[About XDA developers] maybeme2:
The watched category is the one I most like to be on. After finishing reading a thread (like this one), I usually like to get back to the 'watched' screen to read the next watched thread. Currently, that involves scrolling to the top of the current thread, and (on a narrow phone screen) the watched category is not visible (see screenshot). To get to it one needs to scroll horizontally 2-3 screens to get to it.

These are too many steps. It should be easier to get back to the watched screen! Perhaps the back arrow should take you there. Or the category list on the screenshot should be rearranged so watched is visible in the left category choices.

Thanks.
[About XDA developers] Wolfcity:
Another way to get to the watched threads is by tapping the hamburger menu in the upper left and tap on "your account". May not be the perfect solution but an alternative.

[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
"Search" is still poorly behaved for me, in a browser, on a tablet.
[About XDA developers] recurringintensity:
mine did alright after I added a little syntax to it. I'm not sure what all works with XDA's search engine, but I can confirm quoting works with browser search. However searching with the app is.. ok. When I search 'new xda app' it returns everything but this thread, having too many common terms from what I can tell. If I add '2021' though it will return this thread. Search can be tricky. What isn't working exactly for you?
[About XDA developers] jcmm11:
One of my watched threads is "Share your unused promo codes" in the Collaboration Forum

In the app when I hit View I get a message:

Oops! We ran into a problem!

[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
Thank you!!

While you're at it.. can you up the line limit? The way it calculates the limit doesn't seem super intelligent so even though mine is all floatlefts and in reality only 6 lines when collapsed, it's telling me "Your signature is 69 line(s) too long." 😅

The other hopefully more trivial one is attachment limits. I think it's at 10 per post right now, but I've got like 15 in my Odds thread OP, so I can't really update it without losing a number of them currently, which isn't ideal. 🤞
[About XDA developers] tiho5:
Absolutely agree with you. The category list on the screenshot should be rearranged so watched is visible without having to scroll.

[About XDA developers] plegdroid:
I do like the idea of a rearrange option 👍. As a crude work around. Navigate to watched threads, within the browser options, add to home screen. Using the link now on home screen, the home screen link is default view to watched on loading the site. If you want to get back to the watched view from any other thread, just swipe the browser view from recents and re press the link from home screen back to watched threads. But yes a rearrange/make default view option (the app has this option) would be great ☕😊

My problem is in submitting a Search: In landscape orientation, if I click the Search text box, the keyboard will not stay open -- it opens, then closes itself. I can click the magnifying glass to open the dialog box. Choosing "This Thread" does no good: I can't type a search string because the keyboard won't stay open; if I go to Advanced, "This Thread" is not an option, and choosing "This Thread" in the dialog box before going to Advanced does not make the search submitted from Advanced a "This Thread" search. In portrait orientation, the keyboard will stay open, but the gear wheel will not open the dialog box, so I can't choose "This Thread".

[About XDA developers] HippoMan:
Is there any way I can pay money to stop getting all of the ads on this new site?

This new-and-improved forum software has new-and-improved ways to put up intrusive, annoying advertisements. I understand the need for the site to generate revenue, and I am gladly willing to pay some sort of ongoing fee to keep these ads out of my life.

I can't find any pay-for-an-ad-free-experience options here, but I'm hoping that I'm missing something.

Thank you in advance for any pointers.
[About XDA developers] theelderstatesman:
I posted that already:
[About XDA developers] HippoMan:
I'm sorry for missing your earlier post. I'm still getting used to the software here and I overlooked it.

I got another message elsewhere which referred me to uBlock origin. It apparently can hide ads without fully blocking them and therefore, without preventing XDA from getting the revenue. I will check that out, but ideally, I'd rather just pay XDA for an ad-free version of this site.

[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
Yes, I am using a browser. Several browsers on Android tablet, all have this problem. One browser on Windows desktop, no particular problem.
[About XDA developers] recurringintensity:
I can't speak to how it works on the browser as I'm using a forced version of firefox (they borked the new version) however if it's not allowing you to select 'this thread' etc then it's likely your device doing that weird fullscreen keyboard crap a lot of them do. I just installed and tested firefox beta and it worked for me. that's why I tend to think it might be device focused? what keyboard are you using? and device?

