Unable to quote other posts - About xda-developers.com

Hi there!
I can't quote other posts since a few days.
If I use the qick reply, I get to the advanced mode, showing the error
The following errors occurred with your submission:
This forum requires that you wait 20 seconds between posts. Please try again in 5 seconds.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I try to quote in advanced mode, the site is loading for 2 minutes and then I get a white page, without any error.
This happens as soon and only if I quote any other post. Without quoting everything works.
Whats wrong there?
Is it just me?

I think its better if you ask this here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976627
As you need to ask admins.. but I think @bitpushr handles this.. and he will check this thread as I mentioned..
From next time if you get such site related problems.. you can ask in that thread.

Hm... When posting the above one, I've seen the error that I have to wait 5 seconds and the post wasn't saved. But it WAS SAVED. Very Strange...

Hey, sorry for the off topic of sorts. It is to do with quoting though...
I've seen lots of posts where people quote something but their quoted area doesn't have the "Quote:" text preceding it. Can someone tell me how they do that?

If you mean about people having quote for some text without actually quoting anyone and with no "Originally posted by username"
Then its called "indent" tags.. you need to replace quote text and put indent in tags to get that..
Like [indent ] [/indent ]
Without spaces..
Or check this threads 10th post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974338
And click on bbcode there.. to get examples on various options on how to use them..

Unable to edit wiki?

Hi there,
I've just signed up so that I could reformat http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream_Boot_Image , but I can't seem to login to the wiki.
I've tried with Firefox 3.5 and Safari 4, both show the board software indicating a successful login, before redirecting back to the wiki where the login box is still present and "you need to login to edit.."
I tried clearing cookies for wiki.xda-developers.com, but it didn't help.
I am not sure, but probably you need to have a certain amount of Posts before you can update the wiki
Hmm, is there perhaps some way I can get around this? Really every question I have has probably been answered 100 times over, and asking them again just to generate credit seems a bit silly. The only thing I can help contribute to is organizing the existing information..
"To be able to create or edit pages, you need to be registered as a user at xda-developers.com. If you are not registered as a user then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com and click 'register' in the menu on the top of the page. Once you're logged in to the forum, you will automatically also be logged in here. If you have an xda-developers account but aren't logged in, simply click the 'sign in' link on the bottom of this page."
You should ask the admin in this concern.
Thanks corepda, Addicted2xda.
I'll see about finding an admin to ask. There is no 'sign in' link, only the standard phpWiki login box, which seems to be wired to the forum login script. However simply clicking the login button gives me a login failure (as per the paragraph you quoted), and entering my username+pw logs me in at the forum but not at the wiki..

Hmm, and you've been a member for over a year. Looks like something is broken. Anyone know who the admins are, or how to ask the forum software to message an admin?
Ok, I found the 'message admins' link and sent them a link to this thread. Yay!
Thread repoted to the staff, I am sure they will reply at the soonest to give you an appropriate reply. Good Luck.

Yeah i have had to get other users to edit the wiki when needed, but never thought to bring it up, so i'd guess it's accounts and not a xda wiki issue?
ok peeps,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Dream_Boot_Image
You can see that i have been able to edit the said wiki. Can you give it another go and reply back here. If there is still a problem i will notify admin.

Same here:
Exactly what happens:
I'm logged into XDA i go to WIKI and choose article, click edit and the log in field pops up i enter my XDA login and it goes to the signing in pop up and loops back to the login.
I think the admins need to look into this.
I've asked Flar to get someone to look at it.

Hey Luke you are not allowed to edit WIKI because you didn't send me birthday pics.

Hi all,
Sorry for my late reply the issue escaped my attention.
I've been able to reproduce the issue with a test account, but am unable to fix it myself. I have notified our sysadmin and wiki admins and they will take a look at the issue as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Flar
i think it is ok that new members can't edit the wiki...i am able to do it and i posted a page few days ago so everything is ok from my point of view and the wiki is still editable
remember the wiki vandalism?
and when our ftp went down?
so don't rush to deal with it...it is just fine this way

1. This issue seems to have nothing to do with being a new member or not, my test account has the same issue and that's been here just as long as I have been.
2. Wiki vandalism has nothing to do with being a new member, a new member can just as well have useful info to share.
3. FTP downtime? what has that got to do with it? The last ftp downtime I could remember had nothing to do with new members but with us not scanning for viruses.

