Missing thread? - General Questions and Answers

I had a conversation with linuxmotion and another member about where default home settings are stored about a year ago. It was a very insightful conversation and I went to reference it the other day and it could not be found. I can't find it in dinc topic (searched way back) or my participated topics. Anyone know why it would be removed or where it could've went? I can't even remember subject name anymore.
Edit. Subject could have been default workspace

Ringtones

There was a thread on ringtones and I can't find it, yes I've tried searching but get hundreds of threads back and can't see it. Can someone post the link? Thanks.
lol maybe it would be best if you told what the thread was about
because sure there have been tons of ringtones threads
some about how to get them playing
some about how to put them on the SD card
some which included new tones
........
so given the info about the thread you give i can not narrow it down any more then the search function does
Apologies, my fault. The one that had ringtines included.
Thank you.
bump
bump, come on someone must be able to find it. One of them was the Kill bill whistle. I really want that tone!
Searched on ringtone kill bill, "Search for All Terms" - only hit:

Perfect. Wasn't coming up for me. Thanks.
On a similar tpoic - I'm looking for a topic about a software that will allow a Blue Angel (or similar) to have different ringtones for different callers (like every Nokia will do) - something the phone doesn't do as standard - any ideas????
I'm sure I saw the thread today - but can't remember any specific wording I can search on!!
Riceburner, search for mortring. lets you assign ringtones and sms tones per caller or group.

a request for recent post feature

To XDA Forum Mods and Developers.
Now, excuse me if this was asked and answered - could not find it anywhere.
Let me exporess MHO: a feature of this forum which would store and bring up the links of last, lets say 10 (preferrably customizable ) posts would be a great addition and time saver. Now if one wants to find his posts (to see if they were answered for instance) he has to go to quick links -> your profile -> statistics -> Find all posts by ***** (and sometimes the search feature is not working so the site asks you to try in 10 minutes...). And here you go.
Considering that many of us (my opinion again) would start our XDA day by checking the responses a direct link to this feature (in the same quick links) would be much appreciated.
If such a shortcut exists i would apologize and ask this thread to be deleted.
If it is the only way and everyone does this steps - see above.
If it is hell of a hard thing to do and there were no request before and you don't think it is something important - see above..
If this was answered (that picky google... ) - see above...
Thanks in advance
P.S. taking the chance - thanks you for this forum (though since i got my HD2 I am ugly addicted to it, and my work suffers.. )
Use the forum subscription feature in your usercp. It has more features, and lets you watch a thread for new posts. Click usercp up above and take a look
yeah, i know this feature. And i do subscribe for threads. But only the most important for me. If i subscribed for any thread i posted something in i would have some 50 subscriptions- not that easy list to browse through... And some posts are really not a life-time-follow-through (i know i can delete subscriptions, but to subscribe, to follow, and then delete - that is even more steps (everyday!) - and hence mess - then "search your own posts" option, with earlier-mentioned drawbacks)... Also it does sort the subscribed threads according to the last post date/time. Which is a mess because one would need to browse through HIS recent posts, not the others...
There is a "Track messages" button in userCP. I meant something like "Track posts" options would be great!
Thanks for a reply though.

XDA notifications?

Is there anyway I can get notifications like we get for PMs but when somebody replies to your post in a thread? Some threads are huge and I can't find where I posted my question, comment, concern, and can't find who replied and what they said?! Is there a feature I just can't find or does that just not exist? Please PM me with the answer, because I at least get a notification that I got a reply then. Thanks!
From what I can see there is nothing like that available on XDA (I couldn't be wrong, but I don't think so). You can however use the subscription feature that is built into vBulletin. Go to User CP > Edit Options > Subscriptions and change it from None to one of the options. That will then add a thread to your subscription list and show you when new posts have been made in that thread.
I have mine set to No Email which just adds the thread to your subscriptions list, I can't be bothered with the emails it sends you.
I'm thinking this is the closest feature you'll find to what you're wanting.

As far as I know, that's the best you can get with the software this forum is using.
Unless you mark threads as read, the "View first unread" feature (either visible in the thread, or the ">" icon next to thread titles in the forum view) will take you to the first reply after your post, and the emails/notifications links should take you to the first unread post in a thread.

questions about the forum

I don't know if this thread is in the right section; if necessary plz move it. I have some questions about the forum; is there a link to quickly access all new replies to my posts/threads?(this exists in several forums) or access all my posts in general. Maybe there's already one but can't find it.. maybe put it at top right, right to "private messages"

In your usercp is an option for subscriptions. Subscribe to threads when you reply (option is in settings to auto subscribe)
Choose no email subscription unless you want email notifications, and then go to usercp to see the subscribed threads.
i already done that but a quick link to all new replies to my posts would have been better imo
Go into your profile, then statistics. There will be "find all posts by *username*" and "find all threads started by *username*". That should give you an easy way to navigate around what you've posted.
lol yeah i know too.. i just wanted to know if there were quicker shortcuts. Anyway thx for all ur help.

[Q] Off topic but don't want to have another lost thread in some other forum...

I always thought the foums here at XDA were little counter-intuitive at times as far as navigation, but it never really mattered that much.... However, now I am stuck and cannot seem to do something rather simple... I dunno maybe I am tired.... but I thought I would ask so this doesn't become an obstacle.
I am trying to find all of my posts in this forum (HTC One-S). I didn't see an option, so I went to one of the sub-forums (like this one: One S General). Under advanced search, I entered my username in the correct place ("Find posts by..."). The result is 40 or so threads...but each thread has anywhere from 8 to 95 pages. I appreciate the helpful information to the left of each thread stating "you have X posts in this thread".... but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to bring up those posts.
[Also, I now see the widget icon next to Search All Forums on the Main Forum page... maybe I can search individual forums though that.]
But can someone tell me how to do a search which results in a page of only my posts????
Thanks in advance...!
On the advanced search page there is an option that lets you "show results as posts". It will show individual posts instead of threads.
Edit: nevermind they seem to have drastically simplified the advanced search and removed a lot of options. Try going to your profile page and the "Statistics" tab, then click "find all posts by syntropic".
Scroll to the top of the XDA Website where it says Welcome, "_______" <------ your name. Click on your name. Your profile should come up in the "About me" part of your profile. Scroll down toward the middle park of your profile and click on "Statistics". There should be a list that comes up. Click on "Find all posts by ______" (Your name)..
Thread Closed​
This is not the place to ask this! Just use the statistics tab in your profile, it will show you all of your posts with a marker on which forum they were posted. You could of even PMed one of the moderation team, we are here to help.​
