[CLOSED] XenForo 2.2 Upgrade! Post Bugs, Issues and Comments Here

[DiamondJohn]

I have a post (new thread) I have been meaning to create for a while, but its too complex to do in a single sitting. Its info for others, so I dont get any gain personally.

Does the new interface have like a "draft" function, where I can build the post/thread over a few days, before I post it and make it public?

No, draft only works for replying

I thought so, I couldn't see it anywhere on the screen. So I started typing and switch to the "Toggle BB Code" view, and save that off in a text file on my computer, ready to paste back into another new thread, when I wish to work on it. I guess starting it was the biggest roadblock.

Ever since losing posts due to accidental browser navigation I've been using text files for draft and recomend it in spite of the additional work.

Sadly nothing has changed. Still forum goes offline multiple times.

Why forum is offline almost every day multiple times??

I'm so sorry, I'm trying to use the search function for this thread, but for some reason, I'm getting results from the whole forum.
I got Magisk 24.1 installed (App is 25.2). I'm updating to 25.2 (Direct install), reboot and everything is fine. For a few days.
Then network services stop working requiring a reboot to get back up and running. And in return Magisk is back to 24.1..
I've tried to disable all the modules before updating = no difference.
Maybe one of the modules needs to be removed?
Modules:
ARCore/playground Patcher 2.1
Busybox for Android NDK 1.34.1
CloudflareNDS4Magisk IPv6 2.6
Debloater (Terminal Emulator) 17.3.3
F-Droid Privileged Extension2021-07-21
Terminal Modifications 1.4.6
Universal SafetyNet Fix 3.3.1

Or is there some known issue I don't know of?

Do you use a browser or the XDA app?
When you try to search, do you get a dialog box that lets you choose "Search this thread"?

There is also a link at the top of each page (in a browser) to "Search this thread".

Fine, but try to "Search in this thread" for a keyword Vacations and please tell how many posts does XDA find 'relevant' for that keyword

Please do that test EXACTLY as above

I got two, yours and @Oswald Boelcke's.
Are you aware of other mentions of the word?

I got ALL posts because instead of for Vacations (or whatever other keyword) XDA returns results for the wildcard "*"

See the screenshot
"Search results for query: *"

Using XDA Application

And the same in the next post when I use CHROME

Exactly the same result (search for wildcard - listing all posts in the thread) when using XDA app - see one post above

Browser, and I use "Search this thread"..

Search is fubar and in many case automatically populates criteria with an asterisk signifying wildcard. Workaround in link in my signature. Web browser recommend for searching and for viewing signature.

@zgfg, I originally intended to post this here and got my wires crossed, did not realize we were in magisk thread until after a few posts. Lol.

In any event, @maakosan, the "asterisk" work around will allow you to search for the actual criteria.

To avoid any misunderstanding, the screen recording shows how "Search this thread" for a given keyword (like Vacations) responds with wildcard results "Search results for query: *" ALSO for CHROME Browser (latest version) on the phone:

File on MEGA

mega.nz

Ie, the bug (for sure known for about a year and reported by few in couple of threads) is not limited to XDA app

I can corroborate that this is not an XDA app specific issue and that it occurs in the app even without host based ad-blockers enabled, and also that in desktop browsers it is not caused by 3rd party script blockers or Firefox' quirky security settings.

In addition to this being an issue for one of the most common actions users are expected to take (search) I'm curious about what the site is using as a criteria as to when the search works properly or fails, eg is it something about the device, the network, or something about the user's XDA account, or something else?

From your screen-record, I see you are using the Community App Dark theme.

About a year ago, I found the search function along with expanding the screen width was borked when using the Community Dark theme.

I switch to the xda-Dark theme and I could expand (hide the side bars) and the search function worked properly.
I just checked the regular (light) xda theme and the expand and search worked with that theme also.

Cheers.

Note:
Post #522 for reference.

I'm not following this entirely. Is the app theme related to the asterisk issue or just the layout of the page?

When I set the theme to Community Dark, the search function is broken.

Computer using the full web (Brave browser)..

The search box in the title bar does not give me the options to limit my search by thread or user.

So I get a global search for "theme".

Using the Search this thread button for "theme"

Search results for query: *

Device using the mobile web (Brave browser)..
The search box in the title bar sometimes gives me the options to limit my search by thread or user.
If it actually opens the search box. Still shows
Search results for query: *

Using the Search this thread button for "theme"
Search results for query: *

---

When I set the theme to one of the other options [XDA | XDA-Dark | XDA - Classic], the search function works correctly.
Both the one in the title bar and the Search this thread button.



I search the thread for "theme"
Search results for query: theme

----

The xda app, there is no search option in the title bar.
The Search this thread button is broken for me regardless of theme set.
I search the thread for "theme"
Search results for query: *

It has been a while since I last tested any of this so, I refreshed my self by testing this all again.

To quote myself from a different thread.

The current xda app is not usable for me..
I only have the app installed to get notifications.
I use the mWeb version to view notifications and posts.
Everything else is from a computer and the full web version of xda.

Hope it helps more than confuse.

Cheers.

Just noticed this: do you guys have signatures showing under each post in xda app? I have the option activated in settings but it's not showing for me.

Thanks for the explanation. That's a separate and more complicated issue than just replacing the * with your search criteria. I don't even use the part of the search that you're using their thanks again.
