Is it my imagination or does this forum notify me of my own posts ?
If so, is there any way to stop it ?
I welcome notifications about other people's posts to threads I am watching, but I already know about my own

Hello, this is the only vBulletin forum that I browse(I'm more of a SMF guy, I use it and develop for it) and I can't find the place where I can see new topics in which I have participated(Tapatalk does this for this forum). Is there a link where I can see the new topics?

A couple of things you can do:
1
Subscribe to threads you are interested in and receive email notification of new posts being added.
2
Bookmark your profile page http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1153710 and in there go to the statistics tab>Find all posts by. Then by clicking on your posts you can see if there have been any replies.
Not sure if these links might work also:
Find all posts by Dragooon123
Find all threads started by Dragooon123

im using subscription witout email, means i can go to my user cp and i see all threads i subscripted that have new posts
so i dont get too many emails but see all new replys..
The question is,
why does the XDA app offer this feature,
but the full version of the board does not?
I could theoretically run an emulator, run the XDA android app, and use this forum MORE efficiently than actually turning on a laptop. I use the 'participated' area every single day.
That seems backward. There has to be a way to pull this data to a web browser, if it can be pulled to an Android phone.

You should set your usercp so that it will automatically subscribe to threads you reply to (without notification)
Then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription&folderid=all to view them.

Sorry to dredge up an old topic, but I haven't found an answer to the same question, and this is the only time I have seen it have replies. Finding threads posted by a user will not do the same thing, the participated thread button in the tapatalk or xda app does. One should not have to subscribe to every thread either, that would be pointless considering that is for threads you REALLY want to follow.
The information is accessible to the app, which means ultimately it would be easy to implement on the website, and it is counter productive you can only find it in app. The best answer I have is find the posts in the app, but if I have to post something longer, or with links, I have to find the thread on the website.
As popular as this site is, this feature would improve quite a bit.. people(maybe more noobs) would actually follow threads they've posted questions on, so the replies aren't a waste of time. How many threads have multiple people asked for more details and the OP never replies.. Subscribing to threads would only work on any new posts, and some of my oldest ones I would still want to know activity for. This all seems obvious.
I would like to suggest a way to filter out off-topic posts. When I am browsing a thread in a Development forum, I have wasted a lot of time reading entries that have nothing to do with the topic. I know that the moderators are responsible for keeping the original thread on-topic, but some threads get hundreds of posts that have nothing to do with XDA whatsoever.
I would like a way to flag posts as off-topic, allowing others to filter away these messages if they choose.
I'm not receiving any email notifications for any subscribed threads.
Have checked setting in user CP and in particular threads to no avail. is this something only available to senior members?
Thanks for any insight
Cheers Q

Not that I am aware of but it is possible. If there is a restriction it would likely end at 5 posts, or maybe 10 posts. There are some restrictions on new users.

I second the op...
Even I'm not receiving email notifs, neither for weekly subscribed threads, nor for instant notifs...
But its not a biggie for me, since I used them for notification purposes, and rarely actually read them...
Edit: 1100 :beer:

I dunno if this will help you guys or not but I've found a way to get notifs that works for me. I actually found it out by accident.
What I did was to subscribe to a thread and set the option to have no email notification. Even though I expected to have no notifications come through, I started receiving the emails the moment someone posted in that thread.
As I say, I dunno if it'll work for you guys but it worked for me. It does seem weird how it worked out though :/

Please redirect if a thread already exists on this question. Did a quick search of the About XDA subforum, and didn't notice anything that directly addressed this question.
So I know that on the main User CP page http://forum.xda-developers.com/usercp.php it shows "New Subscribed Threads", a listing of subscribed threads with new posts.
And of course, you can also view these on the Subscribed Threads folder listing, too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription&folderid=all
Could this be added to the "notifications" dropdown at the topright of the screen? As in, the notification dropdown beside the logout button on the header. Show the # of new subscribed threads there, and link to the subscribed threads folder when clicked.
I often miss posts in my subscribed threads because it's not one of the things you get notified on in the notifications dropdown. I also don't want to have my inbox spammed, so I disabled all email notifications for subscribed forums.
@CDB-Man,
If you post your recommendations in this thread dedicated to the subject, then more often than not, your ideas will be seen by the mods and admins, considered, and then possibly implemented the way you would like.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I generally stick to my own subforum so don;t know the way around the other places as much. I'll copy over my post to there.

Anyone want to join?
This is a section reserved for threads about XDA, not other social media.
And honestly, I don't know why anyone would hand their number out to a stranger.
