I searched the forum but can not find about this. How can I mark a compete thread as read?
Generally going through all pages of a thread marks it as read but it is a long process for threads with large no. of pages. Is there any simple method for this?

I am familiar with newsgroup tree structure. Are the forums arranged in a different manner. Could someone give me an analogy on how theyre set up. Or Must I use their keyword search. Is there a hierarchy that I need to know?
Thanks for patience
Answered in the other thread you asked in...

The forums are in a wide, flat hierarchy...
At the top level is a category for every device. Within it is a subforum for development, general and themes and questions etc...
From the index you can pick your phone, or you can start to type its name in the box at the top right, and you'll get taken to the forum.
Within the forums, the actual threads are like newsgroups, but replies don't indent obviously...

Perhaps I need another cup of coffee, but I can't find the search function to search forum posts and threads...
I remember it being there in the past, so that people, like me, don't post a question that's been asked and answered !
help !
top right hand corner
Hmm...still looking
Upper right corner was my recollection as well...but I'm not seeing ittoday ?
So it's not just me...

Seems as though someone may be doing some maintenance
The search features on this site simply don't work correctly. I can search the entire forum for "USB Device Not Recognized" and not get any results. I can search threads or posts in the Captivate section and get every result for "recognized" which is not helpful at all. I'm guessing you could eliminate thousands of needless question posts within threads (frustrating developers) by actually having logical search features.

Yes, no always an easy job to search through a site with so many different forums, subforums, threads, etc.
Read here about xda search in general: [GUIDE] How To Use Search
And when xda forum/thread search index is currently rebuilding on the servers, you may better search xda site via Google search, e.g.:
Code:
site:xda-developers.com "what you want to search"
Thread closed and thank you !
How does one search within a subforum? There's search all forums, and search within a thread, but sometimes It'd be extremely useful to search just within a specific devices forum. Too many irrelevancies otherwise.
Hi there,
Please read my thread from my signatures with "How to use search on XDA".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646826
Good luck
This seems be better suited for the "About xda-developers.com" forum, but apparently questions are not allowed there.
With many threads containing hundreds of pages and thousands of posts, it is challenging to read the entire thread, looking for that one post that could make the difference between success and disaster.
The "show printable version" option under Thread Tools has an option for "Show 50 post(s) from this thread on one page". This helps, but that still results in more than 100 pages for some threads.
Unfortunately the site seems to prevent editing the url from "&pp=50" to "&pp=500" to get 500 posts per page.
Is there any way to download an entire thread?
