[Index] How to Navigate the XDA Forum

[osirisjem]

The Forums really highlight Samsung, OnePlus, and Google. I take it that is intended. But it is non-intuitive to have the "All Manufacturers" embedded under General discussion.

Considering most people here are interested in under 5 forums, if on the forum home, you listed the member's Watched Forums first .... that sure would be convenient.

For me, I am going to put all my fav forums in the "Watched Forums" dropdown.

With these settings

So I have access to the forums I frequent the most, but dont get endless alerts.

At the bottom would work fine as well.
Especially with the collapsible forums.

Site not secure Warning

Disable signatures, http:// images there are ruining secure status.

- Link

Then open network page of dev console in your browser and find a piece of content that does not use https:// on page load.
It should be signatures, otherwise it's a forum issue. People with "HTTPS Everywhere" browser extensions won't have this problem BTW.

I only have 3 options for Theme. How can I try the other themes named in the poll?

 

[J.Michael]

In a browser, on a tablet
I cannot search while holding the tablet in landscape mode: the keyboard will not stay open.

There is different code in the two orientations. In landscape, the XDA header is pinned to the top of the screen. In portrait, the header is not pinned, and tapping the magnifying glass causes the top of the screen to be rewritten with a search box. Until this happens, there is no text box in which to click.

Looks good to me.

I'm sorry, I should have specified that it's the mobile view of the Light, non-Classic theme that has the font slightly too small. I'm gifted with close vision better than a diamond cutter but I'm speaking for other people that don't. I think it may be my better than average close vision that causes me to see a ghost image of lines burned in my eyes for a while after looking away from the screen in a dark mode theme. People with blurry close vision probably don't have the same problem with dark mode themes because of the lesser sharp contrast to their eyes. Most people over 40 have bad close vision but not me. I can actually read the microprint of the US state names listed along the top of the Lincoln memorial on the back of a five dollar bill without a magnifying glass or glasses.

There seems to be a new name for the "Elite" member: Prolific Contributor
Maybe time to update the post about new member titles?!

Webp compatibility​

Webp compatibility is a longstanding wish for XenForo. It will be supported on XDA once it is supported in XenForo.
