You set it in the user control panel, found here.
Once you go there, look at the menu on the left side. You'll see "Edit Avatar" and "Edit Signature" under Settings & Options, located on the left.
Hope that helps!

You don't have to know everything, most of the users here start without any knowledge about windows mobile, I started this way too.
But it isn't very hard to check the wiki or use the search function.
try this link:
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partne...-8859-1&q=sent+notification+disable&sa=Search
and look how many answers it turns up!
but yes as thecrazyman64 noted, you can use advanced configutation tools for this.
BTW it would be a good idea to put your device and rom/wm version in your signature so other members can see at once which device you have problems with, if you have any more question
no need to get rude. It is a common rule here to first search and then post a question. The forum would overflow if everyone just asked everything they didn't know without looking around first. There aren't really many things unanswered here!

[Q]Hide or Remove Start Menu Title?

I am running WM6 and would like to know if there is a way to hide or remove the start menu title or window title so it doesn't show the "Start" text or title of programs on the task bar?
Much thanks for any help!
Check HERE.
Also using the xda search revealed a number of threads concerning same topic.
good day.

Thanks chopper! I just tried this and it works, but only hides the start menu text and not the title of running programs.
Cool.
Now search for your other conquest. You may have to word it in many different ways.
good day.
Just wondering, what search terms did you use to come across that file? This might help me on my voyage!
"remove start text on windows mobile task bar"
just didn't see anything on running program text. Maybe someone will roll along and say whether it is doable or not.
good day.

That's okay. I have not come across a solution either! Perhaps I should ask about how to hide the title of running programs in the "modifying and unlocking" section. At least the start text is gone now, thank you very much for your help chopper!
Tip: The search search bar all the way at the top of the site is a "sitewide" search.
I missed that detail for a while.
Have a liitle fun here.... see ya around.
good day.

Setting of View First Unread

How do I set 'view first unread' as the default to every thread?

I know you asked this years ago but if you're still around did you ever get this resolved? It's driving me bonkers.

I don't know how you can tell a post is read. Posts are not like emails, where you have to open them to read them. I think the closest you can get is thread level.
I set my preference to show newest post first and then subscribe to the thread requesting notification. That way i get a notice i can follow right to the latest post in the thread, or i can go to the latest post when i open that thread.
That may be as close as you're going to be able to get.
To set preferences, if you go to "Control Panel" under your user name (top right), click on "Edit Options" on the left side and roll down to "Thread Display Options" you can select how you want threads displayed. You can go here to see what the choices mean.
Not having the latest post first isn't too bad on the desktop on a 30" monitor, where it bothers me is in the XDA app and these settings keep the current posts first. That wasn't working for me on the settings in the app.

Thanks a million. Unfortunately I've done this is 3 different browsers and it still takes me to the first post instead of the last or "newest" so It's very frustrating. I am on a 27" iMac and even get the same thing in windows so it's got to be something with my account but my subscriptions are set to newest first and I even reset browsers and changed the theme of XDA and it's STILL not working. What's ironic is that the XDA and Tapatalk apps work perfect for me whereas you stated they don't for you so we have just the opposite issues. Lol. It's driving me mad lol
Thanks for the reply. I'm going to create a new account as a test and see if that does anything. I'll report back. +1

[Q] Can't change signature

I'm unable to change my signature at the bottom of my posts on this forum. When I go into my profile, I can change my city, carrier, twitter name, etc, but there is no "pencil" next to my signature (which is terribly out of date and needs updating). so what happened to the "edit" for that one?

Quick Question

I've been looking at this forum for a long time now & on some people posts, I see them write what time of phone they have as well as the roms & kernels that they're using. Can anyone point me to where I can do this myself? I know it has something to do with signature, I just don't know where to find it. Thanks for the help.
You can look up on here xda and search what type of phone you have ND look at your specific carrier with model of device and it should have tabs giving you choices of roms for that phone and kernels. Hope this helped or Google it.

Okay so I did everything you said to do, the only thing is when I got to Settings & Options, the only options I see are "Edit Avatar", "Edit Email & Password", "Edit Options", & "Edit Ignore List".
