Hey there @manithree welcome to the new forum, glad to see you here.
I think there are too many āhintsā here and there all over the page. Let me see if I can get used to it.
Guys old forum I was able to click straight into most recent post.
[budgetlightforum.com/recent-posts_not-commercial]
Above was the link.
Anyway to do the same on this new version?
Hi there, āhintsā related to advertising you mean?
Hi there, after youāve read a thread the next time there are new posts it will take you directly to them.
First, I want to say that I appreciate this site and all your hard work.
The issue I was having with the text jumping doesnāt seem to be repeatable for me today, so I donāt have screenshots and maybe itās not going to be a problem.
What was happening though, is ad #3 between the first post and the replies was switching (between a wuben and skilhunt ad I think). They were different sizes, so it was causing the text to jump by a line or 2 when the switch occurred. I canāt seem to replicate it now though so perhaps it was a one-off issue.
Where am I? And what have you done with BLF? lol There sure seems to be lots of orange accents here now. Hoping to find a ādark modeā in settings.
Hereās the link for the dark mode.

Thanks RC,
I tried but I found out that light theme is better for sensitive eyes. Looking at the dark theme, white letters/dark theme will produce some side effects. Using a dark screen requires your pupils to dilate, which can make it harder to focus on the screen.
Why does eye dilation make it harder to see? When your pupils dilate, your vision becomes less clear. When your pupils constrict under bright light, your vision sharpens. Just like a camera, a smaller aperture provides greater depth of focus. For this reason, it may be more difficult for some people to clearly see screen details in dark mode.
People who have myopia or astigmatism also may experience halation (from the word āhaloā). Halation occurs when light spreads past a certain boundary, creating a foggy or blurry appearance.
In other words, white letters can appear to bleed into a black background, making it more difficult to read.
Try test by switching to dark theme and use it for 15-30 minutes and after that switch to any other white surface(wall) or any other forum with white themeā¦ Even if you donāt have any eye problems youāll see āHaloā effect in your mind(eyes)

Hi there @OneBadWolf , good to see you here! Yep, this change was a long time in coming. I know it wasnāt exactly requested or welcomed by everyone, but it was necessary, and I think it will be for the better once everyone tries using in a normal fashion. Re: a dark mode, yes there is one, let me know how that works for you. (I personally hate dark modes, so I donāt have very good taste in that respect. 
)

Itās kinda funny.
Most posts on BLF used to be about flashlights.
Now many new posts are about the new forum software (and trying to cope with it.)
Iām sure thatāll eventually change once more people are used to Discourse. 
By the way, I should be getting a new flashlight today and I canāt wait to pick it up at our mailbox!
I like playing with new toys. 
Now youāre talking! Thatās what I want to hear about.
1 Thank
This is the flashlightā¦

I ordered it with an XHP70.3 HI emitter.
Iāve never had a flashlight with that emitter, and I think Iām going to love it.

Yeah, as you said, the current talk about Discourse is temporary.
Me, Iād love to talk about some new lightsā¦ but Iām not allowed to tell anyone about them yet.
5 Thanks
Shootā¦
When I talk about a new flashlight, itās usually something anyone can buy on AliExpress.
When ToyKeeper talks about a new flashlight, itās something magical that no one in the solar system has except her. 
Sounds promising!
Well, I guess I can at least reveal a little bitā¦
ā¦ the name of the light involves a letter and a number. Possibly more than one of each! 
But TBH, I donāt actually know if itās good yet. Iāll find out soon.

Is it a new Emisar model ? Thereās the 14500 dual channel light Hank teased.
New is always interesting. Letās hope it gets a better reception than what has been going on here this week. It wonāt be everyoneās ācup oā teaā but then, nothing I can think of is.
