BYC Personal Pages Upgrade

[Nifty-Chicken]

amamaofmany, that's a total bummer! What browser are you using?

We've not heard other reports of this, but I'll look into it.

I've got Explorer.

Its not a very old computer, and my BYC images that I uploaded are all still in the upload file.

I hope you can figure out what happened or what I did wrong! Thanks for trying to figure it out.

Do me a favor, just try to do a simple "Hello World" text test and then hit "publish" on the page and let's see what happens.

Hello world

Well that seemed to go OK!

I wonder why I lost two whole pages and pictures?​

 

[amamaofmany]

I managed to get something started and a picture in it.

Back to work while its working! so to speak...

You are doing GREAT! One thing I suggest to people making big edits is to backup their work. You can do this 1 of 2 ways:

1) Select / copy everything from your page, create a new page called "temp" or something and then in the editor just hit paste then publish changes. Then you have a backup in case something happens.

2) While in the editor you'll notice a button that says "HTML". If you click on this it will open a window with a bunch of code. You can copy that into notepad or another text editor and save it just in case you need to go back to a working copy.

Hello

I have just created my first page. Hurray!

I do have a couple of questions...

How do I make a second page??? I would like to make a coop page.
How do I view my page(s) outside of the editing tool? I just want to see how it looks so I can decide if I want to make changes.

Thank you!

Great questions.

For a second page, click the link at the top of your first page: "Add new page "

You can see your page a few ways:
You'll see a link to your page just below your Avatar picture on every one of your posts:

Hi

Thanks for the promt response!

I don't have an 'add new page' link! I only have 'how to edit' & 'upload images' on the upper left hand side.

Also, everytime I click on 'view my byc page' under my avitar (or elsehere) I am taken to the 'editior' version of the page not just the nomal view that other people see.

Thanks again!

Happy chicken mama

I just sent you a pm. See if you can access that page and if you see the "add new" link and the "edit page" link.

What browser / version are you using?
