It is a sad day for this community.
In a series of mishaps and mistakes, best characterized as the sysadmin equivalent of a perfect storm, we lost more than 3 weeks of our database.
It all started when we decided to move posts to a whole new system of forums. In that process we screwed up. But we had made a backup just before, so we decided to go back to that, dropping the screwed-up database. Then it turned out that the most recent backup we made was truncated bacause of a memory limit, so it was unuseable.
This dropped us back to an older backup, which in this case was Over three weeks old!!!
This means that we lost:
All forum postings since October 4th
All new member registrations since October 4th
Records of donations since October 4th (this is recoverable...)
All News items (recoverable too)
If you have any important postings still on disk, in browser cache, or anywhere else, we'd like you to repost them.
Re-working the forum structure will still hapen, sometime later today, and without any further dramatic losses.
I apologize for this event, and we'll work even harder to make sure something like this will never happen again.
index.php was renamed to index-f***.php ?
thus when i go to forum.xda-developers.com i see a directory structure ?
Unlucky for some
ahhh **** if lost all my previous post thing on the left hand side tooo
am i the only one who in the process lost all memory of what happend since oct 4 ?
That are really bad news.
I realized, that also the PM-Part have been gone. :-(
This was really a great bull****.
Also not nice to here, that you have so much work....
I think there are some more important things to do....
If I or anyone else could help you, just inform us....

That's sweet of you. Right now if all of us just keep posting good stuff and being positive then like any strong community, we'll use this setback to become stronger and better than ever before.
Hard work ahead, expect more (and this time positive) changes.
Maybe the forgot to swap the spectrums tape over

Time to start a new slate
By chance, ...
...yesterday night I launched a full synchronization of the home page, with a 3-level links deep detail, to check the forum during a flight this morning.
Would that help? :roll:
OH MY GOD !!!
More Power..... !!!
Sorry to hear that, I was really surprised when I was checking up the forum, all threads are old. I was looking for the screen rotation thread to install it in my xda.
Isn't there any way to recover the last 3 weeks data?
Let us know if we can do any thing, you have all our support.
You have all my support
It's sad... but we would go other this...
Let us know what we can do!

Good news
Some threads will be partially reappearing: itsme is working on a script that will use the Google-cache as our backup. Not all will be well, but stay tuned for news...
@ abc
Please restart SRS thread!!!
Arrrgh I've lost over 130 posts
Oh well, that's life I guess - chin up and all that!
Hi all ... i'm so sorry to hear this ... it's the live...
Anyway i just save a page "PDA2K Rom Update from clubimate_recovered" all msg rom first page ... i hope this will help a little 0.0001%

Just noticed that if I attempt to access www.xda-developers.com I get your message about data being lost and to try again later, however if I use the link to the front page which I have saved in favorites, I am able to access the board. Will this stop people accessing the board from a results list in Google or similar??
If I click on the link in this text I get this......
Oh ****....
We're having problems, and we may have lost some data. Please check back later.. :shock:
I want to just say thank you all for all the hard work you do that sometimes goes unpaid or even a simple thank you. I want to say thank you for making our phones everything that the corp greed machine doesn't want to work for.
THANK YOU all Especially you Cyanogen
I second that- Thanks to all you hard working devs- Chris

Yeah
Can I fourth this? I go on the forums everyday. All time reader and i usually never post but yeah, Thanks Devs. I appreciate it a lot.
Big thanks to all! I could have never rooted without this forum. The others out there don't even come close
I'd just like to say I love this site!

