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

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.

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

The link doesn’t seem to work for me, even after changing the userid to my own.

Just tried the search within thread, great idea and it works too! Now I know where I am again as well.

Link doesn't work for me either.

If you did what the squirrel did that would probably do the trick
I could say that i miss him, but its as if he wasn’t even here :smiley:

It doesn’t seem to be enabled for regular users yet. I saw it immediately after the upgrade, but it seems to have been turned off at some point.

Oops, sorry about that, I did indeed forget to enable viewing/changing the Subscriptions setting. Should work now. Thanks!

SB, it is working OK now.

Thank you Very Much,
George

I just disabled adblock on blf. I would not mind donating also. Thanks to all

Another way to contribute is to make something and share it… :slight_smile:
