[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
Same problem here. Was ok when I went to bed. Woke up to find the problem. As you said, only with subscribed forums.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
OK I understand now. I can reproduce the issue if I use my subscribed sub-forums and then try to see the content (no item to show is displayed like you). But if I do a search using search plus feature, threads are well displayed in sub-forums.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
1st screenshot: view from subscribed.

2nd screenshot: view from search plus results.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Then, it should be a server issue in the end since it appeared suddenly and for all apparently.

It would be better if reporting with a log.

But in any case, if you read above, this has been reported including with a log, so all we need to do now is wait for a response to see what is actually happening.

There are plenty of ways for taking a log.

One of the methods is already explained here in the first page, under faq. See the question about bug reporting.

Just wanted to point out that threads load after tapping the drop down menu from nothing to show screen as a quick work around until the issue is fixed...

I'm a "me too" on the "nothing to show" in subscribed forums. This is latest version (just updated) on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+. Prior version didn't exhibit that behavior. I cleared the apps cache and data, restarted - still the same.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
This is not directly related to the app, this issue didn't exist after 1.1.4b was pushed. I've tried with a previous version (v1.1.3.3b) and the "no item to show" is also happening, thus my suspicion of the server side issue.

Pinging [MENTION=5136613]rwestergren[/MENTION] in case he has time to look into the previous pages (including my post with logs here:

Clicking down on the menu arrow & selecting a subscribed forum is working for me as a temporary work-around,otherwise,the same problem as everyone else here.

Problem persists across all three of my devices (Note FE/OP5T/Xiaomi Mi A1) using the latest & previous version of the app.

So,that rules out different versions of Android,hardware & user error.

Not really. I've tried and no luck at first but then I've killed xda labs app and it worked! But finally I closed the app and then launched it again but it still fails: "no items to show" displayed from subscribed forums tab for a particular sub forum.

As said by [MENTION=7311754]Bogdan010[/MENTION], the only solution for now is the "dropdown workaround" :)

So is this bug fixed? It seems entirely backend related.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Not fixed yet.

Yes I also thought it was backend related, that's why I've pinged Randy here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3241866&p=75638544

Hi all, when entering forum via Tapatalk, the subscribed forums will load without issue.

Don't know if it's helpful but anyway...
[Android Apps and Games] Choose an username...:
I literally can't use the app. I can enter the "my device" section without problems, but when I want to enter any of the subforums (guides, roms, q&a) i just receive a "Couldn't parse forum URL". This also happened before when I changed "My device" to see other device forum, but mine always worked after returning to it. Is this known? do you need logs?

p.s. This behavior started after i switched to an Oreo ROM. When I was in stock (Axon 7) it would just give that error on other devices' forums as stated above. now i just can't use it for anything
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Tapatalk doesn't use the same backend API, that's why list of threads in subscribed sub-forums can load successfully in Tapatalk but not in XDA Labs.

So, your post confirms one more time the issue is a XDA Labs backend issue which has been brought to the Labs API backend guy Randy.
[Android Apps and Games] TheArkive:
Just wanted to add some info i haven't seen yet regarding the "No items to show" error when selecting a subscribed forum.

This seems to only happen when selecting a subscribed forum that has no sub forums. Subscribed forums that DO have sub forums display content properly, as do the sub forums. So... Forums like SuperSU and Magisk are affected while parent device forums are not.

Seems like XDA Labs issue.

Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] :
For some reason it gives me a cannot parse forum error when trying to goto certain threads. Like J3 (2017) for example.
[Android Apps and Games] saransh arya:
I have something which maybe a possible temporary fix until issue get resolves.

Example if you want to go to redmi note 4 snapdragon forums(my device) and if it doesn't load from direct forum link go to redmi note 4 and then further to the forum of snapdragon,it works most of the time,for threads which you can't keep looking just hold the thread and place it on your homescreen.:fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] jelive:
Also Xda Premium app works instead of using Xda Labs app.
[Android Apps and Games] djg269:

It's not odd, it's [MENTION=5136613]rwestergren[/MENTION] who fixed it in the backend. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] TheArkive:

Seems more of a issue with the XDA Forums Server instead of the XDA Labs app , Think about it there's way way lots of members in XDA Forums and which ever Server the Forum is running on is way to much for it XDA Is very much a big Forum so the servers it is running on can't handle it like it use to before, I think XDA Forum needs and Upgrade on server side cause even on PC it takes way to long to load up , at one time years back it wouldn't do this , cause even Tapatalk gets the same issues to load up XDA , Mean while i have gone to Android Central and a lot of other forums i am on from Tapatalk and they load up right away, Just my Opinion that's why the XDA Labs has lots of issues , i am just saying this cause i use to run forums myself .
[Android Apps and Games] x.trinity:
I've just experienced bad response from xda app.
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Hello,

how can we help you?
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
I guess It would mainly need some extra money to upgrade / optimize the xda servers. Maybe the owners of xda would love to upgrade but the money would be the key :)

My 2 cents.

insert link test
[Android Apps and Games] strongst:
Correct: Servers are not for free nowadays and just my small vroot costs 100€/year. The other dedicated one 400€/year :silly:

For xda you need some more performant servers + ddos protection that costs a little bit...

Since updating to Oreo can't download apps. Doesn't seem to be a way give permission to install apps from unknown source to this one.
[Android Apps and Games] strongst:
Never faced this problem on Oreo with several devices :eek: did you grant permission? Normally labs didn't ask for it(in my case) :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Venom0642:
Oh i totally agree with you, can get in contact with me i could give a donation to help, but i know we would definitely need more to get this site upgraded, but if need help i am willing to donate something to help.

[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
The donation system changed a while ago. It used to be a direct donation to XDA but for legal reasons it has been changed for the Ad-free system. So if you want to support XDA, you can offer Ad-free to a fellow xda member (preferably a non Moderator or a non Recognized member because they have ad-free by their titles anyway) :)
[Android Apps and Games] Eleo:
Me, me!

:D

Jokes aside, I tried ad free for a month to check for site load speed and I was impressed at first 2 weeks. It was superfast and webpage loaded in an instant. Other times, after webpage is loaded I needed to wait about 10-15 seconds for buttons to be working (I needed "report" one only). But then, in next 2 adfree weeks it started to lag again even though there is no ads. Then I understood that those two are not directly linked. Maybe in first 2 weeks there were some kind of ease on server-side

:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] woodman:
Yeah I assume it's not so easy to manage a website running a so big community. :(
[Android Apps and Games] BillGoss:
In Oreo it needs storage access Settings>Apps>XDA>permissions

And install unknown apps Settings>Apps>Special access>Install unknown apps
[Android Apps and Games] Tinbender418:
Already granted permissions and tried setting for unknown apps. Unfortunately does not show up under install unknown apps, but thank you for responding.

I'm having a similar problem as a user reported earlier: can't download/update stuff via labs. No obvious reason, been on Oreo for some time and worked OK... Then it didn't.

Permissions are fine, tried clearing cache/data, restart the phone, reinstall the app, all to no avail.

When i click download, the network usage spikes as if it was really downloading but the download manager doesn't show. Then i get a toast saying something went wrong and the download failed.

Could someone help, please?

Edit: force stopping XDA Labs *and* restarting the phone seems to have done the trick - at least that's what i tried last.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I just saw this and thought it was kinda amusing. I'm sure you're aware of this but to help clarify, the problem is vbulletin (the forum software XDA is based on). The forums are largely bottlenecked by the database (including the API Labs uses for forums). Furthermore, all of the platforms on XDA run on a variety of hosting solutions spanning a large number of servers.

Labs API and website (Only the store/Xposed portions) alone run on over 30 different servers and serve millions of API requests a day.

I'm not speaking specifically to or for XDA but in general running a website that gets as much traffic as xda can be quite expensive. We're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars a year just to host things.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
I had heard a lot of bad things about vBulletin over the years.

Without speaking about the costs, are there any plans of switching over to a different database provier?
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
Again, there's only so much hardware you can throw at something fundamentally inefficient and bloated. Switching providers wouldn't do anything, they're already using world class enterprise hosting platforms.

Not to say that the guys at XDA aren't still trying and figuring out new ways to optimize the software, because they definitely are.

I'm not involved in server hosting conversations for anything not involving Labs or Feed.

Edit: also consider XDA is (to my knowledge) the largest internet forum on the planet and has been around since 2002. If it was as simple as an upgrade we'd be there by now.
[Android Apps and Games] moriel5:
How about a pilot test of p2p?

That could theoretically help allieviate some of the strain on XDA's servers.
[Android Apps and Games] Wolfcity:
There seem to be some hiccups with the XDA servers atm, I posted something on the website (PC + Firefox) and couldn't see the post. I remembered the issues we had some days ago and checked my post on XDA labs and there it was. It seems to be the same thing with delayed visible posts when using the website.
[Android Apps and Games] blk_jack:
I'm not involved at all with anything forum related. Labs uses the forum API but that's the extent of it. Sorry!
[Android Apps and Games] Ibuprophen:
I'm just throwing out a suggestion here that may, hopefully, help you out.

Go to the following XDA User Control Panel link...

https://xdaforums.com/usercp.php

... then select the Profile option.

Or just simply go to your following ,specific profile page...

https://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=5237901

... then if you look under the "Statistics" category, in your profile, you will find the following 2 options...

"Find all posts by Wolfcity"

"Find all threads started by Wolfcity"

If your Post and/or Thread was posted, it should be reflected within one/both of the results.

This is a great alternative to locating something you had posted.

Good Luck!

Off-topic and also not to add on the backend topic (which I agree can be a pain in the butt), but today I thought that my (probably 5 or 6 years old) version of Tapatalk app finally died and is no longer usable. It turns out that even the latest version have the same issues: can't post or quote, can't thank, no quick reply box showing.... I won't go into how shocked I was bout tge insane amount of ads squeezed everywhere - even between the title and actual text of a thread entry list! Deplorable really.

Don't think so. There is an issue with server acting up and admins are already aware and looking into it.

same issue was with Legacy app of XDA no thanks no reply nada.

But now it's back and I can see the reply and thanks option in tapa as well.

Seems like the big guys are revamping something nice or fixing a a huge list of bugs. As of now nothing is disconnected as even Legacy app uses tapa base.

Or maybe the end of all other apps except xda labs who knows but for now it's not official ?
