I was forced to install xda forum app because of not working tapatalk app. I see new posts in my watched threads and when i click on them it jumps not to that first new post but on first page of that thread so how to change this stupid behavoir? There is no search in thread function anymore?
[About XDA developers] jhedfors:
Hopefully we will get the updated app soon. That is probably the #1 requested item. I understand not delivering everything with the initial release, but that should have been non-negotiable.🤨

As a fallback (or primary), the mobile web version is pretty usable, and has the ability to search the thread.

@IronTechmonkey In Naked Browser, are you able to Search This Thread?

In landscape mode, does the keyboard stay open, so you can type a search string?

In portrait mode, does the gear wheel open the dialog box, so you can change Everywhere to This Thread?
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
Yes, yes, and yes, with some quirkiness depending on which keyboard and most likely also impacted by device display properties and system font size settings.

Moto G7 Power stock (large-ish display with moderate resolution) with system fonts set to Large. Hacker's keyboard disappeared once but came back then persisted, gboard worked fine, SwiftKey obscured the whole web page but that's not uncommon on my devices. In all cases there was proper functionality. That being said I have seen an instance or two where the keyboard persistently disappeared. That was probably on a different device and I forget whether that was in a browser or the app but if that happens again I'll try to capture some details.

[About XDA developers] jhedfors:
On the mobile web app, the title font sizes are not consistent, and make it difficult to tell if is an unread post (if it is bolded, or just a larger font size).

The app does not appear to have this inconsistency. It would be great if it was easier to see what is read vs. unread.

[About XDA developers] woodman:
My guess is that the usual mod edit mention was not shown at the bottom of the post because the moderator in charge probably used a special feature allowing to edit a post silently. This feature should NOT be used by moderators because we absolutely do not want to edit someone else's post without any notice or without letting people know of any moderator actions. If it was done this way, it is probably a mistake, the moderator team is still learning the new platform. 😊
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
I found this in a thread

Android web app keyboard will not stay open

(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47702180/android-web-app-keyboard-will-not-stay-open) on Stack Overflow:

Could this explain why, when I tap in the Search text box while holding my tablet in landscape orientation, the keyboard will not stay open?
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
I wanted that link to have the title of the Stack Overflow thread. On the old web site, when I used one of the magic buttons to inject something into a post, it injected markup that I could edit. In particular, if I injected a link, it made it clear how the link title and URL were specified.

On the new web site, the magic button shows a dialog box, but the dialog box will not stay open while I dance between tabs trying to collect all the pieces I need. When I just fill in the "text", it refuses to inject anything. When I just fill in the URL, it injects the link, but does not show me how to add a title. Right after I injected the link, it showed me some symbols, one of which I took to be an invitation to edit the link markup. Unfortunately, that offer expired when I switched tabs to copy the thread title.

Yes, I should have filled something into the text field. Then I probably would have been able to replace it.

[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
@bitpushr @svetius @the_scotsman @woodman

I've got threads/posts where disabling the WYSIWYG editor isn't sufficient to work around it, and/or used to work but now it doesn't.

For example my Complete Shell Script Flashable Zip Documentation thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/dev-templat...hable-zip-replacement-signing-script.2934449/

Any attempt to edit that OP now causes these 2 errors in the Chrome console: https://pastebin.com/Vh2Lmk40

Still pretty clearly looks CAPTCHA related, where the DevDB relation is only that DevDB OPs triggered CAPTCHA challenges more for some reason. And even though disabling the WYSIWYG editor did work for this OP at one point since the migration, now it seems to trigger the CAPTCHA challenge all the time.

And for an example of a post that also triggers it all the time which is not an OP: https://xdaforums.com/t/tools-zips-...vices-platforms.2239421/page-14#post-54510825

So the triggers might be more related to sheer length of post and/or the number of times it's been edited over time, but really that's just why CAPTCHA triggers, and not the reason the CAPTCHA is broken. Fix or disable the CAPTCHA display and everything should work again.

Also worth noting I tried to include the console errors directly into this post using [code][/code] and that also triggered an Oops error... XenForo xda still has some ways to go... 🤦‍♂️
[About XDA developers] curiousrom:
Not a fix but a clumsy workaround that works on Windows 10 & Edge.

Edit an other post and switch to BB code with the cog then do something minor like adding a . or something & Save. Edit again and undo the change but keep the BB code mode & save, then edit the OP or problematic post in BB code mode.

Choice of colours is poor for those of us that are colour blind.

I am not that happy with the choice of fonts.

Several features do not work if you use an ad blocker. ONE OF THE THINGS I FOUND MOST DISTURBING is that some the sites that my ad-blocker was intercepting while using this app were tracking sites. What info is being transferred.

Why is the first item on the menu "Hauwei | XDA" what is the relationship XDA and Huawei. If I click on the above item I wind up on a site peddling Huawei.

NOT a happy camper.

XDA's main source of revenue is ads.

[About XDA developers] i5lee8bit:
So, I waited a bit for the dust to settle, so that

a) to first see if it fixes itself, and

b) to try to not come across as whiny

And this is the first time I searched about this, at least since shortly after new XDA was released. I didn't realize til reading this that this was the issue. But I figured maybe it's now more appropriate to ask...

