chad, you already asked this noob question in another thread you needlessly started. This is BASIC and has been covered a million times. Please do not waste space with a post like this. Read the wiki or do a search (google is your friend- "your search" site:xda-developers.com)
Maybe it should be good to start new sticky thread in this section with common WM6 upgrade problems for ignorant noobs that do not read wiki...
But I do not know if they would be reading it...It is so much easier to just start a thread and wait.

eh, I say forget the noobs. Ignore their topics or link them to the wiki.
noobs need to learn to READ on their own.

Actually I searched the WIKI and found this... I also posted the necessary cab in the other thread you started where you asked for help.
For someone with 6 posts to their name I'd be careful of who I called a ****... that is if I ever expected to not be treated as a ****.
on the top of what Dr Puttingham said there is one more location in the wiki where you can find it - right on the first place here. Do not blame us for your inability to search for information - that is basic skill for everyone online. And yes your question is being asked every two weeks on average...

ok well im not "blaming you for my inability to search for information"
im simply asking someone for help with something that i couldnt find anything on. imagine how youd feel if you just did something to your phone and couldnt find what happened and why its doing something its not suppoused to. you would be asking people too whats there to do if you couldn't find what was out to fix it.
all im saying instead of saying H0LY FUXZ0RZ R34D TEH WIKI JEW FUKN N00BZ
post the actual section its in and say this is in the wiki in this section so we can click on it and see it in the wiki
I'm sure the poor grammar, spelling and lack of punctuation had no bearing on the lack of search results. I've found an answer to every question I've had without having to be spoon fed every step of the way.
Is there a way I can add my own signature on here? I heard that it is in USER CP but the option isnt there ...

This was an effort to combat spam, and it's had a huge impact! You'll be upgraded to a full account after a certain number of posts (5 - 8 depending on the feature)--it happens automatically. Sorry for the inconvenience

It may take time after reaching the 5-8 post limit for it to allow you access, this is because the process runs in the background.
And when you have enough posts, you can edit your Signature in the UserCP (on the left hand side called "Edit Signature").
Or just click here : Edit Signature

People / Bots were Posting generic messages, like "Thanks this is great" or in some cases, actual responses based on words in a thread. The post it's self was not spam (although pretty pointless), but the users signature would contain 3-4 links to an online company of varying levels of trustworthiness.
We used to find one or two of these bad boys a day. Because they didn't create new threads, nor did they make it obvious to the casual observer, they were getting away with it.
I have not seen one of the so called "signature spammers" since the rules were put in place.
Dave
I had the same question...this is an excellent way to manage spam users. Good job, looking forward to delving more into this forum and getting a signature!
I was a bit upset at not being able to have a signature. Thanks Daveshaw for explaining. Its indeed a great way to stop spammers.

You should be all set now, check your User Control Panel
finally i found the way!!!thank you
At last I found out why I cant use signature.
I will be using the "search" more.
ah so
so that's why I couldn't see it, cant wait to unlock my sig status
Ya the post limit thing when you start a new account is a good idea to keep the spam to nothing..

I can see how it helps, but jeez. Couldnt post in the developer forum for the audio fix solution I made.

But you could post it in General, and then help a few people out while you were there, in Q&A, if your device has one. Don't bother with useless posts, they will be deleted and you'll never get to 10.

Well, you might be right but its not that easy. You know I have experience in those stuff in the development forum, but I have no way to make posts there.
I dont wanna be a sort of spammer by posting stupid stuff to get all the 10 posts.
But this 10 post rule leaves no other way to accomplish...
To find a topic that I can make a useful post takes a lot of time.
If you can't spend the time to make ten legitimate posts before posting in the dev fora, then you don't deserve to post there. This is a developer forum, not a support website.

Oh really? I was a clueless noob total non-developer when I came here and I had no trouble at all helping people who needed links or a little guidance where to find the information they need. XDA works because people help those who help themselves. Do not post useless posts, they will be removed and you'll never get to 10.
Why did this thread get unlocked? Now it's more noobs that can't read and just complain again.

I requested that it remain open. I've helped out others with legitimate issues before here. Also, leaving it open allows mods to track spammers easily.
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:

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 can you thank someone, everyone speaks of thanks button but I cant find it, is it because I have under 10 posts?
I guess I have 3 more posts to go to figure out if this is the answer to my question

I wanted to put this in the thread it applies to, but I can't post there because I'm a noobie . This seems a good place to put it - partly because I can't see a Thankyou button either - Tweet it, Face it or Report it, yes; Thank it , no.
Anyhow this is ref: "[GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) & DHD w/ S-ON to Stock Froyo" in the G2 and Desire Z Android Development forum. If a mod wants to move it there that would be nice - thankyou.
I just want to say THANKYOU to Setherio and strawmetal for their guides and download links.
For some time I've been investigating moving my DZ from HTC Gingerbread to Cyanogen, but from what I could see getting round S-ON was going to be a nightmare, if even possible. The information around is confusing to put it mildly.
This thread gave me hope and these guides actually made it simple ... well maybe not that easy, but following them went pretty much without a hitch.
I just had two notable hiccups: At first adb couldn't find the files, but that was sorted by a cd to the platform-tools folder and run it from there (yes, I did change the environment Path as instructed - perhaps I needed a reboot too). The other hitch was just me mistyping a path for one command .
After dropping off the end of these guides I even got CM7 loaded using the Cyanogen wiki instructions, but it all went a bit pear-shaped then as it got stuck in a boot loop. A bit of googling found a solution - seems some other peoples' guides aren't as good as this xda one and didn't mention certain clearings of caches that were needed. But it's all up and running now.
So once again a huge THANKYOU to Setherio and strawmetal - I literally couldn't/wouldn't have done it without you.
Same Here
Same here, and I can´t find nothing, nowere!!!
It would be easy for us, noobs, if we can find about in some place. Like the post who explains this new funcion, could have "but only if... you could use this".
I use some good advices here and i don´t really need to post dumb stuff just to say thank you!

Yeah the mods have gone a bit crazy in preventing noobs from participating in the dev section... just leads to way more pming and spamming in all the other sections.

Hi, that's my first post. :silly:
I came here trying to find a way to thank a dev that made my phone even more impressive. (tytung)
But as the rom is in the "Devs only area" (min 10 posts) I could not thank him.
I wish it were different. I agree with the limitation of noobs not being able to post, but I just wanted to thank.

first xda post!
Thread Closed, for one is should not be in this forum and two it will only serve as a place to reach 10 posts, which we dont want.
Hi its a bit annoying trawling the web for various icon packs, or even the mighty xda thread that exists.
Thought it might be a good idea to create a thread for this purpose alone.
This isnt a thread to post your own download of someone elses icon pack, purely because its rude, but if you know where you got them,share the screenshot and the link or just the link, takes someone seconds to get to a site so no worries
i will do this also!
Dear mods..i think this is a good idea,if you dont, obviously close the thread lol
