Yep, those subforums were a failure because their threads didn’t appear in the Recent Posts. This serves to illustrate the power of the Recent Posts page. So commercial liaisons: please use your privileges wisely and don’t mess up the freedom that currently allows your threads to appear in the Recent Posts list.
Hi there, just want to ask a question. If i repeatedly click someone’s affiliate link will that make them rich?
Nope, only if you buy repeatedly from them. 
Its not click bait. You have to actually buy the item linked!
Good spot for it.
He runs things with lots of thought
With complexities this place is fraught
But so true is his aim
That no one can claim
Ever better a forum was wrought
Thanks , sb
Well done SB!
Nice! I might just go and change the rules again if I can get another limerick out of the maestro Jack. 
Good to know, that is actually what im thinking on why i dont click on the links when checking out an offer that im not sure to buy yet. Haha
If you accidentally click on any of affiliate links, no matter if its here or on some online blog, simply clean your browsers cookies, that should solve the problem of being tricked into clicking hidden affiliate links.
Pretty great changes!
Glad to see that both types of “groupbuys” have their own sections, with both getting the space they need
read and accepted
It’s oh so hard to adapt to change. Can’t you just do it right the first time? :_(
I thought there was a problem and the Group Buys page wasn’t loading or something. Now I see what’s happened.
Please read through the first post in this thread for the explanation of why this change was necessary.
I want to take this opportunity to let Mr. Admin know how much I appreciate his hard work to make BLF such an awesome forum.
This place runs a lot more smoothly than most places, and I have a lot of fun here. :)
:party:
I used to navigate directly to the Group Buys. Now it’s split into two groups, BLF Special Edition Products and BLF User Negotiated Deals, which I find hard to remember and more complicated to navigate to.
This is how I’d really like to see this area organized and re-named:
Budget Flashlight Buy/Sell
Commercial Sellers’ Spot
Budget Dealer Experiences
BudgetLightForum Deal Alerts
Want to Sell
Want to Buy
Group Buys _ BLF Special Editions
Group Buys _ Negotiated Deals
If that is asking too much, can I simply request pulling out the BLF User Negotiated Deals from under the Commercial Seller’s Spot and into the general category. I mean, there’s already recognition of this need by the embedded link (short cut) in the description of the the Commercial Sellers’ Spot. And shouldn’t the two group items be paired, one right next to each other, for people to easily find them?
This is the way that recommendation would look, without any name changes, just simply reorganized:
Budget Flashlight Buy/Sell
Budget Dealer Experiences
BudgetLightForum Deal Alerts
BLF Special Edition Products
BLF User Negotiated Deals
Want to Sell
Want to Buy
Commercial Sellers’ Spot
I’m not the only one having difficulty navigating to the new BLF User Negotiated Deals section.