Ditto, and a big thank you to all the devs. for doing an outstanding job with the roms and themes and apps and all that good stuff.
My hat's off to you gentlemen.
Id like to say thanx to Cyanogen, Drizzy, all other notable people who have optimized Hero as well Cupcake and DONUT...
also want to say thanx to the community, keep at it!
And lastly, not tooting my horn (really), thanx to the theme developers and all of the great ideas and concepts that turn to life on here!!
A Big Thank You
I am a fresh nub to this!!! Ive only been reading this forum for a week now but have learned sooo much about my phone and the things it can do! i knew NOTHIN at all about this. So thank u to all the members here u guys are all awesome especially: Drizzy, Manup, Armyranger251, Dude, Haykuro, Stericson, and Beagz. Thanks for all the knowledge!!! I hope to make themes too one day soon!
May as well join in, Big Thanks to all the Devs hard work! To think I almost purchased a certain apple product before I found this site! Thanks! I've never looked back.
I understand not wanting to "devalue" the Thanks feature. I get that. But consider this scenario:
You get a brand new phone (like, my new LG G3!). You need a guide to how to hack that specific device, which may need a guide just to figure out which guide to use if there are carrier specific models! You need to figure out how to unlock the bootloader, which requires rolling back the firmware, using a flashing tool, installing a new image, etc. Then you need to root. Then you need a recovery environment. Then you need a ROM, and perhaps a kernel. And some software.
You can see where this is going. That first day, you might want to thank 20 different people for their contributions! These are legitimate thanks, you're just doing more on XDA that day then you usually are.
I really don't see why 8 is the limit in these scenarios. Why not increase it like 20? Still limited, but more realistic on "busy" days like this.
I presume that one of the main reasons why the limit is unlikely to be increased is due to what you already stated - devaluing the Thanks feature.
The Thanks count on people's profiles is, in my opinion, kinda irrelevant as is because it doesn't help gauge a members helpfulness/quality of work etc. That's proven by those members who post junk and can still get a bunch of Thanks on that post. Increasing the limit will increase the chances of that happening and will therefore mean the Thanks meter on members profiles will count for even less.
The limit has been 8 for quite a while and will probably stay that way because generally all 8 won't be used in a single day anyway. There are, of course, exceptions (just like the situation you described or perhaps you'd feel the need to use more if you hang around in some of the theme threads for example) but you could always use your available Thanks and then Thank the other posts the following day. I realize that may not exactly be ideal but is certainly a way around.
Using a mobile app to access the forums will give you more to use, so that's probably a more viable option for you, rather than waiting for a different day to hand them out.
What he said. Almost no one even pays attention to the thanks meter any more, only new members even bother with it. It was made pointless long ago.
@KidCarter93 @zelendel
Well, then, in that light, what would you suggest for me (and other XDA users) to do:
Continue giving people "Thanks!" when they have earned them even though nobody really cares about them anymore; or
Stop giving people "Thanks!" altogether because they are useless and have no value.
Which do you think is the best plan?
I think the thanks is a nice touch. I try to donate to people whenever possible. Some people don't want, or won't accept donations though. I'm sure those people still enjoy being thanked.
I think if the way the older members and site staff feel about Thanks is as indicated above, than the feature should just be removed.
Else, I think the limit should be removed. It's a quick change. I don't really see the harm in a post getting too many thanks.
I have left tabs open in my browser from yesterday, for the people I need to thank still. I still can't thank them because the time hasn't rolled around yet.

that's maybe 8 thanks right there in your OP (S OFF then root, recovery, ROM, guides), and it's a one time deal... Also that phone is the extreme case...

I'd say continue to use them as you have been considering they still serve a purpose. They were added to the site so that it would cut down on posts simply saying "Thanks", thus cluttering the threads with posts which add no value to the threads. In that respect, the Thanks button has done it's job effectively.
The thing is, even though we've said that not many people really care about the Thanks, it's more the Thanks count which is irrelevant. A lot of members still like to receive Thanks as it's, generally, a quick and easy way for the member to know that they've been able to help someone out in one way or another.
I don't hand out many Thanks these days considering I don't often need help with anything and therefore wouldn't need to Thank someone for helping me out. But when I have been helped out, I will certainly give them a Thank considering that's what it's used for.

As mentioned above, it's not necessarily the Thanks button that I have a problem with but more the Thanks count (purely because in a lot of cases it leads to people wanting to get a lot of Thanks, for no real reason, simply so their Thanks meter can look more impressive as they can "beat" other members total Thanks.
That being the case, I still think the limit shouldn't be removed considering it can be a vague (sometimes more vague than others) way to gauge how helpful a member has been over their time as a member. The only part of the Thanks system which I'd like to see removed is the Thanks meter, but as it's still intact there's likely a reason the admins have got for leaving it as is.

The best thanks you can give anyone is by learning and sharing what you learned. Many developers are more excited and happy to see someone that took what they learned and then turned around and gave back to the community.
If it makes you feel better then by all means. Continue to give thanks.

I am in pretty much the same boat - I mostly help other people nowadays, very rarely do I need or request help. However, I do generally use up all of my Thanks per day on posts that, for example, I don't want/need to reply to but I do want the member to know I saw it and liked it.
So, that's my two cents on the matter. Thanks again!
EDIT - @zelendel, thank you, too, for your sage advice. :good:

You can use your next days thanks 24 hours after the previous days. So if you use your first Thank at 10AM, your first one the next day couldn't be used until 10AM

It's very polite and kind to use the Thanks-Button.
Active users maybe need x 20 - every day!
In my opinion, this limit makes low-sense...
...maybe just for low-activity users.
And i think, that this limit should be removed or increased to 20 or so for Senior Members / Higher.
All the best!

I understand that it's polite to use the Thanks button but there's still no need for nowhere near that many.
Even as a moderator we don't have that many available to us - we get 15.
I'm not as active on here as I once was, mainly due to working long shifts, but even when I was extremely active on here I wouldn't go through my allotted 8 per day. There's only been 1 or 2 situations where 8 wasn't enough. In those instances, I'd asked for help with an issue I was having (therefore I was thanking the posts that were helping me solve my issue) and I also thanked a couple of posts which didn't help me but would help a lot of other members and was a great resource. All I did in those situations was either wait a couple of hours for a Thank to become available again or would use the XDA app.
While my thanking habits are clearly different to yours, changes are only generally made to XDA if it will benefit the majority not a minority. I'm sure there are a ton of people who feel that 8 isn't enough but it's fine for the majority of members here. Also, increasing the limit to such an amount would likely lead to people asking/begging for more Thanks and would, in turn, devalue the Thanks count more so than it already is.

