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

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.

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!

[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?

[Q] issues with my brand new galaxy s5

hi guys, i just got my galaxy s5 2 days ago,
i can tell it seems nice, but?
1- the tapping sometimes seems not callebrated!! like when i click to show the menu in data usage, it gives me the list to select/unselect the "restrict background data" but i can't select it!! same in many other menus, these menues which they changed from the press bottun hardware into a software menu to select, i can't select the ristrict background data, it is either going to above it "data roaming" or below it "enable wifi measure" how i can callebrate it? how i can make the touch work fine!!?? i even tried to use a thin pen softly many times, i just can't control some menus like the one i said about, also in messages (SMS) when trying to open a first message in the list, it opens for me "create new message instead" looks like the hit comes on the place that is above what i tap!!! any idea why?
2- i want to make the clock alarm put the das like S M T W T F S, but it keep reading starts from Monday, i've selected the regional settings correct "Dubai/ UAE" and made sure that is all like my old S3 which was fine, but i just couldn't make it appear as startting from Sunday!!! any idea?
3- when i am on the home screen, going right, goes to the right page, fine, going right again, goes to the next page, fine, but if i go left, it opens the magazine thing, i don't want it, i just want it to open the last page normally like you are flipping the pages, how i can do that?
4- the usb input place is really disgussting, everytime you need to carefully remove the cover and each ones you have to make sure you do it carefully not to spoil it, is seems thin and can't handle pressure, i just don't know why they put it,,,, any idea how to remove it "without breaking it" out of the device, so to keep it aside and may use it later for example??
thanks for your time guys
Think you're looking for the S5 forums, bud. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5
That's for the sprint variant of the s5. You can use the "Type to find your device" search box to find other versions. You will also want to enter the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting subforum for any questions as general threads with questions are moved/deleted.

I've made control F and typed galaxy s5 and galaxy s 5 in the main xda forums page but nothing was found, so i thought it is not yet been created as it is new phone
ok please move it to that one, i am still looking for those answers though
On the top-right side of this page you will find a search bar with: "Type to find your device..." and a small phone icon to the right of said bar. In there, type Galaxy S5. You will see on a drop down list with all of the variants of the S5. Click whichever applies to you, be it the Sprint variant, etc. Since you state you use the Dubai format you may want to go for the international variant. We won't be able to help as this is the S4 forum, however, the S5 forums are definitely active and available.
The S5 was terrible. I'm back to my S4 and happy. It is a step back. No SV-LTE for starters.
Moved to Sprint S5 Q&A.

device was defective in hardware, even software update (fresh software installation) did not help. unfortunately, many people had the same problem as Samsung representative stated earlier today, they took the device from me and will arrange for replacement soon. this is FYI guys.
Anyone getting the camera failed message? Full battery and have wiped data still wont load.

maybe hardware issue as happened with my new device, take it to Samsung warranty center, they may update the software and it works, otherwise, request replacement, i did that and they replaced it for me with new peace after 2 days
Had this issue ,camera worked fine the first day .Than bam no camera took it back to bestbuy . They replaced it that day.

watched forums [SOLVED]

on the left side. I added 1 and deleted 2 but nothing has changed.
what am I missing?
In watched thread, can't unwatch more than one at a time?
Refresh page?
nope. tried that. signed out/in. disabled any blockers.
is it just in the Watched Threads in the Menu (left side) or is it also that way when you go to it on the top of the page sub-menu under "Watched" or in your profile page?
watched forums left side that appears on every page.
watched thread in profile ,I can't seem to bulk uncheck.

At least for me, if I go through the sub-menu's of "Watched" at the top of the page, there are checkmarks on the right of each forum & thread in which I can then go to the bottom and select "With selected..." whatever action I wish and/or do the selections in the "Manage thread" button at the top.
I'm thinking -- particularly in terms of the watched forums on the left side -- that this might be some kind of cache issue and closing/restarting the browser -- or even a computer restart if you wanted to go that far about it -- might show the update/difference....I'm not sure, but it's an idea...
got threads. thanks. I must be blind.
I'll have to try to clear the cache on Firefox.
I restarted Firefox and that made no difference.
ah ha!
