Quick Question - General Questions and Answers

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".

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] 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] Certain Applications for Certain things?

For example, if you have 2 browsers, everytime u click a link, it will say "Chrome, Youtube" and then you have to chance to press Always. but then it pops up again... is there like a way to make Chrome not be viable for opening youtube links or something? Thanks for your help!

If you select Always, it is supposed to never show you the selection box again unless you reset app preferences or perhaps download a new option. Only thing I could think to try is reset app preferences and try it again.
Any app that you previously clicked "always use this app", can be reset, and next time you click a link, it will ask you what app you want to use....can he done by going to system settings, apps, all, find the app that's currently the default, click it....and click "clear defaults".
