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

In BSB6.5P, several problems exist

1, in this version, after i finish doing the settings, i click "X" then dircetly return back to the today screen. However in the original version, for instance the BSB6.5O, i can still return back to the the submenu. I know this is not a bug, but such kind of design is really troublesome. As U know, u have to repeat the same procedures in order to do one setting.
2, The button take no effect if the device is locked, even i choose “ Do not lock the button if the device is power off". I can only use my finger to press the power button in the top to lighten my screen.
3, How could i separately change the system volumn and the ring volumn? A new VGA menu have added instead of the popup, so i can't find the original popup to change the volumn. Pressing the volumn up/down button, i can only change the volumn. The problem is such menu indicate the volumn changes for system, or income ring? Who knows.
I hope anyone can give me the solutions. I just online waiting for your reply~

Who knows？

maybe if you post in the good thread you will have an answer.

What happened to the upper-page jump to ?

What happened to the upper-page jump to page links ?
There was an page link at the TOP and Bottom of the form page!
But Now ONLY the bottom of the thread .. Its a real pain in the Butt!
to have to scroll all the way to the bottom of 50 posts to get to the page links !
Please Bring it back Please !

Yes please. This stinks. I guess i must have something with having readers scroll thru as much info before making a post.
But you cant destroy the user experience for all the rest just because of a few.
Please change it back, pronto!

Are we saving electricity or real estate? Please bring that top page switcher back!! It was great before it was "improved"!

Never thought about it this way, but that could be one reason. However it's pretty annoying, for example, when you're looking through a thread to figure out where you are, and you go to the next page, see that you've been on this one already, and have to go to the bottom to go to the next page. And since the bottom of the page is not actually where the next page button is, it takes some time.

Yea ! Thanks ! I was sure hoping to hear that !

Hope you find the bug as soon as possible because this situation is very annoying.

Scroll down to bottom of page and change theme from xda 2010 to xda classic and you will have upper page jump back. It changes the look, but you will have the jump back.

I'm glad to know it's a bug, I thought I changed something
It's indeed very annoying without it.
Good luck finding the bug.
btw, if I switch to 'hybrid mode' I get the page numbers back. But it's a not really in the right place. Maybe it helps.

It has been restored now.

thank you
thanks xda-developers

how to add favourites XDA android app

Hi guys I'm still quite new to the forums and have just purchased the XDA premium app for android but I cant seem to find how to favourite a thread so it will show in the favourites tab. all helps appreciated thanks!

It's cool man - find the topic you like, press and hold on it then choose subscribe. It'll then show up under favorites. I believe you have to from the list of topics though, not while you're actually viewing it. Hope this helps!

That is quiet not user friendly, since we have "subscribe" to receive email notifications for new replies...
Talking about confusing, eh?

yes, poorly implemented.
With such a large forum I thought favorites would be helpful to shortcut to the sub-forums I read.
subscribe to make a favorite. to me that implies I would get alerts for all new posts which I don't want. we'll see.

You can shortcut the forums you'd like.
Simply long press on it and a Create Shortcut option is the bottom option.
Also, no you won't get alerts for all new posts. The only way you get alerted for new posts, is if you subscribe to a single thread and change the option to get notified.

Hopefully this isn't too stupid of a question, but is there a search function for the app?

Question Why no sections in the pixel 6 pro forum?

This makes mobile viewing really annoying, will XDA fix this?

We used to have sections for older devices but this is now the norm

It's seriously stupid this new format

There's no going back. You can tap the section tab (different colors) at the forum top to filter your preference...

Yep. I had thought the same thing as OP initially. But once I had discovered what you mentioned, it became much easier to navigate on mobile.

i mean could be worse could be the xda app

Now I could be wrong here, but it appears that you are using the app (as it looks different from what I see using the website).
Regardless, the sections scrolling tab should be near the top of the main "Google Pixel 6 Pro" page here on XDA (just below the top page counter/selector).

Would make far more sense if I could click one of them to ignore as well though. I've no interest in rooting this phone so if I could ignore all development threads it would be better for me.
