It’s interesting, will take some getting used to. Still learning the ropes. Is there dark theme for it?
It’s like andruil just click on stuff … hmm I wonder what 19 clicks does .
I got nervous when I couldn’t even figure out how to post a comment
Yes. Click on your avatar (top right)
Go down the menu and click on “your profile”
Click on Preferences
Then click on Interface in the next page
Choose BLF Light or BLF Dark in the Color Scheme section.
Thanks for pointing out the dark theme–like that much better.
My eyes thanks you!
Where can I go to now for “My Subscriptions” ?
Ugh why did anything have to change? It was great the way it was
The dark mode is much nicer for me.
The old formato was better. I hate new one.
I vote for old one too
There’s no way back. It is a completely new system and it was planned for months.
Hi,
Is there a way to get new post count on all topics like before? I know “watching” a thread will show new count but I want to see new count for all topics by default.
Thanks.
There is a learning curve, but I think this is an excellent update. The dark theme and mobile friendliness are great additions that were sorely needed. I’ve never used a forum powered by Discourse, and I was initially lost with the page navigation and the placement of the buttons. But now that I’ve given myself some time to learn the interface, I think this is a huge improvement over the previous site.
Yes, it’s modern and much faster/responsive. All things change… ![]()
You could try setting all categories as “tracking” here: BudgetLightForum.com - Where Frugal meets with Flashlight!
Then they should show up with a new posts counter and under the “unread” tab. But new threads are not in “unread”, so make sure to check “latest” as well.
My eyes thank you, too.
I’ve noticed some kind of “memory” behavior kicking in after viewing posts. If I back out of a thread, and go back in, it automatically scrolls to the next post in the thread from where I stopped scrolling. Additionally, if I go to ‘last reply’ in a thread, leave the thread and come back later, it defaults to last reply post. This is from an Android phone, and it doesn’t matter if I’m logged in or not. I think I like it.
what do i not like?
single line topics when scrolling
cannot quote the post you are replying to
Hi there, “single line”, could you explain that a bit more please?
Actually it is possible, and gives more options than the old forum. Either select a part of a post and hit the QUOTE button, or use the “Quote whole post” button.

I think he means the more “information-dense” layout that classical forums have. That’s about the only thing that’s really a bit worse with discourse but oh well, you get used to it.
ok
sort of impossible to guess that beforehand!
that’s what i meant
so that is not possible?
