Hi you all,
I'm quite an advanced user on forums, but couldn't find an answer for this issue.
When I click on "New Posts" I'll get a list of the posts that are submitted since my last visit.
But that works only on the all the forums.
I would like to see all the posts that are submitted while a was gone... in a subforum (like Rhodium General)
How do I do that, 'cause now it's sorted in weird way.
I'm searching my way through pages of info, to find the thread I was following.
(I know, I can subscribe, but I just want to see the last posts in a subforum).
Thanx in advance.
Nobody?
No response here...
(wrong forum?)
I'll start a new one somewhere else..
You can close this one.

MOD EDIT......IS THAT FONT SIZE REALLY NEEDED?
I just had my AT&T 8525 replaced and it came with the factory installed WM5. Since the WM6 is no longer on HTC's or Windows website, where can I find the application?
look here
*your message is too short...*
Look around man. Instead of just typing questions out in big typefaces, in a section named after what you are looking for, you couldve searched. There are two search functions only on this forum n if you wouldve just simply searched on google you wouldve gotten it. Instead someone else searches for you and pastes the link. Dont be so helpless.
Just a thought.
Before you post again

Good Day,
First off I do LOVE XDA!!!! I have been here for a long time since before my 8125 . I have found lately that it would be a nice feature (and maybe I just dont know how to do this) to be able to search a thread for posts by a user.
Example:
Take NRGZ28 Raphel ROM thread. 1000s of posts. But NRG is the owner of the thread. He also posts messages throughout the thread. it would be a nice feature to view only posts by him in the thread. This may be possible but I have not found out how.
Thanks for a GREAT forum/Community!!!!

Whilst in the desised thread, click "Search this thread", Advanced search.
Then just enter the username NRGZ28.
It's not quite what you want, but it's the closest we have .

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.
Hi,
I like what the XDA Devs bring to us "users" in terms of modding phones, instructions, assistance and so on. I am wondering though how many of these devs actually get a chance to go through their own thread (rom post, suggestion, hack or whichever) and update their main post with the most common hurdles that users within the forum have posted and inquired about?
Not many would be my guess and I don't blame them.
I have also seen the comments of "search this thread" way too many times and have been caught out myself too.
My suggestion is that people with the issue contribute back to the thread if any answer helped them to the solution, or if they come up with the solution themselves.
To improve this concept further, keywords for questions and answers within the thread should be compulsory.
A list of possible keywords would be
[Q] Question
[A] Answer
Bug
Solution
and used in conjunction with each other. If you have both the bug and solutions, you'd post - yes i know what that looks like!
Benefits to this system would be when searching a thread you could filter the entire thread with [Q] and bits and then troll for the answers.
This is too long and will most likely be ignored, but if you've read this far, please let me know what you think.
Hi,
Got an improvement suggestion for the desktop site under Participated threads section:
This section shows 15 threads I participated in. It could have been OK, if not for the following:
1. Threads are sorted by their creation date. This means that if there are new posts in "veteran threads" (and there are lots of mega threads like these), they will soon be out of the list.
2. There's no way to see the next threads in the list (next 15 or so).
This means that if there are new posts in such threads in which I participated, I will not see them at all. Of course I can subscribe to all these threads, but why do so if there's a section for it?
Just to compare, if I browse the forum via the Tapatalk app, I'm able to see new posts in this section sorted by the date of the last post. I believe this should be the right way to go.
I think this is a small and necessary change that should be quite easy to implement.
Cheers.
Anybody home? Maybe this is not the right forum to raise such a suggestion?
Thanks for the suggestion, but we recommend subscribing to a thread if you want to be kept up to date on progress. The "Participated Threads" tab sorts in order of last update.

Thanks for your answer. However, it seems that at least on the desktop site, the "participated threads" section is not sorted by last update (as it should), but by thread creation order.
Kindly would like to bump this:
The participated section should have the exact effect as performing an advanced search with myself as the posting user. In this case, I'll get a list of the threads I have posted in, ordered by post date (threads with newer posts are shown first). If number of threads exceeds a page, then I can select the page for previous posts.
However, the participated section button shows only one page, where this page holds threads ordered by thread creation date.
What I think that should be done is that the participated button will simply imitate the search action described above. This is exactly what Tapatalk does, but unfortunately not what happens here. Of course I can always perform this advanced search to see what happens in the threads I participate in, but this is very cumbersome.
