I am in the forum for my phone and there is not a QandA forum as I was told from my previous closed thread. The QandA I need would obviously be within my phones section which is here. Either the mods are incorrect or the forum is organized incorrectly.
How do I remove stock apps such as Amazon, calendar, gtalk, etc. ?
dont it can stop you from getting past setup screen and other probs..
But this is the wrong section im not sure if you using a dreaming or some other non-htc andro phone.

posting a second thread after the first one is closed is not the greatest of ideas .. try the Q&A section and search bar .. but some of them should not be removed .. but not even sure why you want them removed

Start 1 more thread in the WRONG forum and you will be temp banned quicker then you can hit 5 posts.
Take the time to look at the format of the forum BEFORE POSTING..
Thread locked
I got the following error when I wanted to post a message in the Desire HD General Discussion:
To prevent spam to the forums, new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.
I'm not a new member and neither pasted a link, so what am I doing wrong?
Users can't post links until they have 8-10 posts. And you're not trying to add an image or something?
good day.
Nope, just plain text. I just tried to post it again, and now it works. Maybe someone saw my post

I think the moderator has to, you can edit your post and request the delete and mark the reason why.
or you can report the post and request it be deleted...

ok thanks guys.
Thanks for the help.
Contacting a moderator just to have one's own post edited or deleted? That is a far more 'suboptimal' procedure causing more work and wasting more time of both members and moderators than what is necessary. Every other board on the planet has a simple button for editing or deleting one's own posts, so what is supposed to be the 'reason' behind this peculiar restriction?

Threads do not get deleted here, they can only be opened or closed.
The Moderators here do delete posts, but only under specific conditions, they don't delete posts just because you want it removed.
You can edit your own posts to remove whatever you want from your posts but you have to leave at least 2 characters.
The way I do it is I delete what is in the post an leave .. in its place.

Hmmm ... looks like a case of «what are all the other boards on the web doing wrong and only we doing it right?», because it would be cleaner and leave threads with less clutter if one could cut for good what is no longer needed/correct and will only confuse people, would it not? nevertheless and be that as it may, thank you for the explanation and suggestion.

The Reporting Feature is also used for closing a thread as well...
There's really nothing wrong with using the reporting feature for a thread and isn't negatively viewed by a Moderator/Administrator to just to simply close it.
The following steps are the best way to have a thread closed by a Moderator (and they prefer to be asked by the specific member who opened the thread... that's you).
{FYI... The Moderators prefer not to delete a thread unless it's necessary to do so. Closing a thread keeps the information available for other members to learn from it as well.}
1) On the first post, select the bottom left triangle (reporting a post).
2) When the next page loads, select the reason on drop down section (at the bottom left of the text area), then select the one that states "Thread/post moving or maintenance".
3) If it's because your question was simply answered, then type the reason within the text area. Something simple like "Can you please close this thread because my posted question has been answered." (you can also tell them that "Ibuprophen is awesome" LOL!).
4) Finally, select the "Send report" and you'll then be taken back to the thread. Your all set!
The report is then listed on cue for a Moderator. It typically takes anywhere from 10 min to a day or two. The Moderators are very good and are pretty much on top of things.
Reporting a thread isn't intended as a bad thing. It just elevates having to send call-outs and PM's to a bunch of Moderators till one is available.
You've now graduated from the "Closing a thread 101" course! LMAO!!!
Good Luck!

Thanks, that was a nice tutorial on an indispensable functionality on any discussion board. Have a sunny afternoon.

That's all well and good for closing threads, but having posts deleted isn't going to happen unless the post violates one of the XDA rules and gets reported to a Moderator, if there is no violation, the post does not get deleted, even if reported. Instead, it must be edited by the poster.

That's the shortcoming of the system, for which your little « ... » edit is probably the best workaround under the circumstances. Nevertheless, simply being able to delete one's own posts would leave threads looking less cluttered and be a quicker and more elegant solution -- especially when information provided in a guide or tutorial becomes outdated and leads to confusion.
Well, since there is nothing we ordinary mortals can do about it, I thank both of you for your input, maybe one fine day the powers that be see the light.
The best solution in this case is to be silent
So I got a PM off a guy asking me what wallpaper I have and i replied about 3 times, each because the message did not show in the conversation (below his original message), Or in the sent list.
Clicked his profile and composed a PM, still not in my sent box. ?
I have searched XDA, found two results that look useful
the first results to finding out the user has less than 10 posts (XDA says i have 55)
and the second was "maybe the recipient blocked you"
Sorry if this is in the wrong place
Hi there,
Please post your problem here: [All XDA Members] Requests to Moderators and Admins
Good luck
Hi,
Great site, this is very useful to find information about supporting mods to devices!
I had a question about the number of posts, I am a junior member and as such, there are some threads I can`t post to.
However, my number of posts is not incremented anymore when I add new posts. If I search for posts submitted by myself, 6 posts are returned. However, my post count is stuck at 2.
Is there something I need to do to re-sync this?
Thanks!

I seem to have found the answer, I am using Ghostery as a tracker blocker, and it seems when active, it prevents the post count to be incremented. As long as I deactivate it before posting, it seems to increment the post count fine.
