Email digest seems interesting for me. I'm not sure if this feature is embedded in Xenforo based Forums by default because the XDA Forum currently doesn't have that feature (as you mentioned). But I found on the Xenforo Forums that there is an add-ons to get the digest feature to be embedded into Xenforo based Forums, see link below.

What's New Digest

This XenForo 2.x addon sends daily, weekly or emails to users with a list of top new threads and top updated threads. Important changes for v5.0: the default option is now to honour the "Receive new and update emails" option in user...

xenforo.com

The links and references above are just my opinion, whether the email digest feature will be embedded or not, we'll just wait for the response from the Admin Forum and Moderators.
[About XDA developers] Oswald Boelcke:
@MikeChannon Sir, above for your attention.
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
The "option" I use is "no e-mail". When I feel like it I go to What's new -> Posts and get a list of threads I follow (watch) with new posts. There's also a badge on the "Alerts" icon at the top of the page telling me if anyone has specifically referred to me.
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Yes, for most people the Watched threads combined with Notifications by email or otherwise is usually the best option.

For a general or news site then getting updates on most popular or most updated thread etc may be very useful, but our forum site is primarily based around individual users looking for updates to specific threads and specific devices only...

so for example, if you have a Galaxy S20 you don't want updates on popular threads that refer to the S23 no matter how popular the thread might be.

The other aspect of this is that every add-on we have, particularly those that require database interrogation and subsequent emailing cost us in terms of Server speed and space. These things are ok for smaller sites but with 10 million members that's a lot of actions that would need processing. It also puts us in a difficult situation if the XF gets an update and the add-on doesn't. There is already an XF update available that we cannot install as it would affect some of our customized templates and we've only been using XF for a year or two!!

XDA RSS feeds to be finished or fixed please!

P1 for me 😉.

I really need the work on the RSS feeds to be completed or fixed please. I don't think anything has been fixed since the "changes" to the RSS feeds last year.

Thanks.
[About XDA developers] mxz55:
Moving this from Notifications are delayed by 1 pageload (feel free to delete)

I've noticed that notifications often don't appear when you visit any XDAforums page (by reloading an open tab, or from scratch by clicking/pasting the URL, while still logged in through session data).

That the red notification bubble will only appear on pageload #2. This can mislead users, thinking a single visit is enough to see if they have any replies, likes or anything relevant, they'll just close it again before getting the chance to notice they do. So, it can delay interactions across the forum.

Worth fixing? I think it is. Probably has to do with the timing of when notifications start to be fetched.

There was actually no need to repost this. You could just have reported your initial post, and we'd been happy to move your post to here. I've closed the thread.

[About XDA developers] zgfg:
Search this thread has never worked properly on XF but with some tricks it was possible to search (of course only for those who knew the trick)

However,.no more now

Click to Search this thread (in any thread), type in something or not, click to Search and you will get the famous XenForo 'feature" Broken Neo Matrix (or whatever it is)

Mobile browser
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
I can still search (tablet, browser).
[About XDA developers] zgfg:
I don't have tablet anymore and didn't test on PC

So, mobile browser in my case (reported for that)
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
FWIW, in mobile browsers Firefox and Naked Briwser Pro on Moto G Power 2021, Android 11, I'm able to search thread. Until a few weeks ago I had been using one of the legacy templates which required some workarounds which have not been required since I switched templates. Also it seems there may be a change in behavior on the back end since tapping search this thread goes directly to the thread search without offering Forum wide searches as might have been the case in the past. IIRC from previous discussions, you might be experiencing a different issue but if you've not tried already maybe it's worth checking different templates.
[About XDA developers] zgfg:
Which templates should I try?

And why - it is expected that a user can search for what he wants, not that he has to search for some templates (Dark theme, or anything similar that is 'obviously' related to Searching)

I'm actually surprised how some people constantly (from the beginning of the XenForo and is never properly working out-Search this thread) downplay that issue and thus help that the admins never care about, never address and fix it

You buy a car, turn the key and it doesn't start.

But no problem - go back, tap the left tyre three times, shortly open and close the trunk, look at the sky, and next time the engine will start.

Hence there is really no malfunctioning here, it works perfectly, it's just a stupid user who did not investigate what trick is required to get it working😁
[About XDA developers] khusika:
I've never had this problem before (both web and mobile version), have you tried to clear cookies and site data?
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
Well, I agree that it should work or there should be clear indications of known limitation but I would not say that the XDA admins don't care. In fact I'm inclined to think that XDA admins do care and are as frustrated as we are but cannot voice that as openly as we do.

