Lost sign on info.

[IMANUT46]

I'm using an old device to access this app. If there's someone out there who can help me to find my sign-on info. I have many years of data in this group and I'd like to move it to my Pixel 3.
Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean. You are already signed in. If you mean your posts and threads in the forum they are not saved locally in your phone and it doesn't matter which device you use, you can access them easily when you log with your username.

Lost Android central

Somehow, after having a problem with loading my Pixel 3 forum. I tried to fix it and really screwed it up. I've managed to get back on, but the site is not like it was. I can't find the forum for the Pixel 3.
What can I do to get me back to the way it was. Thanks.

Click on your avatar >> a box opens under your avatar >>Then click on posts >> and you will see every post/ thread you made under your account profile . All posts / threads are tied to the user account name. So you can see the post or threads you made in Pixel 3 forums as well

What are you using, the site or the app? First you said the app and now the site, they are different things. In the site tap 'Menu' top left to get all these options.

I moved this from the Introductions forum to the Site Feedback forum.

Thanks. You may remember me from my many posts on the Pixel 3 group. If you can't already know, I had a disaster with that Forum. I've managed to get back on, but the look and feel of Android Central is different from the Forum I've been using for many years.
Perhaps I may have reinstalled the writing Forum.
The start menu used to be very useful. One click on the FORUMS and it showed all of the availabile forums. I can't find that list.
Not surprising, but I am lost and confused. Please help.
Thanks.

You need to tell us which way you are, and were, accessing the forums. Without this information it's impossible for us to help you further. There are different ways to access AC Forums:

- Site from a browser. My last screenshot shows you how to see your own posts/threads and your subscribed forums.

- Main Android Central app. This app has no support from the Devs anymore and it has been removed from the Play Store.

- Android Central Forums app. This is still the best option to access the forums. It's very easy to see your own posts/threads and navigate through the specific device sub-forums.

Please, post a screenshot of what you are using.

I have been a user of Android Central for over 8 years . My only interest was the Pixel 3 forum.
My opening screen showed all the options, the 2nd of which was the FORUMS. Clicking on that presented a list of available forums, one of which was the Pixel 3 forum. Clicking on that showed all the posts and responses, including my own. With this interface, I can't get there.
Here is the screenshot of the opening screen of this forum.

Ok, now it's easier to help you out. Forget about the old Android Central app, it's pretty much gone and not coming back. Your screenshot is from the Android Central Forums app, the best choice to follow the forums.

You are in the threads tab. From there you can select the thread which you Participated or Subscribed (see my first screenshot).

If you switch to the All tab (Hamburger symbol) you can select any sub-forum you want. Under Google hardware you can select any of the Pixel sections (third screenshot). I recommend you to subscribe to the Pixel 3 sub-forum so you can access it very easily (second screenshot).

Thanks for showing the way for me. Sorry to see the format go. IMO, it was clean and simple.
I found what I was looking for.
Is there a PDF or tutorial on how to use this forum? I'm going to do all of my posting from the Google Pixel 3 sub forum. Thanks again for your help
