@MikeChannon Sir, allow me to bump above.
Sorry, I did raise the matter through channels. It's not something we can fix with a quick change or update in Admin CP. So I'm told it'll be referred to Valnet's IT people. That means it could take some time to fix as it'll be in a to-do queue where things are dealt with in order of priority.

Mike

Solo quiero saber de que se trata todo esto porque para empezar no se Inglés en que me podría beneficiar o afectar y que tendría que hacer,porque no tengo ni trabajo se los digo por si hay que pagar algo no puedo gracias

Mod translation: I just want to know what all this is about because to begin with I don't know English, how it could benefit or affect me and what I would have to do, because I don't even have a job, I'll tell you in case I have to pay something, I can't, thanks

What happened to all of my post and reactions just yesterday I had over 900 post and over 1.9k reactions and now there all gone ? Can you confirm if it's a bug

It appears one of the Mods made a mistake and removed all of your posts. I'll let the interested parties know and see if they can be restored.

@MikeChannon & @the_scotsman Gentleman, can you please help this member with his problem? Thank you as always

I have been having this issue even before the upgrade. When I go to the site it acts as if I not logged in until I look at a thread. Once I look at a thread it knows i'm signed in & everything is normal. But if I leave the thread & go to another forum, subforum, or the index page it acts like i'm not signed in then when I go back to a thread it has me signed in again.

I am using the bromite browser on my mobile device. I also tried the brave browser but this happens on brave as well.

FYI, although people occasionally get logged out after site maintenance or periods of inactivity and must login again this did not seem to happen nearly as frequently as what you experience and not across all platforms, the XDA app and various browsers. It almost sounds like there's some kind of restriction on content being delivered to the device through the network or a cookie or scripts blocker or something like that. There are also some interdependencies between the XDA app and web browsers which could be affected by the same thing, For testing purposes, if possible, you might want to try on a different device and network and browser-optimally a computer with a full desktop browser on an unrestricted network.

You can also reconfigure xenforo to work properly on the bromite & brave browser. People shouldn't have to switch browsers for certain sites. More people are getting attracted to multiple privacy focused browsers & do not want to have to be forced to use mainstream one to browse a site. Most likely it's a script blocker because as I said i'm logged in I just don't see it until I go to a thread.

With that being said those 2 browsers I mentioned are built on chronium if that helps. I didn't know XDA has a mobile app to browse the forums is the app it's own or is it tapatalk to browse the forum?

I've uploaded a video so you can see whats happening.

You may have misunderstood the intent and content of my post so I shall clarify. What I suggested was for diagnostic purposes to help analyze a unique issue where you seem to be getting logged out in a manner that is atypical of previously reported issues as you navigate. I was using interdependency between app and browsers regarding the initial login as an example of of a mechanism which could explain the symptoms you are experiencing but I was not suggesting that it was normal to have to switch browsers just to navigate. I too have configured the app properly with the browsers you suggest and several more and was suggesting, again just for troubleshooting purposes, testing in a situation where there are none of those dependencies, and where it's less likely to experience the hypothetical cause - in other words on a different network if possible. Since the hypothesis is that some blocker or network asset unique to your setup is preventing a particular type of communication necessary for login I have suggested testing, on a different rig and or Network. I know that is easier said than done but knowing where the symptom occurs and where it doesn't would be helpful.

It might be worth trying the app but you may find, as many people have, that browsers are actually better. This suggestion too is just for diagnostic purposes and to make the device go through the interdependencies of the login where the app will attempt to log in then defer to a browser then bounce back to the app and then that should not be needed for subsequent logins. That would be the expected behavior and it would be helpful to know if that type of login in the app persists as well. If it does not then the app is experiencing the same issue as the browsers.

In any event, I'm out of ideas but some of this testing might help determine if the issue is local to your setup or if there is some issue with your account.

    I have made some of my suggestions here:

    I don't agree with your request (2)
    "In this regard, it would be nice to have a forum for each version of Android, and then a sub-forum per brand. An issue with a particular version of Android will affect all devices, especially those that are from the same brand. "

    IMO, and by my experience, a particular device was originally released with the one version of Android (like A11).and it later receives two or more major upgrades, like A12 and A13

    But certain topics like its hardware characteristics and potential issues with (like problems with a fingerprint, problem with the virtual proximity sensor, etc) remain common and some workaround that was posted for an earlier version of ROM may still apply.
    Hence they are not related to Android version or brand, but really per device

    Then, there are also questions and discussions about the 'best ROM' that generally do not limit to the particular Android version

    Etc. Also, guides about unlocking Bootloader, rooting, using and installing a particular custom Recovery might be common

    On the other side ok - there are also issues that are common but not only or not that much for the particular Android version but to the vendor's modifications like MIUI versions for Xiaomi phones

    Besides, how would you reorganize existing threads where the posts are mixed, related to the same device but different versions of Android (MIUI in the case of Xiaomi phones)

    My two cents

    When Samsung releases OneUI 6 based on Android 14 later this year, any issues with it would be seen on S23 Ultra, S23 Plus, S23, S23 Ultra, S23 Plus, S22, S21 FE, and a whole lot of devices that get OneUI 6. Same logic applies to all the smartphone brands.

