I hate to rain on that battery parade, but being the cynic I am makes it impossible not to.
The charger is a 70ma charger on a 700mah battery. At the very least that means twelve hours to charge it back up, and that assumes direct, maximum, brilliant, sunshine. Reality would probably be on the order of eighteen to twenty hours. Now I realize that it can be charged before complete discharge but in emergency situations that probably wouldn't happen and would also require a number of them to maintain functionality of whatever device the batteries are powering. That problem gets worse if powered device is operating with more than one battery. In a "mobile" environment charging would become rather problematic although instead of a tin foil hat you could use a battery hat.

They are working on the color issues. They had a choice - shut the forum down for two days and then tweak it or shut the forum down for a month and come back with a finished product. Me, I prefer two days and having patience through the tweaking / finalizing stages.
Just my opinion...

The whole forum is too white white, not just PM's.
Agreed. The whole forum is blinding me. I was also referring to someone saying that there is a problem with sending PM's. Haven't PM'd anyone yet, so I don't know about that.
It would be nice if they used a banner at the top of the page to announce changes/tweaks when they become active.
Yup. I'm just amazed that all is working as well as it is considering the short period of time that ECF was down.
PM's work fine, but you may have a problem replying to a PM received prior to the software upgrade. It seems to work for some and not for others. The exact reason seems a little hazy right now.
The problem with PM's / Conversations now is old PM's from the old forum - not new PM's. They are working on it to see what they can do - it primarily affects the buyers and sellers in the Coops and stuff.
pffff.
Just a start, what if it's lithium? I prefer justa solar panel to charge different things.
Yeah, they changed it to this ugly thing.They are working on a darker scheme. Yeah, the white is kinda glaring. The color of the quote box would be soothing on the eyes then they could make the quote box a little darker so it would stand out.
What PM problem? I miss that smiley with the ??? above his head.
Not really liking the stock Xenforo imojis. Glad they kept most of the old ones.
is my favorite one. Describes me on so many occasions.

Nice seeing you here, Raven
Hate the caterpillar infestation. So nasty. We had a tent caterpillar infestation in Seattle when I was a kid. Awful.

A lithium battery will charge faster than the charger can supply current? The basic problem is solar charging and the fact that under anything other than perfect, optimum, conditions the output of a solar cell is not what it is rated at. That may not be true in Greece, more sunshine closer to the equator, or on top of Mount Everest (unless it sank from that earthquake), but here in SNJ cloud cover is almost always present and limits their output significantly.
Now that's a really powerful earthquake! I hadn't heard that and when you consider the mass of Mount Everest and the surrounding country side it's a stunning fact.
@tmcase , in your Inbox, look at the LAST pic I sent you.
