Please allow posters to close their own thread. It's ridiculous! What is so harmful of us closing our own threads?
I think it is beneficial, for example:
1) OP feels harassed: closes thread
2) OP learns that there was already another, more prominent thread of the same issue: closes thread
3) OP wants too closes his upcoming software update but doesn't want to read other's post issues that he has fixed on the next version.
etc...
Why can't we close our own threads? Delete our own posts?
You should posted this on Sticky: (requests) From the Users to the Mods & Admins in About xda-developers.com section
This thread is the perfect example where you can´t close your mistake

whizzes around and posts alll over the place
I´m a robot.... you didn´t know?
Ask Mods, I´m an experiment on this site a multispammer killer app
Also there are a lot of multiposters like you or poetryrocksalot, so soon you´ll get me!
Cheers,

The magic power of a mod can stop this to be fun!
thats the paisa!!!! followin everybody! posting here and there! to whoever and is the Spamin killer here... is like... That big Spider on the corner of your wall... he eats other bugs and you dont need to kill 'em all.
BTW your req is nice but not so... cause even a stupid question here can becomes a great idea... and we can laugh a lot with them too!
Like this !!!!
Cheers for that Paisa!!!

I think that Orb has several comps and as many arms as an octopus
Getting back to reality tho..... i agree in that we should be able to close or delete or own threads, i mean how many times (no matter how experienced you are) have you posted something after too much wine/beer then re-read a post in the morning and thought....... [email protected]#K..... i obviously didnt read that properly or didnt grasp what was being said through the haze of ones ignorance/arrogance/confidence...... i mean, apart from orb we are all human and make mistakes yes?
Give us the choice to close/delete our thread once, What harm would it do, a mod could always change the action of closing the thread if they thought it could be useful at some time?

Yeah there was this one guy who posted in the Xperia forum and all he said was: DELETED (or something along that line)
I would understand how deleting one's post would harm the fact that the conversation becomes hard to understand due to the loss of dialogue. But maybe atleast add a feature to delete double posts, or a feature to disable double post until you wait 2 days.
There is no automatic weather update in manila 2.5.19211... I have ticked the "download data automatically". I have also selected every one hr. but updates seems to happen only when manually going to the weather page or tab. I am using udk Leo R7.

Then ASK in the thread of udK. Don't open new threads for simple things like this.
Post in right thread.
Don't open new threads if not really necessary.
Read and use the search-button.
And don't forget Google...

Hi. Ok, i have recently seen various post where people are asking for help about a partiqular issue. Yet all the the time, u have been either rude or cockey and totally demotivating.
I can understand your fustration that some people may have not used the search function,have posted in the wrong thread, or ultimatley have started a new thread, but i feel that is not the way to respond. y dont u just point them to the right direction in a more friendly way?
we were all a newbie once...(well i still am Lol!!)
I hope u dont take it the wrong way, but i personally wouldnt like it if someone responded like that. As a senior member, we look up to you guys to try and help us and or point us to the right direction.

Thanks to all who don't use search and open directly a new thread, it is more difficult to find something for the searching people (like me), because you get a huge number of hits with irrelevant threads... Get it?
I don't want to demotivate but motivate to search and read. When you give directly a helping link, they stay doing it.
Seeing every time new opened threads from newbies with every time the same silly questions, that's very demotivating for us, the people who supposed to help you. And that's what you'r looking for here, somebody who wants to help you. We don't have to do it, but we like it because this forum is a bit like a hobby for us.
So, we can shoose, saying nothing more or trying to teach you how a forum works. I prefer the last thing... And if somebody like me (the bad one) point you in the right direction, it's not for beeing bad, but for getting a better usefull forum. You can see in my posthistory that it's really multiple times a day that new useless threads were opened...
Normally it's a work for the moderators, but they also have a live and can not be always here, because also them are doing this as a hobby. Be all glad that I don't be one of them or it was the same comment and also closing the thread directly.
I take some time for this post because I can quote him for futur use when I get comments again from not-readers, not-searchers, new-post-openers and silly-question-posters...
If you have really followed my posts, you know that I help a lot when the rules are followed a bit...
And do you know why I can help others? Because I read a lot...
I am using UDK R7, I get the updates,.. have you tried a hard reset see if that sorts it out...
Sorry that i posted to wrong section. I thought it was a problem with Sense and not the rom, reason being my posting to this section. I think hard resetting would be extreme. Will search and see if anything comes up.

