Wiki Vandalism

Hi All,
There has recently been a "session" of vandalism on the wiki, here is a short guide on what you can do to help:
1. Tell someone who cares
a.Mention on my talk page on the wiki, or contact a wiki admin (I'm the only one whose really active at the moment.)
b.Reply to this thread and post the details (I am subscribed to it) but if I'm unavailable then you can click the Report Post button (
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
) to notify all forum moderators / administrators immediately to the problem.
2. It's a wiki, you can help out too
By clicking on Recent Changes in the wiki you can see all the changes that have occured over the past few days.
Click on Diff next to the Edit that caused the vandalism.
Ensure the changes you want to revert are shown in the diff and that no valid information will be lost.
If so, click on Undo (found above the right hand pane of the "diff" view).
Again, confirm the Undo will not remove anything bad.
Click save page.
If a page needs deleting, put a Delete Tag on it.
Any problems please feel free to ask me, here, via PM or on the wiki.
Thanks
Dave

Thanks Dave. I've encountered such "vandalism" on this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Developing a graphics driver for Windows Mobile
As you can see from the history, a user called "ramair" completely erased the contents of the page, on November 3rd, 2009.
I've restored the page to it's original glory.

Thanks for the tip.
I cannot see any malicious intent in the user doing this, so I think it's best to let it slide. Accidents can happen, I know someone binned the HomePage the other day by mistake .

Perhaps the option of everybody can edit should be controlled, just as to post in marketplace member will need certain number of posts or time being an active member to edit Wiki

Wiki's are meant for everyone, anyone can help, even if it's just changing a spelling or fixing a link. And just as anyone can break then, anyone can fix them.

Wasn't sure whether or not to just delete the page (I have no idea who, or what, Monban is) so I thought I would post it here. Linky

Grindr for Android url

Admin note: link removed in response to take-down notice from makers of this product. Please refrain from reposting. Thank you for your cooperation.

Very cool. Thanks!

Installed, went to set up profile, program force-closes every time I click "edit name." As much as I like Grindr, I think I'm going to uninstall this.
[before anyone asks, I did fix permissions and restart the phone.]
J~

is this what i think it is?

If it doesn't force close, it just says there's an error.

Ahaha, just what I needed. Not! Lol I should prob Google a app first before blindly downloading

Yes it is, there a problem sir? :]

I've been running this for a couple of weeks. I have the same bug in that I can't edit any of the free text to add a name, headline etc. Chat and pics seem to work ok though. I have a funny feeling that grindr are trying to censor information about this alpha as nothing seems to show up about it on twitter etc.
Does anyone know - or can anyone find out where the settings are stored for profile - are they on the phone or on the grindr server? If on the phone perhaps a config file could be hacked.

When it doesn't force close, I can't get it to even sign on to their network. I'll have to stick with scruff for now
I have a feeling settings are stored on their server, since they were working on letting you use the same profile on multiple devices.

You know, you could just NOT say anything. Much better for everyone
I'm not gay, but intolerance is just so ****ing wrong, PERIOD. You have a right to free speech in america, but maybe you should sit the next few rounds out.
To the mods that see this, I apologize. I had to.

To the website developers

Please remove the force IE8 tag from the site. It is making a lot of features go a bit crazy. The edit box cursor does not like to move over in some cases. Also IE9 keeps saying that it is blocking some javascript to prevent cross domain scripting. I think there is a rogue advertisement or something.
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=8" />

Why are you still using Internet Explorer?

Why are you trolling? There is nothing wrong with Internet Explorer.

No seriously. I'm not trolling. I'm genuinely asking why you are still on IE. Is there a specific reason? i'm asking because basically every other browser is better (UI, user experience, security)wise.

Because from a security standpoint Internet Explorer 9 is safer than the other browsers. Do some research into SSL spoofing on firefox as well as cross site scripting attacks.

Alright! Another IE9 brother.
And we've sent this up the chain to our server admin.

Chrome? Too used to it already

I use IE mostly for compatibility, I know, sounds strange but most of the important sites I go to work best in IE.
Otherwise I use firefox which is nearly as good in that respect and better in others.
Chrome I found to be a huge resource hog, and Opera often fails to display pages properly, either getting the layout wrong or failing to show images hosted on my webserver used in my sig.

Although unlikely, our server admin is testing this right now to make sure it doesn't break any other versions of IE.

Thank you. I switched to the x64 version of ie9 awhile back and it is great.

Which quickreply do you mean? You mentioned three ways for accessing XDA so I am not sure which is the problem. Does normal reply work?

A little different but Quick Reply from this thread or any thread stopped working for me around Monday 5/16/16 on my Nexus6p and my PC on the XDA website from my browsers. Also, I can't "Click to Expand" who thanks the post? Furthermore, if I hit MARK FORUM READ it gives a vbulletin message "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid." Also, I can not attach a picture so the issues list grows? I have been accessing the site the same way without issues for years till Monday 5/16/16. Not sure what's going on and note I always use the 2013 beta theme. thanks
Update: turning off "Remember form data" in the browser resolved all above issues!
