Hi,
I cannot post in a threat using "Quick Reply". the form is grey and I can't click inside:
In User CP I choose "Standard Editor - (...)" (Edit Option)? JavaScript is active (Browser: Mozilla Firefox).
What's the problem?
Well I am not sure what you have done so I will tell you what I have done,
In your post at the bottom right hand side there are 3 Icons "edit" "quote" and a "Quick Reply"
This is the Icon that I pressed, it took me into to Quick Reply message were all I then had to do was write this and press "Post Quick Reply".
Ah, sorry about this (a little bit dull *g*).
So it works good for me.

Is it possible to remove the text START next to the start button?
I would only like to have a start button with the word (start) next to it.
Takes space in the bar
Wisbar Lite does remove the text Start next to the button, but I'd like to know how to remove the text in registry. Is there a key for this?
or just have the "window" icon, no need for the word "start"
I am trying to do the same thing. I tried to search the wiki first and didn't find an answer. I don't want to have to install wisbar just to ditch the "start" text.
anyone have an update?
i will look into it later, my guess is that it in the shellres.96.dll file
EDIT: I just looked and its not there i also tried shellres.dll and its not there either. sooo i don't know
Any update for this thread?
Still looking for a way to remove the word START from the top menu bar.

Welcome to the forum
Have a look into dev & hack section, I´m sure I saw a thread regarding this
Hope it helps,
WM6 Easter Eggs - WM6 Features (search terms)
This is a list of new and little known features in WM6.
Please add any I miss to this thread and I will try to put them in this post (with credit of course)
1. Typing on the keyboard on the today screen will automatically bring up the phone with matching contacts. Certain phone skins do not support this and you will just get a text box with scroll bars covering half the screen but nothing in it. If this happens switch your phone app with the Tweak app (varies depending on who’s WM6 you are running)
2. From Messaging (Outlook, SMS, MMS, [POP/IMAP? not tested] ) if you start typing it will search through your messages for whatever you type. Hold “H” for a list of shortcuts. I think the shortcut keys mean hold that letter.
3. Under calendar; If you create a new appointment and decide you don’t want it, you can now pres menu and cancel (cancel was not in wm5)
4. When typing in WiFi keys (WPA, WEP, whatever) you can actually see what you are typing instead of just ******.
5. The new feature I found that I love is if you go into the options for the calendar you can now set it to start in Month view (or whatever view you prefer). I couldn't stand the fact that WM5 kept reverting back to agenda!
(Thanks chymmylt!)
6. The camera finally keeps adjustments like contrast and sharpness saved.
Previously if you soft reset or power off and on the phone, these settings would always revert back to the defaults.
(Thanks abubasim!)
7. In Contacts, when you edit a contact you now have 'File As' useful if you want Forename Surname instead of the default Surname, Forename
(Thanks nbedford! [I installed the "File As" plugin and never noticed that it the ability to change it was built in =)] )
8. In Outlook, if you [Reply All] by default it copies your own email address into the recipient list, so you receive your own mails, even if you auto-save them already in Sent Folder. I found that extremely annoying because with every [Reply All] I had to manually remove my email address before sending.
You can avoid this easily:
1. Programs -> ActiveSync
2. Menu -> Options
3. Select the E-mail information type and tap Settings
4. Tap Advanced
5. Enter the e-mail address you want to remove when replying to all senders in My e-mail addresses
(Thanks aublumberg, This applys to WM5 also but not to many people know this one.)
Let me know if this is a waste of space, and if not, lets keep this thread on topic and point out all the fun reasons to use WM6.
Later, Lew
thanks. couple those i didnt know about.
not quite "easter eggs" though are they
thanks for sharing this information
i found the firts two points very usefull, and (correct me if i'am wrong) due to the lack of a propper wm6 manual i think this thread comes quite handy

Bump for added Features.
Not new, but little known and well hidden:
- press and hold the action button
- tap and hold the clock in the title bar until the dots stop moving
- when you release both the stylus and the action button, you get a small menu with an "execute" (or "run") entry. Tap that to get sort of a command line prompt.
Cheers
Daniel
Very nice thread. thnx for the little hints

This is a real easter egg!
WIKI Pls
In the interest of WIKI and promoting the use of knowledge being written once and used many times, there is already a knowledgebase for this with lots of stuff, if you can add yours and close this, everybody will know where to go for their easter eggs...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Buttons
Tap and hold the clock on the title bar lets you switch between digital and analog disply - no idea that happened until now!
I guess, you already know this...
Pressing the "power button" for 3 seconds turns off (not just standby) the device (with WM2003 it wasn't possible...)
This is probably an old one but I didn't know it myself until Googling for it:
In Solitaire, open the on-screen keyboard, tap Ctl and Shift and then Deal. It gives you the perfect hand.
Source: The Easter Egg Archive. The site has a few more . . . of which this one is the only one that seems to be working.

