With every other forum I go to, when browsing each subforum, the Icon next to each thread is different for threads I have replied to. This makes it much easier to keep track of which ones I should look at again after I reply to them.
I searched around on the CP here, but could not find any setting for this. So is there a way to show which threads I have replied to? Without getting emails for every single thread...
Yep, enable subscriptions in usercp, but without email.
Then you can see them in usercp.
The icon should change too iirc
There are thread indicators that you've posted, I believe they're blue arrows - well, we'll see after I post this, I'll edit and add....
ETA Yup, there's a blue checkmark at the end of the thread title that shows I've posted in the thread. I also subscribe without e-mail notifications, and check them in my User CP.
click your name in forum,then click statistics ,you can find you post in related section.
The envelop image is different for threads you've replied to.
For replied threads, it has a down arrow:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Good old fashioned search.
When in any forum click on "Search this Forum" then on "Advanced Search". Enter your UserID in the "User Name" box.
By default the same forum is shown highlighted in the "Search in Forums" box. Change it if you need to, to a higher level forum, or "Search all Open Forums" and hit the "Search Now" button.
I tend to use this method, instead of subscribing to threads. Just personal preference.
A short username comes in handy.

Hi all!
Just a request to the forum mods, but maybe a poll too: Would it be possible to set a profile filter (or something like) so only messages and threads regarding the device/s you are interested in are displayed?
I have no clue about XDA I, but it takes a lot of time to scroll through the topics and threads to find many times it's related ONLY to the device I don't have/know.
It might apply to any or both models of XDA. (some threads might interest everybody, some not).
Just an idea....
:wink:
Hi,
I think that you can already do what you are looking for,
At the top right of the forum you can see icons that have the icons:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Hopefully this has posted the image if not it should be there as an attachment.
When you select any of these it filters the forum to your requirements,
Regards
Neil.
Hmm, you probably have another forum then I do.
No images of XDA I or XDA II in the right upper corner here...
Grtz,
Jos
then you go inside a topic ie (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewforum.php?f=2) on the right hand side above the bit that says 'Goto page 1, 2, 3, ....' theres 3 little pictures that filter the content.
near... but you missed the point.
Hi everibody!
Thanks for the responses, but my request is a bit deeper.
- First, I mean something in the profile itself of every user, so no need to "select" the small icon on the upper right hand corner is needed.
- Second and more annoying, actually it ONLY WORKS in the first page of every forum issue: as soon as you click "2" or "next", the filter is gone and even items you already read, are back there for you to "enjoy", again...
Just some suggestions, nothing really weird with this wonderfull forum.
:wink:
Well back in the days i created a thread with cabs extracted from other devices which run just fine on Blueangel ... I am talking about this thread. Last year i could chnage the title of the thread, without any issue as of sometime in december i can not, so i want to edit the "updated on" date but when i edit the post it only edits the post not the thread title, so it shows correct title in post but incorrect title in thread list. Also this thread is pinned, can this be a problem ?
Can anyone from the staff give me a hint ?
try clicking full edit instead of quick edit
quick edit will only let u edit the content but full lets you do the title aswell
next time post in the right section

Thanks mikechannon for the fast and adequate response, i guess you are right , this thread is more than a year old , and as you see the last time i was able to update the title was in october last year ...
I will contact Flar
Thanks again
okmfair nuff im thinking of using q and a but its a web issue not a phone issue
but still calm down
Can I ask why right clicking on this forum has been replaced with some annoying third party look "contextual" search thing. It's really annoying
Moved to About XDA section.
i think its gr8
I finally got annoyed enough by it to come here posting about it, but I figure I'll resurrect this thread rather than start my own.
In a nutshell, the Contextual Search "feature" is about on par with Clippy.
'nuff said
You should still have the right click menu though...
Not when anything is selected, which is when it is usually used. I can't think of a single time the "contextual search" has ever been useful.
Had an epiphany that I could add a filter to Adblock. If anyone else cares to know, just add "searchlight_ctextsearch.js" to your custom filters. Yay! No more stupid counter productive "feature"!

Nope.
Contextual search only appears if you click the magnifying glass next to the selected text.

Just disable it then?
Go to options and uncheck "Enable Contextual Search".
I did that ages ago as I didn't really use that feature either.

@rei20 I'm unable to reproduce the buy that you're reported.
I'm on the latest firefox beta for android.
It's possible in between one of those steps I pressed on a link by mistake and used the back button to return to the edit screen.

I'm using FF v91.0.2 with a lot of privacy related add-ons. It might certainly be that there was just whatever wrong user input. I think it doesn't matter; this happens to all of us. We're just humans, aren't we. You were the very first who reported this "bug".
Please advise if you want me to close your thread, and afterwards I also close this one - but not sooner than tomorrow as my usual logoff/bedtime is approaching or tonight more precisely football worldchampionship qualifiers and my team is going to play.
Have a good night! Regards

There is no link to go on forums from the mobile main page xda-developers.com. Only if I tick "desktop site" in settings I can see the forums link

Hi,
Yeah I noticed this a few weeks ago but thought that the owners would think of adding this link there. I had the feeling the mobile view was rewanped and that it needed time to organize the page and add missing things.
Pinging @willverduzco for his kind attention.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention @Dadniel and thank you for the ping @woodman
The XDA homepage template was recently updated in order to align with other sites within our parent company's portfolio. This enables our IT team to roll out fixes and features network-wide rather than on a site-by-site basis. As a result, some of the navigation elements such as the Forums button have been shifted around a bit.
In order to increase visibility, we chose to place the Forums link at the end of the trending topics bar on Desktop. This bar isn't explicitly present on mobile -- instead, it is present within the hamburger menu. The other alternative would have been to place it explicitly in the sidebar menu instead of the trending bar -- but that would impact clickability on desktop since you'd need to click on the hamburger menu in order to see the link.
I'll ask the IT team if anything can be done going forward.
@Dadniel (CC @woodman ) - Just a quick follow-up to let you know what I've added a link to the Forums directly in the top-level of the side-bar hamburger menu:
Thank you Will!
