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.

You can set up wpa on it. Also enable access control. When someone tries to connect it will prompt you to allow or deny.
PS, wrong section. You may get flamed.
XDA is going downhill. 4-5 non-development related threads, at least, each time I load up to see what development has been taking place while I was away.
Might as well just merge all the sub-forums, XDA.

Personally I think the development forum should be restricted from "New Threads" and have a sub-forum of "Awaiting Approval" where someone can create a NEW thread, if it's development material, a Mod can move it there. There obviously would be the select few who are "developers" and will be allowed to create new threads in the development forum itself...
Just my dream.
Agreed. Making the development section moderated would be wonderful. In fact, I wouldn't even bother moving the unrelated threads into the proper forum. Delete them altogether and let the user figure out why their thread was nuked.
Some of the gibberish I read on here really makes me cringe at the level of literacy. Some examples include no punctuation, run-on sentences, even spelling errors in the subject, or useless subjects such as "Help". Surely these people must be older than 10 yrs old to be able to afford such a device, but show little effort in their request for help.
is it really hard to scroll pass this thread ?
not sure why ppl get so upset when someone posts in the wrong section...simply move on to the next thread
-access control allows who connects to your hotspot, just click to enable the devices u want to have access to the interwebs...
hope that helps.
I think they should open a PISS AND MOAN ABOUT POSTING IN THE WRONG SECTION thread. That's just me though

I don't really care. BUT I think new users should be quized on the rules before being able to post threads
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
Just in case you didn't know when you enable access control if you don't click on the box of the person who is trying to access your connection it will still show the person that they are connected they just won't have any internet connection. So if you testing it and wondering why your still able to connect on another device just try to go on the internet and you will see that you have been blocked. Ps to all the people getting on the guys case for posting in the wrong section after the first person pointed it out there is no need to elaborate. If your not posting to be helpful then you shouldn't post at all. Just my opinion.

Is it really hard to post in the correct forum. Rules are rules. Follow them unless people are being hurt.
And no, not their feelings, we don't care about those.
Im kinda surprised piss-and-moan-about-wrong-forum rants are allowed in development.

I'm kinda surprised posts like this are allowed in development.
See what I did there? This could go on forever.
So, I've been lurking around and starting to post, here.
I don't subscribe to any threads, but I should probably change that, because:
I CAN NOT FIND MY POSTS.
Where is the option to view my posts? I thought that was S.O.P. I checked FAQ, and didn't see the info.
Sorry I'm so darned stupid. I can find my posts through my hero cdma xda premium via profile, but that app seems to really drain the ol' battery.
I thank you in advance for your infinite kindness and wisdom.
Hi permazorch,
Firstly, welcome to XDA. You can typically view the threads/posts you have created in your public profile.
If you click on your username, you should be redirected to your user profile ... in case, this should be a direct link to it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2895835
HTH,
Thanks! It's appreciated.

also when when you log in across the top is a menu the user cp is where you can add your avatar and signature (the things where you put those pesky comments like "I miss my mind the most" welcome to XDA
dang you really didnt know huh
No, u r not the biggest idiot.
I made my first post 5months after creating my account. All that time i made few unsuccessful attempts to create insane threads in the development section. Xda was my first online forum and now im glad that i joined it.
Things keep changing mate....
my first few days i was confused by the whole "no posting in development" thing because its xda-DEVELOPERS.com i thought every forum was developers, i came here off google and didnt know about the development SUB-sections.
it happens. theres bigger idiots around.!
under your profile is the easiest way
Forums can get hard to get used to, especially since all are different. Best thing to do when your lost, is what you did.....ask away, you may get some flamers, but ignore them, and someone will offer good advice.
I use the xda app only. We have the participated tab. It shows the threads you are part of with the most recent contributions. Is there nothing like that on the webpage?

As a bigtime noob still trying to figure this place out, I'm glad you asked the question.
I'm not very good with MSPaint, but I mocked up something I think could help a lot of people navigate this site a little easier. The search function works, but why shouldn't you be able to see a list of ROMs at a glance? A lot of the development forums here have several sticky posts, and things become difficult to navigate.
When threads that just list ROMs contained in a forum have to be stickied, it shows that a change is necessary because people aren't able to locate the one they're looking for. There are several threads in the same dev forums that have the same keywords, and this makes searching very aggravating sometimes.
Let me know what you think about this mock-up. I know it looks kind of ****ty, but try to see what I was getting at. Instead of drilling down into the forum to find an official thread about a specific ROM, just click the icon at the top of the forum page... or you could put this type of list on it's own page separate from the actual developer forum.

They are currenty working on a Dev tool, that will make finding Roms much easier, plus lots more features, so your idea is a good one, just they are already on it.
I don't knock anyone who has an idea, good or bad. At least it shows ppl are thinking and want to share their idea
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.
