now the forums changed its seem the View your posts option at the top right of the page hasbeen forgot about?
i can still do it i know, search, post by user, then type my username, but the option was handy when i was out and about, on the pda to just check for any replys to threads ive posted in?
can we / i have it back, unless its been moved and im looking in the wrong place?
Just look in your profile. Go Quick Links->My Profile
If you need it less than 2 clicks away you can always create a bookmark.

This guy gave me the best instructions even though it was an easy thing to do, I had no clue on how to do this and his instructions were the best I have ever had. he didnt ASSume that I knew where the program files folder was and went from the beginning (home screen) to the end and I think the moderators in here should give him a cookie. Many times I have hit a wall because someone ASSumed that i knew the the process starting from the middle of the problem and had to go thru hell to get it from the beginning.

First get yourself Total Commander. It's a free registry tool. However you can browse exactly as I posted earlier with file explorer which is in the
Today Screen-->Start-->Programs-->File Explorer.
Once in File Explorer, click on the top left icon under "File Explorer" and highlight to "My Device"
Under "My Device" you will see a few folders and one is named "Programs Files". Click on it.
Scroll down to a folder called "TCPMP". Click on it. Inside the folder are (2) folders in the top: "sites" & "sites.clean". Delete the "sites" folder and rename "sites.clean" to "sites".
You should now get no more nasties on your video bookmark...

THATS HOW TO GIVE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!!!
i'll agree and there is no doubt it is a detailed step by step procedure. Having said this, there are still *many* noob that doesn't even care searching and reading. it is posted as a sticky in almost all of the forum threads about the wiki, rules about searching before posting et al.
I may still be a noob for some (if you'll look at my joining date), has also received comment before like *have you tried searching?*it's already answered in post blah blah*this was asked for the nth time*and so forth when I first posted here.
Then I asked myself why aren't they friendly? why can't they just answer me straight? In time as I was reading throughout the wiki, the forums and all. I became *somewhat* knowledgable with my unit. all my questions before were answered already, to sum it up. reading makes you more knowledgable. instead of just braging a question straight up, make a search, read a little
you might be surprised with the outcomes as well. Answering the same questions over and over again can be a pain in the a$$. Now I understand why they hit me with those words the first time I had posted here just my 2 cents though
absolutely right. many people just don't try ro find it by themselves.
for example- in magician forum there is a sticky "no wm5 or 6 for magician"
but still daily we come across threads like "how can i put wm6 on my jam?"
but new questions and serious problems are surely taken care of.
Is it working? mine doesn't return any results.
mine neither!
Its defo broke!
yep, no more searching here either...
I think I broke it, I did a search for "install Vista on Pocket PC" then it stopped working...
Not to worry I found what I was looking for.
Thanks.
yep, very few results when searching. not very useful that way :-/
Any prevision when it will be fixed??
Yes, I just did a search and it only returned results going back to Feb. 11. It is a topic that has definitely been discussed prior to that. Guess I'll wait and hope it gets fixed.

