidden without any other useful details provided

The above meaning of this (403) makes me think it's a misconfiguration on XDA's end, therefore a site bug. It is very annoying, as it makes you unable to just post what you wrote, if it's not a small amount of text. So it will consume your time for the workaround or even prevent people from posting & throw their effort in the bin, if they don't know about the workaround
Workaround
First make a smaller post (so you cut down your text, and save the rest that is 'too long' according to the bug) and then once posted, edit it. Add the missed text while editing, and click Save.. that will work without errors.
Maybe i should do what the error message asks? Call Neo?
@Neo
There is no post...

The above meaning of this (403) makes me think it's a misconfiguration on XDA's end, therefore a site bug. It is very annoying, as it makes you unable to just post what you wrote, if it's not a small amount of text. So it will consume your time for the workaround or even prevent people from posting & throw their effort in the bin, if they don't know about the workaround
Workaround
First make a smaller post (so you cut down your text, and save the rest that is 'too long' according to the bug) and then once posted, edit it. Add the missed text while editing, and click Save.. that will work without errors.

What I usually do is write all my stuff out before hand on a text file, then copy pasta. It is much more efficient!

what do you mean? I used the workaround that i described, so i could still make the posts that first gave me this "Matrix" error
So if you need a reference, those are:
Topic 1
Topic 2
Yes, now they exist, because i used the workaround of first shortening it, and later editing back in the text i cut from it, to avoid the error while initially posting it. And certainly i had all text in my editor and then respectively the "Post thread" and "Post reply" buttons gave me the error, if that's what you meant.
The issue really looks like a 'character limit', but in a way of a bug. It's not like it says "Too many characters" or anything, lol. But still, 403 means the server refuses it.

In order to address your concern, I must first have you understand an undeniable truth, although I'm afraid it may be difficult to accept... This truth is that there is no post. It never existed. It never was and never will be. This is the reason for the error. An anomaly to a mathematical equation inherent to the program which can never be solved. The challenge you face going forward, is that you can either embrace this truth, or run from it.
The choice is up to you.

You don't believe me, i also said it replying to the PM: im sure about my case, my eyes dont lie haha. I mean, the text editor was filled with content that i intended to post, and it just refused to post it (with that error) unless i made it shorter, and then i could edit it in later.
So, to hopefully make you believe me, i just recorded a video for proving the bug:
https://streamable.com/owu2u3
I think your error logs are giving you the wrong impression, like the bug causes them to be limited as well? So it like indicates there was no content, as the bug make the content non-transmittable in the first place?
Did anyone else face this issue, when making posts & topics that aren't small? Like the size of my example topics that required the workaround to post
Edit: Neo informed me that he was making a joke about a glitch in the matrix, and i didnt watch the movies so i was clueless, heh. But now i finally laughed.

So if I say take the Red pill it won't make much sense either.... LoL
I'll do some experimenting with the problem you've had. I'm not sure if it's a character limit or maybe the range of mixed content you have (links, code etc).
I've not had reports of this from other people though.
Did you say you type it up in another app then copy paste to XDA?

It wasn't me who mentioned typing it up in another app.. that was jenneh. I don't know if maybe he faces the same issue (or various), so that he resorted to that
I wrote the content entirely in XDA's text editor.. when it comes to mixed content, all i did was:
- Have cursive and non-cursive text combined
- Have links (added through the XDA editor link button)
- Have varying text sizes, with size selected through the XDA editor
But when it comes to the last point, yes i did copypaste content from other locations in my text/other posts on XDA forums.. not to use it at all, but to work around a font size bug that also exists: see Issue: cannot select original font size, after changing it once in the editor purely for it to inherit the size of the copied text (which was original size). So it was to use the workaround, and then remove the copied text again. I doubt this step was involved though
Also, if it's content, it's weird that you can edit it in afterwards, but not post it right away. I'd figure that guide writers & release topic starters are the first ones to run into this (if the issue is triggered by an invisible, non intended character limit through a bug). Maybe no one reported it because large posts aren't so common, and then if they want to, they will simply spend half a minute to perform the "Editing it in" workaround rather than reporting it. It's a simple workaround because editing in lets you preserve the layout & style if you're copying it directly from another tab, the tab in which you failed to submit the post. So i figure people duplicate the tab once they run into the issue, post it in the new tab with only like 30% of content size, and then edit it in from the original tab. Thanks for investigating the issue!

Ok, well there could be several possibilities.
I have increased the Character limit from 60000 to 80000
There are several other things that can prevent posting.
Minimum 3 minutes between discussion posts
min 30 seconds between regular posts
max 20 messages per page
40 images per page
and it was 5 media embeds per page now 10.
There is also a screening for certain words and phrases and repetitions of some words/phrases.
The reason splitting posts sometimes works is because the system screens the part you are just about to post not the combination of the existing part plus the new part. So for things like repeated text, links etc., it can sometimes circumvent the standard limits.
On the character limit above (which I've increased), it does count unseen background code as characters. Sometimes if text is copied from other Apps it copies huge amounts of invisible and unused code which can gobble up the character limit.

It's working for me, could have been just a temp bug

Same here.
The site glitch's or freezes occasionally. Lol, I attribute it to the relentless site maintenance being preformed.
The old problem of losing an entire post while composing it is gone, yay!
But the blue...
I have this error too. How can I solve this?

Site maintenance happens very often, of late. I don't know why but it is being looked into.
Quite probably, the issue is not on your side. When you have the issue, just wait for a couple of minutes and refresh the page. You should be good to go.

Thanks for the information. I was going crazy with this It happens often but usually it gets fixed in few minutes as you said, sometimes the site is accessible from different browser.

Pretty obvious. No big deal unless you are punching the post button, then bad things sometimes happen
That's annoying, but the site is better then before about losing data while writing a post; auto backup seems to work but it's a bit twitchy.
Lol, so the mod gods can't work seamlessly in the background? I'm appalled
I'm looking into it, thanks all.

Thank you for the effort. Whatever magic you did, it has resolved the issues including the site maintenance issues. Yesterday and today it has been trouble-free.