Yes i know but...i have never touched a manual for mobile devices
BTW: i don't need this function
Good and handy tips!!! Thank you.
Firstly, I apologize for so a terribly novice question; I have looked and googled but part of my problem is I believe I am asking the question wrong.
So, I am just trying to build a VERY simple wp7 program. Main page would have several buttons, which pressing would take you to a page with information on the topic of the button you just pushed, and with another button back to the home screen. Again, very simple. For example, it could be an app of The Rolling Stones, and each button would be a link to a band member's small bio. Nothing too fancy, just dipping my toes.
My problem is I cannot find the action I need to attribute to a button. I can build the home screen and add buttons and text easy enough, and make the other "pages" or screens, but I do not know how to make the button navigate to those pages. And every search I do results in explanations of how to add web links, which is not what I want to do.
Sorry for the newb question, but I appreciate all responses and advice.
There are several ways to do the job:
1. - Define "Click" event for Button (double click on button in designer or on events properties);
- Add "using System.Windows.Navigation;" at the top of your main page .cs file;
- Add "NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/NewPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative));" to the "Click" event handler
2. - Open you page in Expression Blend;
- In the "Assets" (left top corner) window select "Behaviors";
- drag "NavigateToPageAction" to your button;
- fill "TargetPage" property (at the right top corner)
3. You may also manually edit your page.xaml source (see the source changes after using method 2)
Put any Button on the Page, simply Double Click that button, this will generate by Default a Click Action Event Handler, in this write the following
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("PageName.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
also, you should NOT add buttons to go back, developers are encouraged to have users using the hardware key for going back as you are simply adding more and more to the Navigation Stack which is responsible for keeping track of the users Navigation through Apps, kind of like your Web Browser, you navigate to google,. then 10 pages later, and if you navigate back by URL rather than the built in "GoBack" function for the browser, you end up clicking the back button a hundred times going forward to the page you stopped looking for information then to every page in between which you navigated through to get to that information, it just uses more Memory and for a users experience you should not use buttons that go back let the user control the flow
Good luck on your app mate
Am I missing some way to easily navigate back to the forum page when I'm at the bottom of a thread of postings?
vBulletin (that's not what we're using here, right?) has a dropdown at the bottom of every page where you can select a forum to navigate to, and by default it always has the current forum being read already selected, so you can just hit GO.
Here in XDA I get to the bottom of a page and can't figure out how to get back to the topic listing, except by going back to the top of the page, and clicking on the forum name in the forum->subforum->threadTitle navigation.
This is very cumbersome.
Pressing the BACK button on the keyboard is certainly an option, but this suffers from not updating the topic listing page, so I can't easily see which threads have new posts since I last visited them.
Sorry for the small novel explaining this.
If you use Chrome then you could use the XDA Toolbar (see my sig), made by one of the handsome and witty intelligent devs of this very site
It currently has a "Jump to top of page" button on it, which will halve your problem, but there will be a release soon that will include the ability to double-click that very same button and go to the parent forum (exactly like what you're asking for). The advantage of this is that you have to be neither at the top or bottom of the page to use it.
If you don't use Chrome, get used to pressing the home key a lot
Thanks for the response! Yes, I found the 'top' line quite a while ago, but never thought of using the home key. That helps a lot.
I look forward to the upgrade!
When using OfficeSuite with the QuickSpell package installed, a misspelled word gets the red squiggly line underneath, but I don't see any way to get alternate or suggested spellings.
Anyone know how to do this?

There's no official way... I googled it, since I use the Kingsoft Office..... But there's no way, at least no official way.

Really? Bummer. The interaction design leads the user to think that if they tap or long press the red squiggly line, that spelling suggestions would be presented. Kinda misleading.
Figured it out - totally by accident....
If you go to a word that is marked as misspelled, you need to:
- tap the word
- select the menu icon (the three dots)
- select "Edit"
- select "Check Spelling"
This opens a sub-pane presenting the app's full spelling functionality.
Works - but this is very buried in the user interface - no where near where a user might expect it, which would be right when you tap the word. This has become a standard convention in Android. Hope the Devs address this.
