[07-MAR-2016] Current status of BLF upgrade process

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. :smiley:

Cheers! :beer: :beer: :beer:

Great to have you all back too. Thanks!

Yes, that option doesn’t seem to be available anymore, my apologies.

Ah thanks, only thing I have not checked :slight_smile:

So finally my lack of knowledge contributed something to the knowledge base of BLF community :smiley:
Thanks a bunch again! :slight_smile:

Aaaaaaand not working again on the pc. Any thoughts? Should it right itself with time?

It seems petty of me to thank TK and Finges in a thread about SB doing huge amounts of work to update the forum that I have come to enjoy and spend ridiculous amounts of time on. But I will start with a HUGE thanks to SB for the obviously large amount of work that has been done to upgrade the site. And follow up with a thank you to ToyKepper and Finges for enabling me to make it so much easier to read with Stylish and the stylesheet.

It looks good! Much improved appearance over the old version. Not that I disliked the old site. But this one feels more modern. Good work, and thank you!

Works on my laptop. Not on my Desktop. Liking it so far.

Alright, I think I got the email configured as legit as I can make it in the eyes of the email providers. Even so, AOL, Yahoo, and Hotmail/Outlook/Live users may find some BLF messages in the SPAM folder until those providers get used to us. Please let me know how it works for you.

I also set up a interim system for getting email notifications on threads you really want to keep an eye on. This feature is only temporary until I have time to set up a better system. It includes a list of “Watched” threads, but please continue using the http://budgetlightforum.com/my-subscriptions page to keep track of important posts.

SB, the work you do here is awesome, and thanks for all you did on this upgrade.

For the next update, would we be able to get a NW or WW theme? Would the possibility of reverse clicky buttons be an option too? Lol, just kidding around, thought I would continue the appreciation with some humor…

Ha! When you said “NW” the first thing I thought of is ToyKeeper’s browser themes to override our default color scheme. :slight_smile:

As long as we’re asking for upgrades here, I may as well ask if it’s possible to make the front page (Recent Posts) auto-refresh every few seconds so I don’t have to hit my browser refresh button. If so, it might be great to make it switchable, so if someone doesn’t want it to auto-refresh, they can leave it turned off. :wink:

Hmm, I can’t really think of an easy way to do that from the server side. However there are browser extensions that do just that.

Adding my thanks to SB for his hard work in keeping this forum alive and well!

Looks like we got some new smilies to go along with the update?

:clapping:

I see new nav buttons! Great job Mr. Admin!

I’m not sure, but I’ve seen websites that have continually refreshing info. The shoutbox on your BlogSpot page was auto-refreshing. :wink:

I miss the old smileys. :cry:
Especially the ghost and the melted :weary:
