my little suggestion to the forum - About xda-developers.com

hi XDA admin
every time, i have to remember the location of my posts in order to check who replied me . it would be nice to see all my replies and posts in one certain column under the account.
so i strongly suggest this feature and hope XDA becomes more popular and help more people like me .

yeah i have the same thought as you. hope admin will see the post and have some acts.

Use the xda app. It has the participated section that does basicly the same. But yes, I agree, the website could really use that feature as well.

it is a good ideea

If I understand you right you can do this:
Goto : http://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=editoptions
Scroll down to : "Default Thread Subscription Mode"
Change the value to "No email notification".
Now when ever you reply to a thread, you subscribe to it.
You can see all your subscribed threads in the User CP.

[Q] save/pin threads for easy access

Hi,
Is there a way to pin/save threads to our personal info on the forum for easy access? Pinned as favorite per say on a list in our information.
Cheers
on your computer just bookmark them. you could creak a folder and call it something like xda and put the bookmark in there. or if you downloadd the app on your phone i think you could favorite threads.

too many bookmarks already there are a forums which actually allow this feature of saving a thread to your favorites to come back to within the same site hence the question.
Call me stupid but there's an Xda app? Or what app are you reffering to?
yes therses an app.
or you could post in the thread you want to go back to later and just view all your post

[Q] m.xda-developers.com (mobile site) ??

How come one of the largest phone-related sites for android users and more, doesn't have their own Mobile site?
It's no fun viewing xda-developers.com on the phone atm. It gets to big and have to zoom all the time..
And I know about the XDA app. But you only get 'boring' text there..
No images/videos etc.
I know alot of people would appreciate a more simple site to view the news on our phones...
So, how come?
Can it be fixed?
Im not talking about the forum now, only news page- and other pages.
Yes! that'd be great!
We have XDA app and Taptalk for the Forum.
And there are Wordpress readers.
I do want a mobile version layout for the portal though.
If you are a member on XDA, it's likely that you have android or WP7 - they both have apps which make the XDA layout suitable for mobile browsing.

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
Forum Runner is also compatible with xda
Maybe you guys should read again?
Im not talking about the forum, I'm using the xda app..
Im talking about the Portal/News site.. And as i said, I know you can read the news in xda-app but you only get boring text.
We're looking into doing a mobile-formatted Portal. The forums with a mobile view isn't as user-friendly as the XDA Apps, so we're not likely to do that soon.
Yeah the mobile forum app. See there's a problem with that. Its search function can't find anything! Doesn't work. Completely broken. Useless.
Try searching for "launcher 7" I got not one relevant result and I know there's plenty of threads with that in title. No option for in post or title only. No choosing which sub forums. Quotes don't work. Its tapatalk based right? It looks and feels like it. I never get searches to work in that app either. That needs fixing. I can't believe no one for all the Google it, and use the search, responses has noticed SEARCH DOESN'T WORK.
Maybe connecting with xda-developer app can be a good idea too.
but without considering about that, it would be a great idea to make a mobile web, too!
mobile-formated portal.

Yes please! I've really come to enjoy the portal over the last few years and the information it provides to the extent that is is one of my bookmarked news sites. However, I've gone to 100% mobile for getting news and as a result, I mostly ignore the portal these days.
I may be wrong, but isn't there a simple plugin for generating a generic mobile view with image thumbnails/headers on top level and image and post text w/ comments on second click? It seems like most of the CMs I've looked at have something like that available... But I don't actually recall what is being used here...
There is also the downside of some plugins in that they do not give you any control over how a user selects which site version. The host server just looks at a user agent etc. and forces mobile content at them, even if they are using a tablet or larger screen. That never goes over very well...
YES ,this is good .
Then, I want to known if this site can be sufring by the mobile phone?
bump! lots of times the tapatalk app fails.. and the full view from mobile is a PITA
can keep track of every thing at any place at any time....
They should update the premium app for ics roms,
Now I know this can't be news....
https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/styles_mobile
Yes, that would be great.
I don't like to install apps in order to visit sites in mobile view.
the portal news can be read and viewed with GOOGLE READER and the xda RSS feed.

Who cares about the portal? I can watch the "news" sometime later when I get on a pc. What we need is the forums

That's why there are mobile forum apps. XDA app and Forum Runner.
I think we have too many customised scripts etc that would make the mobile version difficult to implement.

Account not adding subscribed threads

I don't know if this is a problem with the xda app or not. But when I reply to a post or even create one I am not being automatically subscribed to it.
Could a mod or admin of some sorts check out my account. Or have I done something incorrectly.
Thanks guys.

If you set the default subscription setting under Edit Options to something other than Do Not Subscribe then autosubscribe during reply or new thread creation should work.

That's the weird part...
After I had setup weekly notifs, I hadn't touched it since...
But from the last week, all of a sudden, I don't get auto-subscribed...
When I (re)checked the option, it still is set to weekly notifs...I toggled it to "no notifs" and back again, but still no solution...

Same here as OP. About a week ago, auto subscriptions stopped working. All of my settings are normal, and unchanged. I have it set to subscribe with no email.

Thanks. Glad I'm not alone here. Nothing has been changed in settings from me.
Maybe it has something to do with the new XDA 2013 theme?

That was my initial suspicion and the first thing our server guru asked about.
The issue has been raised and if he gets to the bottom of it I'm sure he'll pop his head in here and let us know.
Thanks for the heads up.

I'm assuming this is related to app development?
I think you'd get a better response in the general Q&A forum mate.

This happens on my account, ever since I got it (which was a few weeks ago). It does not auto-subscribe to threads I reply to nor to threads I create; and, yes, in the options, it is set to "weekly notifications."
And, when I do subscribe to threads, it does not respect my notification type (instant, daily, weekly). I have it set to weekly, but my Gmail account is getting spammed every day dozens of times (popular thread, haha).

I gave up on it for now and I just use the XDA app with Latest, Participated to see every thread I have been on. I don't have any threads where I just read and never replied once so I don't miss anything this way.

Oh, that's nifty; I hadn't seen that on the app! Thanks!
--UPDATE--
Well, I think it's actually working now. I'm subscribed to this thread and a new one I just made, without doing it manually. Oh, and I realized why it wasn't respecting the notifications: just setting it to "Weekly" in options only do so for new threads, not old ones. Now I changed them all to weekly, *fingers crossed*!

The good-ol' fashioned way, ie, through my browser?
Or is there a way to do that from the XDA site, such that when I log in all my reference threads are in one place?

I was able to subscribe to a closed thread just now by clicking on the Subscribe to Thread link on the top of the page. I am using the XDA2013 theme.
I've started subscribing to threads I actively use instead of flicking through participated section instead. This is where a problem has arisen.
I don't want notifications from these topics cause my phone won't shut up otherwise, so I set them to receive no notifs yet I have them come through instantly anyway. It happens the same on both my S2 and my Xperia S, so that leads me to believe that it's a problem with the app. Anyone know if there's a way to sort it out so I don't get notifs from them?