I understand bro, all i was getting at was just try to put it in a nicer way,thats all. regarding "silly" posts or questions, yeah, i have seen some VERY silly questions and i think to myself "the human stupidity IS infinite"! and i understand that it is coz of those posts/questions, ppl can get fustrated as it does clutter the forum.
I know you have helped alot of ppl, continue to do so.
i admit i personally havnt had alot of input in the forum as i still am a newbie, and anytime i have thought of answering a question, i fall back thinking if i am giving the right or wrong answer as i dont wanna make a fool out of myelf just being honest bro.
I'm sure there's a post related to this, but I haven't been able to locate the information.
I have an ATT Pure version of Topaz
My question is the icon (slider) bar on the phone has a blue background behind the icons and it wont go away. I'm new to making mods to the phone say is there a cab out there to chang this? and or if a file what do I do in order to add it into the phone and update this blue bar. I'd prefer it to be clear and allow my wallpaper to show through it.
Thanks for your time and help

Search for a transparant slider. Not so difficult...
Don't open a new thread for each question you have.

Koen-ronse, these forums are littered with you telling people to search for things. You can see that some people are noobies and don't yet know the terminology or even the language, but you persist. I have checked your posts and sure enough about 50% of these relate to you telling people off for not searching. Please stop it. I waste more of my time reading your unhelpful posts like this than those of other people.
Triton 360 - it is not the transparant SLIDER you need to find, it is the transparant CURTAINS. Depending on what Manila you have will depend on what you will need. Check your manila type in the settings tab of your touch flo. Then search for the right one for your phone. If your TouchFLO 3D number starts with 2.0, then you will be able to use the file attached here. You can of course try it anyway, but if you do, be sure to back-up first.

But even with the exact words it's difficult to find the right thread or post if you're searching something. And that was not a problem about 2 years ago. That's started with all the new users now. It takes a little work, but if everybody does a little effort, this forum can be a strong instrument again...
Before htc was only buyed by people who were really interested. Now htc is a more commercial product. People buy it and thereafter they can not work with it. They are not interested, they just want that it works. So they don't read, don't search... They just want an instant solution or link for there problem... Result: 100's questions of the same type... It's really demotivating for people who love there device and want to learn and share knowledge here...
I really hope that mods can do something at that, but i'm afraid it's a hopeless situation. I'm allready happy if I can prevent somebody of opening a second useless thread, even the first one is allready one to much...

If they don't open a useless new thread, but post there question in the right excisting one, you even don't have to open it...
I have had to read through more flaming posts than stupid questions lately.
Its quite annoying.
Thanks! mitsi, that did the trick.
Sorry Koen I was unware of what that object was called, so I was looking for "sliders" and not finding the information I was looking for.
Thanks again.
Interesting...
Couple members on this, Topaz XDA underforum, have behaviour like MODs or ADMIN, but them ARE DIDNT THAT...Why this members get mods job ??? You are "members" or "senior members"...dont "moderator" or "administrator"...And if dont will, or if dont know helping oder "younger" members or "newbies" , than please dont reply with "clevering"... But, if something isnt about forum rules, that make "clean" moderators...
Thanks and

Many of us are struggling to find the exact words or terms.
But i read your post and sorry for the blame

Why cant you just help? a lot of new posts you are the second poster with a smart ass remark. If your not the second poster by chance, you reply the same useless garbage that the 5 previous mod wannabess just posted. every single mis posted thread, every freakin one of them. this is hilarious.. Every thread i read that is questionable about location, you have to chime in and tell it. Do you think the mods need or even want your help? Do you not think they got the message already? Did the mods ask you to troll the forums and tell people to use the search button? That clogs the forums up more than the actual post you are complaining about. If you let the op know tactfully that his/her thread was in the wrong place that's one thing. But the way you do it, (not referring to this thread, most of your others though) after it's been done multiple times already is not needed and is actually pretty rude. Why may i ask do you do it? You can see the comments you make have just been made 5 times previously (not this thread, majority of your other posts). Just leave everyone alone until you become a mod then worry about it. Let me guess, how old are you? 14? check your posts, 85% of them are useless no help trolling. I know i'm the pot calling the kettle black, kind of.. just calm down a little please sir, let the mods mod. They do not need your input cluttering the forums (like mine) I have not yet heard them ask for help or ask for tattle tales. /pet peeve, sorry. Whats the difference? The difference here is i'll say this once and be done. What you say you do it a hundred times and dont stop.
