That's a good idea. Still... there are some flaws.

I like that idea! Sometimes really good how-to's get lost within the forums when people could be using them...

You know how we have the bold, italics, underlined, etc., buttons? I would really like there to be one for colors so we don't have to keep typing it all out.

I would love to see an acronym page. One that included chickens, meds, coop products, etc. Stuff you normally see used on BYC. I am learning and Sometimes I have to dig through several books I bought to figure out what people are talking about. Some I cannot find am totally lost. Thank you

Another smiley face--chewing on fingernails. WOuld that work well as a smiley?


WHen I finish looking thru a thread , I want to then look at the next one in line. And not go back to the first post on first page of the section

Example. I'm in incubating/hatching, found a thread on the 4th page, open the thread, add a post, go to incubating/hatching and it takes me back to the first page again. Would be nice if the system could remember where I left off on page 4.

The "GO BACK" feature just takes me to my message creating screen.

Maybe it does this and I just don't know how to manuvour (or spell)!! LOL

I would like the option to see what the status is of a PM's that was sent out: Read, Unread or deleted. This way we know why we have not gotten an answer to our PM.

I have not read all these so it may be here already but the search pages need some real improvement. First very frustrating to click a link on page 5 and return to page 1 and have to find where you were in your search. Going back should take you to the last page you are on and not the original search.

Second auctions vs threads you need to have a better way to tell the difference without going to the link and then losing your place in the search. Maybe you can add an option to search AUCTIONS or specific TOPICS. Would cut down on search times. Or list it in the search results as AUCTION or THREAD and maybe what thread it is rather than a www address.

A search within a thread would be great and or a search by user. Both would be really nice. Really hard to go through 1900 pages of a thread not to mention the ones that have 20000 posts.

I like the idea of a search with pictures only. Most of the time I want to see what the breed looks like. I also like a gallery we can post in by breed and or User. Often what to see pictures of specific users birds it is just can't find them. I would not mind making my pictures public but I would like to pick what is public and what is not when I load pics.

That is a great idea!!!! Breeds too!!! I don't know what half of the acronyms are on here!!!! Maybe we should start a thread on that!!!!!

It needs to have a link in the learning center for new comers to see first!

Check out the FAQs, just above halfway down the page there are two links to threads about the acronyms.
