Great Transformation of XDA. Congratulations !!
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
We've been a development site (not a ROM site) since the forum's inception in 2002. DevDB was introduced around 2013. While DevDB has been a really helpful feature for developers, it absolutely isn't a necessity for ROMs to be posted on the site. We managed just fine for many many years without it.

I can't speak for the owners, so I won't say any more than that. I do know the decision wasn't an easy one. It was a custom designed system for the previous forum platform, and not able to be transferred across to XenForo.

Reply form works incorrectly. When you press "Post reply" and a delay in server response happens there is not enough indication that request is still being sent.

It should block the button and maybe disable the input field with background color change, because a lot of users click second time and create double posts.

Did SIGPIC offer different functionality to IMG tags? I just swapped mine with IMG tags and it is working fine now.
[About XDA developers] phazei:
Where's the search thread/post option? It used to be right next to the pagination for the post. I used that feature a LOT, and it greatly helps prevent duplicate questions. Especially when there's 100+ pages of thread. I'd check if someone asked previously in the thread, but I can't...

Also, what about number of posts per page? In the old forum I believe I had it set to 100, now it's fixed at 20 :( So there's 5 times more pages to go through now

EDIT:

used this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=sit...rums.com/t/welcome-to-xda-2021.4197018+search

To search this thread and found the answer in the top search box. Not ideal though. Also, additional issues with results. There's no option to sort them by date. Usually if searching a really long thread for something, by date newest to oldest is my preferred choice. But there's no way to choose that and a specific thread to search. Also, if you want to search for another word from the same thread, you can't even edit the search term from the results page, you need to go back to the thread again.

HA, wow, that was fast! Thank you all :) I'll put my edit from that post here then:

I actually figured it out using google search by thread(url):

site:https://xdaforums.com/t/welcome-to-xda-2021.4197018 search - Google Search

To search this thread and found the answer is using the top search box, that's not really ideal though. Maybe that's because I'm used to the other way, but it didn't feel intuitive.

Also, additional issues with the forum search results. There's no option to sort them by date, at least not on the results page only from the advanced page where you can't choose the thread. Usually if searching a really long thread for something, by date newest to oldest is my preferred choice; but there's no way to choose that and a specific thread to search. Also, if you want to search for another word from the same thread, you can't even edit the search term from the results page, you need to go back to the thread to search again since the search box at the top of the page doesn't have the context of where you searched on the results page.

I'll often search for similar words in a thread in quick succession to see if there are related posts with different phrasings, like "sound" "audio" "volume" etc. the new update makes that quite a number of clicks to do

@sd_shadow

that "posts per page" link you posted did touch on the default number of posts per page being increased from 10 to 20, but in the old forum I could change the maximum posts per page in preferences to 100, which made things much easier to grok
[About XDA developers] synesthete:
Yeah I don't think I ever saw the SIGPIC tag on any other forums that I've ever used. To create a signature image that is hyperlinked/clickable, you can nest it in a URL tag like so:

[URL=https://xdaforums.com/][IMG]https://host/image.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
[About XDA developers] Mikanoshi:
You used it in old XDA, it's a bbcode that only worked in signatures there and was used for images uploaded specifically for signatures.

Same as [ ATTACH ][ /ATTACH ] in posts.
[About XDA developers] synesthete:
Yeah I had used it for my signature on the old XDA forums (I meant forums other than XDA), but didn't remember if the IMG tag was disabled in the old signatures or why I had used that in the first place. So SIGPIC was specifically for signature pictures that were hosted on the XDA forums, rather than externally hosted images, right?

[About XDA developers] *Detection*:
Would it be possible to resize images to a more reasonable size when people post full sized photos and screenshots that take over the entire screen / thread?

Maybe have them a set size which can be clicked to view full size?

[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
This seems to be correct size on my screen. I believe there is actually resizing that ensures images are no bigger than thread text width.
[About XDA developers] *Detection*:
Thanks yea it is no wider than the text width, it's just huge and takes forever to scroll down past it to the next post, especially if someone posts a few images at once, I was thinking it would be better if it was set to say 2-3x thumbnail size which opens in full size when clicked?

