Dear admins/website developers,
It would be a really nice feature to be able to rate a post.
-1 off topic/offensive
0 off topic/irrelevant
+1 on topic
+2 on topic/informative
+3 on topic/must read
Something like that. They use it on the dutch website tweakers.net and it's really handy.
By filtering out the off topic posts. You have a much cleaner view of the thread.
The user is free to choose the level of rating. For example I wan't to read the "thank you's".
I set the viewing level to 0 offtop/irrelevant.
But if I would be a developer I would set it to +1 or +2, so I could easily read up on new developements users have made or requested.
Ofcourse the rating of the posts has to be done by users themselves.
And they themself have to be rated as well (their credibilty).
If one user A rates a post -1, but five other users rate that post +1. The credibilty of user A goes down.
I think this is a really nice way to clean up a thread.
Popular rom threads get spammed so fast with "thank you's" and/or questions, that there's hardly keeping up with the actual developing discussion, bug reports, fixes, etc.
Cheers,
Daan
If a post needs to be removed, report it. Mods are generally very quick to fix those things.

I know but I don't think it's appropriate to report a "thank you" post
What I meant was, viewing a thread on different levels.
Normal, informative and developement. Or somethng like that.
Now that I think about it you could indeed skip the -1 and just report offensive posts to the mods.
Mods will still have to remove it. Not a big deal ofcourse, probably takes 2 minutes.
But with the system above that is no longer necessary. Users become the mods in a way.

Daan

Nothing wrong with reporting "Thanks" posts in my opinion. I do it all the time. Dev threads get cluttered up enough without having newbies clutter it up with "Thanks" or "ETA?".

That's exactly what I mean.
Wouldn't it be nice if you, the user, could mod the post.
That way you won't have those annoying cluttered up threads anymore.
The posts are still there, but you filter them out to your own needs.
I think the biggest issue with your idea (which I like, btw) is the server overheads. You're basically asking for every single thread to have its own dedicated view. I've seen similar types of features in sites like Stack (I use Stack Overflow quite a lot) and it works very well for them, but they're not forums - they're purely Q&A sites and they discourage discussion. While that difference is not particularly pertinent to your suggestion I do think you're thinking of this site more along their terms.
The mods are there for a reason, and as tedious as it may be, cleaning threads is one of their tasks. Just report things that are out of place.

A quick fix would be to use the XDA Toolbar for Chrome. You can collapse posts, sigs, and images. It's probably going to be more to your liking than us telling you that XDA isn't going to implement this feature.
[20-Dec-11] XDA Toolbar for Chrome v1.7
I agree with the report button... Cause a mod can review it to see if it needs to be removed.. If they did it the way your talkin about.. Things could get messy since some new guys or someone wanted to be not a nice person could just down rate your thread for no reason at all... Which does happen from time to time.. I have no idea why when a bunch of others love it.

New users should not be able to mod posts yet.
There should be a rating system for the users themselves, as stated in the first post.
If user A rates posts -1 while 5 others rate +1, then eventually user A won't be able to mod posts anymore.
Well, I guess I'll have to use the report button more often and more aggressively.
It was just an idea.

Whahaha, I can see the connection.
Nice work on the toolbar!
kind of similar request: how about keeping it simpler, and have the ability to filter a thread so it shows only "thanked" posts? I think this would be extremely useful, and although I know very little of programming, it shouldn't be difficult? This way for example if I'm in a custom Android ROM thread, instead of searching or reading through posts, you just filter out the questions and other "less useful" posts and get straight to the answers or the more useful/interesting ones.
Sorry if this had been requested before (or if there already is the ability to do it..... ) but just saw this thread and thought I'd jump in

The post rating system only exists in the Galaxy Nexus forum at the moment and has been there a while now.
I'm not too sure about it though because I figured there would be buttons to click to rate the post up or down.
I couldn't understand how simply showing that message (one in screenshot) would solve anything.

