I have a galaxy s4, and I've recently joined this forum to help solve an issue I've got. I noticed a lot of people mentioning knox, but I have no idea what that is! Sorry to sound dumb, but can someone explain what it is to me please?
Thread stickied 2nd from the top of Q&A.

Ok um thanks
Wouldn't it be better to Google this instead of posting another pointless thread?
Exactly why I referred to the stickied thread (the whole point of it/being stickied was to avoid threads like this).

MODS, RENAME THIS FORUM TO "TIPS & TRICKS" OR SOMETHING!
NO ONE reads the 3rd sticky saying that "This sub-forum is only for tips/info/news etc., NOT QUESTIONS"
SO RENAME IT!!!!!!!!!! Will save you mods time from moving threads!

haha i wanna see where this leads....
I was going to suggest it in the "i don't know about you, but i'm glad the mods are cleaning up" thread, but that got locked.
But seriously... doesn't this make sense?
Just look at the forum right now, there's a million threads moved cuz it's in the wrong forum, cuz people thing this is a "general" talk forum.

What more would you like the mods to do? There already is a Q&A section where questions are to be placed, which means this thread is for anything non question related. Relax and repeat a mantra or something.

Not much.
I reckon his post is really directed at posters who refuse to (or cannot ) read, not the mods. I suppose while people continue answering Qs posted in the General forum, people will continue to post them. OTOH if participants resist the urge to show their knowledge by responding in the wrong forum maybe the posters will see the error in their ways. Failing that the post without a response will soon fade away.
As someone else mentioned, placing the Q&A thread atop the list would probably fix things, but it is out of whack with the rest of the XDA layout, so this would not do either. Quite a few of the Questions seem to come from posters who use English as a second language. So perhaps changing Q&A to Question & Answers may help because the abbreviation may not be so obvious to some.

I understand that, but like the sticky says, the General forum is a tips/news/hints forum, and if you take 2 seconds to look at all the threads in the General forum, they're 99% questions.
Like I said in the first post, I think a lot of people see General, and think of a general/misc talking forum, so they go here to post their issues/ask for help/etc..
SO, since the sticky does say this General forum is tips/news/hints, it should be renamed to that, so when a n00b sees Q&A, they'd ask their Questions there, and if they have tips/news/hints, they'd post here.

Like I said in that thread, the issue was brought up to the moderators and they will do something about it (once the person in charge gets back from his vacation).
Anyways, don't worry about it.. it won't kill you. I'm the one who's doing the work and I'm not complaining much.
And can we please stop starting these threads in the N1 forum --- if you have a general issue with the boards then post them to the main forums (General, etc.), not here. Thank you

Seriously? You started this thread with a "q"!

Welcome to Xda. I've moved this thread to the HD2 Android Q&A forum. From now on(until you get more familiar with the site) if you're unsure what forum to post your new thread in, please post it in the HD2 Android General forum. It's always a safe bet that if it's not a development thread, it will go there unless it is a thread specifically opened to ask a question(in which case it should go in Q&A).

What has that got to do with the price of fish?
Does been new to site suddenly impair your vision or remove your ability to take 5 seconds of time to look at the forum titles instead of spamming crap in wrong sections?
Also some word of advise, before posting any questions in teh Q&A forum use the search button, You know the one that says "SEARCH" on it, because its very very likely that any question you have has already been discussed at length already all you need to do is read and learn

Noticed my post of " Should I wait for a little bit long" regarding availability of galaxy note in US was deleted. Wonder what I did wrong.
Read the stickied thread READ THIS !!! DO NOT POST QUESTIONS IN THE GENERAL SECTION THEY WILL BE DELETED !!!
It's even written in capslock, you can't possibly miss it...
but there are so many posts asking questions in this section.

"Wonder what I did wrong", even if you did not use the "?", also this was a question. You are going to get banned! hehe
Thread closed
No one is going to get banned for politely asking a question. We are enforcing the 'no question' rule in General now, however. I had the Q&A section added as soon as the rules allowed, please use it! We are moving questions into that forum as we post
Samsung just announced that they will be selling the GS3 with an unlocked boot loader:laugh: for $600 USA.
Let the modding begin.
Do people not look to see if other threads exist before making one? I guess I answered my own question.
dude, this is thread number 7 on this topic alone. Please read before creating a new thread. Not trying to be mean but if you would have just looked, you would see discussion on this in every thread in general section. Even the ones that have nothing to do with it.

I sincerely apologize - I was too quick to post. Won't happen again.
Good lord, every other thread is about this same topic
Sorry for being off topic here. This is not a thread about our devices. However, I've noticed an issue where people are asking questions on the General, Development and Original Development section. Why aren't they on the Q&A section where it should be? This isn't the only thing though. I've seen people answering the questions (which is fine) without reminding them that they are on the wrong section. This promotes others to post questions thread on the wrong sections. I might have made a big deal out of something small. If you have a different opinion on this matter, be sure to share it.
tl;dr: Stop posting Questions[Q] threads on the wrong section
lol, this is a Q thread and it's in general

The title is a question but the post is mostly a discussion. What my thoughts are about this problem and I want to know what other thinks. Have you even read the post?
