ALL, there are now a couple of threads in place done very nicely to assistance, thanks to the RC @sd_shadow take some time to look for the answer there, and or assistance in navigating the App and XDA site.

Not here...

Every time I open a thread which I've already read, it takes me to page 1.

And I don't have "jump to new button" in this scenario.

Chrome on desktop win 10 pc.
[About XDA developers] shaggyskunk:
There seems to be an issue with un-posted posts getting stuck as not having been posted.

For example if I want to quote someone I get "message added to multi quote", because there's already a post that just fails to post?

Also is there no way for us to be able to delete one of our own posts?

Thanks 🕊️

Try changing theme (xda/classic/dark)

Then wait for new post - now open thread and on top there will be option for jump to new

I can confirm this. Started happening yesterday, I think.

Great to see a new way of xda. But i'm missing the news section. Was one of my favs beside the forum 🤙🏻

Or am I to dump to find it? 😅
[About XDA developers] curiousrom:
Are you getting that message when trying to edit your signature which has more than 2 @ the present?

I did not try it yet because have a bunch of links @ the present.

[About XDA developers] ace2nutzer:
Yes ! I was trying to edit 2 links because they changed since the new Forum Engine .... but it seems it's now limited to 2 Links ...

That's bad somehow .. i hope that restriction will be removed for recognized devs !

btw: you can try and see error message, nothing happens.
[About XDA developers] curiousrom:
@woodman & @T.C.Stockdale - Maybe you mod guys did not notice but there are several first posts by fake New Members in this thread posting banalities in a foreign language like Russian, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Chinese, etc.

On the minor side, but if you guys could map the old forum emojis to their closest modern unicode equivalents that would help a lot of the older content.

Fwiw, while reading a thread, vertical scrolling froze. Needed to exit completely and restart the app to restore scrolling.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
Yes we noticed that and other reported issues, we are doing our best... As you can imagine, there is currently a lot of work for us volunteers mods... The move to XF is a bit overwhelming for the team but I am convinced we will face this like warriors.
[About XDA developers] curiousrom:
And also for Recognized Contributors! ;)

Meanwhile as a workaround I guess one could create a post with his multiple links and link to that post in his signature.

Poor @osm0sis who has a big bunch of links in is signature @ the present. :eek:

[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
"multi-quote" is a clipboard. When you click "Quote", the post is appended to the multi-quote clipboard. When you eventually click "Reply", there will be an option "Insert quotes". That brings up a box with the copied quotes in a list. You can change the order, or remove some quotes. That display has a button/link to actually insert the quotes. At that point, you will be in a Reply box with the extra quotes. It seems to reset after each use, so you can't carry a flock of quotes to use more than once.
[About XDA developers] ace2nutzer:
Yes of course ... i think that restriction for 2 links in signature is probably meant only for new users ... i hope it get fixed soon @svetius
[About XDA developers] curiousrom:
Thanks for the explanations. 👍

If I may add: you can highlight part of different posts by different users & add them to the multi-quote clipboard by clicking Quote like this:

Then hit Reply & you get the Insert quotes option as seen here:
[About XDA developers] tiho5:
Where is this option? I can't find it.

You get the Insert quotes option when you hit Reply after hitting Quote 1 or several times like the screenshot above your post which I am re-posting here:

Agree 100%, Watched is useless. I used to live by usercp. You guys killed all the fun :(

Edit1: The New Posts in the right pane is pretty useless as well. It's showing new threads started in the entire forum and not for devices that I own/manage. Why would I care to read about those devices?

Edit2: The What's New, New Posts, Your News Feed and Latest Activity at the top are as well showing threads/posts from devices I'm not even remotely interested in nor following.

This does qualify as a strikeout right? Bring the old forums back please (I know you won't of course :()

Try this as a workaround: top navigation bar > What's new > New posts > Filters on the right side: I added: Watched + "Threads in which you've participated", then Save as default and as you can see in the attachment "New posts" tab shows new posts and "Threads below have not been updated since your last visit.".

[About XDA developers] cmrntnnr:
Change can be good, but first impressions are that the new XDA system is a step down.

Webpages are less informative.

There is less information displayed in the webpages.

It is harder to use.

For example, the front page of a phone forum now only shows the main categories. It used to display a set of active topics under each. This convenience has gone.

Member ratings are no longer displayed. Why, it did not take up much space.

Sure any of the above is still accessible, just with a lot more clicking involved.
[About XDA developers] Luuta:
Sadly, the app just goes around in circles, login to authorisation to login and so on. Tried logging in as guest. It takes me to website, let's me login there, return to the app and no luck. Still going around in circles.

Cr@p. I did not receive an alert for that mention but did receive one early today from an other user.

Which "circled screenshot"? Link? The one in the post above yours? https://xdaforums.com/t/welcome-to-xda-2021.4197018/post-84071711

But URL redirection is in Migrating a Forum 101, isn't? :unsure:

This is a SEO (Search engine optimization) and PR disaster. :eek:

Not mentioning the waste of time for thousands of confused users. 🤪

Checking with xdaforums.com in Free Backlink Checker by Ahrefs: Check Backlinks to Any Site returns 8 million backlinks @ the present.

That's not a joke if 10, 30 or 40 or 50% of them are broken.

And just in case your lack of notifications is actually dependent on who makes the mention, here is one from me. @osm0sis

And two more small complaints.

1. using the default theme, BOLD is not very prominent

2. When editing a post, no option to explain why

and another I have already mentioned.

3. When getting a notification from a reported post, its not a hyperlink to the post that you reported, so you have to search to find what has actually been done with the post/thread.

Hi there,

Nice looking UI, BUT: I'm at loss here.

I can't find my Suscribed and Participated threads. It looks to me that Participated has been replaced by Watched. Is this right?

The new app is difficut to navigated through. In particular, I'm missing:

- the Participated threads

- the XDA Labs or whatever is called the news feed section

- the App section, which follows my installed apps (some of which I installed directly from the XDA Lab app).

I also wonder how to batch unwatch watched forums?
