THIS. How do I stop this? I've scanned my network, and installed the "Privacy Pass" addon and I'm STILL getting this stupid message.

There are some threads about this.
XDA is under constant attack from spammers and the like.
I believe this happens more often if you are editing long posts, try to avoid doing that.
XDA is moving to a different forum platform, soon like in a few days.
Some security measures may be relaxed after the change.

@GuyInDogSuit I know it doesn't help or will satisfy you but even I as a moderator occasionally get the captchas pending on my action. @sd_shadow explained the reasons well. And I apologise but I can't tell you how it will look like after the transition to Xenforo.

Yeah this usually happens when we try to edit very long posts. In the meantime of the transition to XenForo, a workaround to avoid captcha is to split long posts in 2 shorter posts, like explained here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/labs-t3241866/post83621087

Overquoting

Is it me or a lot of people are absolutely clueless that it is rude to quote an entire post (possibly with pictures) consisting from hundreds of lines of text and reply with a smile or a few words? Shouldn't this be against the rules? It is on other forums.
This makes some topics completely unreadable.

My pet hate is the post that says "trying it now". Can't they wait a short while and post once they have tried it?? However, unless the member is a serial offender, I would not be making a big deal about it.

Whilst I do occasionally say "Trying it now" I then update that post after I have tested whatever it is... My personal hate regarding this is the "It looks nice" type statement when the person isn't even going to bother trying it! Especially when they quote a ridiculous string of text!!!
Would it be possible to alter the way quotes behave such that they do not include images? Quotes currently do not include quotes (you can't quote a quote) so could this be done with the

Well... It's an annoyance, and pages load quite slowly when someones quoted a lot of images...
I wouldn't say it's common...but when a reply happens (like to the 1st post of a cooks new rom with 15 screen pics), then it's a real pain!

The reason why i use xda only with adblocker

Hello,
in these days, i flashed a rom - and forgot to install an adblocker.
the aggressive advertising is a reason for me to use adblockers, and many other only visit xda with adblocker.
a friend of mine (who had not blocked the 3rd party services. at his provider, has now an abbonement, where he pays
€.4. 99 A WEEK!
look the attached Screenshot and tell me what you think. plplease, admins, end aggressive advertising - you only will have more users with adblocker.
the following Screenshot is from a visit at xda. no fake?. translate the text in english and you'll get it that that advertising makes users like me and
my friend angry. VERY ANGRY!
note: with a simple click on that page, and you have a DAMN Abonnement!
my friend has activated his lawyer to get out of the abbonement. overthink your advertising!

that ad pop out without any warning.
USE ADBLOCKERS.
I'm sure the admins will remove this provider from the ad network soon. Thanks for the detailed description and screen shot.
the provider is "W2K Mobile" - and already tv programmes tried to stop em with reports on tv. just google "w2k abofalle" and translate the found sites... surprise...
XDA ADMINS, OVERTHINK YOUR STRATEGY.
I'm pretty sure the admins are aware and trying to deal with this but I'll raise the issue on your behalf.
Thanks.

[Q] Where can I find the search field?

AAAAHHHHHHH!
Before asking stupid questions as a NOOB I should first search the forms. But it seems the search field had vanished after some database maintenance (at least, that is what it said).
Is this a stupid question or what?!
Nope, not stupid. Has vanished for me also...
I think they've taken it offline due to high server load issues or something like that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php (there is a note that it is disabled for the time being).
How about the search widget?
Pretty damn interesting question
Haha

Why not use the Android app.
The search button won't vanish.
Though it's also not giving the results
Seems like a torture. I managed to search via Google. Try typing xda along with the search terms. May help.

If your using the new theme then it may be in the collapsible side bar. Otherwise it's a bug due to some backend server jiggery pokery.

FINALLY got my upadate!!

Good news this morning!! I was disconnecting my watch from the charger and there was a popup saying the update is ready to install..
AW2.0 IS ROLLING OUT GUYS
Are you serious or are you just trying to troll us? Well, if you are telling the truth, i might check if AW 2.0 have popped up on my watch too.
Just post a screenshot with the version...
As this is your first post to XDA, I'm guessing your trolling. Hope I'm wrong though ?
Most probably he is a troll, no updates on the horizon and I doubt there will be soon
Troll! Someone delete this thread!
Smh
I've reached out to the OP to post a pic of the updated version, otherwise the thread will be closed.

I heard rumors that they might activate the nfc chip... But can you confirm the bump up in resolution and hardware buttons?
Can't wait.
OMG, close this thread already.
I heard it downloads more RAM and it will turn you into a power ranger if you strike a pose and say "it's morphin time."
whoopee got my updated as well, now full NFC, can now put a SIM card inside and it made me a cuppa tea today......why is this fricking thread still here...???

dark side theme

I'm on a factory unlocked note10+ with verizon service. Is there a way I can put the star wars theme on my phone?
You need to flash the firmware that contains such theme, there is a thread regarding this topic

You say that, but even searching with the proper search terms brings up a result that is exactly what was linked to you.
Perhaps it is not the search that is at fault but the user performing the search, or lack there of.

Ok, but now that my phone has installed Android 10 & One UI 2 the theme I installed doesn't work. I didn't flash firmware, just created the theme. Is there a process to get the theme to work?
