When it was added to XDA ? I don't see any reference on Portal or in Change Log http://www.xda-developers.com/changelog/

Change log is updated monthly. We'll add it.

Thanks for adding it to xda, i think it has a lot of potential

Google+ and the XDA Circle

I have made a G+ Account called "XDA Circle". If we can get all XDA members to search and add that account to a circle. It would more or less create a global group. I'm thinking it would be an easy way to keep our own XDA circles up-to-date. Simply search for the "XDA Circle" profile, dbl-click into it to view who has circled the "XDA Circle" account. Then you can easily find XDA Members that you have not added yet.
I have no plans to use or make posts from that profile. In theory, it should grow on its own as more XDA members get online with Google+.
Deyez (Jason Bush on G+)
Didn't really need a whole account for this. The cool thing about G+ is you can create a circle with this name and start adding people, and other people in your circles can see this, plus you can see people added to this circle by those that you have added to this circle. This is kinda the point of the circles feature.
I was going to add you, but there are apparently 2 of you
True, but if you look at all the people I have circled...how do you know which ones are XDA people and which are my other friends? Or am I still missing something?

I actually went and looked and I thought you could see which circles people were in, but I was wrong. I'm still figuring it out, heh.
I suspect at some point Google will implement some kind of groups feature in G+ because this would really facilitate what you are trying to do here.

[RESOLVED] [Q] [REQ] Strikethrough?

Resolved - Already implemented. Lock/ignore this thread
Any chance we could get a strikethrough feature in the forums here? The use is obvious but I will give an example anyway. I report a bug, that bug was added to a buglist in the original post but the software in regard is still pending a bugfix. Making this strikethrough makes it obvious for other users to ignore it, and editing the post by just deleting the text is a inconsistent in regards to completion and research. [EDIT] In other words, other readers will see that this matter has been reported and is being taken care of. Assuming the majority of our users are moderately intelligent, this could make the place a LOT cleaner. [/EDIT]
There's no need to add a button even, just for those "in the know" to use even with ... bbcode or add the <del>...</del> HTML tags to the forum software's allowed tags.
I understand that some forums do not like this feature but I can't remember why, I always found it very useful when editing my posts. It's a lot less annoying for other readers than to completely delete an entire paragraph of text. With that said, if there is a reason why this won't be implemented I will not press it any further.
Thanks!
Noobish double post
Are you talking about this?
Wrap with strike tags like this...
HTML:
[strike]strike text goes here[/strike]

sorry for the thread necro, but does the WYSIWYG editor allow for selecting text instead of having to manually edit the post with - as I cant see the option.

I think the "S" button is right at the end of the buttons (on Phone ATM)

to only access a website via an app?

Hi folks, I'm hoping someone has advice for my really simple app. I have a basic app that essentially gives a portal to a website. (This is my app.) This is my question: Is there a way to restrict access to the website so that it can only be accessed by clicking through the app? I want to make it so people don't just post links to my website ooutside of my app. I don't monetize or advertise on anything, so it's not about that. It's just a matter of respect... I would like to be able to embed a link in the app that users of the app can click on, which will open their browser allowing access to this website. I want to also block access coming from anywhere other than the app.
Any advice is appreciated. It's a super basic app, made using Eclipse. Thanks X 10 for any help.

You might want to check it in your web page's code what user agent the browser is using.
If you see any other than an Android phone (I don't know how specific it can get, i.e. if you can get a WebViews UA), you can show an error or certain page that denies access?

Thanks. That's a good idea to start with. It doesn't limit anyone clicking through a direct line while on their phone but it's something. Thanks again.

You could make the app post a specific GET variable to the initial start page, then make your web menu bar add that GET variable to all further links.
E.G. Your first page requested by the app is.
http://yourwebsite.com/index.php?check=kg&TugugkD
Then the menu would link to the correct page such as
Home Page : http://yourwebsite.com/index.php?check=kg&TugugkD
About Page : http://yourwebsite.com/about.php?check=kg&TugugkD
Contact Page : http://yourwebsite.com/contact.php?check=kg&TugugkD
If the site detects an incorrect 'check' value then it will just default to a 404 error page.
You could even use this in the future to track the version of the app people are using if you wanted to.
Hope that helps!

This is great! I appreciate you taking the time to reply. Thanks so much. This I will figure out. The app right now is serving content to users of one specific device. No one else would want it - it's files for the stock 4.1.2 build for that phone. I plan to add support for a second device soon, and I think I should be able to use a similar process to what you're saying to direct to page A or page B based on which device in use... Or, the landing page would have two gigantic tabs and users could click the right tab for their device, I suppose. My temporary fix is just a screen width redirect, to keep people who are on their laptop from using my bandwidth... And that's my only real goal, that and some respect. Thanks again, bud.

[Q] Change my username?

I want to change my username, how can I do that?
This username has been mine for a while, but I no longer use that handle. Can anyone help me?

[*]Username Change - Send a PM to MikeChannon, the_scotsman, egzthunder1, pulser_g2 or NotATreoFan. Be sure to include what you would like your name changed to, and also why you want it changed. Providing that information in the initial PM will save us a reply asking for it. There is no official limit on name changes, but keep it reasonable or you'll be stuck.

Duplicate XDA Website(With Possible Malacious Intentions)

There is this website I found that caches and steals the whole XDA website.
It goes by the handler: " forum.freelatestmovies.org "
If you try going to the website directly through the adress above, I wont work and will fail.
HOWEVER if you google search the website name, you can see all of the duplicate threads/pages of the XDA Forums.
Some download links lead to maliciously crafted ones. Lots of images/links are broken or missing, but some do work.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/br57m1wanx045id/Screenshot 2015-12-20 17.59.14.png?dl=0
I stumbled upon this site yesterday but I recently found lots of pages that are now cloned. I almost inputted my account login details to this site.
Be very careful with this site and I advise the proper XDA Administration to take care of it.
Enjoy the Christmas Week!
its give my a idea
Well that is a good advice, but rigth now im having problems with attachments files, so cloning the web may be a good idea to get all attachment files hahahahaha!
Thanks for letting us know! :good:
@bitpushr
We were notified about this a few days ago. I have moved to block what I can on the backend, they had about 20 IPs working as a proxy. Usually Google will make quick work of these sites in not too long.
