[Resolved] When are new members able to create a signature?

Just curious if anyone knows off-hand the requirements to have a signature, as i know there are limitations to new members such as the 5 post thing.
If this is a retarded question, flame me lol. I may deserve it. but i cant seem to find the answere, although i only searched for a few mins, but figured a thread here could help others as well. Thank you in advance

Welcome to forums
I think you have a minimum amount of posts in order to "unlock" to full use your XDA account, this is to protect members from bad intentional persons.
Not sure but I think something around 10.

After 8 posts they will allow signatures, but it takes a hour or two for them to update your account after the 8th post.

Thanks, I needed that. I been going to UserCP for the past 2 days with only 5 post.

Can't say that having a sig is something that I need....but anyways, have fun!

Ok great. Now I know why I can't have a sig now. Thanks

Perhaps not now but when you become an active member you´ll see how useful is to have a sig with some of the information you want others to see as what is your HTC device

Lol good thing I looked around the forum. I was like "How do I change my sig???". Definitely an XDA newbie here

Thanks for that robertgibson

Yah, thanks. Something new for me as well.

I was actually just getting ready to PM someone about this and decided right before I hit the submit button to do a search for this. Good to know. That posting limit is kind of annoying, however I understand why.

Awesome glad I did a search before asking this!!

been looking all over for the answer to this question! The search function out here isnt very helpful all the time!

Glad I found this! Thanks for asking the question. Gotta work my way up to that 8th post!

So, here's my first pretend post out of the 8 or ten or whatever it is today.
Mindless control freakery isn't it?
Anon.
(until further notice, or I may make that permanent in honour of this situation)

Actually I only joined after a lot of lurking, as someone asked a question about rooting on a particular 7 inch tablet; I happened to know and was happy to share the answer, no one had answered the OP. Having joined to answer the question for this cap I then found out that forum says no noobs, so that's not going to work out in a sharing the knowledge sense is it?

I also wanted to comment about the G+ Social thing - that needs more posts too, which does not seem an entirely sociable way to treat a noob.
Don't you just love a bit of irony on a wet Thursday night?
Oh and a great app for working through the five minute posting rule without wasting your life - KitchenTimer on the app market.
I would have (in fact did) make a link but guess what, another rule! There's a pattern emerging here.
It said "thanks for understanding", which looks awfully like an assumption from where I am standing.

Is there a forum where us noobs can just get the limit post over and done with to placate whoever it is that is getting off on having the limit?
Or is the only option we have the one of driving everyone one else crazy with ten posts of made up, really annoying, noob questions?
That does seem the most likely outcome as it stands, regrettably.

Due to apparently not being allowed to edit posts I should point out that when I typed "cap" above, I would have liked it to come out as "chap", but life had other plans.

I too am grateful to find the answer to the signature question. Post 3 - 5 to go.

Flash 10.1 beta 3? Apk?

It seems the version of Flash 10.1 on the leaked 2.2 ROM is an older version than what's on the Market but the Market doesn't show Flash. Can someone please post the APK for the current Flash 10.1 that's on the Android Market?
Appreciate it.
UPDATE: Never mind, i checked the version - 10.1.72.7 and it appears that's the same as beta 3 (latest)

C'mon, man! The fact that the thread title contains ".apk" should give you a pretty good idea about where this thread should be started. 3rd offense will result in a 3 day vacation. Thanks!

Are you serious? This site issues 3 day suspensions for someone accidentily posting a question in the wrong area LOL, you have got to be kidding me. Get off your high horse and just tell me people and if you want them to post in different areas. I can see the need to keep the threads clean and most will adhere to what is needed, but honestly threats are uncalled for unless it is consistently the same person doing it!
Just my opinion and i know you could prob care less and if you want ban me thats cool, there 1000's of site i can get this info off of.

No I think its a good idea. Too many f'n stupid posts in development.

Can we get this thread back on track. Personally, i both agree and disagree with issueing 3 day bans, but its not the point. I hate questions that belong in general and are posted in the dev section, but tjat is not the point.
This thread is about friggin flash light for petes sakes. It is not a debate on if three day bans are called for or not.
And if this thread is useless, the mods should delete it.

Moderation is a fundamental issue that needs to be addressed before these forums can again be considered effective resources for serious development efforts.

You know what's even more annoying than the OP posting this thread in the wrong forum? Google-ing the issue the OP was politely asking about, and then having to read through about 5 replies of people moaning about it being posted in the wrong forum and not getting an answer at all. Thanks for the help guys.

Forum mod intro

Hey everyone,
Just thought I'd introduce myself and let everyone know a little about who your forum mod is. I'm an Evo 4G and Viewsonic gTablet user, former Samsung Moment user, as well as being avidly involved in both threads. I'm looking forward to working with you all, and I'm looking toward cooperation and production with this forum! Thanks all, and feel free to post here as an off topic general post
Make sure to report posts which are violating forum rules so that I may take appropriate action! Thanks!!

Oh okay, I just thought it was kind of odd that you posted this in the theme forum (thought maybe you were only moderating this one forum or something)
Anyway, glad to have you aboard, I think Scotsman had a lot on his plate as there are quite a few threads that need to be cleaned up and/or stickied. I'm assuming you'll be taking care of that going forward? If so, maybe we can post a list in here to make it a bit easier for you?

