[Q] Can't change signature - General Questions and Answers

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I can change my city, carrier, twitter name, etc, but there is no "pencil" next to my signature (which is terribly out of date and needs updating).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?

how to remove titles of apps?

im not sure if it is available to do yet but i am currently running 2.1 Eclair Hero Rom (Eugene373)
as currently with any ROM for example browser icon would show the 'browser' title. is there anyway that we can removing titling for the application shortcuts on the homescreen without using different UI (home replacements)?

I don't know if you can ... I know that when developing the app for example in eclipse, that is the first thing you do. you set the title of the app.
You like many other people are still posting these questions in development. I kindly ask if you can please read the first post in development. It explains where this post should be posted.
have a good day!
I don't know the answer I'm afraid but this would be better placed in the developers thread or even in Q&A.
Please take the time to read the stickied threads on the forum, the last one in particular.
Hope you find what your looking for.

Both me and Rooktard said we did not know the answer and was merely trying to move him to the appropriate place to post.
If people didn't understand where to post then we would never be able to find any roms or mods due to the amount of junk being posted anywhere. That is why the site managers wwent to the trouble of providing a structured format for each differing section.
The only true way to help them is by steering them onto the correct path making it a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

True. Not a problem at all.
---Begin generalities talk---
Its just that this place is getting kinda miserable with all the "WRONG FORUM" replies. It's just a simple mistake, it doesn't need to be repeated by several people in the same thread.

Carry on...

Well the repeat was due to both repling at the same time as this is not live I cannot see what's replied to whilst I type.
And we had a thread last night that got silly because rather than help I posted something that got some upset.
Seems being nice gets you the same amount of people unhappy as just being straight to the point.
Guess we just can't win with some .....
oohhh! i am very sorry i totally forgot to put it in the right section.
thanks for help also, ill be happy with what i have but it seems it could be a possibility at some time.
technically it could be in this section because it could be developed but im no expert at doing so..>.<
but yeah thanks for the heads up.
i always visit the dream development because i always do tweakings to my phone and it was 1st instincts as soon as i loaded xda
any moderator able to transfer it to Q&A G1?
thanks for the answers xda's
I have a question but I'm to lazy to think or search.....ill make a new thread in dev section n mu question is Have u seen my brain?
Here are a couple of things to try, not sure if any or all will work or not.
1. Use Bettercut or Anycut, choose edit an existing, then for your first icon that you want to remove the name for, replace it with one space (hit the spacebar once). For the second one, replace the name with two spaces. For the third, three spaces. And so on. I'm almost positive this one will work.
2. If #1 doesn't work, I'm not sure whether or not the homescreen recognizes HTML code or not. If it does, instead of using spaces, type the following instead of a space. You'll need to do this for each space you are trying to type (and do not type the quotation marks): " "
3. If #1 and #2 don't work, then hold down ALT and press the spacebar once. That should create a ANSI space. You'll want to do that for each space you're wanting to create.
Since I believe each icon on the homescreen has to have a different name (Don't have my phone right now to test it), that's why you'll need a different number of spaces for each name. In other words, the 1st icon would need 1 space, the 2nd icon would need 2 spaces, the 3rd icon would need four spaces, etc. That may not be entirely necessary, but it won't hurt anything either.
Please let me know which, if any, of these tricks work.
Wish I could test this and give you the exact answer. But I believe the first example works. Grab Anycut off the Market and give it a try.

I used betterCut and I used one space for a shortcut. Well... It works if you don't mind that text background still there. So its not really great.

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!

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] new quoted posts link has stopped working correctly

Before today, when someone would quote one of my posts, I'd click on the new quotes notification in the notifications dropdown menu and it would show me the list of quotes. Then I could click to go directly to the quote. Starting today, clicking the new post quotes takes me to my profile page, and then the notifications get cleared. And then I can't find a way to see what's recently been quoted. Is it just me, or did something change in the past day?

same here!!
edit:
mine is now fixed!
this has been happening to me from the first day!
It's working for me now. I directly entered this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/usertag.php?do=profilenotif&tab=quotes
into the address bar, and it worked. Since then, the link in my notifications' dropdown works, but I wouldn't think that I somehow fixed it myself.

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".
