Is there wm5torage for wm6?

Yep, is there wm6torage?

hotplainrice - you have 6 posts on this forum to your name. And of those 6 - 4 are new threads. I have posted nearly 200 times and only felt the need to create a new thread ONCE.
Creating new threads when the subject hasn't been covered - OK.
Creating new thread off topic - not OK - find the right site.
Creating new thread becasue can't be arsed to see if there's an answer in the many available threads - not OK
Creating new thread because my crack for illegal software doesn't work on x ROM - not OK.
Think about how the forum works - and you'll understand why.
Post this question in a forum that talks about wm5torage

Okay nealed, understood.
Btw, wm5torage works.

Another one before I get discouraged, which forums do I go where people talk more about applications?

None...You just should read more before posting

Wish theres a manual for the search engine.
Example:
I'd search for 'phone pad' in thread title and it'd return any threads with the words phone or pad individually. How can I get threads with only phone pad in it?

You can put quotes around the words to make sure they both occur and in the correct order.

thanks grahamrb.

Finding my own posts

It seems that the link to find all of my own posts has disappeared from the list under my profile. Did it get completely removed or did it move someplace else?
I have been looking and can't find it.
Thanks

I already tried using the search feature and it just shows me the thread that I have posts in - it will not take me to my last post...

Finally a question on XDA I can actually answer! Click on your own name above one of the posts, then click on the "Statistics" tab next to "Visitor Messages." There should be an option to view all of your posts, starting with the most recent.

click your name where it says "Welcome, brynwall", then click on the statistics tab, then click on "Find all posts by brynwall"
awh man he beat me..

or try this
I use the the quick links on top right of the screen, then click subscribed threads, it will show if any new posts have been added,
FYI you are automatically subscribed if you reply to a thread or you can just add the thread by going to thread tools...

Awesome! Thanks guys! lol I was going insane trying to find my last posts.

It's funny because you use to be able to access all your posts from User CP tab as well, but right now I can't anymore. Strange but not a problem because I always knew about the many other ways of finding my own posts. Just thought I would jump in here.

Yeah, that was the only way I knew how to do it, and it was there yesterday...

When I saw I can no longer find my own posts, I feared the worst Putting the option in "Statistics" is unintuative at my opinion.
Anyhow, will use it from now.
Thanks

Search is broken

I have a post on this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1714
It fell off the first page so, to find it, I entered my screen name into the 'search this forum' box. It returned nothing and brought me to an advance screen.
I then entered my user name into the search box on the advanced form labeled "SEARCH BY USER NAME".
Again, no results found.

Search isn't broken.Change the search term to something more general and try again...
POTATO!!!!

Right now, I keep seeing a cat reading a book when I try to search... :silly:

So when trying to find posts with my name in them, I should search for "General Synpax"? I was unaware of this promotion; I'm flattered.
The real problem is that the author field isn't included when the search is run, and it should be.
Really, why even bother having a site search functionality if it's going to be this bad. Just use Google.

You can search by author in Advanced Search.

This is by design - the vast majority of users want to search for keywords. If a user happens to share username with a keyword, they don't want to be inundated with their mindless musings in off topic...
If you want to find a post by a specific user, just hit the little cog for advanced search, where you can search based on username.
XDA has 4.6 million users, and 21 million posts, so search needs to be a little bit more specific to ensure that you can actually find things.
To find your own posts or threads, use the link to your own profile There's a button there to show all your posts and/or threads.

Thanks for your answer.
As a web developer myself, we recently had this same issue come up. We shifted all the search to Bing. This both got us better results and eliminated one target for a DDoS attack.

I tried searching earlier today for: Zenithink (the brand name of my tablet), and didn't get any hits. At the time of this post there did seem to be a problem with the search, but it seems to be working now.
k.

Also, keep in mind that search results can be delayed up to 10 minutes:

[Q] FORUM QUESTION. Find my posts?

I did search, and nothing came up.
I checked the xda FAQ, but it seemed to be more about phones than actual forum questions..
So here goes, dont flame me if I didnt search enough, I did search.
Where is the option to see my posts? And then go to the thread and my last post in that thread to continue reading?
I searched Control Panel (which seems to be the only thing avaliable that pertains to my user) with magnifying glass.
Could not find.
I feel really stupid and sorry to ask such a noob question.

- Go to your own profile page (click on the user name in the upper right)
- Click the Statistics tab
- Click "find all posts by aliendna99"
Moved to About XDA section.

You can also go to the advanced search and then "Search by user name". It will then show your posts.

It would be good to have this as a direct link for example in 'Quick links' or near the username in the upper right (where 'Control Panel' and 'Log Out' are).

Yeah it could be great
And is it possible to have a "View my posts" link for having a follow up of threads where we participated without subscription. If an answer has been posted the thread is at the top of the list.
I'm on a french forum and this feature is very useful.
Thank you.

If you want to view all of your participated threads that way, you will need to use the Advanced Search, put your name in the User Name box, then make sure the Search in Forums selection is set to All Open Forums. Leave everything else on defaults. All your participated threads will be shown with the newest replied thread at the top.
Thank you,

Why i only see the 1st post of a thread?

i'm sorry to ask you a noob question but................ i remember that in the past time i used this forum as all other forums. every thread has 1 post, 2nd post 3...... and so on.....
but recently i can only see the initial popst, and to see every reply i need to press next button that's just aoutside a squared box where i see every person thatposted something.
i tried to check every setting on the forum.... i can't find a solution so see this xda forum as every forum..... with all post in one page!!

Which XDA Theme are you using?

Never faced this problem. .strange

@realista87,
Can you please show us a screenshot of it?
I know you said you went through every settings in the forum.. but can you please go through all the options under "THREAD DISPLAY OPTIONS" in here again - just to be sure?
And one more thing.. what theme are you using? (choose either XDA 2013 and 2015 if you're using a different one)

thank you to all. @Sami Kabir i entered in your link and i edited that options.... i previously DID NOT TOUCH them.
Then i solve my problem and forum returned to be normal with all posts in the thread. BUT...................................... it's strange. I returned to the old settings and now don'0t return like before.
i only changed Number of Posts to Show Per Page, from default to 50., and Default Thread Age Cut Off from default to all threads.
.....not i returned all options like before but problem disappeared. i think it's a little bug..... i use chrome browser.