If your Wm6 rom doesn't have smart dialing, pls install
WM5 HTC Smartdialer cab (Extracted from Hermes)
2. WM6(LVSW 19/05/07) will not be published,
but you can still get it!
If you want to have this version, you need to request by replying the post of my forum
http://www.hkppc.com/bbs/viewthread.php?tid=7133 (leaving your email address and request).
Also you must agree not to distribute by yourself (e.g. posting to another forum). It is for personal use only. If you can follow this, I will send this to you by email.

More details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1509945&postcount=47
Also, different roms will need redesign the layout. (Or else, the number will not match!)But it is easy for me to do so! However, I will not publish them in free of charge now. For those who are polite, friendly, sincere and rational guys, I will still extend my helping hand to them and treat them as my friends. Just like in this post of our forum

For those who are childish, silly, rude in manner, I just neglect and treat them merely as "spam".
Finally, I need to say Millions thanks to those who are sincerely support me and even economically support my dailpad design. "You" are really my friends and I am willing to serve you by all means.
It looks great mate!...will give a tray for this dial pad

The problem with registering with any new site is that within 1 week of registering on it (no matter what type of site it is), is that your spam content seems to increase and people then have access to your IP (which leads to trojans, attacks, etc.).
I, like most people, like to keep as much of my information for myself. And, that whole attack thing, it just sucks.
I never got good marks for sharing in grade school.
That being said, I personally am glad that you have shared this with us. At least with the mirrors listed, you know where your file is being distributed. It is not like someone put it on emule and you have no earthly idea where it is.

When you say "All rights" are you talking about the:

The Artwork including icons?
About the legal stuff:
If you are giving this "software" away for free, under which license is your work protected?
Can we have a copy of such license, if any?

Well, I know I'm rather noob but maybe someone more clever could think it out...
We have many attempts to flash our devices with "white screen effect".
Some of us reports that have bad blocks, but in different areas. Think that mayby this is way with no way out.
Symptom remains the same always. White screen.
Important is that in fact - system works good (eg filesystem, core, etc...). After taping a screen with stylus - we can calibrate it and go on.
Then we have today screen with no background, a telephone pad with no background, media player with no background... In fact it's such annoying that we can't use our system.
We can even use our camera and record a video or take a picture, but we can not see it.
But not always... if we use "full screen" mode - we can see our films... - strange? isn't it?
Maybe system after flash have some "very small" defect concerning missing ability to scaling down bitmaps or something?
Maybe some stupid modification of graphical engine of our phone after flash will result in getting fully healthy system?
Maybe someone wiser will think it out?

Building a dialpad is quite difficult, i fully understand the feeling of xelashiu.
Thanks alot for this dialer I really like it
xelashiu, you are doing an excellent job with these dialpads, and it is completely within your right to restrict others from mirroring your works. However, you must make it clear on your website and/or in your posts what rights are given to people in regard to your works. If it is just a download without any license info, people will usually assume "public domain" which means anyone can do anything with it. I am not saying that people should assume that, nor am I saying that it's a correct assumption. What I am saying is that you should tell people what they can and can't do with your works, otherwise they will assume total freedom.
Please do not let this incident discourage you from making more of your great dialpads.
Hi xda-dev,
I just thought if we could have us thread owners to have a standard button design for a specific thread that we can use/link in our blog post or websites?
Just a thought ..
And, while on the subject: Is an RSS feed going to be made avail in new version ?

I think that's a great idea. But could you clarify: Are you speaking of the same basic concept on news sites where various social-media icons are avail to auto-repost? (twitter, digg, etc)... Or do you mean a button that performs the action of copying the thread's link & title to the clipboard, then being able to paste it anywhere on your own site, manually, into a blog post etc?