[FAQ] User signature?

Is there a way I can add my own signature on here? I heard that it is in USER CP but the option isnt there ...
Moderator Edit - Here's the answer from svetius
svetius said:
This was an effort to combat spam, and it's had a huge impact! You'll be upgraded to a full account after a certain number of posts (5 - 8 depending on the feature)--it happens automatically. Sorry for the inconvenience

It may take time after reaching the 5-8 post limit for it to allow you access, this is because the process runs in the background.
And when you have enough posts, you can edit your Signature in the UserCP (on the left hand side called "Edit Signature").
Or just click here : Edit Signature

People / Bots were Posting generic messages, like "Thanks this is great" or in some cases, actual responses based on words in a thread. The post it's self was not spam (although pretty pointless), but the users signature would contain 3-4 links to an online company of varying levels of trustworthiness.
We used to find one or two of these bad boys a day. Because they didn't create new threads, nor did they make it obvious to the casual observer, they were getting away with it.
I have not seen one of the so called "signature spammers" since the rules were put in place.
Dave
I had the same question...this is an excellent way to manage spam users. Good job, looking forward to delving more into this forum and getting a signature!
I was a bit upset at not being able to have a signature. Thanks Daveshaw for explaining. Its indeed a great way to stop spammers.

Ya the post limit thing when you start a new account is a good idea to keep the spam to nothing..

But you could post it in General, and then help a few people out while you were there, in Q&A, if your device has one. Don't bother with useless posts, they will be deleted and you'll never get to 10.

Well, you might be right but its not that easy. You know I have experience in those stuff in the development forum, but I have no way to make posts there.
I dont wanna be a sort of spammer by posting stupid stuff to get all the 10 posts.
But this 10 post rule leaves no other way to accomplish...
To find a topic that I can make a useful post takes a lot of time.
If you can't spend the time to make ten legitimate posts before posting in the dev fora, then you don't deserve to post there. This is a developer forum, not a support website.

Oh really? I was a clueless noob total non-developer when I came here and I had no trouble at all helping people who needed links or a little guidance where to find the information they need. XDA works because people help those who help themselves. Do not post useless posts, they will be removed and you'll never get to 10.

Can we get popup notification when someone quotes your post

XDA the wonderful forum it is, but it has gone too big. Not that i'm complaining, but you're post seems to be lost many times because 100 other people posted after you especially in hot threads or ROM releases. So if you quoted someone or someone quotes you many times you skip it, or have to do a painful searches spanning 10's of pages...
Slickdeals.net (another big forum like XDA) has a wonderful system, that whenever someone quotes you're post you get a pop-up next time you log in with a link which takes you straight to the reply. I was wondering if such a system is possible here also?
Regards
BUMP
This feature would be really nice to have!
I like to idea, but I think it depends on the forum system. As I remember XDA uses vBulettin, you should check if it's possible to do this and if so you could ask one of the admins to set it. So to answer your question it's possible, but the admins won't change the source of the forum to do this.

I like this idea too. It might be too resource-intensive (we never want to add a feature that slows down the site). I'll ping our server admin to see if this would be possible.
I am really missing this type of feature!
Specifically, I know many other vBulletin forums that have a /whoquotedme.php page - it shows a list of the latest posts in which you were quoted. It greatly helps in discovering who's trying to communicate with you, answer a question you might've had, or ask one of you [without specifically sending a pm].
I believe something like http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=255285
I think it checks every post to see if there is a user id present when there is a quote in the post, and then associates a link to that post with the user who was quoted.
I haven't specifically heard of it being a resource hog, but then again I am not a vBulletin admin

Are you referring to notifications to new replies on subscribed threads or new PMs? Those are definitely working. If your having an issue with that, we can certainly help you get to the bottom of why your not receiving yours.
When I want to go back to recent conversations I was involved in I use the "Find all posts by" link.
Click on your user name at the top right, select Statistics and there's the link - "Find all posts by your username". I've bookmarked this for easy access.
That way, if I've taken part in a conversation then I can carry on where I left off. If I don't want to see what people responded with then I obviously don't care, and that's up to me to choose. It's the easiest way to keep track of what you were involved in.

Hmmm. Well I just upgraded to a new phone yesterday so let me see if they work on the new one or not. I didn't turn them on assuming it was broken. I had an Eris and a lot of Eris users were complaining that the notifications had quit. I'll let you know.
Thanks
My notifications definitely are not working. I wiped all app caches, uninstalled the xda app, wiped data/dalvik cache and cache/dalvik cache and rebooted twice. I then reinstalled xda app, logged in and set preferences. Still no notifications and I have no idea why. Email and text messages work.

However at slickdeals I think its implemented like whenever someone quote's, a notification is being sent to the ID whose post was quoted...that notification later pops up at bottom when that user logs on, similar to PM dialog which pops, you don't make an actual search in the post that if mentioned someone, so not that resource intensive I feel

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.

Thread Closed at OP's request

Please make use of the QUOTE/MENTION-Feature

Hello, all XDA-Users.
I know, most users know this, but not every XDA-Member…
I'd really like to say something here:
I truly see too many XDA-Users, that simply post something, without thinking about the fact, that somebody maybe overlook/misses your post.
Well, this is OK, but not, if the post is for a specific user.
If somebody wants to reply/say something to another user, without Quoting a Post of the user or mentioning somebody with @[Username]; the [Username] will not be notificated.
That will cause, that there's an extremely low chance, that [Username] will read the post. Maybe he/she looks at the thread at a random moment or recieves a private message etc. Maybe the Member is subscribed to the thread and takes a look randomlý.
But,
If you talk to somebody, please make use of the Quote/Mention-Feature‼
I'm saying this to anybody, who is a member on XDA-Developers.
[Quote="Username"]
Quoted Text [/QUOTE]
[MENTION]XDA-Member-ID[/MENTION] (mine is [B]6011384[/B]) or simply type @Username

Many members actually forget to use Quote/Mention.
I think, it makes sense to put this into the Non-Urgent Forum rules.
I've seen another post, where Quoting/Mentioning isn't used.

[MENTION]6011384[/MENTION] @Hannah Stern So it sends them a notification, yet the username doesn't become a clickable link?
And no problem if the username has spaces in between?
*Edit: The username becomes a clickable link, and it appears that spaces in the username isn't a problem, when using with @
Even if you use the @ option, it automatically changes to mention option which you can see by editing the post.
Also, the correct way to use the Mention option is
[MENTION=XDA-Member-ID] 'any text here, preferably the username, and without the quotes' [/MENTION ]

Hello, all XDA-Users.
I know, most users know this, but not every XDA-Member…
I'd really like to say something here:
I truly see too many XDA-Users, that simply post something, without thinking about the fact, that somebody maybe overlook/misses your post.
Well, this is OK, but not, if the post is for a specific user.
If somebody wants to reply/say something to another user, without Quoting a Post of the user or mentioning somebody with @[Username]; the [Username] will not be notificated.
That will cause, that there's an extremely low chance, that [Username] will read the post. Maybe he/she looks at the thread at a random moment or recieves a private message etc. Maybe the Member is subscribed to the thread and takes a look randomlý.
But,
If you talk to somebody, please make use of the Quote/Mention-Feature
I'm saying this to anybody, who is a member on XDA-Developers.
​ I hope, everybody will use the QUOTE/MENTION-Feature in future if neccesary and i also hope, it helped.
Thanks to all XDA-Users.

It should be obvious to me, but it isn't - is there and quick icon to apply the mention tags, or do you have to type the whole thing in? Thanks
Edit: sorry I was tired when posted this. Penny dropped.. @thugslug
