BYC Software Update 2025

Yah. I can type the code but if I hit enter it'll put it on the next line.

I didn't hit enter. I just typed the code, click the dropdown screen to choose it, and it puts it in a new line.

I didn't accept the dropdown.

Were there equipment breakdowns at the most inopportune time, (tractors, haybalers, front end loaders) and how did you go about fixing them? Did you take a vacation to get away for a spell and where did you go? Or did you just pull...

I'm still trying to figure out how you did that... Copy and paste what link from where? I tried where I thought you said, but it didn't work.

You can now choose if you want to display the badges you've earned

So a few new things I'm noticing... When you do highlight to quote, it looks different depending if it's just text or if there's an image.

Text only:

With image:

I'm still not getting it.

I tried the share button, and that didn't work:

This might be something simple, but I still don't know what you are meaning.

There seems to be an issue with posting pictures.
Several folk are having pictures rotated sideways. But not everyone.
It may be different based on whether using phone or PC.

I saw this on someone's flock thread. It looks like it's happening with portrait pictures (not landscapes)? From experiences on other sites, I've seen this as a problem with portrait pictures before, but this is a first for me seeing it on BYC.

It is definitely a new issue.
The thread I linked to is picture heavy and we all post pics all the time and yes, I think you may be right that they are Mainly portrait because they are mainly taken with phones.