Welcome Neo. Something tells me I will be spending a lot more time on this forum starting tomorrow.

You will, eventually. There are specific requirements for a Q&A forum. Number of posts and threads in General for instance.
Once it's really needed, I'll request one.

Following the white rabbit....

Welcome to the forum, Ive been wondering where are mederator was.
How long have you had your Infuse?
Do you plan to develop for it?
Thanks for your comitment here.

I don't have an Infuse, but I'm waiting for my Galaxy S II. I might develop something for that, and as you know, most stuff works on other Android devices.

Any chance of spending some time cleaning up the Dev section, it's gotten just plain silly

I did some "spring cleaning" yesterday. How does it look now?

You're welcome guys. Oh and by the way, you can send me PM's if it gets "cluttered" again. I've got a pretty big forum list I have to moderate and can't always be around (you know, real life stuff ) so shoot me a PM to help me and yourself out. Thanks.

Nice to meet ya. I'm in!

Need your help, if I root my Samsung infuse, which to do z4root or sideload?

Welcome guys. Glad to have you on board.
Don't ask me stuff about the Infuse, like I said earlier: I don't own an Infuse myself.

WIKI?
How about we start with a WiKi like this one???

CM7/AOSP/ICS Discussion Thread.

Hey there everyone.
I'm from the Vibrant section, and I have some questions for you Galaxy S 4G users, please do know I searched around, but I thought it'd be best to have all the information anyone had on this particular topic all in one thread, so if anyone feels this is useless, feel free to delete it, I'm just trying to gain some knowledge. My girlfriend has a GS4G, and although the devs have done a great job modding Samsung's ROMs.. they don't compare to AOSP ROMs in my opinion.
Now, for the questions.
1. Why is it we can't get a working kernel to boot for the GS4G? (Someone please do explain in detail.)
2. How far has someone gone/gotten? (I know krylon handed the work to someone, but I don't think they've reported back?)
And please, no stupid answers. This is pure discussion. If a kernel dev is what we need, I could try to find one that's willing to work with me, but we'd need testers and such.

From what I heard and read around, you guys don't have any devs thats capable of doing that.

We are already working on this now. Read through my kernel thread. I have specific milestones to getting cm7 on our phone. I will not skip steps to get to cm7 sooner, compromising stability and functionality. If you want to help, please pm me.

Alright, flame me.. because I'm definitely doing something wrong. I'm in no way demanding an ETA or even demanding anyone to start working on this, I simply wanted to group the information anyone knows so we could help each other.. you know.. kind of what a community does?

Guys, being cynical and trolling won't get us anywhere, and tell you the truth, it's childish and starting to bore.
The guy said he wanted a technical status summary and specifically said he wants to help.
In this case, i think we do need to maintain a thread of work chords and specify the barriers.
I thank every new dev with a will to help.
I think he deserves a different attitude than a noob, especially if we don't want to scare all devs from here.
That's my opinion anyway.

It's ok. I've responded to a few of these threads. It's surprising how many people don't click 'search' and search for 'cm7' or 'cyanogenmod'. I also don't expect people to read both rootz and xda. So if you read my op on the kernel thread, I have a "Plans" section (on both forums!).

Starting threads like these without searching only causes trolling and thread thrash (a lot of useless threads in the forum that blur the current state).

A lot of people take me the wrong way. I'm a geek. I read and write code. I don't like wasting my time making you feel all warm and fuzzy.

Lets keep this thread going I am also wondering how come there is so little development here but what developers we have are dedicated!

We have great developers that work hard on cm. The sgs 4g is the problem of not having it, freaking sammy with their experiments. i really enjoy their masterpieces(devs). Op you just have to have some patience, cm will come to us i believe in our devs.

Then why didn't you group all the information that is already available in the 50 other threads about CM7 into this one?
if you really wanted to do that, you could have made your OP a summary with bullet points of the details of everything that was already discussed, and then updated it with new information that comes along.
did you even search at all??

Personally I think the person that cast the raise dead spell should be getting beat with the flame bat.
I swear sometimes people are too eager to flame somebody. Its like they had a bad day come to xda to post behind a anonymous screen name and then walk away feeling better. But that is just me, Im sure my observation is wrong.

First of all, this has never been my primary device. I have never owned this device. I used to own the Samsung Vibrant, now I own a Nexus S. My girlfriend owned a Galaxy S 4G, and was using her phone to try to bring something new to you guys. (First ICS theme for this device ring a bell?) It's not my job to group 50 other threads about CM7 into this one. That's not what a community is. I am in no way a recognized developer, I know my stuff, but I have a long way to go. But it's people like you that make devs want to leave and stop posting their stuff. You swear people have time to do everything. And indeed that was my intention, but I wasn't going to pull useless information from other threads that members have posted, that are often inaccurate. This thread was mostly meant for devs, that could actually help out, and working together.
In other news, I finally have some time to mess around with stuff, might look into more themes or something, but I lack a device to work on, so I guess if some people would like to help (testing, etc.) I'd be glad to push things out from time to time.