Will this ever be fixed? I happened to make a lot of contributions in literally that time period... Lots of it relating to YT Vanced, Galaxy Tab S6 Lite development, and my usual Pixel 4 XL contributions (and some HTC U12+ work). Again, I really don't wanna come across as whiny, but I lost anywhere from 120-150 from my thanks count after the migration. Given my relatively low post count (even with membership going way back to 2006), I'm not gonna lie that I enjoyed and took pride in my "ratio". But then I basically lost literally 1/4+ of my thanks meter, just like that. Is this something that is on the radar to be fixed, or is this just like, it is what it is? =(
[About XDA developers] Raiz:
Yep, I faced a significant decrease too (from 741 to 547 now), and I'm lucky because the wayback machine captured my account at that state just before the migration. (so at least I can prove I had that amount of thanks I had)

Why so many got lost? Because from June to rn, I was posting 2 post per day or more, so my ratio posts/thanks got messed up in the migration process. I regained some tho.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
My understanding/observation is that after the initial migration, some threads / posts were missing starting from end of August. The admins ran a restoration of them afterwards (partially or totally, I don't know if it's over now) but the thanks linked to those restored posts haven't been "attached" for some reason.

Anyways the admins are aware of this and a fix was planned weeks ago but that was not the priority #1 at that time. I bumped this issue minutes ago. Let's wait and see and be patient 😊
[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
Oh wow, good idea. I lost around 1000 apparently. 😶

https://web.archive.org/web/20201128162253/https://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=4544860

Glad to hear it's being worked on!
[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
Hey did these just get (mostly) fixed?! 😯
[About XDA developers] woodman:
Nope, not fixed yet.
[About XDA developers] i5lee8bit:
Not sure what happened, but it looks like my thanks count just shot up. I don't think all the way quite yet, but certainly significantly. Maybe that's also what osm0sis saw? (though I'm not 100% sure, but seeing his archived page vs. current, the ~1000 gap certainly seems lower as of this moment, but then again I know I'm not accounting for the entire month+ of new accumulation).

Anyway, just wanna thank whoever is responsible. Woodman? A staff member? The entire XDA team (maybe, like speculated before, it'll just eventually get fixed as work continues on the site/migration)? Unsung heroes? Healthcare workers? God? 😁

And @Raiz, good idea on using Wayback Machine too! I thought of it but didn't feel like finding the old url path to our profiles, lol. Thanks for that suggestion.

Thanks to everyone at XDA, especially the staff working on this. A lot of things about new XDA annoy the crap out of me, but of course there will be adjusting, as well as necessity. And as a sys admin, I can certainly relate! This was my main reason for not wanting to come across as "whiny", lol - I deal with plenty of that at work! 😑
[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
Yeah I had just noticed mine shoot back up a fair amount, so not sure what's going on there, but perhaps progress. 🤞
[About XDA developers] woodman:
If something got fixed today, I'm not aware of anything and it did not affect my thanks count at all on my side. I am actually still missing around 3500 or even 4000, just like right after the initial migration.
[About XDA developers] Raiz:

I'd sure not complain if more often new fixes/changes/news are announced in this thread.

- people would not remain with the impression that not enough work/advancement has been done on XDA 2021. I'm sure it's quite the opposite.

@bitpushr @svetius @the_scotsman @woodman

Okay, poked at my troublesome posts some more to try and figure out more about it, and XenForo XDA is super weird/broken, you guys. :(

All this is with the WYSIWYG editor disabled.

I found if I shortened my post dramatically by removing all the [code][/code] blocks then it would save without error, so then I started adding the script back in chunks to see when it started sh*tting the bed, and turns out the post will Oops and refuse to save if any line after "# read_file(filename)" in my Complete Shell OP contains ). Yes, specifically a close bracket. I even went on to add every other line back but removed all the remaining ) - breaking my scripts currently - and it would still save unless I attempted to add any of those ) back. Also as long as it's on any line "# read_file(filename)" or before it can apparently contain as many ) as desired. 🤔

And then mind-bogglingly, something similar (but different) is happening with my AIK Build Farm post, but it's not the ) character, it's the letter c, and specifically starting with the lines "cd src;" in the xz() function, which is totally crazy. No line after that can contain the c in "src" or it won't save, i.e. I can get it to save if I shorten them to "sr", even with other characters after it like "sr;" or "xz*/sr file*/sr". o_O

I'm sort of at a loss for what to do here, hoping the engineers can figure this one out since I've had to ruin a couple of my more important posts to find out just how crazy broken this sh*t is...
[About XDA developers] i5lee8bit:
I certainly wouldn't complain either, and I think that certainly couldn't hurt. But I'm sure the majority of people aren't keeping up with this thread regularly (pointing the finger at myself).

However, after snooping around this thread a bunch in the last 24 hours and becoming more familiar with it, I think the next best thing would be to keep your eye out on posts #2 and #3 from @osm0sis. I don't expect them to track and keep it 100% up to date, but it is good to know and see a list of some of the more outstanding issues they're working on (and recognize as issues), and know they're fixed as he strikethrough's the text.

But yeah, probably wouldn't hurt to post "changelog" type stuff in this thread, or perhaps create a new thread for that (if they haven't already, I dunno and haven't checked tbh... :censored:)
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
Can you make a new post whose content is exactly one of the uneditable old posts?

When you couldn't have the "c" of "src", could you have other "c"s? Could you have "xsrc"?
[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
I couldn't have "xz*/src" and had to put "xz*/sr" to get it to save. I'm guessing no on a new post since I triggered something similar when I tried to include the full Chrome console output in my post before that.

Edit: Just tried and xsrc didn't work. Again, I'm thinking these are still just what's triggering the captcha challenge for whatever reason, so maybe more of a symptom than the actual problem.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
It has an actual effect on my pride/self-esteem :D

I understand people are proud of their thanks count (myself included), it is a reflexion of our hard work and free time spent on xda for xda.
