Glad you were able to 1) first find the bug, and 2) find the solution. Bugs on unique or rare scenarios are often a huge pain to resolve

They do show up there

Nice! Appreciate you confirming.

For sure.
But is it possible to fix these bugs so that they show up when viewing all?

Hi there, I don’t think there’s any bug. How did you originally determine what was the oldest PM on Discourse? Did you search for it or just repeatedly scroll down the list of PMs? Since it’s an infinitely scrollable list of PMs (no pages) it’s just a matter of lots of scrolling until you reach the oldest PM, and since that’s not really practical, searching PMs before or after a specific date seems like the proper way. Of course you can also now do a full text search of your PM titles and/or message bodies, or you can search for all PMs by a specific user like I showed you.

I clicked on messages and scrolled down to the very end.
Also the issue of Toykeeper’s messages not showing up either.

They all seem to be there but having to run custom searches to find them and not all being on the screen of messages/inbox is the bug.

Is there a skin to make the new forum visually simple like this forum?

I’d be happy to give up upvote ability for it

I’d actually say that objectively speaking the new forum is much simpler/cleaner in its design than what we have here. Whether that’s a good thing or not is entirely subjective, although I also tend to prefer more traditional designs myself. However the current theme on the new forum is the most traditional one I can find that shows the most information at first glance.

I am still trying to figure it out. If you can toss a recent posts link on the top right that would be great.
I do appreciate your attempts to find the most simple interface even though its not as good as here.

Could you please confirm if you checked both the message “Inbox” as well as the “Sent” messages folder?

Did you try clicking on the site logo or the budgetlightforum.com in the header at the top left?

OK, the problem seems to have been resolved. (Not within my control unfortunately.) Attempting to re-enable email sending so you can reset your passwords. Remember to use your registered BLF email address, not your BLF username.

IMPORTANT: Please do NOT create a new account with a new email address.

If you’re still having trouble resetting your password please send an email to this address:

Success! Good job @sb56637

[bobvoeh]

I was able to use the Password Reset and logged in fine. Great job!

It looks like Yahoo / AOL / Verizon email haven’t updated their records yet and are rejecting email from this new server. I’ll let you know when to try again.

[raccoon]

Hey, the new forum/website works!

[Scallywag]

budgetlightforum.com is now directing here for me
Also, I’m getting emails fine with gmail.

[GDF]

I reset password and logged in to new BLF. No issues here.

I immediately switched to dark theme. Looking good so far, and I like the mobile friendly interface.

[raccoon]

@GDF

I immediately switched to dark theme.

Same here.
The dark theme looks amazing.
The light theme seems to have too much contrast, but I’m not going to use light theme so it’s a non-issue for me.

[sb56637]

Flashlight afficionados using a dark theme… I’ll never understand it.

[GDF]

It is only in darkness that we can enjoy the light lol

[MtnDon (Don Miller)]

Well, here I am. And there ya’ll are…

Flashlight afficionados not pointing LEDs at themselves… is what I’d expect. Dark theme all the way!

Btw, the “BLF” heading/link at the top left has a blue highlight when in a thread. Intentional?

More or less, it’s just a picture.

[MtnDon (Don Miller)]

I went with “Dark” too. At least for a while. I use dark on most devices that offer it as long as it remains easy to see/use.
