Unfortunatelly, clicking that hamburger thing doesn't do anything on my end, so not a solution for me and that doesn't get rid of the right panel either.

I don't have those 4K quad wide screens people that did this forum layout are using. I don't have space to spare.
[About XDA developers] shaggyskunk:
It stopped working for me as well - But clearing cache & data resolved the issue.
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
I had never used the hamburger thing. I thought I had read that tapping it opened a menu, and somewhere in that menu was a choice about displaying the left panel. When I tapped it last night, instead of opening a menu it just made the left panel disappear.

See if you can fiddle your browser settings: Instead of "scale content so whole page is displayed", try to find settings so you only see what fits in the window, and you have to use the horizontal scroll bar to see more. Then, most of your window will be useful.

Also, check into Toggle Screen Width setting -- it's a forum setting that (slightly) increases how much of the window is used for the forum posts.

* The search function should default to "this thread" and not "Everywhere"

Had this recently too. Clearing cache doesn't restore; need to clear data 🙁.

Lose dark mode randomly (several times) in App too... PW
[About XDA developers] ipdev:
It is on the list.

Nice-to-Haves/Requests: Post # 3 - Link

# 14. Make the forum search default to in-thread.

The search function should actually be changed to default to the area you are in.

Most of the time, a user will be in the area they want to search.

- If you are in a specific thread, Search should default to This thread.

- If you are if a specific forum, Search should default to This forum.

- Same with Everywhere, Threads, Forums and devices.

This way, it becomes an option to expand the search area if needed.

Not a required step when searching inside a forum, thread, ...

Cheers all. :cowboy:

But "approved" does not necessarily mean it is an official list and everything will be fixed and implemented. These are more like a bug report and a feature request lists filled thanks to all of us, xda users.

XF devs should be able to pick things from there depending on priorities and xda owners' will.

I agree there would be no point, so that means things will happen but here again we just need to be patient.

That won't be the final version and I can assure you this 100%. We just don't know the pace of updates. It's a big machine to take care of.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
Yes, Oswald is right ^, the title there is added on top as part of the post itself. Just an illusion
[About XDA developers] Oswald Boelcke:
And maybe we shouldn't forget that post titles were only visible in the desktop vBulletin browser version but never in a mobile application like XDA Labs. For this reason, XDA users who knew this always added their post title to their actual post content, quite often in bold chars as I did above. Personally, I don't recognise any added value if post titles were possible under XenForo.
[About XDA developers] curiousrom:
Missing Post Title Workaround

Lol, I never dreamed that my XDA XenForo's missing post title feature workaround would get so much press coverage.

I do it because it attracts the attention to the post & also for usability because having it makes skimming the thread faster as you can overlook a post on a subject that does not interest you instead of reading more of it in regular font size.

And vice versa if you are indeed interested in the subject. 🤪

[About XDA developers] DiamondJohn:
Toooooo many people to quote. I am surprised how many posts/responses that question generated.

The thing that really brought it too my attention was the explicit "Search Titles Only" in the search drop down. Clearly from the above posts, I am not missing anything and titles are only for threads. It was a case that I could not believe the option had its own checkbox, for such a minor feature ie thread title not posts which are 000's of times more common.

In the old forum, I had a habbit of using/abusing post titles, but tried to remember that I think the XDA phone app didn't display the title., so posts would appear to be missing their context.

And further thoughts on this topic, makes me wonder what happened in the conversion from the old forum, to the old post titles?
[About XDA developers] DiamondJohn:
When viewing a post with a loooong quote, the desktop interface limits the quote size, and has a "Click to expand" hot-spot at the bottom of the limited quote.

Is there any place to click to shrink it again? ie undo the expand?
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
From my little Googling, Xenforo *does* have titles for posts. They are enabled for a thread by the owner / moderator. Maybe the owner / moderator has to first be empowered by a sysadmin.

Post Titles From Old XDA & Lost Thanks

As you can see in the old right sidebar Most Thanked/Thread Search widget screenshot, the post's title was in bold in the snippet & that's was one of the reasons why I used them.

I happen to often save a copy of the posts I make in a .txt doc and I know that for this post my title was "Bug Squashing: Display accepts touch input while off" while the body of the post started with "Good news, in the Display accepts touch..."

As you can see in the link above, the old post's title got merged with the post in the new XDA XenForo & it is automatically bolded.

