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

Superb new feature!! thank you very VERY Much SB ;)

SB,

I stayed away from this thread for a few days as I know you have an insane backlog of “little things” to resolve. Great progress in the last few days!

Excruciatingly well done!

Provided you have evolved beyond the need for sleep all BLF glitches should be resolved in 28 days, 06 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds. :beer:

Confidentially, he has advised us that it will be finished by midnight tonight (US Eastern time & date) ;)

When you’re on a roll, it’s hard to stop.

Thank you sb!!

sb56637, thanks for all the work you put into this. Having just opened my forum to the public I know at a small level how much work is involved. Took me building my forum using 3 different forum apps before I found one that worked. Then having to go through and lock everything down and close all the security gaps (fingers crossed). Then…finding a nice level of registration that keeps bots and spam out while allowing real registrations in. Still working on that one. And I still have hardly any ‘real’ members…lol…most are fake accounts generated by me to at least get some content in there. Most of my threads are just me talking to myself. Got in a couple of arguments too.

Anyway, thanks for all the time, work, and $ invested so we can blow all our time, work, and $ on this hobby.

:smiley: I know how that goes!

sb, you put up with a heckuva lot around here, and we appreciate what you do. :)

I don't know how much BLF sponsors pay for advertising, but I hope it's a lot! :cash:

:slight_smile: You guys have put up with plenty too, I really do appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding thus far; it’s been considerably less stressful for me thanks to that.

Wow, this feature is fantastic! I can’t begin to count the number of times I’ve sorta halfway remembered reading something in a thread but can’t find it again. Then the needle-in-a-haystack search begins loading pages of the thread one at a time and Ctrl-F’ing my way through it. This is great!

SB have you ever considered setting up a “tip jar” or any other way to donate to you and/or blf? I know you have ads and I hope they pay well, but I bet some of us would contribute directly, especially when you give us awesome stuff like that! :slight_smile:

I’m sure a lot of you would, and I really do appreciate the generosity and good will. But I personally never feel comfortable on websites with a donation button staring me in the face, so I don’t want to do that to BLF visitors. I just request that those who want to help to please disable their ad blockers for BLF, that’s all. :beer:

Thank you so very much! I was lost, but now I’m found!

Nice new touches, too. More information is displayed, making it even more useful than before.

Great job, SB! :beer: :beer: :beer:

OMG!

Will wonders never cease! :crown:

THANKS SB !! …makes it so nice to know where a poster is especially when they sound off about shipping issues or US Sale Only threads etc, etc.

I’ve already used it several times now… Like, I heard wight made a new driver, and this let me find the thread. It also showed me the story behind a veteran member retiring. And it’s handy for checking what people are interested in or what contributions they’ve made (or if they only post to enter give-aways). Also handy for finding that one picture Dale posted somewhere, or finding the previous time I answered the same question so I can paste it or link to it. Etcetera.

+1

Another great feature restored. Thanks for your hard work, SB!!!

Cool, glad it’s working so far.

Looks like I automatically subscribe to every thread I post in.

Any way to disable that?

Raccon city’s got jokes? :wink: Isn’t that the way the forum previously behaved, pre-update? This is definitely the way I prefer it to operate.

Yep, http://budgetlightforum.com/user/251/edit/subscriptions
