YES!
I love the content on XDA Forums, but... there's more signature than content in most threads.
IMHO.
No Signature, No Smilies, No Icon.
You can choose to disable signatures in your forum settings.
Nay, no signs limits everything to almost plain text. Maybe some kind of regulamentation on the length of it....

We already have a 1,250-character limit on signatures, which is perfectly fine in my honest opinion.
Not limited to the number of chars, or at least not only.
Limit of rows it can be, or pixels for images. What if i write my own 1250chars signature on 347 rows?

vBulletins Signature Cache is still buggy. Once you edit your signature, all of your NEW posts will have your signature in them.
All of your prior posts... you will have to "Advanced Edit" and check the "Show my Signature" checkbox.

there are certain limitations on junior member accounts to reduce the amount of spam in the forum
though I'm not familiar with any details posting urls is one of them and I would wager creating a sig is another
after a certain amount of posts that problem should resolve itself
cheers

Looks like I have some work to get to, hehe.
Yes, certain limitations are set in place against new users to combat spammers, including not being able to post urls or have a signature. I believe this restriction was removed once you reached 10 posts, so I would check this again and let me know if you still have restrictions in place
Im good now.
Excellent, glad to hear
Well,i see on the end of the page,the members who are online at that particular moment...cant we make it forum specific???i mean this would help members to see who is online in their respective forum and thus,if there are questions,we can PM that without wasting much of a time...this would also help the forums be more friendly and helpful....the Members Online tool is a good idea,but it doesnt really reveal as to which forum the member belongs to...also,hunting for a green spot along side the names in the threads becomes tedious and time consuming...
I'm guessing it would add a performance overhead to the page load times. Not many people visit the index.
It's up to the admins whether or not this get's changed though.

Well it could always be made an option that is disabled by default. That way only users who really would like the ability would see it (it could be coded in such a way that there would be no wasted resources used if disabled). Personally I would like to see this and some donation-users only features. I think it would be a great way to add services while covering overhead prices.
$Not many people visit the index.$
when you mark all forums as read your go to index..
please hide this featuare.. ..online user.. for my an normal user is unusable.

I was just thinking of a sort of buzzer (with a chat option) to get someone attention, for now if you have a conversation with another member you always have to refresh your page to see if you have an pm.

Is it possible to allow free positioning of icons anywhere on the homescreens?

well, it's actually a request from me, and i was hoping for a discussion between devs on possibly removing the grid on homescreens that locks icons into place. that way we can have free positioning anywhere on the homescreen without the icons snapping into place.

Having this option would be really sweet but I am not sure how possible it would be. What are you thinking for moving the icons? Maybe someone has a tweak that would be more feasible for positioning the icons

Folks have two options when visiting a thread:
Option 1
Provide helpful and constructive repsonses ... not "use search", "use google", "wrong forum", etc.
Option 2
If a member is not inclined to follow Option 1 ... then move on!
If a member has posted in the incorrect forum, report the thread with a recommendation as to where it should be moved to.
As moderators, we spend countless hours having to clean up threads like this instead of working on our own forum contributions. As a fellow XDA member, help us by reducing the amount of off-topic, trolling, and flamming responses.

Yay Q&A 10char
Title says it all really, I was just interested in what all the different ranks you can have are, and what the requires are to get them, for example how does one become a recognised developer?
I'm assuming one becomes a recognized developer by developing something and getting recognized for it...
No kidding.... but there must be either a script or a way someone decides if you are or not
Sent from my Desire S using XDA App
there is a application, a committee and MANY posts about it on the portal (there was one today), and in the various 'About XDA' threads.
not being able to search is a good sign you wouldnt be accepted.
might want to check out the new user guide in my sig to find your way around the site and learn where to find the info you want.

And besides the main question was what ranks are there, the recognised developer was just a example!
Sent from my Desire S using XDA App
I have found the search functions (especially in the app) significantly lacking. And *gasp* God forbid anyone ask a question twice! It's like mortal and eternal sin to not search. Don't know what I'd rather see: better search, or a little tolerance.

Yes I am pretty sure ranks like member and all that is based off the amount of posts you make. If I am correct junior member is 0-29 post, member is 30-99 posts, and senior member is 100+ posts
Form
There's a form
Check these

Well most of us do understand the rules. But to post a LONGER argumentative answer, rather than the right answer is unproductive of everyone's time. Maybe XDA should just flat out delete threads that were already answered instead of OPs constantly telling noobs to search and to carry on the thread longer than needed.
So.To answer your question... (16 words or fewer)
0 to 29 posts - Junior Member
30 to 99 posts - Member
100 + posts - Senior Member
What you already know is also listed below which is...
Anyone other user title such as "developer" or "contributor" has to "apply" or be "Granted" the title based off of what they do. ie. roms, kernels, themes, etc.

And replying to posts that are 3yrs old, productive?!? Thanks anyway, Good to Go! (14 words or fewer)
Are there any forum rules for signatures, i.e. covering size, animation, content? I couldn't see any listed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726334 but I know other forums that have such rules.
The content should be in accordance to the forum rules. There's no hard limit for the size, but if it's too large it'll be removed. A sensible limit is 300-400px in height. Animations are fine as long as they're not too distracting or epilepsy inducing.
So basically it's fine as long as it doesn't distract from the main thread.

Fastest way is to report one of the members posts then just say the Sig size is the reason for the report.

Thanks for this. I think it would be good to explicitly state some rules for signatures in http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81 so that there's no argument.
Also, it would be great if it was possible to hide signatures from particular users. I know we can hide all signatures, and I know we can ignore individual users, but I'm asking for the ability to hide signatures from just some users, while still seeing the rest of their post. Bonus points if this could be further finessed into a choice between "Hide this particular signature from this user" (which would cause the signature to be unhidden if the user edited it) and "Hide all future signatures from this user".
