I have posted to these forums for a long time and I pay good attention to searching first and asking last. I also post in appropriate forums where others have discussed similar items.
Last night I posted a new thread about small text size in pie 6.1 on my fuze and it go moved from a new thread to some rom dev thread.
Can someone help me understand what I am doing to cause this?
huh?
can you send a link... and describe exactly what happened please?
Here is my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3302692&postcount=672
However, I clicked NEW THREAD not reply or quote.
well then, it probably happened because it was asked to post questions in a dedicated thread - as you can see from the thread's title.
Alright, thank you for your input. Seems like it inhibits answers without being able to start a thread in the appropriate area, instead my post got moved to a ROM dev thread and burried under 1600 posts.
Is there a problem with the community and now push back on allowing questions?
not at all. all questions regarding specific devices can go either here or in their dedicated sections..
but you should read the rules.. if there is a dedicated thread for questions, members are asked to use it so that the forum is not flooded.
there are so many new threads everyday we can't control it anymore.. so we're trying to collect.
I have been following thread specific to my phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487576) since some time now. When I needed to ask some questions, I became a member of the site and started posting in the thread. Today, all of a sudden I'm not able to post in the thread as my post count is less than 10. However, this contradicts with the fact that my previous posts (all 5 of them) were made in the same thread.
Could some mod help me with the criteria which determines whether the thread is a development thread or not?
I'm not a mod but I'm pretty sure you need 10 posts to post in any development forum. Maybe the thread started in a different forum, but was later moved to a Dev section? I could be wrong...

Hello XDA, I would first like to introduce myself. I am Silverlink, an XT912 developer from droidrzr.com. I am in a developer team know as Team SpeedCore. I want to help other users that use the same device as me and contribute my work to this community.
I noticed that I am not able to post any where in developer pages. This is a rule that I am not accustomed to. What should I do/Who should I talk to to be able to maybe post some of my threads and provide Droid Razr roms to this forum? I know that some people from my usual website of choice have posted their roms over on here, and I am interested in spreading my roms to other communities. It's also nice to know there's another copy out there, in case droidrzr goes down. (and it has, my thread over on rootzwiki saved me a ton)
I did read over the rules, and did not see any guidelines like "You must post this many helpful posts" or such. I could have overlooked something of course.
Thanks for your time, folks.
You need at least 10 useful posts before you can get access to post in the Dev forums.

This is the second time you have created such a thread, the second time your question was answered, and the second time I am closing it. Please do no create any further threads on this issue. Closed.
Before I get chastised by overzealous members for posting in the dev forum, please keep in mind that activity here is minimal hence my assertion that new ROMs are not coming up and most users are content with the ICS OTA firmware, and this is where the "development" attention should focus at this time. I am wonder if we can create a comprehensive thread containing all know tweaks to ICS OTA here?
I am indeed on ICS OTA and trying to live with it I am tweaking it through build.prop and by removing some MOTO bloatware especially these showing heavy battery usage. A snapshot of my/system/app is included and build.prop will follow
I successfully renamed several of blur files rendering them unusable but wonder if there is a list of files that are safe to remove and which do not cause system instability and unnecessary dev log errors.
My objective is a stable and functional system with a working webtop.
Can anybody chime in on the subject?
Hey you made a similar post here a few days ago..and again you post in the dev section..why cant you post in general section??..i am not trying to be a jerk but if one person breaks the rules repeatedly others will also follow..and the whole forum will be a mess..mr jimbridgman u aint seein this??

There are virtually no posts here and no development activity... its not like this forum is drowning in posts. I posted in the dev section hoping we can can start something to make the ICS OTA more usable. Maybe some devs can chime in as well. I also didn't want to post in the Q&A forum where the most lively thread discusses which phone ATRIX 2 users will get next... C'mon. Give me a break, its like a cemetary here, I haven't seen anything like this since I joined this forum in 2005... any activity is good here...
This does not belong in the dev forum. No matter how "dead" you think it is in here.
The dev forum is only for developers to post works they created.
I will be reporting this to the mods when I get to a computer.
duchski, please refrain from posting in the dev section unless you actually have something you have developed. Discussions belong in the general section. There is a reason you have not seen a post like this in here, because it does not belong in the dev section.

Hey guys just starting up a thread to get my post count up so i can reply on the dev forms. This however is still something i am extremely excited and curious about. The SEIDIO OBEX!
A few questions. First, does anybody know an expected release date?
Second, had anybody had a previous version of the obex? Please give me the rundown, worth the money, does it work as it says, is it heavy and bulky. thanks for any information.
A little off topic but it's probably a bad idea to have your Gmail account as your user name. That is unless you love your email to be spammed. Just saying.
Isn't it already available on their website tho?

Crap i didnt even notice it did that. do you know how i can change to just a username not my email?
Last i checked they only had them for the S3 but i will have to go look now. Either way though do you have any experience with them? do they perform as well as they are supposed to?
These kind of threads clutter up the forum and make it difficult for searchers. The OBEX has already been released for a while now and there are at least 2 threads in this sub forum about it that include detailed reviews and videos. A simple search will bring up the threads for you or you can go to Seidio's website for more information.

Message a moderator. They'll forward it to the admin and they'll change it.

What happened to the days on forums when people would actually respond to a post you make rather than trying to prove that you put it in the wrong spot or should have searched. A forum is supposed to be a community, not a search index.
But like i said im just trying to spark up a discussion so i can get past my 10 post limit. If i was able to post on the forum i wanted it would have prevented this post from being made.
Either way i dont really want seidios opinion on it since they made the product. I was looking more for user experience and first hand opinions, not specs.

Did you even take a second to look at the threads I told you about?
And this is a DEVELOPMENT forum, not a social network, there are threads especially put aside (in the General section) for you to pad your post count. What happened to the days of people searching and following forum rules? But honestly, go ahead and ignore the links that I told you about (that you asked information about in the first place) and go ahead and post for no other reason than to add to your post count and clutter the sub forum with threads that already exist, I don't care. Good luck.

Actually it isn't letting me post on the DEV forums. thats why i am here. this is an accessory forum. If it was a dev forum it would not let me post here because my count isn't up. And i would have posted in the general section but i figured something about cases would go in the accessory section. I am not ignoring the threads your talking about (although you didn't link them) i know how to search and found them myself. I posted one thread to build my post count not 10 so relax. Clearly you do care cause you took the time to come into this thread and contribute nothing other than telling me I was wrong. If anything thanks for helping me get my count up.

What he meant is this entire website is for development. Not just the development section. I know you want to icrease you count but you could go in the off topic thread for that. One more thread here and there and over there add up quick and it makes it harder for people to find what they are looking for. But the case has been out for a few weeks now.
