Quoting troubles - About xda-developers.com

Hi
sorry for the ultranoob question , but i'm having trouble with quoting... How should i use it exactly??
Whenever i want to quote someone i click on multiquote then reply
but when the message is published, i get a double quote: the one i wanted and another post.
what am i doing wrong???
any help welcome, cause this is driving me nuts

First of all, this thread should be in the "About xda-developers.com" forum.
Now to the problem at hand.
If you want to quote a single users post, simply click "Reply" which is found across from their post. This will quote their message in the reply box.

well, it's actually a request from me, and i was hoping for a discussion between devs on possibly removing the grid on homescreens that locks icons into place. that way we can have free positioning anywhere on the homescreen without the icons snapping into place.

Having this option would be really sweet but I am not sure how possible it would be. What are you thinking for moving the icons? Maybe someone has a tweak that would be more feasible for positioning the icons

Folks have two options when visiting a thread:
Option 1
Provide helpful and constructive repsonses ... not "use search", "use google", "wrong forum", etc.
Option 2
If a member is not inclined to follow Option 1 ... then move on!
If a member has posted in the incorrect forum, report the thread with a recommendation as to where it should be moved to.
As moderators, we spend countless hours having to clean up threads like this instead of working on our own forum contributions. As a fellow XDA member, help us by reducing the amount of off-topic, trolling, and flamming responses.

Yay Q&A 10char

[Q] I am the biggest idiot I know! How do we find our posts?!

So, I've been lurking around and starting to post, here.
I don't subscribe to any threads, but I should probably change that, because:
I CAN NOT FIND MY POSTS.
Where is the option to view my posts? I thought that was S.O.P. I checked FAQ, and didn't see the info.
Sorry I'm so darned stupid. I can find my posts through my hero cdma xda premium via profile, but that app seems to really drain the ol' battery.
I thank you in advance for your infinite kindness and wisdom.
Hi permazorch,
Firstly, welcome to XDA. You can typically view the threads/posts you have created in your public profile.
If you click on your username, you should be redirected to your user profile ... in case, this should be a direct link to it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2895835
HTH,
Thanks! It's appreciated.

also when when you log in across the top is a menu the user cp is where you can add your avatar and signature (the things where you put those pesky comments like "I miss my mind the most" welcome to XDA
dang you really didnt know huh
No, u r not the biggest idiot.
I made my first post 5months after creating my account. All that time i made few unsuccessful attempts to create insane threads in the development section. Xda was my first online forum and now im glad that i joined it.
Things keep changing mate....
my first few days i was confused by the whole "no posting in development" thing because its xda-DEVELOPERS.com i thought every forum was developers, i came here off google and didnt know about the development SUB-sections.
it happens. theres bigger idiots around.!
under your profile is the easiest way
Forums can get hard to get used to, especially since all are different. Best thing to do when your lost, is what you did.....ask away, you may get some flamers, but ignore them, and someone will offer good advice.
I use the xda app only. We have the participated tab. It shows the threads you are part of with the most recent contributions. Is there nothing like that on the webpage?

As a bigtime noob still trying to figure this place out, I'm glad you asked the question.

How to tag someone in reply on XDA?

Hello
I am new to the vBulletin forums. I've used forums before, but mostly opensource types; phpBB, SMF, etc. I was going through some threads in the dev section of my phone and i noticed that the developer of the ROM asked to mention his username in the following format: @username so that he would get a notification that he was mentioned in a reply. His thread is huge, with thousands of replies, so i think it's obvious that he won't be able to go through all the constant new replies. My questions is simple: how do i mention the user? Should i click on the reply button to the post made by the member that i want to mention in my reply? Please explain the correct steps involved. Thank you! :cyclops:
EDIT: Oh, never mind, after submitting this post, i noticed that the MENTION tags were automatically added after the "@".
Hehe
Congratz! Thread closed.

Why i only see the 1st post of a thread?

i'm sorry to ask you a noob question but................ i remember that in the past time i used this forum as all other forums. every thread has 1 post, 2nd post 3...... and so on.....
but recently i can only see the initial popst, and to see every reply i need to press next button that's just aoutside a squared box where i see every person thatposted something.
i tried to check every setting on the forum.... i can't find a solution so see this xda forum as every forum..... with all post in one page!!

Which XDA Theme are you using?
Never faced this problem. .strange
@realista87,
Can you please show us a screenshot of it?
I know you said you went through every settings in the forum.. but can you please go through all the options under "THREAD DISPLAY OPTIONS" in here again - just to be sure?
And one more thing.. what theme are you using? (choose either XDA 2013 and 2015 if you're using a different one)
thank you to all. @Sami Kabir i entered in your link and i edited that options.... i previously DID NOT TOUCH them.
Then i solve my problem and forum returned to be normal with all posts in the thread. BUT...................................... it's strange. I returned to the old settings and now don'0t return like before.
i only changed Number of Posts to Show Per Page, from default to 50., and Default Thread Age Cut Off from default to all threads.
.....not i returned all options like before but problem disappeared. i think it's a little bug..... i use chrome browser.