Missing all symbols and loading is slow. Logging out and clear cookies but problem is still here. Win10 Edge Browser
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
When it works: There is a pop-up dialog box with a dropdown with choices, one of which is "This Thread". That is the only place I've seen to limit a search to the current thread.

In three browsers on an Android tablet, in portrait orientation, there is no text box on the top line of the page. There is a magnifying glass. Tap the glass, the top line gets rewritten to <"X"><text box><gear wheel>. Tap the text box, the keyboard opens, but no dialog box. Tap the gear wheel, nothing happens.

When I say I can't select "This Thread", I don't mean it shows the option in a dropdown but doesn't recognize my tapping on it. I don't mean I see the collapsed dropdown, but can't get it to open. I mean I do not get the dialog box, so I do not see any way to limit the search to a single thread.

I do not recognize the reference to "weird fullscreen keyboard crap".

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A, Android 9. My "keyboard" is the pop-up, on-screen, touch keyboard that came with the system, so maybe Samsung, maybe Google. The keyboard is the full "width" of the screen, and half the "height".
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
Search Workaround 2:

hold tablet in landscape orientation

tap Search text box to open dialog box

select "This thread"

use "Edit", or "Reply", or just scroll down to the Reply box at the bottom of the page

tap in text area to open keyboard

tap in Search text box to change focus

type search string

hit enter

Guess with the new xda I can respond with "tits" to this ad that's displayed.
[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
@svetius @bitpushr

Something seems broken with uploading shell scripts. Old xda used to allow them as long as they were renamed from .sh (I usually did .sh.txt), but XenForo xda seems to somehow still recognize them as shell (even with no ".sh" in the filename at all) and rejects them.

This is a developer forum, with shell scripts being a big part of Android hacking and modifications, can whatever shell script detect-and-reject function XenForo has be disabled? I just lost 3 scripts from my Odds thread attachments trying to upload new versions of them... 😒

[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
I think (1) is actually fixed, technically. I believe the remaining OP editing issues are actually the CAPTCHA issue listed at (16), and not related to it being former DevDB anymore.
[About XDA developers] curiousrom:
But your # 16 does not mention editing OP's. I don't have any problems posting & editing other posts in threads using the WYSIWYG editor.
[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
It doesn't need to, it mentions posts, and OPs are posts.... the CAPTCHA issue affects OPs and regular posts alike, my AIK Build Farm post in the middle of my Odds thread for example. While OPs may be more affected, it's a broader issue than just OPs, so it's worded that way for a reason.
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
Can I disable the preview tooltip that pops up when I mouse over a link to a thread or forum?

In a browser, on a desktop computer, if I hesitate while moving the pointer to a link, the link I hesitate near pops up a tooltip showing the first lines of the page. This isn't so bad when I know that the link I want is in the direction of the nearest edge of the tooltip: I can move the mouse in that direction, and get to the link I want. If the link I want is in the other direction, but not far enough in that direction, then I am blocked: The link I want is hidden, and the tooltip will *not* go away until I get past the tooltip.

[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
In a browser on a tablet, you probably won't be able to get the width toggle; if you get it, it will probably refuse to work.

I've been holding my tablet in portrait mode. It makes the useful part of the display a little wider.

I left the XDA Preferences text size at "medium", my browser text size at "larger" (one step above "normal"), and the Android Settings text size at 2 of 7 (it's a slider with no numbers, but it has six hack marks).
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
Anyone having the edit issue on the first post of DevDB threads. A short-term fix is that disabling the WYSIWYG editor should fix it. But... can anyone check Chrome's developer console to let me know what the error message they are receiving?

I really hope that no matter how the poll turns out, you will still always provide the option to turn off dark mode theme pages. Please consider people that get annoyed by seeing a ghost image of lines burned in the eyes for a while after looking away from the screen. This is why 99.999% of websites don't force everyone to view dark mode themed pages. Many people don't know about the poll to vote or may not be logged in.