i sent this to the feedback form on the site many moons ago, but apparently nobody has taken notice.
Has anyone else noticed this??
If you are not logged in,
The quick search (click search so the box comes up with "show threads", "show posts", and advanced search options) is pointless.
If you try top search with it, you will alwasy receive an error. Because you have to answer the no spam question via the advanced search page. Whats the point of having the quick search in this case?
I propose the admin either gets rid of quick search (have it go right to advanced search), OR add a box in the quick search for the spam question .. for guests that aren't logged in.
I know it has frustrated me more than once!!
thanks for listening
Hi Guys,
We switched the search function on 12-02 as posted in news.
Could you give me some feedback on if this improved the search or not?
Concerning the nospam issue it should only be an issue for unregistered or not logged in users, if you have problems as a logged in user please let me know asap.
Greetz,
Flar
as just posted in the thread in news: search has been switched back too fulltext boolean which is what we we're using before, we're looking into other alternatives..
Greetz,
Flar
Ahh, great, thkx a lot for fixing it
Thanks for switching it back. It's much easier to find things again.
Ditto to the two opinions above me.
My opinion on other search options:
I frequently also use google site search to find posts on XDA.... I find it works very well for me (so well I have set up a keyword shortcut in firefox. All I hvae to do is type "xda " and the terms i am looking for in the address bar, and hit enter.)
this is what i used to type into the google box when I did it manually:
site:forum.xda-developers.com the keywords your looking for
This is especially true when I am looking for terms less than 3 characters, the normal search won't work.
Maybe you guys should consider offering direct access to a google site search in addition to the boolean?
(( An example is how Webmasterworld does it. They go two steps further with a yahoo and MSN. In fact, 3rd party is their only search system:
http://www.webmasterworld.com/searchform.cgi
))
well the forum search was working good for me yesterday..and today all i get is the Google search "Search XDA-Developers using Google" choice.. i like the older forum search..
am i doing something wrong?
ha! I thought they would use my suggestion in addition to, and not in place of, the normal search.
But just to confirm w/ the poster above me .. yes it seems that is the only search option now, your not doing anything wrong.
I dont mind using google search, in general it can find topics on here pretty good, but it has limitations.
For example, if the site search is turned off, you cant search individual threads. Some threads on here get VERY big, and without the "search this thread" function there are going to be plenty of questions asked and answered multiple times in each thread, which leads to annoyed people saying the question has already been answered, etc.
With that said, I really do hope the site search does come back for this reason.
i concur for the same reasons. +1 vote for that
On my profile I want my location to show up...how do I do this?? Not a noob when it comes to forums but I have looked all over! Tried searching but my terms were too generic no matter what I put in (plus I'm lazy). Can anyone help me with this?
There still seems to be a bug in the forum software. Normally you should be able to configure this in your UserCP (User Control Panel), but the menu entry for this group of settings does not show up anymore.
But you can use this link directly in order to adapt your settings.

you are abusing others will and ability to help
the fact that you are lazy isn't justifying that
in few last days there were about 6 threads about changing location
so get your lazy ass up and read
Whatever dude, I looked and did search. Maybe they should fix this bug and no one would have to ask. Oh and thank you Foo.

Looks like this can be done without magic links.
At the top of the Forum Click "Quick Links" > "Edit your details".
Thanks

Hi, I've been lurking on this forum for quite a while. I finally decided to register because I was hoping to collapse (hide) most of the forums on the main page so that I don't have to scroll so far to get to the one or two that I read. So I was a little surprised to see that it wasn't an option even when I was registered. Is there a way to do this that I'm not aware of? I know the feature is available on vBulletin so if its not enabled, is there a reason why?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum
I don´t know if it´s possible to have this option, but respectfully, don´t be so lazy mate, it´s just a scroll longer (Perhaps 2 sec) more away form the thread you need.
And also always you have the option to save on your favourites/bookmarks the direct page you want to reach, and this way you don´t have to "Scroll"
Good luck,
I don't know if vBulletin has that option.
But that would be the constraint
Here's an example forum that uses vBulletin:
http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/index.php?
See the double arrows on the right side? That collapses the section.
I'm not being lazy. I'm just offering a suggestion to make your site better.
I think this is a brilliant suggestion if it can be implemented. There are quite a few requests posted here about re-ordering the main page, but this could hopefully be an easy fix which would make averyone happier.
I've using my NG for a week now and still trying to figure out how to copy/paste.
I see the check mark come up when I highlight text but I can't figure out how to get the text to copy. I tap the check mark but doesn't seem to do anything.
Any good YouTube videos or anything that show how to do this?
It's not the check mark you want, next to the words "select all" you'll see an icon that looks like two pages, clicking that will show a dialogue at the bottom of your screen saying, "text copied to clipboard". Pressing and holding again will give you the option to paste.
Thank you , feel pretty dumb now.
Or just simply tap highlighted text again ....

Don't be. I had the same problem myself. It's a crappy system. Moreover good questions like this create a good reference for new users moving forward.
There are no such things a stupid questions or feeling dumb, just learn from your mistake or the hole in your knowledge and try to pass on what you know the next time someone else needs help.
I had exactly the same issue finally figured it out after my third attempt at copying from a browser window!
I wish there was an easier way to scroll the cursor around tho, i miss the trackball on my N1. They really should add a popup onscreen wheel onto the keyboard.
Off topic sorta, but I was just reading an article where one of the Cons of Android vs iOS is that Android doesn't have system wide Copy/Paste.

i'm not able to cut and paste from within tweet deck like I could on my Gingerbread. Quite frustrating
Theres a manual that covers all such essentials.
Get it by googling "samsung galaxy nexus" to go to googles official site for the phone, click register, bung in your email and they will send you a link to the manual.
The manual that should have come in the box IMHO!!
