To try to understand, you posted in a thread, and the post got posted in a different thread?
The post numbers at the end of the web address you posted a link to in that thread, matches that thread its posted in.
But I see the last numbers are different in the link you posted here.
You are saying another thread is directing posts to that one? That's how it seems.
Am I close?
Let's see what @bitpushr sees. :good:

I think this is what you were after. If you unzip it and put the folders in your main memory (windows, programs or somewhere similar) you can use them as tray apps.
If its not what you wanted the answer is i don't know
Noticed you've had ringtone troubles. try the cab
And why couldn't this be done in a PM? was it really needed to start a new thread?

Bless you really are quite bored aren't you. Thought they might be helpful to more than one person to answer your question.
Well, he does have to increase his post count.

He may be trying to increase his post count, but he had a valid point.
Johnston411 answered a question previously asked by Rickyjune. This was presumably asked in a thread or post in this forum so why wasn't the answer posted there to share with anyone reading that post?

Ah ok - have done the same myself, so appologies.
As for PM's - I don't have a problem with answering them but I normally check out who they are from - but I DO have a problem with PM's from people who ask questions they are too lazy to research awnswer to. I'll also try to find a relevant post to attach the answer to if not PM'd back.

Fair comment. Didn't think to check for a relevant post to stick it in. Will bear it in mind in the future.

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 need to post a image its very important but i gotta be reviewed by a moderator

Welcome to forums
You need to arrive to certain number of posts so all XDA features can be unlocked.
Keep posting and you´ll get soon.
I was posting a solution to fix annoying wi-fi issues with Samsung Galaxy I 9000 with images but the forum is not allowing me to post ? I plan to contribute a full series of problem fixes with this particular device. Can any mod allow images only (no links to other sites) for my account ?

One more and ready to go
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

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

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.
