If you go at top,click your username!
Click threads started by you in Statistics!
Voila.... You get your thread!

Wondering the same thing here. Wanted to "search this forum". Guess they moved it to the app instead of copying it.
Wow, I thought I was loosing my mind...so others don't see it as well
It's a bug that admin are aware of and are looking into.

For specific threads just change the id number based on the url of the thread

Not a very good option for someone who is having problems with there phone/device. I'm glad I checked here I though I thought they had dissabled it for me because I was under the 10 post limit
Iether way it is still missing for me as well. I also noticed that the advanced search is not allowed for me either... I end up with the welcome new user you need 10 helpfull posts to use this feature page.
Did they up the restrictions for "new users"?
thats an excellent question. I salute you for being different and actually asking it, rather than ignoring it like most of us.
Worst case scenario :
Use the xda app on ur PC via android emulator
THANKS if helpful

Same result here. I'm unable to search by http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php or by clicking the wheel cog icon in the top header bar (Advanced Search). The regular search bar at the top just gives generic non forum results.
Can someone tell me how one normally limits a search to a specific forum? Should that be an option in the "Forum Tools" drop down menu?

No, the search option is right next to the "Forum Tools" button you said before, on the left side. Or at least, it should be there..
Nothing at the moment, no tools for searching the forum. Someone told us to use the xda app on android but afaik its search function ain't working at all.
Now it is back, for me at least, and from work where I use IE8.
I'll see from home (Chrome)...

[Q] Where is the "Search" buttom gone?

I dont know what happened, but i am not able to find the buttom to "search" in threads.
Maybe i am blind, but I cannot find it anymore.
Please help
Just confirming search seems to be deactivated.
Also if we had search we could try to search why it has been deactivated.
But also if you click onto a username to "find all posts by..." it says it's disabled. Don't know why anyway. I am a n00b on XDA-developers
One mod said they were looking into it yesterday... no repair ETA.
The missing search function also happens to break the "participated topics" tab of the tapatalk app.
I can't believe we have all these really smart developers and they can't figure out how to get the search back. Very ironic.

More ironic is, that everyone is *****ing that nobody uses the search button, but there are really some users realizing, that it's missing.

How to mark a forum as a favorite in the XDA Android app?

I just started using the XDA Android app, and I feel like a moron but I can't figure out how to add a forum to my "Favorites" list. I've tried long-pressing, looked in the menus, etc. But I can't figure it out. Is this some kind of test?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
i have the same question
When in the forum you want as favourite, just press options and choose 'Subscribe', you'll get a notification saying the forum has been added to favourites.

But doesn't subscribing mean I'll get email notifications about every post? I do not want that.

You can change your subscription settings, you can also press and hold on a thread or parent thread to subscribe.

Oh, you're talking about subscribing to a thread. I was asking about subscribing to an entire forum. I do have some individual threads in my topic favorites, but I don't see how to get a forum in the forum favorites.

Works the same way, you can also subscribe to the forum from the website and it will show up under your favorites.

Yes, after you press subscribe there's a new prompt that asks about notifications...

Requesting a wallpaper(move thread if not correct location, sorry)

Hi. I am requesting this wallpaper(without the icons). I have attached to the thread. I think it's a default on Altcatel Touch Idol.
Have you tried a Google image search?

It does appear to be, given the advertising photos on-line. Your best bet is to go through some of the XDA threads for this device (which are all over the place as it's not a well-supported phone) and pm some of the more active users to see if they can send you a copy of the wallpaper.

When I follow that link, the first five hits are all different threads.
Perhaps its personalized?

[Q] find & list all my posts in xda

How do I do this?
Trying to find a thread I started. Even when I do a search under my username it only comes back with one reply I made a couple of days ago.
In your profile, statistics tab, you can find a link to all your posts.
Or at home, general tab, you can select participated tab which will list all the threads you have ever posted on.

Thanks.
I think they must've all been deleted as it shows just this one & the one I mentioned.
A shame, someone replied to a question which I've just found the time to try. Now I can't find the thread

I mostly use google to search in forums, cause the built in searchers suck badly. Try using google: arb76 site:forum.xda-developers.com
