Welcome to forums
You need to arrive to certain number of posts so all XDA features can be unlocked.
Keep posting and you´ll get soon.
I was posting a solution to fix annoying wi-fi issues with Samsung Galaxy I 9000 with images but the forum is not allowing me to post ? I plan to contribute a full series of problem fixes with this particular device. Can any mod allow images only (no links to other sites) for my account ?

XDA the wonderful forum it is, but it has gone too big. Not that i'm complaining, but you're post seems to be lost many times because 100 other people posted after you especially in hot threads or ROM releases. So if you quoted someone or someone quotes you many times you skip it, or have to do a painful searches spanning 10's of pages...
Slickdeals.net (another big forum like XDA) has a wonderful system, that whenever someone quotes you're post you get a pop-up next time you log in with a link which takes you straight to the reply. I was wondering if such a system is possible here also?
Regards
BUMP
This feature would be really nice to have!
I like to idea, but I think it depends on the forum system. As I remember XDA uses vBulettin, you should check if it's possible to do this and if so you could ask one of the admins to set it. So to answer your question it's possible, but the admins won't change the source of the forum to do this.

I like this idea too. It might be too resource-intensive (we never want to add a feature that slows down the site). I'll ping our server admin to see if this would be possible.
I am really missing this type of feature!
Specifically, I know many other vBulletin forums that have a /whoquotedme.php page - it shows a list of the latest posts in which you were quoted. It greatly helps in discovering who's trying to communicate with you, answer a question you might've had, or ask one of you [without specifically sending a pm].
I believe something like http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=255285
I think it checks every post to see if there is a user id present when there is a quote in the post, and then associates a link to that post with the user who was quoted.
I haven't specifically heard of it being a resource hog, but then again I am not a vBulletin admin

Wow really, is it because is it too resource intensive? Slickdeals, is also hosted on vBulletin platform..

Yes, it was determined to be very resource intensive, for a site with 4 million users, as every post would have to be checked as it was made, to see if it mentioned someone...

how about allowing users to jump to their last posts in a thread?
having to search for your own post in a thread, especially a popular ROM thread for example, is a very annoying...

That would be cool, but I'd be happy if notifications worked at all. Mine quit working two updates ago and haven't worked since.

Are you referring to notifications to new replies on subscribed threads or new PMs? Those are definitely working. If your having an issue with that, we can certainly help you get to the bottom of why your not receiving yours.
When I want to go back to recent conversations I was involved in I use the "Find all posts by" link.
Click on your user name at the top right, select Statistics and there's the link - "Find all posts by your username". I've bookmarked this for easy access.
That way, if I've taken part in a conversation then I can carry on where I left off. If I don't want to see what people responded with then I obviously don't care, and that's up to me to choose. It's the easiest way to keep track of what you were involved in.

Hmmm. Well I just upgraded to a new phone yesterday so let me see if they work on the new one or not. I didn't turn them on assuming it was broken. I had an Eris and a lot of Eris users were complaining that the notifications had quit. I'll let you know.
Thanks
My notifications definitely are not working. I wiped all app caches, uninstalled the xda app, wiped data/dalvik cache and cache/dalvik cache and rebooted twice. I then reinstalled xda app, logged in and set preferences. Still no notifications and I have no idea why. Email and text messages work.

If you think of it like that way, it is...
However at slickdeals I think its implemented like whenever someone quote's, a notification is being sent to the ID whose post was quoted...that notification later pops up at bottom when that user logs on, similar to PM dialog which pops, you don't make an actual search in the post that if mentioned someone, so not that resource intensive I feel
Hi, don't know if this is just me but for a while now when I search a thread and click on the post it no longer takes me to it, seem to take me somewhere near it but no actually to it any more. Is this a known issue?

I suppose you mean to say it dosen't take you to the latest post. Actually, it takes to the first unread post.
If you have a different problem, you can always contact one of the admins.

Not its not that, try this as an example. Searcha ROM thread for somerthing, "battery drain". Pick one of the thread replies and click on it. It used to take you to the exact place in the thread where it was so you could then view the subsequent replies, now it doesnt even take you to the right page so looking for anwers to questions is much more difficult.
I'm finding that the past few days, every time I reply I get a Error saying that I must wait 20s between replies. If I go back, I see that the reply was posted. If I wait 20s, it will post a second time.
I'm using Chrome. This just started a few days ago. Everything seems to be trying to post twice.
Just a heads up that it could be widespread.
I posted this in the Recognized Developer forums, thinking it might get a better response, but was sent here.

Double Post. Sorry.
Hi,
If you try the following workaround, you should be absolutely fine until the admins are able to fix the problem :
KidCarter93 said:
Instead of doing a Quick Reply, click Reply on any post of the thread you want to post in. Once the text box shows up, you can get rid of all the quoted text and then post your comment.
This should then only post your comment once. It's as if it tricks the system by thinking that you're replying to someone. Therefore, the error causing these issues must lie with the Quick Reply option.

As you mentioned, this issue appears to be fairly widespread as I've seen it mentioned, aswell as seeing it happen, by a multitude of users across a multitude of forums. It's strange how it doesn't effect everyone though.
Also, this bug isn't triggered if you were to use the xda app/Tapatalk.
Hope this helps

Hello, all XDA-Users.
I know, most users know this, but not every XDA-Member…
I'd really like to say something here:
I truly see too many XDA-Users, that simply post something, without thinking about the fact, that somebody maybe overlook/misses your post.
Well, this is OK, but not, if the post is for a specific user.
If somebody wants to reply/say something to another user, without Quoting a Post of the user or mentioning somebody with @[Username]; the [Username] will not be notificated.
That will cause, that there's an extremely low chance, that [Username] will read the post. Maybe he/she looks at the thread at a random moment or recieves a private message etc. Maybe the Member is subscribed to the thread and takes a look randomlý.
But,
If you talk to somebody, please make use of the Quote/Mention-Feature‼
I'm saying this to anybody, who is a member on XDA-Developers.
[Quote="Username"]
Quoted Text [/QUOTE]
[MENTION]XDA-Member-ID[/MENTION] (mine is [B]6011384[/B]) or simply type @Username

I remember your signature once to have a text similar to the following one:
„If you want me to read your post, please either Quote/Reply to my post or type/paste @ИΘΘK¡€ in your post.“
Thanks for your reply
Many members actually forget to use Quote/Mention.
I think, it makes sense to put this into the Non-Urgent Forum rules.
I've seen another post, where Quoting/Mentioning isn't used.
@Hannah Stern, I believe this thread would be a better place for the recommendation you posted above - that way the mods can see it and consider it.

trying to learn how to quote >.<
[MENTION]6011384[/MENTION] @Hannah Stern So it sends them a notification, yet the username doesn't become a clickable link?
And no problem if the username has spaces in between?
*Edit: The username becomes a clickable link, and it appears that spaces in the username isn't a problem, when using with @
Even if you use the @ option, it automatically changes to mention option which you can see by editing the post.
Also, the correct way to use the Mention option is
[MENTION=XDA-Member-ID] 'any text here, preferably the username, and without the quotes' [/MENTION ]
