Just wondering why were the following threads closed without being given a reason.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147688
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212770
I'm not sure, it looks like a mistake, I have PM'd the mod who closed it, asking them to enlighten us - it was only 4hrs ago.
Thanks,
Dave
I closed it based on your OP. This will avoid emails being posted as many ppl do not look at the OP. We can always re-open at a later date if you wish. I see no reason to keep it open. If its thanks your wanting to keep it open for, thats what the thanks button is for
The second one was not my doing.

Yea. I realized that must've been the reason after some thinking. Closing the thread will prevent people from posting more email addresses in the forum. And, they will start PMing me if I can't update the post. Google+ is still invite based and instant sign up links have a 150 limit. That means all those links will expire pretty soon and will need an update.
But, nonetheless, just a suggestion for XDA. It'd be better if EMails are prevented being from posted in all threads. It will only invite harvest bots.
So did you want it to remain open to avoid PMs or will you let me know when to reopen?

I'd prefer it to be reopened sooner. Reopen it whenever you have the time. No hurry and no worries. =)

Hello, all.
First of all, let me say that I did not make the decision to create a thread lightly. I have been a member of this forum for over a year, and this is my first post. I have looked everywhere, but cannot find this simple answer.
How do I thank a member for his/her excellent work? Specifically, I have been trying to thank twa_priv for his excellent Kindle Fire JB build, which I have been using fr the last week or so. I cannot find a thank button. I do not have permission to post in the thread; (which I do not have any intention of doing, anyway, unless I have a specific question or error to report) but, does that mean I do not have permission to thank? Do I need to spam away 9 more posts to have the right to thank someone? I read that there should be a picture of a flower (or, at least, there would be on Tapatalk, which I am not using), but don't see anything of the sort using Chrome on Ubuntu.
Thank you in advance.

Now that you have replied, the "Thanks" button has appeared on your and others' posts. I don't understand why it wasn't before, but all is fine now. Thank you!

Hey, and you even hit it. Awesome! Perhaps you just need someone to reply to one of your posts to activate it initially? I learned something today.
Give thanks
left side there is a thanks button
To activate the thanks button, you need atleast one post as a member...

And after posting sign out and back in. That is what worked for me.
And thanks to a.cid for posting how to be a new user. I read that a while back, before I ever joined xda. :banghead:

That's exactly the information I was looking for. The link was helpful, too. You may have noticed that I gave a disclaimer to my post. I have been using this forum for thirteen months without ever having posted anything. I felt like a total jerk for even having had to create a thread for something so trivial. I usually search and easily find the answer to any question, but was not finding anything about this. I am certainly trying not to be obnoxious to anyone. Thanks again!

We need more members who know how to search for answers. The fact that you made it 13 months without posting is impressive.
Thank you all for this post. Had I searched a day or two earlier, it probably would have been a lot harder to find this info.
Moved to About XDA section.
hopefully this solves it
I have the same problem. Hopefully this first post of mine will reveal the illusive thanks button
left side dont have meh?

You will need a few more thanks to move the meter, 24 more to be exact. Good Luck!!
[GUIDE] How to be a New User (and not a noob)
Trying to be a good new user I searched for how to give thanks and found this thread instead of spaming other threads with "Thanks for posting" Appreciate the clarification on why I couldn't see the thanks button.
Thank YOU!
I actually joined this site just to thank someone who posted an updated app, but wasn't sure how until I saw this.
Feels like a lot of hoops, but hopefully it's worth it.
It's at the bottom-left of the post . I don't have it at first but after my first post , *poof* it's there and available XD
Thanks for the thread as I also want to be able to give people their just due.
Just in addition:
On Tapatalk and XDA app, just long-press the post you want to thank for, then scroll a little bit to the right in the appearing actions menu and select "Thanks" (may be in your system's language).
Enable thanks button by having a post
This is my obligatory first post to enable the thanks button. Figured this was the best thread to do it.
Hello, Im working on a applicatiopn that will help me and my friends in school with allot of things, and i have a problem programming a "on screen back button". later when i get home i will post the codes I´ve wrote so fare. (im not a skilld programmer so i gess i haven´t used the best codes)

Is the code available already? Also, I'd ask this in the Android Q&A section of XDA.

Welcome! You'll find that, for the most part, we're welcoming and nice. A lot of the time you'll find answers to whatever questions/issues you have in the Q&A Section. Just do a search or browse through and you'll find what you're looking for.
I love all the various ROMs in the two developers sections. You can see what I'm currently running in my sig, but there's a ton of awesome ROMs there.
Hope you enjoy your stay here at XDA!

There a lot of members incl. me who would like to see your work once again, but this is just wrong. Why harm the entire Community by doing this instead of just ignoring those members who bothers you?
I know exactly what you mean by lazy persons, there are just too many people who does not search or try to do something about their issues with their device themselves and just wants to be spoonfeed by others.
But please, bring back your work to the Z1 Compact section, if you don't want to then that's your choice.
Thank for all your work for Xperia Z1 compact
I like your amazing custom rom
I respect your decision but it's too bad

I agree, if you're so easily offended by people who aren't even aggressive but just a but dull, you shouldn't make a public release. All others have to deal with this as well, deleting a thread just because somebody posted something that might be considered a "negative comment" because he made a mistake is ridiculous. That doesn't reflect on the dev but that person alone, most people reading here are intelligent enough to recognize that.
Also, if people are making the same mistakes over and over, your documentation is probably lacking, and documentation is part of any release. And if people are supposed to test a release, they need to know how to use it. Plus it would be wiser to listen and consider the possibility that there's an actual bug instead of always saying "nah, you did something wrong".
Sorry to say that because I really appreciate his work and porting the Privacy Guard was a great unique feature, but at times munjeni was just rude for no reason. And this final move is an insult against everybody.

I am so sorry to these peoples! Next time anybody must be active instead of being silent and lazy for helping each other! My whole thread got 3 pages of negative reports but nobody chosed his 5 minute to try to help there, thats one of the reasons why I had decision to stop all my work. Hope moderators finaly close our thread?! Thanks!

I understand you, but you know right that you can Close the thread yourself? There should be a button for it in the "edit" option on the main post.

I know that but @KennyG123 told me that I need to contact moderators for thread close! I will contact administrator and ask him about my rights for my own threads since if these thing which @KennyG123 told me is true than I can not see reason why "we" r.c. or r.d. have these option available under thread menu, thats realy funny if we have no right for closing own treads or asking moderators for own thread deletion. I reported this post allready but thread is still opened.

Sorry, I didn't see the report for this one. And I apologize but RDs can close their own threads for any reason, RCs cannot. I apologize that the green of your username resulted in me only showing you the RC rules. Again apologies for not seeing that this morning.
