i don't know if i keep missing it or i just can't find it
can anyone guide me to it? thank you in advance!
I believe you need a minimum number of posts to unlock the market. Not sure how many though.
Marketplace rules found in the main rule (top right hand button) but also linked here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81
Minimum of 8 posts required.

thank you. I've been using XDA for at least a 2 years now, but never really post because there are always SO MANY people making unnecessary comments in informative threads that I don't want to add to the page counts
Not to bump an old thread (though it shows I searched lol), but I've got more than 8 posts, but still don't see the marketplace. Does it take a while to update?

Agreed. Sometimes they'll post a one word comment, like "Cool!", and their signature block will be half a mile long.
When I try logging in with my XDA credentials, I keep getting told I will receive an email....yet nothing comes through.
Works well guys!

I have a rooted Inspire and just today it is offering a software update. When I try to do it, All I get is the android icon with a triangle with exclamation point on it. Pulled battery, rebooted phone but it is still bugging me to update. I wanna get rid of it. How??

The easiest way is to back up all your stuff and flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
Its a rooted Stock ROM with the update.
That or flash any of the ROM's from the Dev section.
I should add that once you download it, rename it PD98IMG.zip and put in the root of your SDcard. Check MD5 Sums and if they match up, power down your device, then boot into hboot (vol down + Power).
Let the bootloader find the image and then volume up to update.
Thanks for the help! You would think being an A+ and DELL certified computer technician, I could figure this Android stuff out but it's a whole different world. I appreciate the help and look forward to many more here.

Or at least be able to do a search for the answer to an extremely common question first.
God forbid you ask a question on the General Forums... Welcome to the asshole filled world of XDA buddy! I can't wait for the Mango Phone 7 update!
True, you do have a slight point but I've noticed that the search around here works about as well as every other forum. You do a search for something and you get hundreds of results that have no bearing on what you actually searched for.
Hey, what's wrong with spending 2 hours going thru a 200 page thread looking for an answer that someone can answer in 2 minutes. LOL.

If you search and don't find it your not reading, by going to the search function in the general forum, and typing in update ( just update nothing else) it will pull up about 8 threads dedicated to what this thread is about.
Everyone is welcome, and we enjoy helping someone when they follow the rules of the forum, which includes actually trying to search for an answer like most of us have, instead of asking someone to hand it to them.

Quite true. There are also people who are well aware of the browser version of the sites two search boxes, and long for the day when the XDA app will be a fully functional alternative.
XDA is a lot quicker for reading, but can't do some important tasks that are important to a serious XDA member...
Robust thread search, thanks button, easy copy of thread url for pasting into posts, etc.

For the most part, I see those posts get answers anyways. Even if it isn't from a frustrated veteran, there usually someone that just learned it themself that is willing to help. Trust me, I understand the frustration, but when you go to the stickies and see the guides and videos say they are outdated, you start to wonder if the answer you found is outdated too. I think many find it more reasurring if they can get a more current and direct answer.

The only reason they are outdated, is because the hack, gets updated once a month, and its one version 11 so there would need to be at least 11 videos, for each version of the hack kit, which would require unrooting the phone then downloading the hack kit (every time), then making a video. That is pretty time consuming.
The reason the outdated videos are posted, is an effort to educate people, on what they are doing, even if the hack kit has changed a little bit it still gives you a general idea of how it works.
With that said, this very topic, is covered in the f.a.q. of the guide, I updated about 3 weeks ago when the ota update came out, and there was 4 threads saying "my update failed and I'm rooted".
Apparently I do not know how to read.
Hi,
To post in the forums, where I can ask for and give help, I need to have posted at least 10 times. I cannot even thank TRusselo who wrote the Newbie guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041206
I could consider this one of the 10, but this is just creating a mess in the CMS for this site.
Or is there a forum where I can do a quick post 10 times, which a moderator will purge monthly

It's to weed out helpful people.
If they're helpful, they leave before they get 10 posts.

Aah, your timezone is set wrongly. XDA does not yet know which timezone you are in.
At the top of this page, to the left of "Welcome squallrblade", click on User CP.
On the left, select "Edit options", under "Settings and Options". Halfway down, set your timezone.
Why you are 4 mins off, I have no idea. Either the server or your wall clock is off.

Oh dear. I just reviewed a forum I had been a member of for about 2 and a half years and I racked up around 14000 posts.
bacause you are n00b. just like the vid in reg page. same same like me here. need gaining post
and then you will get
1. To prevent spam to the forums, new users must wait five minutes between posts. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.
9 post means 9 times 5 equal 45min more or less
congrats
When I am on the xda app and when I go to post to reply on a topic it says the server thing then proccessing but it keeps me at that screen and doesn't post
checked the form rules,I must reply first.
you need to have 10 posts before you can post in every section on xda, right now you are allowed to post things in Q/A
i had the same problem, i couldnt even post in q/a, also i couldnt edit my profile at all, so i had to make a new user, but does anyone know why it was like that?

That means you have 9 to go, and we expect quality, contributory posts, not spam. That's not to suggest that you personally would do that, but I deal with "10-post spammers" almost every single day.

Your entire response is the EXACT reason why there is a search button so every single topic does not require a thread. It keeps the forum cleaner and straight forward. If you wanna know any news or need to find out, go check Dan's twitter.

I hear you, I can see where you're coming from. But here's the thing. You have two choices as far as interacting on the forum:
1. You follow the important threads constantly, so you know what information is out there, and what is not. Then when you find some news, you can post about it in the related thread that's already there. If the news is huge and unrelated, you can start a new thread.
2. You follow casually, reading the latest pages of the top threads every couple of days. In this case, you can never be sure you have the latest information, and the unwritten rule is that you waive your right to post new threads about news.
Everyone else: Lay off, alright? He's been told off, and he was immediately repentant. That's enough.
