How do I change my location?

On my profile I want my location to show up...how do I do this?? Not a noob when it comes to forums but I have looked all over! Tried searching but my terms were too generic no matter what I put in (plus I'm lazy). Can anyone help me with this?

There still seems to be a bug in the forum software. Normally you should be able to configure this in your UserCP (User Control Panel), but the menu entry for this group of settings does not show up anymore.
But you can use this link directly in order to adapt your settings.

you are abusing others will and ability to help
the fact that you are lazy isn't justifying that
in few last days there were about 6 threads about changing location
so get your lazy ass up and read

Whatever dude, I looked and did search. Maybe they should fix this bug and no one would have to ask. Oh and thank you Foo.

Looks like this can be done without magic links.
At the top of the Forum Click "Quick Links" > "Edit your details".
Thanks

[PROBLEM] I can't send PM on xda [Maybe Solved]

Hey guys i'm sorry to post in this section but i don't know where i can post!
So, i've a problem, people don't receive my PM on xda, and i don't know why :/
Help me please for fixe it!

That's really weird.
It must have something to do with your internet connection.
It's best to move this thread to the 'about xda-developers' section.
use the red triangle in the right top of your post to ask to move your thread.

Moved to About XDA.
Try to send me a PM.
I'll pass this on to Admin.

I've sent you a PM to test if you can receive / reply...
Dave

If it works it's my HomePC beacause i used my laptop rightnow

Dave

Hi all! Thanks for your help!

Can't send neither! When I send a message it doesn't come in the sentbox?!
Or could I send a test message to someone ?
Thanks in advance

welcome to xda
I expect that to be a different restriction you are suffering from: it's applying to junior members to help prevent spam
you might notice two other ones: posting urls and creating a signature won't work either until you have 10+ posts (far as i know)
so with a little patience this should resolve itself
if not post here and I will notify a moderator/admin for you
best

Thanks for your reply and explanation!
I'll try to get a few posts then... but hey, gently without spamming
Cheers

Hi guys,
I now have +10 posts and still have the impression I cannot send PMs. When composed a message, I click submit and I'm directly referred to the PM overview page with this text: "Private Messages in Folder: Inbox"
When I check my 'Sent items' there still empty. Thanks in advance!

I'll pm you, lets see if reply works

It may simply be that your Private Messaging is turned off.
Go to User CP on the brown bar above. Choose Edit Options on the page that appears.
Scroll down slowly through many options and you will find an option to turn on and off Private Messaging (both sending and Receiving).
NB When finished don't forget to click SAVE at the bottom of the page.
(If Private Messaging is enabled already, try unchecking it (save) then go back and recheck it and save again.)

hi
out of curiosity: pm usage works immediately (if setup correctly) or is it part of the anti-spam-pack?
in case the issue comes up again I prefer passing on facts instead of speculating like I did this time
thx

To be honest I don't know (it is possible it is part of the anti-spam measures) - I'll try to find out.
Mike

Or the other possibility is that the setting to save sent pm's isn't on as that could make you think that it's not sent.

I have a similar problem : I can use PM (I received some, and received answers from mine), but I cannot see any message in the outbox...

You need to enable this option in your forum profile options.
Click here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editoptions
Find the "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default" option and tick the box to enable it

No problem
I think it's not ticked by default, as they add to the overall PM quota, and most people don't really need a copy of sent PMs.

[Q] Cannot view event reminder in User CP

Hi,
When I go on the User Control Panel and I click on Event Reminder on the left side of the page, I get a message saying that I might not have the privilege to view it, and it says it's some kind of developer page. I have no idea what it is, but why am I being restricted to view to the Event Reminder? Very weird, has anyone else got this problem?

I believe we switched it off some time ago to better use the servers for other tasks.

Oh OK. By the way, if we ask one of the mods to change our username and they do then if anyone searches for our posts will we still get the results for the posts that we made before the username change?
Also if we change our username then will there be some kind of notice on our posts about the username change?

You would need to get mike to do the change. And yes it is possible to find old posts, but not hugely easy

Need help with twrp

Hey need help I made a back up before I flashed a rom I want to restore the back up but its not showing in restore. But i see it when i check the sd card. My question is, is there something special I need to do to restore my back up
Sent from my SPH-L900 using XDA Premium HD app

Do you remember if you made the backup onto the external sd or internal storage? Try changing that option at the top when your at the restore screen since it may have been switched by accident.

Twrp isn't seeing the sdcard known bug. Transfer the backup to the actual phone memory and proceed to restoring :thumbup:
If you've been helped hit the "Thanks" button.

I put it in the Internal sd I moved it to the external but it still dose show

Seriously. I pressed every button I could find (I may have accidentally reported you, sorry)
All I see is -
date / time / post # / report button
your Avatar / Username / online status / rank /Join date / location / carrier
A folder icon(says default when hovering)
Your text
Your Signature
Quote / Multi-quote
I found no way to thank you or anybody else. I did find how to PM, add, ignore, profile or find your posts. The closest thing I found was rating the whole thread.

No. Let me try a different browser.
Interesting, on I.E. I get the Thanks button. I also see a Twitter, FaceBook and Google+ button too.
Unfortunately, I like FireFox too much. I will thank both of you in the other browser.

Weird, I only use Firefox and I've always seen all of the buttons. Maybe you have an ad blocker of some kind that is preventing it from being displayed.

I turned off all my Ad Blockers and reloaded the page. I also cleared the cache to be sure. It still doesn't show up.
Thanks, I was really just curious where that button was that I kept seeing being referenced to.
I will make sure to open XDA in I.E. to give thanks when needed.

Question/Help XDA Thread Layout changed.... Hard to navigate...

Somehow my layout changed to where all the threads are not in order... It only shows 1 post at a time. I have to goto the top and click a link of each thread to load them one by one underneath.... I attached a pic to help show you what I mean. I cant figure out how to fix it at all. Can anyone help me?

Hello,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editoptions
But why are you able to see deleted Threads ?

Thank you so much!!! I dont know HOW it got changed, I just know it was DRIVING ME INSANE!!!! Wow i tried forever to find that setting!! I dont recall ever changing it to begin with tho! And I dont know why i can see deleted posts haha I did see a few like that while searching and it confused me if thats what it really was haha.

Maybe @MikeChannon can check this.

Curiously, this happened to me a week or two back. Changed from newest first to threaded mode all by itself, though actually the setting was still set correctly. Just had to resave the settings.
I'll report it to the backend guys though.

Right, ok, thanks. Actually as I remember when this happened to me, it said thread deleted top left on all threads so I don't think it is really showing deleted threads.
Mike

I've had this happen too. But for me, it seemed it was a specific mobile browser issue. I switched browsers and it was fine. Never touched my settings.
And yup, everything said deleted. Really confused me at first. Lol
And a note, going back to that browser after awhile, all was fine. Go figure.
