Where are my old posts? - About xda-developers.com

Hi there,
I must have missed something, did not visit this forum for a few years now. I have an account back from 2006, but it looks like I got 0 posts, no thanks, no helps etc etc?
Did it all get resetted? If yes why?

I think you should contact @MikeChannon, he will look into it.

Hi
Well your account certainly goes back to 2006, but there is no record of older posts. We record ones that are deleted too, but there are none.
There is no automatic clearing of old posts.
Is it possible you might have had another username?

Mike, I just happen to find some old posts of mine, and you are right, the username there says: pnxsinned
Uhm to which email was that one linked can you see? Or can you merge them?
Regards,

That account email has "den" in it, it has a dot and it's a gmail address.
If you get in, send me a PM and I can delete this account.
If it's complicated then write to me at webmaster[at]xda-developers.com

Why didn´t allow the Phorum linebreaks???

Hello XDA-developers....
Noticed today, that when you´re posting without HTML-Code all the text is shown in one line....
I´m sure this wasn´t so all the time and i don´t want to turn on the HTML-code.
it´s ugly enough receiving HTML-Emails, so I´d like it more without HTML-Code in the postings.
Also it´s very ugly to read the postings, when much text is in it....
Maybe you can have a look at it...
Regards
Stefan
you are right, that should not happen.
this is something that has recently had some code changes.
....
( jus ttesting )
hmm.
probably something to do with our new usergroup HTML.
I'll ask pp tomorrow.
Noticed today, that the preview shows all correct.
Only when you submit the post, this strange thing appears...
HTH
Stefan
Whoops... I'll fix it.
Stay tuned...
I think all should be well now: old messages that were posted when stuff was broken now have line-breaks fixed, and new messages shoud work OK.
Apologies for the mess...

How to find out received SMS sender's number

Is there a way to find out from which number has an sms arrived, when more than one number is associated with the sender?

Nice question!
This happens because of microsoft: They do not understand that in other countries, unlike the United States, pepople have more that ONE mobile phone..
So they don't handle this situations.
I solve in a silly way.. But i don't have evidence that works: i simply replay to the sms.. And I see what number it uses for destination.
Ohh I see.
If it really uses the number in the reply which was used to send the sms, then it is a good workaround.
But we cannot be sure, can we?
Maybe someone has already made a simple app/plugin/whatever to find out the number or something?

I'm sorry.. I have no time to test.. I'm quite sure it works..
I don't know other way to know the number, I'm sorry.
As I sayd before: We need an help from microsoft..

I'm sure of it
It's no different from replying to an email when sender has more than one email address in your Contacts - your reply goes back to the address the sender used to send the original message. It's behaviour by design.
I was farting around the other day and came across an app that (if I recall correctly) does that. I am really sorry because I cannot remember the name of the program, but I will try to re-trace my farting around and if I come across it, I'll post back here.
Ok, thx!

Number of Referrals?

What does the number of Referrals in user profile statistics mean?

You can either, create a referrals URL, so that you give this to your friends, and they join via the URL and you get a referral.
Or
When registering (I'm told) there is a field to enter the name of an existing member who referred you to this site.
Dave
I've wondered about that too.
Thanks for clearing it up.

You'd be surprised I tend to be less helpful when I try to be, so maybe I should just flame my way to the big 1000
PS: If you're not too busy, can you mention to the powers that be the idea of having your phone, ROM and radio in your username bar (the thing to the left of each post - don't know what it's called...). It was mentioned in this thread as it went a little off topic in the second page, but it seems to have fizzled out a bit.
I think it would be a very useful idea as a lot of support threads ask for such information and quite a lot of users would rather not keep it in their signatures. It also standardises the layout of such things so you can quickly check which phone/ROM/whatever the user is talking about.
I suppose the issues would arise when someone has more than two or three phones as it would make the posts longer, but even then it wouldn't get so bad until it hit around five devices, as it's just two or three lines for each one. Maybe a drop-down box could be used for the device and we could recommend only including primary devices in that, while keeping older ones for your signature only.

I could have sworn that at one point I'd been able to see who my referred sign-ups were, but I can't for the life of me find it now.
I've got 24, and although that's not a lot I'm a bit stumped as to how!
Is there a way to see who has signed up due to my referrals?

Old thread, but wanted to post the method for creating a referrals URL since Dave's link above did not work..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/register.php?referrerid=4238197 <- replace this number with your user ID number
To find your user ID number, click on your user name in the upper right hand corner and see the new URL change in your location bar. Here is mine. Note the u= on the end.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4238197
Referrals doesn't seem to do anything, but it is nice to know that I inspired someone to join up and hopefully contribute.

[Q] Cannot view event reminder in User CP

Hi,
When I go on the User Control Panel and I click on Event Reminder on the left side of the page, I get a message saying that I might not have the privilege to view it, and it says it's some kind of developer page. I have no idea what it is, but why am I being restricted to view to the Event Reminder? Very weird, has anyone else got this problem?

Oh OK. By the way, if we ask one of the mods to change our username and they do then if anyone searches for our posts will we still get the results for the posts that we made before the username change?
Also if we change our username then will there be some kind of notice on our posts about the username change?

You would need to get mike to do the change. And yes it is possible to find old posts, but not hugely easy

Question/Help XDA Thread Layout changed.... Hard to navigate...

Somehow my layout changed to where all the threads are not in order... It only shows 1 post at a time. I have to goto the top and click a link of each thread to load them one by one underneath.... I attached a pic to help show you what I mean. I cant figure out how to fix it at all. Can anyone help me?
Hello,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editoptions
But why are you able to see deleted Threads ?
Thank you so much!!! I dont know HOW it got changed, I just know it was DRIVING ME INSANE!!!! Wow i tried forever to find that setting!! I dont recall ever changing it to begin with tho! And I dont know why i can see deleted posts haha I did see a few like that while searching and it confused me if thats what it really was haha.
Maybe @MikeChannon can check this.

Curiously, this happened to me a week or two back. Changed from newest first to threaded mode all by itself, though actually the setting was still set correctly. Just had to resave the settings.
I'll report it to the backend guys though.

Right, ok, thanks. Actually as I remember when this happened to me, it said thread deleted top left on all threads so I don't think it is really showing deleted threads.
Mike
I've had this happen too. But for me, it seemed it was a specific mobile browser issue. I switched browsers and it was fine. Never touched my settings.
And yup, everything said deleted. Really confused me at first. Lol
And a note, going back to that browser after awhile, all was fine. Go figure.
