With blf narrow cats, might need desktop. My webpage php includes Android or desktop code based on user agent. No Javascript needed.
Also, a laser forum, biolumen or trit forum, would be interesting on occasion to visit and read. Don’t see how lasers would fit in here. I really think a categoy revamp is needed. Even the fl battery type forums would be better as subforums to cut the clutter.
Categories? We have categories?
I’ve only ever used “recent posts” and “search”. 
Im not having problems in my last 4 years with my note3
I found the site good too in phone, very functional :+1:
This .
Sometimes if I search for something I would look trough the categories.
I visit blf very often on my phone and I don’t have any problems while doing it. The software isn’t the newest but it works.
I got your BLF cat layout right here!
Does this cat layout look ok on everyone’s phone?
^ Colours look a bit off, but the layout looks good on my phone
I do 90% of my BLFing on phone and everything looks good, except for when people don’t specify <100% when posting images.
Alternative BLF cat layout
Don't shine it ! Some (people) could be blinded .., or , maybe , they already are ?
I probably do half of of my BLFing on my phone (the other half on tablet) and I would appreciate a dedicated mobile layout - pressing the little ‘x new’ link to open a thread in a new tab is tough for my fat fingers!
That said, sb56637 has the stats and knows what the priorities are. I’m grateful that the forum exists, and for the contributions of all its members.
Some good cat layouts coming together. I have rat and dog layouts on my phone but no cats to share.
Of course you are correct that LEDs are not exclusive to flashlights. But the problem is that there wouldn’t be enough topics about bare LEDs to justify another category.
Actually I should correct myself. There’s another more appropriate category to discuss bare LED emitters:

Best cat layout is interlocking cat layout, very efficient use of space
Great cat layout photos. The cat on the flashlight is the best.
Baby steps : give us an emitter forum. If nothing else. Who cares if only one great led emitter posts in an emitter forum every 6 months, as lack of static would mean good information not getting buried. So far, any threads on blf about the latest emitter were all found by me through Google, not by browsing, which I would find tedious, since I have no flashlight interest per se. Building my own stuff and 80k lumen plus worklights are my thing, since worklight specs don't seem to matter as much as battery sucking wow factor that reminds me of drug abuse.

But, …
it’s a flashlight forum. :student:
Using the BLF constantly almost daily since June 2017, on smartphone and/or computer, the only times I use the forum “cats” are to make a thread (review, doubt, …) or to search for some ongoing giveaway I may have missed :money_mouth_face:
Other than that, “search” and “recent posts” are the only things I use (besides my “subscriptions” or “messages”).
I do understand OP’s point, though, but searching a bit for a name or expression and sort it by date or relevance normally do the trick 
My point :+1:
I don’t see flashlight in the blf name.
The word budget could be limiting.
(But having built my own, a good one, at least $40 in parts, plus 3 plus hours. Probably more sourcing parts. I probably am forgetting $20 in ethereal costs. That is how much specs mean to me.)
So, in my mind $60 for a fenix headlamp, with true buck, this is budget. Insane shelf queens at $300 plus, with standard parts, is insane. Now, a $15 convoy or some really respectable $23 headlamp, is also budget-almost to the point of stealing. Anyway, the short of this is that “budget” means balanced sanity, v. Ridiculous commercial shelf queens. I definitely suspect the budget name was chosen as a reaction to the obvious whoring and commercial promotion over at cpf. I often felt surrounded by wolves trying to push some overvalued, under performing lights, where the dollar ruled more than the member… I have not read this forum as often, for the cat reasons. So, I would be unaware if same problem creeping in here.
Other than that, it is a light forum. A $250 120,000 lumen hid work light is budget and cheap, if you consider other factors.
And, just to clarify I mean category— for the foreign reader. But, unsure if better cat layout would make my cat jealous. But, I know my old lights get jealous when I go on this forum.
Gentlemen I think the request was for multiple CATagories

I find “typing” on a phone, even a tablet, to about as much fun as chewing on aluminum foil while someone blows cigar-smoke in my face. Even text messages are painful.
If someone can actually read and reply to posts on a phone, hey, more power to ’em. Me, I’d rather shave my head with a belt-sander. I’ll stick to a real keyboard and screen.
’Though I’d like to know how they do it…
