Howdy!

[KA1OTE]

Nice to (virtually) meet you. I'm Kai from Utah and have been a member for awhile but only recently became an active member. With my new Droid Turbo BN I could think of no better place to turn to for help learning the Turbo's ins and outs and, maybe, even helping others as well.

I do have two site related issues I have been unable to find help on...

I have subscribed to a few threads and those do show up when I click on the Subscribed button. I have also subscribed to the Turbo Forum and yet I can't see that listed anywhere in my subscriptions. I use a few other forum sites that are somewhat similar to the AC layout, but my limited knowledge of this site has led me nowhere. If someone could help point me to where I can see my subscribed forums, I'd be much appreciative.

I have posted on a few threads so far. It seems as though every other post I submit is delayed in actually showing up on the thread.. by about an hour? Not sure what i am doing differently with those posts as the ones in between are viewable on the thread as soon as I hit send. Just curious as to what is going on? Do I need to change the way I'm doing things? Or is it a system issue? TIA for any insight on this issue! It's becoming quite frustrating.

Thanks and hello again!

Welcome Kai to Android Central.
Are you posting through the AC forums app, your laptop/desktop or the Tapatalk app?

Hiya Mav..
On my laptop (the mobile app confuses me lol)

I think "subscribed" generally is for threads & not forums. But for forums -go to "subscribed", then to "options" then scroll down - should see subscribed forums. works on a laptop, do not know about phone app.

I just tried that.. went to Subscribed page, clicked Subscriptions button on far right - only options in the drop down menu are All or Subscriptions (6 threads). So no dice there.
I was playing around to see what I could discover. I clicked on "0 New" right under my username, top of every page.. from that drop down menu I selected "0 Reputation Comments". The page that loaded is exactly what I was looking for! But I'm not sure if there is an easier, less clicks required method of getting there. Here is a screen shot of the page I'm referring to (it is called the User Control Panel on other forums I am a member of)..

go to "subscribed" button on the top left' them to "settings" on the left just above "my messages" as shown on your screen shot. scroll down & you should see what you want. I think it is easier to just scroll down to the forums you want. I have a lot of time on my hands so I have pressed almost all buttons in various combinations.

I have figured it out! Clicking on "Settings" takes me to a page that looks exactly what I have been searching for.. one page that shows subscribed threads AND forums. Funny how the page's web address even ends in /usercp .. (User Control Panel) exactly what I am used to seeing and using.

And it seems all of my posts are now posting to threads immediately after I send them. So I guess that is no longer an issue, but it makes me curious as to why it was happening in the first place..

 

[Bruce39]

glad you figured it out, hope I was some help. The slowness probably has to do with the number of people posting, this is a very busy forum. I notice you are from Utah - one of our favorite places, we plan to go back this summer or fall.

Welcome to the forums. A little late...Sorry.

It seems as though every other post I submit is delayed in actually showing up on the thread.. by about an hour?

As for your posts, here is what most likely happened: When you had a low post count, many times the site automatically flags your account for posts to be held in Moderation for a Moderator to review and approve them. Since the Moderators and Ambassadors are volunteers, the Mods approve posts when they get a chance to check any that are there.

Since you have a higher post count now, most of your posts are going through as legitimate, and you should start seeing immediate postings.

As for your subscribed forum, perhaps an easier thing to do would be this: go to your forum, and bookmark it. If you think you will come here a lot (and we hope you do) place it in your bookmark bar. (You probably wouldn't believe how many AC bookmarks I have....lol)

Welcome to Android Central! Yes, it's a bit odd that the subscribed/favorite forums are best viewed by clicking on the Settings option. There ought to be a separate button to reach that list.
