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.
So, I get updates from XDA via facebook and twitter, which is nice! The most recent one was about the iheartradio 3.0.3 app. There was a small thread and a link to the .apk for the app. Someone else had mentioned that they couldn't find the app in the market. So I went to the market on my PC36100 and I couldn't find it either. And then I remembered that the android market was now categorizing apps "not compatible" with particular devices. So, I went to the market via the web and there it was: iheartradio 3.0.3 - Not Compatible with my device! So, I went to the XDA thread to leave a little note about what I had found. WRONG! Because I have not posted 10 (threads, posts, replies?) I could not post to that particular "development thread". It's not a development thread, its an app notice, but I digress. I understand why XDA implemented this 10 post minimum, but it is a kind of a bummer. I don't post much on XDA because my knowledge of android is plebeian at best and the 10 post minimum doesn't help. I understand members, mods and devs are probably pretty tired of the vague, redundant and repetitive questions of the etiquette uninitiated and digitally uneducated masses... I'm just saying! [/RANT]
On the bright side, posting this increased your post count, and as of right now looks like you've broken the 10 post barrier. So, hooray, issue resolved!
i think the dev section is for roms only. u woulda got flamed bad. u coulda posted in the themes and apps section cuz u r talkin about an app
Hello,
I am a dev working on a popular Android app line and have seen quite a few posts here by user seeking support or sharing experience. While we do have a ticket system, a dedicated Android support team and a much less popular forum, I find most problems user experience are first report here, and many posts give valuable insights on how we can further improve our products.
So I am asking the possibility of opening a forum for a specific app or a line of apps, either with or without the official support.
NOTE: This is just an idea I come across reading posts here, and does not represent the stance of the company.
There already is a forum for that... go to android development and hacking, and then android apps... there is the forum dedicated to apps...... and in case you can't find it here's the link... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=530

err, a forum for "Applications and games created by xda-developers users for use on Android. No commercial apps/games allowed." seems not what I am asking for.
if its a paid app then xda too got dedicated forum for paid apps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=993
Thread closed since the OP already got his answer.
xda forum posts are a pain to search through- multiple topics are discussed in a single thread for a rom, a thread system like reddit would make this site so much more efficient to read. Alternatively, posts could be auto-tagged or categorized by issues and the user could filter based on those tags- imagine clicking on the tag "camera" and getting posts related to camera issues/solutions rather than reading through the whole thread. :silly:
Great idea, I've never thought of that...this could make it too easy to read the threads like u mentioned..this feature can be made for Android Development and Original Android Development sections, but one does not simply ask for a change. :silly:
(and you earned your first thank from me)

I agree with you. magnificent
We have a search function on the site and in our app also. Your idea is very good though, probably could reduce a lot of useless post and unneeded Question thread. The only issue I see for this though is implementing this into xda, one way we could do it small sections at a time. I'll bring this thread up with other mods and Admins for sure.
But it would make things horrible in large threads. Everybody would be wanting to participate in the main convo of the OP, and irrelevant issues could be dragged on and on; both of which would defeat the purpose.
Plus, there would be countless possibilites where a new post would appear.

Why not be able to choose the way you view the thread and subsequent replies? (Also, they can be hidden from view unless clicked on)

You want threads inside threads and just make more mess of the current layout and then more mods when not needed. Just leave things as they are. No need for more mess and more mods running around the place. :banghead:

Yo dawg, I heard you like threads, so I put the threads inside your threads, so you can read the threads while you read the threads

If you're using a browser, go to the top of the page and check under "display modes". One of them allows you to see the thread in conversation mode, so replies are tied to posts, making it more of a treeview.
I think this is what you're asking for.
If you're looking for it on the app then you'd have to speak to the Tapatalk developers about integrating said display modes into their app before it ever made its way into the xda app.

I don't think its a good idea. With that xda will become very messed up and not noob friendly.

Everyday, I used to make it a point to log on to xda and read the portal post, which explains new ideas, announcements, new apps, new features, reviews etc. The post explaned everything and that was an excellent source of knowledge, probably around two articles a day. But since the past 2 days, I am seeing like hourly articles, which takes me to a different website. No article, Only link. No explanation, why I should use the app, etc. I feel angry now, as xda was my only tech read.
Would you please link me to a news posting that fits your description? I have not seen any like you have described in all my time here on XDA.

Got it. Thanks!
What about RSS?
I have the same problem, too many news. I don't need apk/theme "news" for example, I just like XDA News http://www.xda-developers.com/articles/
How can I do that? Thanks
6+ theme posts a day is ludicrous. Posts should probably be categorized and filterable. How do I weed the crap out of my RSS feed? It looks like I can subscribe to a combined feed with everything in it, a Comments feed, and an External Links feed, none of which are particularly useful since this update.
I miss being able to open the portal post to see comments and read the whole post. Is there any way to that anymore? It just directs you to whatever is linked. All the posts are cut off as well. You can clearly see the author has written something, but you can't read it, and when you click it you just get another website. Look at the attached pics.

Mobile view seems to truncate the text. On a desktop browser, you can see the rest of the sentence.
This listing confirms many of the leaks we have seen so far including: Snapdragon 810, 3Gb of RAM and a 5" 1080p screen.

The website you are being taken to is the article. This isn't an XDA article, it's just one we've linked to.
Thanks for the clearification. Is this also seen as mobile view? It's taken from a tablet with request desktop site on.

The website dynamically changes depending on device and screen size i think. So it's going to be slightly different again for tablets I think.
