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.

Hey, the new forum/website works!

[Scallywag]

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

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.

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.

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

[GDF]

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

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.

Ah, it’s an image with a blue background, that’s why. Meanwhile, the 3 flashlights picture has a transparent background.
Anyway it’s not a big deal. More than enough work for one day!

I like how this thread is stickied:

Welcome to the new BudgetLightForum.com!

All users will need to request a password reset email for the new forum. Just click on Login > I forgot my password, and then enter the email address that you used to register your original BLF account. The new forum engine allows logging in with your registered email address in addition to your username. Logging in with your email address is the recommended option because your old username may have been slightly modified (spaces removed, etc.) If you’re still having trouble resetting your pas…

That’s pretty useful for any big announcements.

We can post pictures directly now?

It looks like the problem has been resolved with Yahoo email and possibly with AOL / Verizon / Charter too. Please give it another try. Thanks for your persistence!

[raccoon]

I see a possible (small) problem.
Any post on Discourse must be at least 20 characters.
What if I just want to post an emoji?
I can’t do that right now.

[sb56637]

Try again please, I reduced it.