As to the Template workaround, if you've never manually selected a template other than default this may not work for you but it's easy to check by going to XDA Account > Preferences > Style, and making sure you're not using either of the app themed templates

In my case the the search was returning results for a wildcard instead of intended search phrase when either of the 2 app-themed templates was used, and it sometimes would search all forums, but that did not occur when using any of the other templates. Even though that scenario may be a bit different than yours it's easy to check the templates just in case that's part of the issue.
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
I learned about the issue with templates a long time ago in older iterations of the forums, but it could be worked around by redirecting the search to the advanced search panel and interacting with the interface in a particular order of events. I had been using that workaround for so long that I forgot that the underlying issue was with the app themed templates. Then recently, possibly at the time of the changes to which @zgfg referred, that workaround began to fail...but only in those two app themed templates. The timing of events leads me to wonder if they are also using the app-themed templates but if they are not then this stuff does not apply.
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
Try changing your browser to request "Desktop site" (or whatever they call it when you ask them to use the UserAgent string for a desktop PC instead of the "mobile" variant).

For the record, mine still starts set to "Entire forum", but I think in one day (or less) if I do more searches it remembers that I selected "This thread" and starts by offering that.
[About XDA developers] Legitsu:
is "search this thread" ever accually going to search that thread. instend of searching every single thing except what I am trying to find

its never worked not since the forum update and nobody seems bothered to care
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
That's the part where I had to take steps in a specific order in order to get to thread only search. IIRC if I selected a different field and then when back to search criteria field it would go to Entire Forum and then to your point, when it finally went back to thread only it stayed there as long as I did not interact with other parts of the form. This is apart from or a co-symptom of the issue with conversion of specific criteria to wildcard .

Upon thinking about that now, these symptoms could easily be consistent with differences between the changed forum back end and the outdated template.
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
What template are you using?
[About XDA developers] Legitsu:
whatever the default is
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
Doesn't answer the question but at your leisure you could figure it out.
[About XDA developers] Legitsu:
don't even under stand the question template? what?

not my job to troubleshoot the board software
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
If you are using a browser, scroll to the bottom of the page. There should be a button in the lower left corner that says "XDA - Classic", or whichever interface "theme" you are using.
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
An answer to your question and a possible solution to the issue is just a bit further up this page where you could easily find it without searching, just by reading recent posts from the same discussion (as is expected of all of us), but you seem to expect someone to repost and spoonfeed that just for you, while you are being obnoxious to those who are trying to help even though they are not the cause of your misery. Hmmmmm, perhaps a different approach would be advisable.
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
An ancillary problem may be that not all templates show that button properly so people might have to do it in the settings I described a few posts ago.
[About XDA developers] Legitsu:
No you where not being helpful you where being flippant and my responce was in kind

no user should be expected to fiddle with page settings to get core fuctionality to work

it hasn't worked since the forum migration its been reported probly a hundard times at this point

so unless you are a admin with dev permissions and can accually fix the backend problem sod off

this crap is what is driving people away from xda

[About XDA developers] badabing2003:
Is the template chosen a server setting? As in it applies to all clients / browsers a user uses?

The last time I attempted to change the template on my mobile it effected my desktop experience, perhaps I'm mixing it up with something else, however if that is the case, it kind of limits it's purpose and usefulness.

This has probably been brought up before, but @badabing2003 reminded me

@MikeChannon it seems that XDA does not accept 7z attachments, only zip? 7z is a more efficient compression algorithm with archives often being 1/3 the size of zip

[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
Is it really necessary to restrict the allowable extensions?

On a vaguely related note, when I try to view a log file like this one by opening it in a new browser tab, the browser instead downloads the file. Then I have to view the file and delete the file when I'm done. I suspect this is because of the MIME type being provided, but I don't have an easy way to check.

Can you check what MIME type is being provided to the browser, and maybe change all of the extensions that you know are text to "text/plain"?
[About XDA developers] badabing2003:
I use https://github.com/Rob--W/open-in-browser to work around the issue.

This post includes a log file. Several places within it I see what I think is a South Park character (Cartman?). I think it is where a colon is immediately followed by a lowercase oh: :o

[Trace] tls_layer_impl::continue_handshake()

I just tried pasting a fragment three ways -- directly, as QUOTE, and as CODE. None shows the graphic to me.

I vaguely remember a setting to choose whether to do something with emoji character sequences, but I'm not sure what program. I haven't found anything in my XDA preferences, or in my browser settings.

I think the damage was done when the log was originally posted.

Any ideas what the original poster should do to stop this?

Correct, emojis should be disable on this site, they have no place on a Development site where code is posted every day.

XDA Forums:

[About XDA developers] woodman:
What is your issue exactly? Could you please be more specific about it?

