[Q] Viewing new posts in which you have participated

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.

[Q] Google Reader Sub Forum RSS?

I would like to subscribe to sub forums Example: Evo 4g and Nook Color Android Development. I use the Xda App and its amazing, but I would like all the new post to appear in my news when I read them all, I subscribe by email but not fast enough or sometimes it doesnt appear. Any idea how I can do so with out subscribing to whole xda rss feed. Thanks

I'm also searching for this option. Any ideas?

I'm looking for a solution to this too. So far I've been recommended FeedBurner, but that just works at the thread listing level. I'm looking to generate a RSS of the posts from within a thread... Anyone got any suggestions?
The two feeds that I've found that XDA generates are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765
(change 765 to the forum level that you want)...
But this still doesn't list from within threads....

super easy go to the sub-forum and click the RSS button on your browser to get RSS link. copy to Google Reader.
if you have chrome you can subscribe to Google reader with 2 clicks. Rss button> Subscribe.

Nook Colour Dev.
http://www.google.com/reader/view/f...opers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=864
wow hard.
note: rss feeds show newly started THEADS, not new posts, nor does it "bump" up an older thread with new posts,
nor can you subscribe to a "Device" subforum as a whole ( general Q&A Dev and Apps together), only sub-forums OF the device ( general, q&A ect SEPARATELY for each device)

Thanks trusselo, I found the regular RSS feeds as I said in my post. It's whether or not there is one for within the forum thread itself; and it appears there is not. I've tried various sites to dynamically generate a RSS from a web page, but they are terrible and syndicate a whole bunch of useless data.
Has anyone managed to use a third party site to generate a clean and usable RSS feed of posts within a sub forum?

I am not aware of a feed of posts, due to the huge number of posts you will see... New threads is all that rss covers afaik

Ye I was thinking that, but at the same time an RSS of thread data would be no more than what each page generates in standard forum HTML, especially if the feed was paginated with around 10-20 posts per page, like the thread pages are now.
I'll put it in as a feature request and see what happens in the future.

Forum RSS feeds

Sorry for the stupid question, i'm sure the forums had RSS links for each individual section of the forum but I can't seem to find it any more.
Could someone point me in the right direction or have they been removed?

anyone?

For some reason we don't have an icon for it.
Here's the URL for this forums' RSS feed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=263
Just replace the forumids=xxx with the forumId of the one you want to subscribe to.
Thanks
Dave

thanks, just what I was after

I've searched through the XDA archives but can't find any way to subscribe to an individual thread (not just forum ID) via RSS. Is this something that currently works?
Thanks.

Hi lio, thanks for that. I'm still trying to generate an RSS feed for within a thread though. So for instance I'm trying to get a feed for the following thread data:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765
... and feedburner gives me the following two feeds:
Code:
xda-developers - Desire HD Android Development - RSS Feed: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2&forumids=765[/url]
xda-developers RSS Feed: [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/external.php?type=RSS2[/url]
... both of which are not generating from within the thread, they're just listing the different forums themselves. If you see what I mean?

These links no longer work
Is there some other link that we can use?

I know this is an old thread, but I'd settle for an RSS of my "Subscribed Threads & Forums" page. That alone would be enough for me...

Seems no viable solution exists...

I too would like this. I see XDA has their own feed reader app for the forum. Maybe they disabled RSS feeds so that we'd be forced to use their app so they can make $$? Kind of gay, RSS feeds allow me to check multiple forums from one list on one app.
Closest thing I found searching the forums is this: https://feeds.feedburner.com/xda-developers/ and maybe it can be modified to show the forum that you want?

Subscribed threads no instant email notification

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

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:
Typed using a small touchscreen

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 :/

[Q] Viewing a parent forum on web-site

I have searched and can't find a reference to this. Previously I subscribed to each of the forums within a particular device's area, e.g.
HTC Desire S
General
Question & Answer
Accessories
Development
Themes & Apps
The problem is that when you are following three devices as well as the 'General' forums it means a lot of scrolling up and down on my mobile device. I have noticed that using the XDA Premium app I can actually subscribe to the parent forum (e.g. HTC Desire S) and this then appears in the app, with the ability for me to tap on it and see all the sub-forums. This is really useful. The problem is that the web-site version seems to then lose those forum subscriptions entirely.
Is there a solution for this, or is it just a 'feature' that I will have to live with?

I tried finding a solution to this a while back but there's no way to do it, unfortunately.
Hopefully the admins would think about implementing it if you make a request for it. It's definitely a good idea though.

Thanks for that. Request made - let's hope it is something they can implement fairly simply.

Hopefully yeah. I wouldn't think it would be too difficult for them to do.
