I think it’s just that some users have empty lines in their signatures.
Sorry about that. I had budgetlightforum.com on the whitelist but not budgetlightforum.ddns.net. So, if you were using the temporary address it didn’t recognize the referrer.
It’s fixed now. At least, I think it’s fixed. Please let me know if it’s not.
The site uses a HTTP Referer check because most of my bandwidth was being used for hotlinking on random people’s blogs. At first I tried serving up a different image, an animated gif of Kermit the Frog humping a stuffed bunny, but that didn’t really help. It was funny, but didn’t improve the bandwidth situation. So instead I redirected those requests to a password-protected directory. That worked. The downside is that I have to add every domain (like BLF) to a whitelist if I actually want to host images from other sites.
Scared me for a second. Click the “all messages” tab and you should see them.
Thanks for reminding me about that, I put a big notice on the first post in this thread.
Aaahhh. BLF and a cup of coffee. What a great way to start the day! THANK YOU.
Everyone likes a Free Upgrade
Thank Yo for all your hard work!!!
BTW, if anyone is interested, I’ve mostly updated the BLF stylesheet for the Chrome “Stylish” extension.
This basically re-themes BLF to make it a little easier on dark-adjusted eyes — a dark theme instead of the default bright white theme. I put the files up here:

… and here is an example of how it looks (click for full size):
It’s not complete yet, but it’s getting there. There are a bunch of little details I haven’t chased down, like why there’s a big blank spot at the left side. Someone else wrote this originally, I updated it a bit, then after today’s site upgrade I had to update it quite a bit more. So, I’m not totally familiar with every line of CSS… but it mostly works.
Thanks a lot
That big blank spot is where the ad should be. Are you running an ad-blocker?
I’m apparently having DNS issues. In my work computer and phone on wifi (home and work wifi) the “slow dns” link just redirects back to the same “we’re back” splash page. I can’t get to blf at all.
On my phone on LTE everything is working perfectly
I imagine it’s because Google hasn’t adapted to our new IP address yet.
Normally the Adsense banner will go farther down, I just haven’t had time to set up our sponsor’s normal banners in their normal positions yet.
Some routers keep a local DNS cache that may be slow to update. There’s probably a feature to flush and renew that cache in the admin panel but its probably easier to just pull the plug and reboot them.
Awesome Job! Thank you for your dedication and perseverance!
Ahhh! It’s so good to be HOME! 
Now working on my work computer… for the moment
I’m not able to find the thread tools options where we can change the number of posts per page. It used to be at the bottom of every thread. Is anyone else having the same issue?
Thanks SB! Looking good. I do a lot of IT work myself so I feel your pain. I have a lot of poking around to do. I actually never thought the text was too small but now that I see the difference I like it!
I hope the rest all goes well. Man it’s nice to be back.
Not that the little shoutbox wasn’t fun but this is a lot homier.
Cheers! 
Great to have you all back too. Thanks!
Yes, that option doesn’t seem to be available anymore, my apologies.