SLIGHTLY OFF-TOPIC:
I'm WAY behind the curve in using twitter, and how it integrates with what seems like 1000 different twitter-based apps... And twitpics, i'm even less clear on how and WHEN to use it, and if it's used WITH twitter, or a parallel service to twitter for just sharing photos in real time.
ON-TOPIC
So I'm not clear if your posting that image on twitpic is literally an example what you want to be able to do, or are you saying there are apps for either phone or desktop computer that will generate a template graphic as well a specific thread title linked? So, in your picture, is the thread title generated as part of the graphic itself? Or is the thread title displayed in HTML on top of the template graphic?
I am really confused but I like the way it looks! please explain further...
Okay, so now I see this, in your prior sig file.. and I see that it is a graphic that gets generated with the title of the thread rendered as part of the image... so i just have never seen these used -- but I love the idea...
So for this example here:
tell me how that gets generated -- at http://www.twitstamp.com ? and then when you apply that generated graphic, how do you also code the link to the thread, in this example?
even more confused and feeling so behind the times !
well whaddayaknow -- this looks like a pretty cool web app ! ---
so are you speaking of ...
(1) You're here at XDA-devs, and you're on, for example, this very thread...
(2) You'd like to see a simple small graphical button, as part of "thread tools" or somewhere within the thread page layout, that when you click on it, it grabs the Title of the thread, and the link, copies it to pasteboard...
(3) then you go to a site like, for example, TwitStamp.com, and insert what's on the pasteboard into the "input box" at Twitstamp...
(4)... thereby generating a graphic with link that can be embedded anywhere on a webpage etc, exactly as you would grab embed code from a YouTube video, or from a photo at photobucket.com, stuff like that?
(5) Is this kind of small-file-size "picture status" thing being rapidly used as a way to post updates, but using twitpics? So that after you generate the graphic, you post it to twitpics? And those who subscribe to your feeds can see "oh cool, that sounds like an interesting thread, i want that for my phone"... and so they would click on it and link to the thread here at XDA?
even more confused by all the permutations of pasting what where... hah hah.
Is this what you mean exactly, or is it close, or is this just one of many examples of what you are envisioning?
sounds & looks interesting....

I don't mean to sound angry, but you should really think before talking.
Search before posting. It's right there in the forum rules. You may call him "kind of a douche" if you like, but from our perspective this is spam.
At most, this is worthy of yet another reference to it in the Registry Tweaks thread. I could understand creating a new thread if you'd released a new app to automate it (because there totally aren't enough theming apps yet...) but even if this were a brand new tweak, it should have gone in the existing registry tweaking thread.
That said, I do appreciate your desire to help explain the exact steps. Just, please consider the most apropriate avenue for doing so.

Looks like you are a really smart boy
I don't think you guys understand. I was just trying to make a clear step by step guide to doing what i thought was a pretty cool tweak.
As you can see, I just recently migrated from android, and I'm loving windows phone so far. I guess the WP dev community is a bit different, and that's just something i'll have to learn to get used to.
That said, what do you think i should do next? Delete the thread? post it in a different forum?
Thanks for helping a WP noob out!
PS: the "for like a month" part was a bit exagerated. I only got my WP device 2 weeks ago
My inclination would just be to lock it and let it fall of the first page (I'm aware that posting this bumps it, but meh). I don't frequent the Adroid forums, but if they're cool with (or full of) people "discovering" a tweak (you can't even call it a hack; the registry editor itself is the hack, this is just one way to use it) and making a post in the OS-wide dev&hacking sub-forum... Oh, and then there's the fact that the registry tweak thread (which has been running for well over a year) shows up right away if you type the first three words of your subject line into the Search.
I've made this mistake before - come new to a community, figured something out, thought it was super-cool, and posted about it without checking if anybody was likely to benefit from my post. I've done that once, to be more specific. It's embarrassing, but no real harm done. This is probably the reason that actual newbies to the forum (as opposed to people in your position, with lots of posts in another section) aren't initially allowed to start threads in this section. It gives people time to learn how the forum works.
Take your lumps, let the thread die, and start seeing if you can build on what we already know. There are still lots of cool hacks and tweaks to be discovered within this OS. We do welcome newbies with cool new hacks, for sure. Just, please make sure it's actually new (for example, with anything relating to the registry, do a search on the relevant registry key). Also bear in mind that new threads in this section usually include apps or other simple ways to apply the hack (for example, not everybody can run WP7 Root Tools).
I honestly don't see the harm, and think you're all being a little douchy. This isn't just a place where the "regulars" come to pat each other on the back, there are plenty of us who had no idea such a thing was possible and would be (are) grateful for the post. I don't go digging through the registry on my own, because I know I'd break something. So this simple post showing me what to do and what it looks like is much appreciated.
What are you all worried about? That this one thread will bump your uber-super-awesome-cool thread off the first page? Give the guy a break. I've been checking out every interesting thread in this forum for 6 months and hadn't noticed someone posting this tweak in this way.
Nope theres assholes in this community too ! Im about to switch to Android altogether because of snobism of Microsoft (I cant blame Microsoft really) ,but like in the Android section xda has run out some of the best devs there was ,hell most of them arent even considered devs ,not sure why either, BTW that was a very clear and concise guide
There's no restrictions on size of signatures. 1 or 2 line signature is fine, but most of users write big essay here. Even big photos can be found in signature.
Signatures just make the thread ugly. They just reduce the value of screen real estate. And, they make the webpage heavy, too.
The Awkward Situation: The post is 1 line long, but signature is 100 lines long.
There must be restrictions applied to signature size. I think, user profile is great place to enter big details.
If not, atleast, allow users to hide all signatures with one click.

