== Please explain that it's currently not open to new sign-ups ==
 
Hi, thanks for helping me get an account here. I had wanted to sign up and found that it didn't work - without any explanation why.
 
Eventually I managed to get in contact with one of the sysops via Twitter and was told that it was closed because of spammers taking over.<br />
 
It would be nice if you could add a little note on this on the main page. There it still says that anyone can join. That should be changed. Maybe even with a hint at how someone could still sign up by contacting someone, if he can explain why he needs to be in.<br />

:I placed a message on the user login page. That should do the trick. :) --[[User:Dialexio|<span style="color:#C20; font-weight:normal;">Dialexio</span>]] 16:00, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 
::Yes, that should do it. I also noticed that you provided an email address now. Thanks a lot for the quick fix [[User:Tempelorg|Tempelorg]] 17:17, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
 
 
== HW Developer related stuff goes where? ==
 
I am working on a project in which I want to use the Dock connector's serial lines to communicate with an external device. Since Apple makes this very difficult (tried to get into the MFi program with no luck), I found that I probably need to jailbreak the device in order to use these lines directly.<br />
 
Finding help in the www was quite disappointing so far (the one by Collin Meyer is quite outdated). So when I figured a few things out now, I'd like to share them. I'd post explanations on how to use these lines on the Dock and how to program them.<br />
 
I wonder if this is the right site for such information. The main page claim to be about _anything_ iPhone, but all I find so far is Jailbreak-related. So, what is this about? Shall I post my findings here or do they better fit somewhere else, e.g. the iphonedevwiki? Sadly I can't sign up with iphonedevwiki, either. Gosh, why is it so hard to find a place to share programming on jailbroken devices? Any other suggestions, please?<br />

:I think it is. This is more appropriate on the [[The iPhone Wiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]], not the [[Main Page]] though --[[User:Balloonhead66|Balloonhead66]] 16:16, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Main Page Orange Bar

I'm getting kind of sick of looking at it, as those things will probably never be done. Anyone want to be bold and replace it with a nice colored jailbreak/unlock status for each device on the latest version(include newest jailbreakable/unlockable if latest isn't). I'd do it but I'm lazy and don't know mediawiki. --geohot 07:40, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

I just changed it. I hope this table's good. :P --Dialexio 16:06, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Good start. I would change this: a) iPhone 4 can be unlocked (mine is). This is not mentioned (requires baseband 1.59.00) b) I thought of having a table with one row and each column represents a device with its status (group some together). Maybe a second row for unlock. c) Instead of Firmware page, I would link to Jailbreak page (and Unlock page, but that's outdated). -- http 20:16, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Can you change the spaces on the first line to &nbsp; to keep it on one line? Can you also change iPhone to device as the iPad 1G can be unlocked. Also change N/A to {{partial|iPad 1G only}} or similar --Balloonhead66 17:34, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks --Balloonhead66 21:07, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Is it just me or does everyone see it like this? I am on a netbook, so my small screen might show it different. --JakeAnthraX 22:34, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Google Chrome! It is because of all of the other stuff on the left two columns. IF it could be summarized better, it world look better. --Balloonhead66 23:23, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
