About the BLF Site-related Issues category

How are we doing? Please post here your comments and questions about the site.

While I’m not nearly as tech savvy as most internet users, I have nevertheless found that navigating this new format and its UI isn’t overly difficult. I’m also finding it rather intuitive to find what I need to know without having to post a question.

On my 8" Android tablet, the layout does feel a bit cluttered, which can make it easy to miss something I’m looking for, but I’ll adapt soon enough.

I must congratulate ā€œsbā€ for a job well done, and for maintaining your ever-present diplomacy & grace when confronted with the initial onslaught of complaints, especially the unnecessary whining from a few with no real skin in the game.

I’ll bet that the amount of work that you put into this latest project must have been overwhelming, so I hope you’ll be taking some well-deserved time off to relax and recharge your Li-Ion internal batteries!

As always, I appreciate you (ā€œsbā€) for making this ā€˜free resource’ available for us. Thank you!

Thanks so much @KnotSoMuch for your kind words! I really hope that everyone will learn to enjoy the new software. It definitely wasn’t just change for the sake of change, but of course the familiarity factor of the old forum was also valuable, so I understand why some were upset.

@sb56637 , is it possible to add a black on light grey scheme? Neither light nor dark schemes are made for me. I find them both hard to read. Maybe a different font would help too, don’t really know. All I can say is that I have issues with the contrasts.

Otherwise the new features are very welcome.

Hi there @Unheard. So it sounds like the current dark theme with white text on black background has too much contrast for you? Black on light-gray would be similar to the current light theme but with slightly less contrast.

Yes and probably yes. Blue on white is irritating somehow. Don’t be bothered if I’m the only one with this problem. I’m asking just in case adding more color schemes aren’t too much of a hassle.

Yep, that’s definitely planned, at least one or two more. I’m just trying to dig out still and handle a few more pressing things first.

I can’t seem to scroll through the site. Something is blocking it on my end.

Hi there @mitsuki08 , I assume that problem happens when you don’t have the HTML inspector open too? Do you have any browser extensions that are interfering with Javascript?

Yeah I removed all my extensions and turned them on individually. Dark Reader - Chrome Web Store was causing the issue.

Is there a way to go to the last unread post in a thread? It’s one of my most used features in the old site. Wonder if it’s available here. I can only click the number of replies and go to the first and last post.

Good, thanks for confirming.

Yep, if it shows unread posts for a thread that you visited before then you can just click on it and it will take you directly to the first unread post.

Very nice format, i know it from an mma forum, i had to make a request for a new password and everything is good… !

It would much much better if we can put gifs on our Avatars… ! If we can upload a square 300 X 300 X 3kb would be o good one… and then, the system (Avatar Editor) could do all the adjustments - scale downs so it can fit them in the other applications… !

Hi there @alland , glad you made it.

That’s because you’re using the new account that you just created. It looks like this one is your original:

Please log out of your new account and request a password reset email to the email address that you originally registered your first account with. If you don’t remember the email please send me a PM.

Hi, I’ve searched around the site but can’t find any answer to my PM issue. I would send you a PM admin but can’t.
I can’t see the menu or prompt to PM users on their page. I found the ā€œcontact the adminā€ on the drop menu was just a way to PM you. But, I get an error when I use it.
Will it unlock after a certain time because I’m a new member?

Hi there @Lighburner , sorry for the trouble. Could you please post a screenshot of the error you get when you try to PM me?

The old site used to show the number of posts someone had. I am not seeing it with the new format.

On your Profile - Summary (at least on Android phone) !
