**MULTIPLE** Sales Threads Issue

The new main page is what BLF used to be ….

Sing to the tune of ‘Yesterday’ by The Beatles

Yesterday …I could see new flashlights everyday
Now they only post if it will pay
Oh I remember yesterday

Gradually , this place wasn’t what it used to be
Shilling posts expanded rapidly
Oh I miss the fun and purity

Did it have to change , I don’t know , it went astray
It’s become so wrong now I long for yesterday

Yesterday …we were on a hobbyist pathway
Now I need to bring joy to my day

Oh , I believe we’ve found a way

Just noticed the update!

Thanks SB, IMHO that new Recent Post selection you added in the top right of the home page is a great solution to this issue.

oh em jeez, hilarious!

I could never figure out where those threads were coming from. I could understand threads on edged weapons (kinda go hand in hand with flashlights), but kitchens??

Hey, stop hating on the sweet sweet mullet…

Great solution, thanks!

Just looking at the recent posts page a couple of minutes ago using the new linky there were 0 sales threads out of 25.
That’s light.

But seriously, thanks for the option :slight_smile:

Very nice option. Thanks!

Thank you, sir! I personally don’t mind the commercial links. I got some great deals there, but great to have the option!

Mahalo!

I clicked on “not commercial” and can finally focus on threads about flashlights. I will bookmark http://budgetlightforum.com/recent-posts_not-commercial .

My favorite feature is back - Thank you SB. And thank you for all the hard work you put into this community.

Can I ask you one more request?
As most members, I often enter BLF with mobile device. Im not sure that this problem exist with PC, doesnt matter.
When page is loading, one from ad banners adresses some slow server and loading longer that whole page. When it is loaded, page is scrolled down by 1-2 lines. How does it works: Im entering forum, page is loaded, finger is going to the target link, and at this moment this f###ing banner is loaded and whole page is scrolled and I pass other link that I need. I return back and this banner is not saved so it will take a time before itll be loaded and this repietes once again as many times as I go through different threads. Im almost sure it doesnt depends from device, browser, net provider, destination country and etc. Im far from net technologies and dont know how to make it better but hope you will find the way to fix it. Thank you.

A breath of fresh air. Thank you sb!

I know there’s a link at the top of the page for the “Non-Commercial Recent Posts” page. But, how about a way to change user preferences for the “Home” page? I’m so accustomed to just hitting the “Home” button to get back to the front page. And, there are “Home” page buttons at the top and bottom of each page, so it really is the most convenient way to get there. If the “Home” page could be switched to the page of the user’s choice, that would be nice, especially now that we have TWO “Recent Posts” pages.

Well someone cried…marked my post as rude…as you can see, I’m not the only one that feels the same way :wink:

Here’s another one for moaning about it :laughing: Sorry just playin.
Thanks for starting this thread :+1:

+1!

Thanks for the thread djburkes !
:slight_smile:

Yeah, i didn’t like that BLF348 deal undercutting the’s deal either…
But i personally think Gearbest shouldn’t have made that possible.

In defence of Fin17 and r3crac, i like their topics with their clear overview (with pictures and all) of good deals, but they should limit it to coupon deals, without flash deals and without non flashlight related stuff.
Also the relentless bumps by means of seemingly irrelevant edits should stop.

@SB:
Thanks for the new homepage / bookmark options. :+1:
I now have 2 BLF bookmarks on my browser toolbar: one among the forums and one among the webshops.
However, it used to be nice to have interesting deals etcetera pop up every now and then on the main page.

In all, in my opinion the stores themselves should provide us with sweet deals, but apparently they often prefer to use affiliates.

A well-known rage-inducing phenomenon on mobile…

Sorry if one felt anoyed by me and my posts!

i also was not happy with the direction the advertising in BLF took the last weeks...

If anyone wants to share his toughts or tips please feel free to write me a PM or send me a mail!

i try to reduce the "annoying, repetitive" part of bringing you some deals in the BLF.


PS: thanks that some see me as "not as bad" as other affiliates ;)

M4D M4X & Freeme don’t bother me at all, and I’ve bought plenty from both. Just this recent rash of new guys that come out of nowhere, contribute nothing, and have no intentions to contribute anything, as the OP alluded to