You can also see that the post had 8 Thanks in the widget and it got lost with the migration and now that post shows zero Likes. 😭

In fact all the old Thanks in that thread for all users & all posts got lost with the migration. :eek:

I really miss that widget & hope that @bitpushr still has it on his to-do list. 🙏

[About XDA developers] DiamondJohn:
Thanks for having an example showing the titles were not lost on migration. (y)

Another "out of interest" thing now is, if your individual thanks were lost, did you by any chance see a drop in your total thank count on migration, since the source of the thanks were lost?
[About XDA developers] sronweb:
I understand the need to migrate to newer platform (from vBulletin) but I hope that the forum administrators and developers will consider to allow access to XDA forum via some forum aggregator (as it was before with Tapatalk). I don't see reason to install an app for each forum I follow, sorry for me it's a non-sense. I follow several forums on internet and if each forum decide to have own app, would be more fragmentation and difficult to follow. At the moment I just read via a web browser via mobile (Firefox). I hope for a more efficient solution. Is there any aggregator for XenForo? Thanks

after you find one file you will get a link like this.

remove the file name and this is the folder with all files from that project

[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
Unfortunately at this point if any attachments are gone there isn't any way for us to regain them unless they were somehow copied from the old servers and just not attached to thread. I'm not aware of any 'wide spread' missing attachments issues, but I think in theory there could be some missing especially if they met certain criteria during the migration. Which criteria, I'm not sure.

Best thing at this point is to re-upload them and hopefully they can be recovered in some other location.

[About XDA developers] Philnicolls89:
Sorry if this has already been answered but I am having an issue.

There is no search thread option using using the app which is ok because the website has that function so it's easy enough to do.

However recently my mobile browser, specifically the keyboard plays up when I try to use the search option. The keyboard will flash for a second or two and then disappear and I am unable to type anything, therefore unable to search threads or forums.

This doesn't happen if I use my laptop only when I use mobile browser.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is it a bug, or a problem with my browser, or phones keyboard??
[About XDA developers] evnStevn:
You might wanna try clearing the app cache and data, and if that doesn't work uninstall then reinstall the XDA app(except delete the one in your app drawer/app library) and snag it from Google play, as if for the first time. I haven't had this specific issue you describe but other "tics" with the app as well as some others and this housekeeping task (of sorts) seemed to nip it in the bud!! Good Luck, let us know if it helped?🤓
[About XDA developers] Philnicolls89:
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in my description of the problem. My issue is with the website using a mobile browser not the app.

My problem is using the search thread feature which doesn't exist in the app.

When I click on the search box my keyboard flashes then disappears not allowing me to type anything.

This doesn't happen when using the website with a computer, only with my phones Chrome browser.
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
This suggestion may sound odd but, if you block any cookies or scripts in the browser try a test with those blocks disabled. Reasons being: In the previous web interface some components of the site, such as drop down arrows & text fields did not always work properly when certain scripts (cloudflare) were blocked or after they were changed. This may not be likely in your case but it is a fairly easy thing to test (in addition to testing alternate browsers for comparison).
[About XDA developers] Oswald Boelcke:
I'm unable to reproduce the issue. The keyboard opens and stays open without issues in my mobile browser. Maybe it's not related to the forum but to your browser and/or keyboard?

[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
I have had trouble with search in browser on tablet since change to Xenforo. Naked Browser, Samsung Internet, Chrome -- all have problem.

I am convinced the problem is that the site customizes content for the requesting browser/device, and doesn't quite get it right.

In landscape orientation, tapping the search box blinks the keyboard, but the keyboard will not stay open. In portrait orientation, some completely different code rewrites the top line of the page, so I can't open the search options, so I can't select This Thread.

Two workarounds:

1. In landscape orientation, select This Thread. Rotate tablet to portrait orientation. Enter search string. (Or the other way around.)

2. In landscape orientation, find another text input field on the page (I use the reply box at the bottom), tap in it to open the keyboard, then tap in the search string input field and use the already open keyboard.

[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
Now that you mention it... what I've experienced as "jumpy edit boxes and pagination" has also included some instances where the keyboard did not persist when it should.

[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
In Preferences, you choose when to receive e-mail. I think you're stuck with getting the same notice for all threads for which e-mail notification is enabled; i.e., you cannot get e-mail for every post to one thread, and only when you are quoted in another thread.

Don't bother. It's not possible and was reported many times without notice by the site management.

I tried the feature today but couldn't get it working exactly the way I want it to.

Basically I want a separate notification system for thread subscription and post quote / user mention; and I just want an email to be sent when I am mentioned or my post got quoted (not necessarily in the same thread I'm subscribed to), NOT everytime a post got posted in a thread I subscribed to (I just keep it to the Alert system).

What I got working was I got emails BOTH when a new post is posted in the thread I subscribed or my post got quoted in the thread I subscribed.
