Good afternoon,

so I seem to be the first to report an issue: the ad banner at the bottom hides the watch/unwatch button.

Thanks.

[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
Yep can confirm. Typing in the Search bar slowly moves the page up in Chrome (Windows desktop) as though I'm pressing the up arrow or something, and then the search of this thread for the word "excellent" shows no results.
[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
Weird, I don't see that icon at all. The preview doesn't work for me or something. Will look into it.

Yeah seems like we need to kick off a re-index. I've done that and our search server is running a re-index.
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
It is almost impossible to tell which page is being displayed.

XDA Classic theme in browser (Naked Browser) on Android 9 tablet.

Before today, it was easy, so I'm going to guess that it used to mark the current page (in the list showing some page numbers at the top and bottom of the page) using inverse-video.

I tried the other themes. None uses inverse-video.

@osm0sis
[About XDA developers] Wolfcity:
I don't perceive the button in question as useless. Some taps less make it easier to search the thread, for me the most used search function, so it deserves a special button for me. Just my 2 cents.
[About XDA developers] theelderstatesman:
Ok, you have a different opinion. I accept that, but it's still "Search this thread" and not "Search

This

thread" ...
[About XDA developers] Wolfcity:
True.
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
+2 cents, in fact I wouldn't mind if the whole top bar was a "search this thread button"...

:D

... but I can still totally dig proper spelling and grammar, as well as the desire for alternate preferences. I think search this thread preference is popular because it's the thing most often forgotten and most often nagged about.
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
Moan, moan, whine whine (criticizing me and no one else here) but also an idea about the way original posts appear in this new voting group.

I don't understand what having original posts situated in such a manner achieves. As is, it does not drive traffic to the original post but rather causes people to become accustomed to scrolling past it faster and makes it harder for them to navigate the rest of the thread. Additionally it makes it very difficult for a thread host to jump around the thread harvesting answers etc.

What thread page am I on? I don't know, just the OP again!

At least they should be an expandable preview just a few lines long, and more optimally there should be a way to disable this, and the navigation buttons should be at the top.

[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
@IronTechmonkey Have we heard that the Post #1 replication is intended?
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
I think it's a reasonable abbreviation of "function Search: subfunction This thread".

I liked the dedicated text box for "Search this thread" on the old site. But it was a pain having to scroll to the top of the page to get to it.

What I would like to see is the ability to re-search, from the Search Results page, with my last Search already filled in, making it easier to refine my search. I am constantly being tricked into launching a useless search from the Search Results page.
[About XDA developers] theelderstatesman:
Thanks for answering ...
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
Wow this is tough. The grammar purism to which I previously referred meets hierarchical option selection purism. Stuck in the middle I agree with both but please not all caps. :D

As to the search feature, I prefer it at the top of the page to being some length of page scrolling down but that's another story.

+ 1 for making it reusable and refineable. I wonder if this has been mentioned in the new suggestion thread. If no one else does so I might in a day or two.
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
Not even small caps?
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
Well to me that reads as small capital letters which even though often used seems a contradiction in terms . Oh no grammar purism again. :) Usually I'll refer to them as as UPPERCASE, lowercase, Sentence case, and Title Case... but for some reason the term all caps sneaks in there.
[About XDA developers] DiamondJohn:
I too as a long time user do not wish nor need the OP in the top of every page, when I seek and read recent posts. Maybe if this feature is turned on only for people with a post count below some threshold.
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
SMALL CAPS *are* all uppercase.

camelCase and CamelCase.

For Title Case, Shirley you would need to specify whose Style Manual.

[About XDA developers] tiho5:
This is important, yes.

But how about getting also an email if mentioned or quoted. This is even more powerful, because it will get to someone who doesn't even use the XDA app or doesn't even visits the site. You can call him to a topic even years after he was on it.

Please, add it to the list, mate.

Anyone else have their Reaction Score off by like 1000 depending on where you look? In my profile it says 32525, but if you then go to my Reactions Received page, "All" shows 31530.. 🤔
[About XDA developers] IronTechmonkey:
Yes but differing by a much smaller amount. Profile: 10447. Reaction Received page (All): 10450. Could by conjecture point to a few suspects but none which would be consistent across the difference in raw #s and percentages of posts seemingly missing from the counts in these 2 examples.
[About XDA developers] Badger50:
Same here, but by the opposite effect that osmOsis had. This was likely due to the migration to the new platform. There were numerous reports of members losing many, formerly known as "Thanks Count", when we switched over. A glitch in "The Matrix" shall we say. :cool:
[About XDA developers] woodman:
I think they are not the same issues. The one described by osm0sis is not the same than the one described by Badger50.

The latter is due to the forum migration indeed, I personally lost around 4 500 thanks and never got them back.

But the issue described by osm0sis is a different one to me. The counting in my profile is 23691 and the one in the reaction recieved (all) is 23732. I can't explain this difference, maybe a XF glitch or a special rearranged score ? It is probably not due to the migration IMO but I could be wrong.

Didn't find anything about this in the thread so here's a request: can we possibly have anchor BBcode tags? Something along this lines:

[A NAME="jump2here"]&nbsp;[/A]

Also, is there any editor help? I reckon both would greatly help documentation threads...

[About XDA developers] DiamondJohn:
This comes under comments. I have been noticing when quickly scanning through post, if I wish to "like" something, I have to stop myself from accidentally pressing the "REPORT" button, as its physically placed right under the reported likes, while the actual like button is physically removed from the history of likes.

[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
The panel reserved for an ad at the bottom of the page (browser) keeps getting more annoying.

It was annoying when it first showed up. It's annoying that it is so coy about showing up, not just showing up, but waiting for me to scroll the screen before it becomes visible. The "X" to dismiss it waits one to 13 seconds before showing up. Sometimes the panel is wider than the screen, so I have to scroll left to expose the "X", to get the panel out of my face.

NOW the "X" is in its own little square, perched above the upper right corner of the panel, so I have to be careful to scroll the page so there is no button or link close to the "X", or I will be yanked somewhere I don't

want to go.

And just try to ignore it. See how far you get before it creeps up and blocks your view.
