** Off-Topic vBulletin hidden features ** - Off-topic

I recently discovered that you can edit the title of a thread you made from the thread list, by double-clicking the thread row (not a link on the row, but the row itself).
I just wondered if anyone knows of any other "hidden features" in vBulletin (what xda is built on).
There's this one as well, that's not shown in the editor but it works

Oh no! You have discovered our secret to quick editing!

I found this out a while ago. Awesome huh? xD
But looking at the pic I posted.. Back when the ban thread had only 1500 posts

Nice find. I can say that, having also found it
Now I'm hungry for moar!

Isn't that typical? A Brit makes a discovery, only to find that it had already been discovered before.. by a Brit!
err, wait...what??
Anyway, British pioneering spirit is what we have here. We'll discover things twice before the rest of the world even hears about them! So there.

Is this a conspiracy against us

Don't know if this would count,

And don't know any tricks myself

I LOVE this feature!
I'm not sure if this is purely xda doing this, but I suspect as much.
Just highlight some text in a post and you should get a magnifying glass next to it. That pops up a dialog box that does a contextual search on xda for you.
It does make me wonder what else there is though.

And the point is: why are there such irrelevant ad's on here, doesnt google adsense or w/e mold to fit the site?

I'm afraid we only have ourselves to blame. These adds are "intelligent" ads. The sort of add that appears is based on the text you are viewing on screen at the time. So for example, I notice that you were viewing a post that several times mentions the word gay and lesbian - and that is why the lesbian add appeared. If you have the word Nokia appearing on the page or Muslim for example then the adds that appear may well be related to Nokia phones or Muslims in some way.
Mike
PS - Nothing out and out pornographic or extreme will appear.
In all probability then this kind of add will only appear in the off topic section. Assuming folk post in the correct forum.

north face
Ugh..... both I personally would never think to buy (no offense G1 )... But, if I was stuck in the middle of Yakima and had no malls around and some flying squirrelldogs were chasing me until I chose, I would have to go with the Uggs since their less noticeable (to me since I dont go around staring at peoples feet ) than the hideous jacket.

Favourite apps?

With XDA's search still not being too useful at the moment, a search brought me nowhere.
Is there a thread where you can mention your favourite apps and pros/cons and suggest apps to others?
If so, just get rid of this and link me there. But if not, would that be a good idea you think?

It still takes work because a lot of seemingly unrelated threads show up...just take time and skim til you see what's mostly relevant.
In other words, search is nowhere near perfect. But starting a new thread out of laziness won't get someone very far.
And why would I expect another thank from you, Mr. 1000?

Amount of thread closures

As we know, moderators have a certain limit of thread closures over a select period of time.
Now, do certain mods get a higher amount than others?
I ask this because in the international galaxy S2 forum, there's only 2 mods yet it's one of the busiest forums on here.
Whereas, there's 3 mods in General-Questions & Answers but it's a less active area.
So do certain mods get more closures, or do SMs have to jump in the bigger sections to close threads when the other mods have reached their limit?
Eh?
Generally speaking, busier forum = more mods.
There are no limits to how many threads a mod can close.
For a more detailed explanation see here.
I thought there was a limit
