my little suggestion to the forum

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.

[Suggestion] - Premium version with no ads

Is there any thought going on to have a premium membership without ads for xda.
I know majority wont agree but would love to browse the forum without ads and help the community with a premium version
Use the aPP

Thats correct, we have an XDA Premium app on the Android Market which allows you to browse the Forum on Android phones and tablets ad free!

thanks. But i am aware of the app. But how about when using my computer ?
Currently i prefer using the app all the time becoz i can have 50 posts per page , viewing pics is better and so on.
I wish some of these features were included in the web version, atleast as a premimum feature.
You can set 50 posts-per-page in the browser, it's in the User CP somewhere. I love it, all those 100+ page threads magically turns into 20-pagers.
Ads.. They are on everything.

malware warning from chrome coming to xda

Content from security.rltk.us, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. Visiting this page now is very likely to infect your computer with malware.
Is what I'm getting. anyone else?
I also got this. Xda needs to do something. I hope all the users have good paid antivirus. Not the the free or hacked kind.

I also got this message, but not on every page. I think it's because of some special ads on the side / top which might be untrustworthy?
Yar, getting it too.
i to got it but webroot showed nothing in the scan, weird?
I confirmed its from a new ad that Xda is running on some of their pages, If you enable adblock on xda (i hate doing that becasue i support this site) the warning goes away.
Granted xda needs to do something.

how do i do that?
The malware is just probably some add sites on which they embed php codes inside the image files for tracking page views. Pretty harmless to me

If you are a chrome user.. you need to add an adblock extension from chrome store..
Firefox means addon of adblocker ... well till this issue gets resolved.. later you can remove it..

How to stop xda full page ads?

Does anyone know how to stop these full page ads that open with each new page in xda? Banners...no prob, full page ads that require you to hit the X to close them is a little extreme. Am I the only one being BOMBED with ads on XDA?