There's no restrictions on size of signatures. 1 or 2 line signature is fine, but most of users write big essay here. Even big photos can be found in signature.

This topic has been discused a number of times and the outcome is always the same, if you think someone has got a signature that is to big then you can report them. I feel that this will never change, as signatures sevrve a good purpose if used in the correct way, penalising everyone because some members go over the top with their Sig, i feel is a wronge way to go.
What s.d. said is correct. Also, you can hide all signatures under your Edit Options page. Technically you uncheck the box to display them, not "hiding" as such. If you use Chrome you can also use Archer's XDA toolbar to selectively hide signatures and more.

And it's that scale of size I believe the OP is referring to, and think any mod seeing sigs of that size should have a word. The irritance of seeing such signatures is on par with posts that have quoted 10 scroll posts to reply with one line.
Information like what phone, ROM, baseband one is using should be tucked under the username in posts, like how they categorise information in Personality Cafe. Signatures should be limited to a certain overall length. Oversized images should be automatically resized.

Possibly to the users screen size. I've got 1920x1080 display on my laptop as I suppose quite a lot of members do so what might be gigantic to some is normal for others, although the screenshot above is still over the top no matter what screen size anyone has.
If a users signature is too big just PM the user and tell him about it.
If he disagrees you can PM a senior mod who can trim it down.
I usually suggest the use of
tags if there's lots of information.

While this is definitely not a solution to the root of the problem, I have a temporary workaround for users with overly bloated sigs...
There's a browser extension called Stylish (Chrome | Firefox) that allows you to load custom CSS rules based on the current browser URI. I've set the following rules, among other minor tweaks of course... This way large sigs get scroll bars.
Code:
.postContent .postsig {
max-height: 250px;
}
I don't want to have to miss out on potentially helpful and interesting info in logical people's sigs just because there are people who think their sig is their own personal copy of Pinterest...

I have done this as I view on a Netbook and the scrolling was awful, I click on a user and view their sig in the profile if necessary.

I would always recommend hide tags to anyone with images in their signatures. They allow you to have all your content, without forcing everyone to see it, every time you post.
Archer's toolbar was also mentioned, and this is an excellent option also, allowing you to hide the sigs of selected users, not just all or nothing
And yes, if you see something ridiculous, either report it, or send a PM to your friendly Forum or Senior Mod. We're only too happy to help
EDIT: Updating Will be SLOW, I have become very busy. Please feel free to post your own signatures here as well or some awesome ones you have found.
This thread has been created to:
1) Give XDA members some signatures that I created. It will be updated with some more awesome ones regularly so be sure to check back.
2) Allow other users to share signatures that they may/may not have created themselves.
3) Host my ultimate praise for the great site that is XDA.
If a mod is to find that this thread is a duplicate of another one or is invalid on all three purposes, close/move it A.S.A.P. I am sorry if this is the case.

Yeah you did ask me, but at the time I wasn't planning on changing my signature around. But as soon as I've got a bit of time to sort my signature out, I'll definitely contact you about it

I have my own version of adblocker and a few other scripts installed and I can see the photos. So yes just disable your adblocker or if that still doesn't work try another browser. I'm using firefox by the way.
I hope you will enjoy my work.
If you do hit thanks.
