how to change this text?
How do I change the title of a thread that has already been in progress?
Never mind. Changing first post title doesn't seem to work...
I think edit has been opening already in advanced mode for me. If I use a second tab and edit a second thread the advanced button becomes visible and when pressed takes me to what I normally see.
Doing that changes the text when veiwed from within the thread, but from the forum it is not changed. Above i added the <test> but it dose not show up in the forum. Dose it take some time to take effect?
You're right. I was so sure this would work I posted without testing. Sorry.
Just tried it on one of my old threads and it doesn't update.
Strange...
Hum, I can't even do it and I have mod satus, I will post this in the mod section and see if an admin can point us in the correct area.
Hi Guys,
Admins and mods can change this by going to thread tools -> edit thread.
I changed some settings which should enable the thread starter to also change this.
OdeeanRDeathshead: can you test whether you can now change this?
Thanks in advance,
Flar
This is my Title and I can change it if I want to.
Now I see it,
Over edit and advanced you can change the title of the message but not the thread. Over Thread tools the thread.
But can the starter of a thread change his own title (I am not sure if he has thread tools, I would think not).
We wait to find out
Any place I can get the thread tolls to drop down, they do not contain the edit thread option. I still would like to be able to do this.
solution:
Hi Guys,
figured it out:
We wanted to give the user who started the thread unlimited time to change the thread title, therefore we changed some settings to a "default" unlimited setting. We've found out that this is not yet an enabled feature by the software developers.
In short: we must set a time limit within which the user who started the thread is allowed to change the title.
We've set this time limit to a week, within a week after starting the thread the user who started the thread can change the title.
This can be done simply by editing the post title, thread tools are only available to moderators and admins. (this is not how I thought this up, it's simply how the software works)
Hope this helps.
Greetz,

Thank you for your effort Flar. I think a week is too small. For example, I wanted to change the thread title on my GSMbeam thread to show that there was a security update. With ongoing stuff like that it takes weeks-months between the first post and the ongoing refinements. Why not just let the author have a very long period, a year would be good, to alter the thread title. I can understand that you may be concerned that people may totaly alter their titles after a while to get fresh interest in old threads but my motivations are valid. I leave it in your hands but if you can't give more time then perhaps a moderator could change the text to what I edited my first post in that thread to be.
I feel the poster should be able to edit his subject with no time llimit.
Lets take software, user x post appl y ver sion 1.0, then upgrades his first post with ver 2.0. He should change his own tiltle.
Sure mods could do it, admins as well, but do we want to ??
I agree as well. And I think its not just for those who post software (though as one of them I would like the option). Many 'fresh users' (my polite way of saying n00bs) start off with titles like "Pleeeeeees help me" or "Urgent!". I don't need to point out the problems with such titles and why they often prevent the poster from receiving an answer.
Often though they receive an advice and should be able to follow it and change the title to something more useful without having to bother the mods who I am sure are busy as it is.
If the software won't allow permanent permission to change the title it should be set to the longest period allowed (hope its more that a week).
I need to set a limit so i'm really sorry I can't put this on unlimited.
As soon as this option comes available I'll change this.
Untill that time I've set the maximum to a year.
Greetz,

This thread belongs in Q&A.
Please read the rules for posting in Development: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788800

bono.bel, as chambo and lalaca have pointed out, this type of thread belongs in the Q&A section rather than in development...as someone with your tenure should surely be aware of.
Your english is good enough that we shouldn't criticize that, but members who take the time and effort to learn and follow the rules about using the dev section for its intended purpose do get frustrated when others don't do the same. Please just be mindful of that going forward and we'll all be just fine
That link that lalaca provided above is a good place to start if you need to go over those guidelines again.
thanks sirphunkee and sorry for the disturb, i didn't know that i should post my problem here.
It should allow you to enter your google email details to reset the pattern by selecting the "forgotten password" button at the bottom
What if you didn't set up a google email account yet because you just bought the phone?
This solved my problem:

I frequently long press on the touch screen to copy text while browsing the web...I'll feel much more convenient if there is an easy way to make the long-press last fewer time. Anyone can help, thanks a lot!

You didn't break the rules other than posting a questions in General, I've moved it to Q&A
Is it possible to recover them somehow?
No help?
There is a forum rule about frequently bumping your posts. It kind of makes me want to just ignore you, or post something snarky, when your first post is in the middle of the night (here in the US) and the bump complaining that we aren't answering is before I get home from work...
Anyhow, the WP8 SMS backup feature stores them on SkyDrive (excuse me, OneDrive) somewhere; I don't remember where but I believe somebody found them before. Of course, then you need a way to import that data into your Android device. I have no idea how hard that is to do, or whether there's already an existing utility for it or not... this is, after all, a WP8 forum, not an Android forum.