    It is far easier to discuss issues related to the OS version in one sub-forum than spread it out over multiple sub-forums, which will also result in many duplicate posts for the same issue. Plus, users watching device specific sub-forums may not be aware of issues on their device if they haven't been discussed in those sub-forums.


    Usually most people look for the latest Android versions in their custom ROMs. It is one of the main reasons why people install a custom ROM.


    This is the only reason why a device specific sub-forum is useful. For pretty much everything else, a sub-forum as suggested above would be more useful.

    As with reorganizing or redesigning the website, one must make use of Filters. It is the best way to organise and manage everything.
    I gave you the reasons I see in my previous posts.
    That's my opinion and this is yours

    Don't have time to link then posts proving for devices like Lisa (Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE), davincie (Xiaomi Mi 9T) and similar subforums, related to devices I have/had and what I monitor and participated (hence knowing what and how was discussed)

    Again, I gave my opinion, and I will no more reply to the quotes about the same

    Good luck

    Thank you for your time. Your reasons were not convincing enough to stick to the current implementation though. There is scope for improvement as suggested above.
    For me your reasons are not convincing for your requesting changes😁😁

    On 3/11/2021 at around 10am New York time, XDA will be upgrading our forum software to XenForo 2.2 which brings a bunch of new improvements, like a new thread preview tool, a Device Inventory tool to show off which phones you use, a most-thanked widget in every thread to easily spot the most important posts, plus a host of other new feature you can read about here. Not every feature of 2.2 will be available/active on XDA from day one, but we'll roll more things out soon as we settle in. :cool:

    Please use this thread to post about bugs, issues, or overall comments. If reporting a bug or issue, be sure to tell us about your configuration (device, browser, OS) and the steps to reproduce the issue. Screenshots help!

    In addition, later today we'll be updating the XDA app to work with 2.2. :cowboy:
    26
    Known Bugs/Regressions:
    1. Advanced forum user max title length is too short, truncating them (e.g. "Senior Recognized Developer / Recognized Contribut"). Fixed 06/18 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-comments-here.4245677/page-16#post-85203961
    2. Long forum names are truncated (e.g. "Android Software and Hacking General [Developers O").
    3. Thanks/Likes counts are reduced for most users, sometimes dramatically, seemingly from Aug 29 - Dec 2; possibly related to posts reverting to older versions.
    4. Various old forum emojis aren't mapped to new unicode ones, and ones in old posts that do exist (e.g. :cowboy:) don't display.
    5. Broken redirects from old links for many threads/posts.
    6. Disabling Alert in Preferences forces Mobile App Push enabled, one should be able to disable both.
    7. "Unfurl"ed URL links to posts sometimes show a preview of the OP instead of the correct post (e.g. [URL unfurl="true"]https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/welcome-to-xda-2021.4197018/post-84073623[/URL]
      ==
      )
    8. Missing colored/underlined user names to denote advanced forum users (e.g. Moderators/Admins and Recognized Contributors/Themers/Developers). Fixed 12/14 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-comments-here.4245677/page-28#post-86097881
    9. Posts containing only quotes and no new text shouldn't be allowed.
    10. Ability to subscribe to an entire forum is missing for some forums.
    11. XDA Wiki pages are missing.
    12. [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] functionality is broken and pics lost.
    13. Shell scripts are detected and rejected as attachments, even if renamed as .txt files.
    14. Search "this category" option never shows any results when used.
    15. Recognized Developers can't moderate their own threads anymore.
    16. Missing/broken legacy devices in Device Inventory (e.g. Galaxy Nexus is listed when you search but fails when you attempt to add it).
    17. Missing setting to receive emails for mentions and/or quotes.
    18. Reaction Score doesn't match between profile and "All" under Reactions Received.
    19. DevDB secondary thread contributors have completely lost access to updating these threads.

    👆

    Truncated special titles appear to be getting fixed today! 🙌
    Yay, not that I want to send me flowers but I send flowers to myself still 😜, there were 66 accounts to manually edit and then inform members about this change. Yea there were not other solutions than doing it manually.... 😭

    I'm happy to have contributed to this and make disappear the truncated tiles. We have 50 char maximum allowed for it so it was not easy to find a good and consistent compromise for everyone and every case.

    BTW, no one forced me, I was fine to volunteer for this task.

    @svetius @bitpushr @MikeChannon @the_scotsman @Audentio

    Can you please add .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar.xz, .txz, etc. to the accepted attachment extension list? I'm trying to upload AIK-Linux v3.8 here and this is a bit of an annoying last minute snag. :p

    Please also look into allowing uploading simple shell scripts again. These used to be allowed at least when renamed to .sh.txt but currently they still get detected and blocked.

    This is a developers and power users forum, you would think these things would already be allowed! :)
    (y)I have added those extenstions.

    Mike