Sort the devices from newer to oldest, newer on top and oldest in the bottom

Now forums are sorted by brands, thats fine but inside the subforum's brand the devices are mixed

Inserted Images Too Big?

In this post the image created by the Youtube link does not take the full width of the post when viewed in a PC browser or in Chrome for Android in landscape mode while in *Detection*'s example they are.

It would be nicer if all inserted images would be like that Youtube's relative width IMO.

[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
In a browser, on a tablet

I cannot search while holding the tablet in landscape mode: the keyboard will not stay open.

There is different code in the two orientations. In landscape, the XDA header is pinned to the top of the screen. In portrait, the header is not pinned, and tapping the magnifying glass causes the top of the screen to be rewritten with a search box. Until this happens, there is no text box in which to click.

Now I can't even search with the tablet in portrait orientation: there is no text box until I click the magnifying glass. Then I get a new "top of screen" line, "X" on the left, gear wheel on the right, text box in between. Clicking the gear wheel no longer opens that intermediate dialog where I can select "This thread".

In landscape orientation I can get the intermediate dialog and select "This thread", but the keyboard will not stay open, so I can't type a search string. I can use the "Advanced" button, but then there is no way to select "This thread".

I think I am able to use Search in a desktop browser. Right now, I cannot Search on a tablet.

Please provide a less sophisticated interface to the Search function. One that doesn't change with every change in my environment. If possible, one that makes it easy to change the search terms and re-search.

[/QUOTE]
[About XDA developers] shaggyskunk:
Search function does not seem to work / be available while looking at a Thread.

It would be great to have something that takes you to the latest post in a Thread - Instead of opening at the OP & then have to select the last page & then having to Scroll down to the bottom.

Also the date visible on the far right shows when the Thread was created - Wouldn't it be more useful to see the Date of the latest Post?

I'm sure that more suggestions will pop up - But these are what comes to mind at the moment.

Thanks for the update BTW.
[About XDA developers] Wolfcity:
Support that.

Reaching the latest post is one of my most needed features.

It would also be helpful when tapping back button (of the device)/arrow upper left (of the app) won't take you completely out of the thread.

If you are using the app, you should post in the app thread.

In a browser, when it works, there is a magnifying glass in the topmost, sometimes frozen, menu-ish bar. Click the glass, you get a dialog box. Click where it says "Everywhere", you get a dropdown where you can select "This Thread". Fill in the topmost text box with a search string. Click the Search button.

You can also click the Advanced button in the dialog box. There are "tabs", one of which is "Threads". I'm not sure what the difference is between Forums and Threads. At any rate, this does *not* give the option of searching within the current thread. Or any thread, as far as I can tell.

I see for quite some time now that the same things are reported again and again. And lately there are not much comments from the admins plus there aren't any new fixes.

It almost becomes pointless to visit this thread.

- going to the last post.

- making the fonts of unread threads distinguishable from the read threads, as it is hard to tell them apart.

- the use of back button is not intuitive viewing attachments.

- the search (in thread) is not intuitive and every once in a while someone asks again about it.

The list in post #15 has been there for a while now too.

Initially fixes came through in waves. Productive and decisive actions were done very quickly.

Not recently though.

Could it be so hard to fix these already?
[About XDA developers] shaggyskunk:
Yeah there's some issues with the XDA app - But afaik no one is getting paid for their time to develop this & it's been a substantial change in the backend of XDA.

Yes I know that the Devs behind XDA are the best of the best - But I suspect that the Dev(s) responsible for the app are doing this on their free time.. That's not to say that helpful criticism isn't welcome.

[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
My problem is that some inserts are not recognized by my browser as links or images, so I do not have the option of opening in a new tab. It may be caused by a particular insert mechanism.

I agree: If clicking something causes something to be shoved in my face, clicking BACK should undo that, and leave me on the page where I originally clicked something.

My first choice is to eliminate the sophisticated insert/attachment display mechanism. Just show me a link, let me decide whether I want to see it in a new tab.

My second choice is open a new tab for the elegant display. Then the BACK button should work the way I expect it to.

In portrait mode, keyboard stays open so I can type in text box. I cannot use gear wheel to open dialog box.

On search results page, tapping in Search text box opens keyboard.