8 Thanks is mayybe a little bit too low.
The 10-Post Rule isn't a big problem because 10 posts are easy-peasy
But the limit to 8 thanks is a problem (not a big one)
I don't want to sound stupid right here, but if i reach the Limit, i make a list of post which i still want to thank :laugh:
You can thank somebody at the next day, if you're not able to use the thanks button right now.
...but why don't do it RIGHT NOW instead of that day?
Most of the users on XDA aren't Thank-Spammers.
There are more thank-friendly users that give a thanks for very small and big and useful posts (i am also one of these) but there are also members, who do this only for very useful posts.
Using the thanks button is just polite.
And if somebody knows the 8-Thanks-Limit, he/she's possibly saving on thanks.
I am not someone who begs for thanks, but it's very rare to find a member which gets thanks for useless things like thank me and i'll thank your post.
What is the limit actually for?
What do we want to prevent with this limit?
And why is the limit just 8?
I'm completely satisfied with my thanks-count of 39

You can say that again!
Also 15 is very low for a Forum Moderator i think.
How about Administrators like @svetius etc.?
What thanks limit have they actually got?
20?
I don't have anything agianst XDA but when i came new to XDA, i thought that anybody's count of thanks were unlimited!
A bad scenario for members who die, if they get no thanks is the limit of INCOMING Thanks. But this limit does not exist!
...and also - there's no Post Limit / Login per day Limit / Quote or Meniton users-per-day Limit. But a limit of thanks that you can give per day.
Hrm... let's increase to 20.
What problems will come, if we incrase to 20?
fortunately, there's no Dislike/Thumbs-down button for posts :laugh:
@Hannah Stern, I believe we all know and respect your personal opinion about a larger Thanks limit, but in all honesty, because of how already devalued Thanks are (i.e., some of the best devs have less than 1,000, while other people who make junk have upward of 5,000), I'd recommend just Thanking the people who you want to Thank unyil you reach your limit, and then just forget about Thanking people any more until the next time you can. Don't spend all your time worrying about how so-and-so won't get what he/she deserves unless I Thank their post - that is just unnecessary anxiety. Go with the flow, and try your best not to worry, as it's highly unlikely that the admins are going to raise the limit.

What problems will occur, if the Numbers get increased?

I'll be honest thanks count are really pointless. Only new members even pay attention I know 90% of the devs don't look at the number or even use them. I have even been asked by a few for a way to disable it completely.

In reality, there is pretty much none. I just consider them a fun feature - not really anything of actual value. By the way, we actually are using it properly - the limit is the "proper" use of Thanks, according to the admins.

The main problem would be that members have even more opportunities to Thank people who often don't need or want excessive Thanks. 8 is a liberal number in this case IMHO - I mean, would you be happier if it were 5?

5 Per day is horribly / terribly low.
Why don't increase the Thank's limit, if it's just "a useless fun feature" ?

To tell you the truth, I don't really know or care that much - my inability to Thank people after 8 a day is not very high on my priority list. If you want to really try, you can respectfully PM @svetius and explain your dilemma.
From my point of view, this topic is closed - I don't need to post here again. I've stated my personal opinion, answered your questions, and am ready to move on.

Dear friends,
After having mourned my X722, I decided to continue the adventure with Leeco, because I think it's a good brand and that smartphones are good qualities.
However, I was not going to have a second time and my choice is this time on the X720! He is currently on the road or in the air, between singapore and France !!!
Qfil is available for this one. A majority of the available roms are really dedicated for this phone.
Thank you to all those who live these forums, which offer new Rom.
Flashing it's a game, and sometimes there are risks.
Let us never forget that these are only "objects", and that the notion of life and death for these "objects" is relative.
Ps: if anyone can give me the right procedure to unlock my X720 .... may be soulfly 999's solution is good?
See you soon.

Yes the X720 is a much better phone. Because it doesn't have all of the little issues that the X722 has and unbricking is usually pretty easy. I wrote a guide for unbricking the X720 and X727, and have successfully unbricked several.
As far as unlocking the bootloader, its is easy with the X720. just enable developer options, usb debugging, oem unlock, and then use the All in One tool or ADB to install root, and Twrp.
You know what to do from there.
When you get the phone, PM me and I will send you my notes for step by step setup.

Thank you Tsongming for this attention.
When I bought the X722 I wanted to save a few euros. It was not wise ....
The prices of the X720 are really amazing, especially when you see its capabilities. I bought 165 euros and it's just ecxellent.
Thanks for your help unlock my phone. I will tell you when I would receive it.
Thanks Tony.
