Hi All,
Under a profile's Privacy Policy, the defaults are "Everyone" for the various items such as "Contact Info"
I would like to be able to select "No One." Please consider adding the option for non-sharing (its not really privacy if I have to select who to allow - that makes it a sharing policy).

OK, thanks.
I've seen posts moved in the past. Will a moderator move it? I don't see an option to move messages. Or do I delete it (and the thread) and repost it?

My bad. Apparently I cannot post there either. It looks like a moderator will have to move it.

You should be able to post there, I have seen other new users post there.

Please allow posters to close their own threads and delete double posts. It's ridiculous not to have this feature!!!
What is so harmful about us closing our own threads?
I think it is beneficial, for example:
1) OP feels harassed: closes thread
2) OP learns that there was already another, more prominent thread of the same issue: closes thread
3) OP wants too closes his upcoming software update but doesn't want to read other's post issues that he has fixed on the next version.
etc...
Why can't we close our own threads? Delete our own posts?
For ***sakes look at these threads:

If you aren't going to implement this then atleast tell us why in the world we can't delete our posts!
Here is my previous thread posted at the wrong forum:

After reading Mike´s post it is clear that the best and easyest way is to click on the red button asking an experienced Mod to do the action, otherwise it can be a democratic chaos...
Just my opinion.

It sounds obvious that you should be able to delete your own posts. However, it can cause chaos! Once you create a thread you do not own it, particularly if other users have contributed posts to the thread.

I agree, Just because you posted a thread, doesn't mean it's your thread. This is a community with no personal ownership of posts or threads.
mikechannon said:
Deleting the first post in a thread deletes the whole thread. This could be a long running thread with many posts and pages. To allow this thread to suddenly vanish because the OP deletes the first post can upset many contributing users.

However, it's relatively easy to have the odd post removed by clicking on the report post (red triangle) that appears on all posts. All you need do is say something like "please delete my double post" or "delete my post it's in the wrong forum" etc etc

Once again I reinforce Mike's statement. The Mods are here to assist you, please make use of our services.
mikechannon said:
There are also a couple of other fiddly reasons why it's best for a Mod to delete posts - one is that a Mod can also move the post to Trash. You may not know that deleted posts are still visible to Mods and leaving them kicking around forums makes things look very messy to Mods even if other users see a nice tidy board. Another reason not to allow user delete is that a very few users could use this to cover up "provocative posting" or just to cause trouble with other members. (You can imagine for example, that a ROM thread suddenly disappearing because the cook is bored with it could lead to lots of frustration amongst users and extra work for Admin and Mods.)
Just use the report icon or contact a Mod - quick and easy

Just basically report to mods is the summation here.
Got a question about deleting a post:
Once a post is deleted, then all posts after it in the same thread will be changed a post#. E.g, if post#2 is deleted, then post#3 became #2, #4 become #3 etc. But if the original post#3 is cross-linked to another thread using the 'view single post' function. In such a case, will the cross-link url address be updated accordingly?
The link will be to the deleted post, no re-shuffle will occur.
The URL is showpost.php and p=4153097 ("p" is the post number, not the thread number, that will be "t").
Here is one I deleted from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4153097&postcount=6
As a moderator, I can see deleted posts. Try that URL above
Dave
In the above case, seems you deleted the whole thread.This is the url you pointed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4153097&postcount=6,
And I can not access these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4153097&postcount=5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4153097&postcount=7
My question is for example in this thread we are talking in,
if you deleted this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4121794&postcount=3.
But I already crosslinked this post (next one to the deleted) with this url: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4132664&postcount=4.
So my above url will become this post, is that right?
BTW, sometimes I can see the contents of deleted post from a google search result.
Edit: Ok, seems I got it, you said no re-shuffle. That means if #3 deleted, , #5 is still #5, so there is no influance on crosslink address of posts. Thanks.
I'm probably missing something here, but: Is there a way to remove a closed poll in one of my threads, so that I can create another one, when needed? I looked under the thread options, as well as the options in the OP (Advanced Edit mode), but could not find any way to do this.
Thread in question is in my signature.
No but admin can, if want to link the thread here I'll pass across, or send a PM.
You can also make requests like that here for fast responses
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276306
Nope, once you created, and closed a poll, only mods/admins can do the stuff your asking about

...and posted a formal request in the above linked thread.
1. The mobile app has a handy tab that lets you view all the threads you've 'participated' in whether you've subscribed or not. It would be nice if this existed for the desktop version of the site.
2. The mobile app does not have an easy to access tab for accessing subscribed threads. It would be nice if it had this feature.
Sorry if this is not the right plce ot post this.
To view subscribed threads on the app, click on the Favorites tab then click on Topics.
To make the suggestion for a participated section on the website, use the (requests) From Users to the Mods and Admins thread, but the request has been made before and the general response is just to auto-subscribe to threads you post in.

True, but when features get added that aren't really needed (because of the work around) that's when things can start going wrong.
Just like the report feature that used to be part of the app.

On your profile there is a link to "Find all posts by <you>". It links to http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?do=finduser&u=<your userid>. Click on that, it is exactly the same search that the "Find threads I participated in" uses.

Nope, that's for new forum requests. OP is asking for something different.
This would be a @bitpushr (possibly @MikeChannon) thing.

Oh okay, I thought that it needs a forum, if it should be added there.

Possibly both correct.
You can't select a device in profiles if the device does not have a dedicated set of forums.
So to be able to get a set of forums it would need a request in the forum request thread. For that to stand a chance of being added though (it not being a new device), there would need to be quite a few threads already created (I do see a few but.....)
If there are some threads, (let's say between 20 and 60) then we might not add a forum but we might add a special tag so users can find them together via device search.
Mike
As I've progressed through devices, I've added subscriptions to device forums. Some of these I'd like to remove from my list of subscriptions, but I can't find any way to do this.
When clicking Forum Tools in said forums, I am only given the option to subscribe (again?).
Looking forward to any hints you may give.
Cheers, and thanks for a fantastic community!

Select the threads, of which you like to cancel the subscription, by ticking them. Then go down to the bottom and for the field "Selcted Threads" open the dropdown and select "Delete Subscription". Afterwards just click on "Go".
EDIT: In a thread itself (i.e. for a single one) you find on top the possibility to cancel the subscription for that thread.

Negative, most likely my fault as I didn't read your post closely eneough.
And I apologise I don't know about any "bulk possibility" to remove subscriptions from fora. Maybe someone else do?
I think you need to unsubcribe forum by forum but al least Style XDA 2015 (different to the other styles) allows you to accomplish this directly out of the overview.