Because I did some tests and I face no pb regarding RSS for xda:

1- if I add /index.rss at the end of the URL of any page of XDA >> looks like I get valid RSS feed on my end:. For instance by using: https://xdaforums.com/f/about-xda-developers.263/index.rss (for this page: About XDA developers)

2- Another test: If I add /-/index.rss at the end of the xda forum site URL to get RSS feed for the site in general >> Looks like I get a valid RSS feed as well. For instance by using: https://xdaforums.com/f/-/index.rss

3- Also, a more standard way, I have just tested directly with Feedly (RSS app) and it seems those links above are working well... I can also search for xda feeds by keywords within my feed app (Feedly) and I get whether forums items (https://xdaforums.com/) or portal items (www.xda-developers.com/)

Or maybe I misunderstand your problem completely?

[About XDA developers] Retrial:
@MikeChannon, A category for "Retro" or "Retro consoles" at Forums "Gaming" would nice.

I guess it can include posts for all the older platforms + emulation + the "new" retro consoles.
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Are you aware of several existing threads for these?

Mike
[About XDA developers] Retrial:
Well, I personally wanted to ask a specific question about which Retro handheld console to get but I couldn't find any proper section to post it.

I am not aware of several threads about Retro but as I see in the Gaming forums, the sections that exists there like xbox, playstation, switch etc. don't have many threads aswell. Perhaps if a Retro section exist, threads will pop up, idk.

I believe a Retro section which will include all the oldest consoles & questions + emulation about them, would be nice to have in general.
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
There's a thread or forum whose title or description is "Ask Anything". Post there and see what kind of response you get.
[About XDA developers] Retrial:
Since "Gaming" forum exist, my question would match better there.

As I said there are already sections at Gaming forum with 2-3 threads, I don't see why wouldn't be nice to have a section for "Retro" which will include threads for

all

the oldest (and new) retro consoles + emulation + games.

If not possible, as last choice I guess I will go to "ask anything" as you suggested but I think it's for Android only. Thanks 😜
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
My fear is that we create a forum but it then gets little traffic and looks bad/empty whereas posting in a general forum at least doesn't sit there looking empty like a separate forum might. Particularly if as you say even the Gaming forum doesn't look particularly busy.

You could post in the ask any question thread, or how about posting a thread in the Gaming Forum called something like

"Ask any Retro Gaming / Consoles / Emulation Questions here".

Then kick it off with your question post.

If others join in and it attracts interest then we can give it a Forum.

Just an idea.

Mike
[About XDA developers] Retrial:
I understand your point.

My thought was: since the gaming forums exist even with low traffic, at least with the addition of retro section would be somehow "complete" and would cover a range of devices/games/questions etc.

I guess I could create a thread like it "Ask any Retro Gaming / Consoles / Emulation Questions here" but in Gaming forum as you suggested there is only Pc Gaming, Xbox, Playstation, Switch and Steam deck. So this thread cannot be posted on any of these.

I will search tommorow where I can post this thread or I will to go to "ask anything".

Thanks Mike 👍

EDIT: I've opened a new thread here:

🎮Ask anything about Retro Gaming - Consoles - Emulation - Questions here👾

Hey guys, 👋 Since there is no category for Retro Gaming at "Gaming Forums" I decided to open a thread here to discuss about 👾Retro Gaming👾 and depend the traffic we may get a "Retro" category on gaming forums. Subjects we can discuss / ask...

[About XDA developers] Veiranx:
Hi everyone, I had a thought I wanted to share.

Is there any merit to modifying the thread design to allow for posts to be stickied? I know of some threads with hundreds of pages and thousands of posts that can be tedious to search through for some important information. If either a mod or thread's OP marked posts for stickying, it would certainly make it easier for newbies to find the info they need.

For example, in the Play Integrity Fix Magisk Module thread (https://xdaforums.com/t/module-play-integrity-fix-safetynet-fix.4607985/page-528#post-89314010), I was told the only real way to accomplish the same thing is to look at the Top Liked Posts along the side. This thread also has more than 10,000 posts and would likely lose some important posts in the shuffle of likes.

While certainly useful, I was instead thinking of there being a thin banner at the top of the thread containing a button to show the stickied posts. To additionally clarify, this would be visible atop each page for reference regardless of where the user is in the thread.

Thanks for your time and attention!

Since switching From one of the old App templates to one of the newer ones I have been able to search "this thread" but there is a quirk and the behavior might not be the same when search is invoked by different buttons. Here I'm speaking to Firefox and the search button in the top bar. The order in which "this thread" is selected and the actual search criteria is entered seems to be a factor, possibly due to the dynamic nature of the search box as text is entered. IIRC: This thread > Criteria > search works best in my case but might not in all cases.
