I just installed an upgrade of tin on my FreeBSD machine

 
manual build from upstream source or used the ports package?

Used synth to build local package repository from ports,
then pkg upgrade.

I can't say anything about the ports package, but I had no issues
building and running tin from source on FreeBSD 15.0 (with and
without a carried over tinrc).

I'm running 13.3 in its last days,about to go to 13.4.
 

and suddenly every post I make has a blank "From:" line
I have to fill in,did configurations get wrecked?

 
there are many ways to configure From inside tin; the usual suscpects
are mail_address in tinrc, from in attributes (see tin(5) and tin(1)),
if none of these are set a fallback of username@[hostname.]domainname
shall kick in (some parts can be set a compile time thers eben at runtime).
 
I'd start with inspecting your tinrc. e.g.
        grep -E "^mail_a" ${TIN_HOMEDIR:-"$HOME"}/.tin/tinrc
and if unset set your (name and) address there. This can be done from
inside tin via the 'M'enu or when tin is NOT running by editing the file
directly.

Will check these.
