Previous threads preview when creating new threads

Hello there!
I have a small suggestion to help minimize duplicate threads.
This is especially prevalent in the HD2 forum where every day people make new threads about Android on HD2 (which, I am guilty of doing too...my apologies )
So, on some other vBulletin boards in which I am a member, they have a great feature.
When someone is creating a new thread and puts in the thread title, the board displays previous threads that have similar titles. I really think it is necessary to have that functionality in here too.
Just my 2c
Thanks for reading!

It's one I have suggested a few times before, but I am not sure what vB mod it is.
Any ideas?

Is this it?

Thanks, I'll stick on the admin's list and see what he says

thanks for reading

I hope the admins can realize this, it would be a great feature.

So I looked into this and turned on a plugin that shows related threads at the bottom of each thread page. Two problems with it: 1. It's not that useful 2. It affects sever performance.
If anyone knows of a plugin that will search as you type a new thread title in, that would be great.

Don't know about the real time search (I am not an admin so I don't know the first thing about vBulliten) but here is the screen shot of an example of what I was talking about from the avsforum board in the first post and the relevant plug in:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and here is the page for the plug in:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=151714
I understand that this plug in is heavy on the server. As such, is it possible to turn it on just for some high activity sub forums?

[TIPS]Instant Wake Lock Galaxy Note II

Okay, guys, I've heard all of the galaxy note 2 users complain about this. THE WAKE LAG, and seriously it's really annoying for me, and I think it will annoys you guys too especially for the user who "lock and wake" device oftenly. just to see message, clock, notification, etc.
I read so many guide that won't help me out..
Basically, the cpu go to the deep sleep state, and when you wake the device, it has a delay. So, let's prevent the device into the deep sleep mode. if you're oftenly lock-wake your device, IT WILL NOT DRAIN YOUR BATTERY. except you dont want to use your device for 12hours or so then you better disabled it. I did the research and I already used the app for a month or so to make sure it's work before I share to you guys.
Since I found this app, the LAG is COMPLETELY GONE. :victory:
Here's the screenshot for the settings. You can download the app from the link at the bottom of the post.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do exactly what it says on my screenshot,
The awake level must be on CPU wake only, then the others, check it all.
Disable on low battery is up to you.
I recommend you to reboot the device after you set the settings.
And Here is the link for the app, called RedEye :good:
It's a free version which contain non-annoying ads. because the ads only appear when you enabled it. which is 4 seconds for forever. :victory:
but still there is a paid version for supporting the developer
RedEye Sleep Toggle
Really appreciate the thanks button if it works for you.
FYI : My device is rooted, I hope it works for the unrooted version too. cheers :highfive:

This is the absolutely wrong section for this.
a) you did not create this
b) this is not anything flashable, not a ROM, script, kernel.
c) this should be in "themes and apps", at best.
If nothing else, you should have been able to read the stick thread at the top titled "[Warning] MUST READ 1st"
A mod will be coming along shortly to move your thread, and officially tell you this.

Thread Moved to Help and Troubleshooting as this is not original development.
Yes, it links to an app, but you are providing help with your post, so there it lies.
Please read and post in accordance with XDA posting rules.

I'm sorry, my fault. It's because I saw another guide for eliminating wake lag in the development section, and yes he make a script. I'm just share.

If you have a problem, how can anyone help, when they don't know, what phone you got, what ROM, What Kernel is installed, what caused the current problem and what you had done to solve it.
All these matters, for an XDA member to even THINK of helping you and they might just ignore, since you could not be bothered to provide the details. Most of all specific phones have specific forums and you should first use the search for that forum or look in the WIKI for that particular Phone, Imagine some one gave you an answer meant for a another phone that is not similar to yours, you could end up spending a lot of time and money trying to recover it. So be wise and do your part, search for your phone in this forum and post it there after you have tried searching for the answers you are seeking in that specific forum.
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.

I'm suggesting to open threads in correct sections and explain the situation thoroughly.

With the increasingly large number of BBM threads being created throughout XDA on a regular basis, the Moderation Team assigned to this group of forums has decided that it's simply not feasible to allow it to continue any further. Since BBM groups are more of a social group rather than a discussion about a particular device, they are not appropriate for a device specific forum such as this one, and in the interest of keeping the forums clean we have decided to close all BBM threads in our assigned device specific forums.
Having said that, there are options still available to users that require the use of BBM groups as a medium for communication:
1) You may post your PINs, group info, etc., in the BBM for Android located in XDA General.
2) You can send your info through a private message to the OPs of existing BBM group threads.
3) You can include your PIN, QR code, or group info in your signature.
Since BBM groups are a relatively new topic on XDA, it is still possible that certain accomodations could be made sometime in the future depending on the overall need. Until then, the decision to close all BBM threads in our area will remain in effect so we appreciate your understanding and cooperation on the matter.
Thank you

[Q] How do I subscribe to a forum using the website???

I could find no other answers to this question except one in a Samnsung Galaxy thread, and that didn't help.
I did notice there was one other question on this topic... But it was submitted by me almost 8 months ago. In response to that post, I received a response similar to one you would expect from a bloated government—a moderator instructing me—not a brief sentence as to what should be a simple answer—but instructions on how to create more post clutter.
OK.... So how do I subscribe to a forum using the website??? It is very easy and intuitive on the mobile app.
Here is a screenshot of my screen in Google Chrome.
http://imgur.com/yt3OLnh
I must be blind, but I can find nothing.... under any option or tab or anywhere (at least not obvious in any way) on how to subscribe to the forum I am in.
One suggestion if I may... since this data is so easily discoverable in the mobile app (it shows me what forums I am subscribed to), can't you take that data for that user and apply it to the website???? It would seem very logical and efficient.
Please advise....and I am hoping I can find my way back here....

@syntropic,
Since I use the XDA 2013 Beta - 1024 theme, these instructions use it.
To subscribe to a thread, first, scroll down to the bottom of any XDA page and click on the Style Chooser found in the left-hand corner. Click "XDA 2013 Beta - 1024". Now, navigate to the thread to which you would like to subscribe, and look for the "Subscribe to thread" button as shown in this screenshot:

yes, how do we subscribe to a forum. Not a thread.

Click the subscribe to forum button

Thanks, I see it on the general forum. However it's not enabled on every subforum, such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lg-leon/lg-leon. Our only option is using the RSS feed in the pages source code. Subforums without the "subscribe" button also do not have their own rss feed.
I also tried to modify the subscribe link but it goes to a different subforum. 1507 is the lg leon forum id, but this shows something else:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php?do=addsubscription&f=1507
It looks like our only option is page2rss.com. This has me wondering if vbulletin gets paid a fee for every rss feed and subscribe button.
