[Q] can't post link - General Questions and Answers

I wanted to upload picture of my phone settings and I got this message: "To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding! ".
so, in order to prevent spam I need to post 10 posts that I don't need? Is it sounds rational to you??

Maybe try making 10 helpful posts instead of, you know, spamming.

The 10 post rule does frustrate some people, but it serves a very valuable purpose. More information can be found from the link in my signature.

[Q] Error when posting

I got the following error when I wanted to post a message in the Desire HD General Discussion:
To prevent spam to the forums, new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.
I'm not a new member and neither pasted a link, so what am I doing wrong?
Users can't post links until they have 8-10 posts. And you're not trying to add an image or something?
good day.
Nope, just plain text. I just tried to post it again, and now it works. Maybe someone saw my post

[Q] could not post

could not post a question it says
To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!
Welcome to forums
There you have your answer
i know but i don`t use outside links. why it says that?

10 messages.

So, this is some epic idea. Now I need to spam in different random threads to get 10 posts so I can post feedback in rom thread that I've just installed on my HD2.
I know an answer to this question. I also happen to know other forums that have 0 spam and don't have this "epic" idea. Some don't allow to psot for 24 hours after registration and that is all...
What I fail to see is logic behind this. I need to spam in general sections to post legitimate feedback...

We get complaints about that rule all the time. However, it is in place for a reason and is not going anywhere. Furthermore, 10-post spammers always have their junk posts removed, and by creating this thread you've only managed to flag yourself as an account to watch for such spam. Simply answer some questions or contribute to the forum in some way and you'll be to 10 posts before you know it.

[Completed] [Q] Number of posts not incremented

Hi,
Great site, this is very useful to find information about supporting mods to devices!
I had a question about the number of posts, I am a junior member and as such, there are some threads I can`t post to.
However, my number of posts is not incremented anymore when I add new posts. If I search for posts submitted by myself, 6 posts are returned. However, my post count is stuck at 2.
Is there something I need to do to re-sync this?
Thanks!

I seem to have found the answer, I am using Ghostery as a tracker blocker, and it seems when active, it prevents the post count to be incremented. As long as I deactivate it before posting, it seems to increment the post count fine.

Android Fb/Twitter/Skype phishing app

Hello XDA,
I was wondering if there exists/someone wants to make an phishing app that actually Fakes the newest Facebook / Skype / Twitter (social site previously selected in a hidden menu) Android login pages, and store the given passwords and mail addresses in a folder or like fbphising.txt or something. So you just need to give your phone to someone and ask for them to log in because you know a cool trick or something.[emoji41]
This is for testing purposes only (and to prove a friend of mine it is possible to phish with an offline app) so
[emoji724] MODERATORS DO NOT DELETE THIS THREAD[emoji724]
it is not a scream to something illegal, its a question to crete an for-testing-purposes-only app.
Thanx already,
B
You already have a thread for this here:

From our forum rules:
