Can I ask why right clicking on this forum has been replaced with some annoying third party look "contextual" search thing. It's really annoying
Moved to About XDA section.
i think its gr8
I finally got annoyed enough by it to come here posting about it, but I figure I'll resurrect this thread rather than start my own.
In a nutshell, the Contextual Search "feature" is about on par with Clippy.
'nuff said
You should still have the right click menu though...
Not when anything is selected, which is when it is usually used. I can't think of a single time the "contextual search" has ever been useful.
Had an epiphany that I could add a filter to Adblock. If anyone else cares to know, just add "searchlight_ctextsearch.js" to your custom filters. Yay! No more stupid counter productive "feature"!

Nope.
Contextual search only appears if you click the magnifying glass next to the selected text.

Just disable it then?
Go to options and uncheck "Enable Contextual Search".
I did that ages ago as I didn't really use that feature either.

svetius: "jump to your device" -- shouldn't this go above the dropdown so no rollover
Hey I cannot quarrel with the man who brought Youtube embeds within 48 hours or initial request... (btw, am I the only one using it? ... wait, let me answer that: yes. But I like it, so thank you !)
That pair of "quick navigation to your phone" tools at top right has been really great. It's just that enroute to using the text box to type in "desire" I almost always rollover the dropdown which causes an obstruction to my desired objective.
You probably wrestled with this and have reasons for the way you did it. But just in the event you were really really smashed that night and really had no rationale whatsoever and just flipped a coin, are you open to trying to flip the two...
Another unsolicited usability comment in the spirit of improvement. The xda favicon is such a welcome change from the boring vBulletin v, but I find it hard to read.
Did you ever come across how they went about remaking the YouTube favicon to improve its readability? It sounded very esoteric by god it did the job... A reader submitted it -- and YouTube took her up on it, and adopted it:

About the drop down...in the forum redesign we're working on, you must click the drop down to get it to open.
About the fav icon...feel free to make one that is better than the current. All of us are quite pleased by the new icon. It's not perfect, but making a legible 16x16 graphic is very difficult.
Today I have found out that you can save images with the Kin. What you have to do, is double tap the image (it might zoom in sometimes, 2nd time should work). After double tapping the image, it will come up with popup saying "save image". When you save an image, it gets saved into your camera app just like a screenshot. Enjoy!

P.S. using that pic as my lock screen, fits well.
Yes, but doesnt work with "hacking" purposes as the browser yells about the image not being loadable.
Long time .

Yeah, but its still nice to know that this phone can do that. I though it couldn't. Just educating other users.
hmm... this seems like it could be exploitable. have we tried this yet?
edit: anybody know the inner workings of image files? i'll look it up later but i have homework to do right now...

oh... my bad.
What are you using to keep the screen on during some aps. I have tried a few but haven't had much luck.
Hope others have had success
If charging, you could always enable the option (I think under Developer Options) to keep screen on during charging. Otherwise, you can also adjust screen timeout to something really high or Never.
I use Caffeine
I'm quite satisfied with KeepScreen
I tried IntelliScreen but it can do more than I actually need and so found it a bit too complex
If you already own Tasker, use it to do it.

Do you have a "script?" for tasker?
Have you tried Screebl?
Works perfectly for my tablet, has lots of settings you can play with if you need, but haven't need to at all myself though. try it out! Free version before v

Don't forget to hit thanks if that helps! Or if you just feel like it, that would be okay too

No need, create a Profile for a context when said app is running, make the Task change the Screen On time. Nothing complicated.

Try Notification Toggle. There's a toggle for this and many more, so you don't have to use for every setting a separate app.

Also, how do you stop Android from ending the selection for you when you haven't finishes making toilet selection? Is there a trick like wiggling your finger twice to the left there times to the right to get the arrow to make it to the edge of the line at the end of the screen? Is there a 3rd party app to substitute this crap built into Android? It's not very finger friendly. What do you guys do? Thanks

Anyone sled use the Android tapatalk app for this forum? If so, have you found you cannot click on and edit/modify your post anymore? Or is it just my phone? Like my last post is empty. I wanted to either add something to it or delete it. Is there anything that works or are we just a bunch of impatient satisfaction hungry slurs that demand solutions to desired right now before you have time to make something properly functional? Excuse me. I don't know how many times I day working on my computer/phone I run into some design flaw in some program that slows me down. I would ha e just stick working with the mobile browsers had I known how crappy these forum apps would be. Hey look all cute and thumb ready with their widgets on your screen but really suck.

You try typing that and then selecting the first letter, but no cheating, select "select word" not "select all"

I'm just asking, is the a kid or children forum? From the second I registered, when I get a notification I just hurry up to see if someone replied to me, then it's just "you have reached to a new level"!!
I had just 44 posts (which seems noob compared to many others) and I had 20 levelsAnd 23 achievements. They're just too much, and confusing. I hope if you made it way slower than this rate. Or maybe even remove it completely. Sorry if it's in the wrong section, I tried to be in the right section.

Thank you for the help. I know I can find them in settings. But I meant as a general thing for the forum to be changed. You may consider it as a suggestion. For me I don't want to miss a thing, so I wont turn them off.
