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

So, The search function/ability has gone missing or has it just been moved with this new rule?
Thanks!

i dont know why...
^ So you do not have a search function on your screen either?
I understand limiting posts in development ares but being search-less makes for a lot of duplicate posts
I have found this:

You mean thread search or general?

I have no thread search or general search. I am of course logged in but the "buttons" are not on my screen. Is it just my account? Thought this might have something to do with low post count(<10) accounts
There was a post about this in the general section - it was down for maintenance, and was for about 9 hours. It's back up now so you should be able to see it.
Is it already back up? Not yet for me. Because I understand spam posts but restricting search is kind of weird when you want newbies to search before they even try to post.
edit: Sorry, refreshing cache worked.
edit2: Oh gosh, the restrictions are terrible. -.-
No search still, ran crap cleaner, running firefox 9.0.1. Is there a specific area to clear cache that cc wont get?
Thanks!
After the last post I made the search is back on!
Crap cleaner worked.
Thanks for all the responses and help
Hi there.
I've been using the forum for a while now, but never felt the need to ask something, nor to respond (as I'm a noob).
But today I was going to ask a question in the developers forum, I receive a message saying I first have to post 10 messages.
From then on I can't perform searches any more.
Is that right or have I done something wrong?
Thanks,
Caio
You did not do anything wrong really. Maybe close your browser and re open it or do a restart and see if you still can not use the search function. The ten post thing is a rulle to try and keep the devwlopment forums clean. Next time you have a question post it here in the general or the Q&A forums. If you continue to have trouble with the search function cantact q admi.istrator or moderator.

Hi,
The search function has been down all day.
I never realized how much I used it,until it disappeared.
Ok them. I guess I basically surf the forum via the search, so I'm missing it too much. But if the feature is down for everyone I'll have to try again later.
Thank you guys for the prompt answers!
Goto google and paste this in:
site:xda-developers.com HTC sensation issues
Replace 'issues' with anything you are looking for help on.

Close your eyes and cross your fingers the forum search suxs!
Ok. Thanks for all your replies. But as my problem with the search has been resolved, how can I delete or close the threads?
When you hit search, if nothing comes up, just hit F5. Works like a charm, every single time
I go to my profile then click on stats and the show my threads and it only shows one result. I KNOW I've made more than one thread, before this happened it would only allow me to go 6 pages then it'd say something about not being able to find the page if I clicked 7, 8 or so on page links of my threads search list results.
Hi all, I've a small issue with the forum, few months ago I've opened a thread about an app I'm working on ( thread link ) and I attached some images of it. Today I've updated the thread with other info and I would like to remove those old images, but I cannot found a way to do that. Is it normal? should a moderator do it for me?
Thanks for the help!
(I tried searching about this kind of issue with the search feature, but it seems that I'm falled inside "Inception", I've only found thread in xda that talk about attachment in android apps kinda funny )

Click "edit" ---> "go advanced"
then under "Additional Options" below your post, click "manage attachments". The manage attachment window will open, just click "remove" next to your attached file to remove it.
Thanks a lot, I was able to remove them, but I've a doubt, is it possible that this section was not available before? I've scrolled that page up and down (advanced mode) a lot before posting
hi i always have problems in internet because of my traveling, thats why i always download custom roms whenever i get a chance and also it's first page of thread for any info i might need when i install that rom.
but i found that sometimes solutions to problems are found if you read full thread, so i got this idea of why not download a full thread for later use specially if i can in pdf format.
i searched google for it, there are many old questions of this kind but no i couldn't find any solutions.
i found httrack, it looks good but its far too complicated for a user like me, can anyone have a look at httrack and tell me how can i use it on xda?
or if there is any special software for xda which can download whole thread with images please?
any help would be appreciated,
no one?
I am looking for the same answer. I want to be respectful before just posting a question but some threads have 30-80 pages and there is always refer back to some other prior posts so I have not found a good way to catch up on a thread. I have tried reading from the end and going back 3-6 pages but I suspect there is something along the way in pages 20, or 38 or 43 that is relevant. If there is no solution, then newbies end up posting at the end of thread with what others view as lazy and not reading the thread. How in the heck do you download the thread so I can do a faster read?
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted}
no, thats not what i am trying to achieve, i want a full thread to be downloaded, like with all pages it have, so i can read offline all the pages. i can't save as every page if a thread has hundreds of pages. so it's not practical.
but thanks for you input. i would wait for someone who might know a way...
I'm also looking for a solution...

To be honest, I doubt XDA itself will want this kind of function to be availble because it is funded by various ads, ads that can only be seen and only generate funds when actively online.

We'll see what they have to say..
This was the reply I got :
Eleo said:
I think what user wants is... getting an XML with all post texts including poster name/info (though it means attachments cannot get) as in when trying to extract all PMs from XDA site as an XML file.
That would be very long and huge size on 2000-10000 paged threads (even with 10 posts per page). But that could be very practical if possible

I understand but unfortunately it's not possible. The best way is to change settings to show 50 posts per page and use Chrome (or similar) to "print" and "save as" pdf :good:

Try loading the page, then right click in the page then choose the "select all" option to highlight all the text on the page, then copy the text, then create a new text file, then paste the copied text in the file, you'll have to do this with each page of the thread.
Or, you can use screen record and scroll through the pages and posts while recording.
