BYC Software Update 2025

The badges were a little small on profiles and member tooltips. I made an adjustment to that which is why you're seeing it fine now.

I don’t like the new “like” reaction at all. Reminds me of facebook.

I can't see anything to the right of my image. Black on red doesn't work when you're colour blind. Sorry.

That looks to be some sort of dark mode the browser is doing? As far as I know it's not something we can control. There is a dark style on here you can use.

Just me being picky but I liked when the number "0" on threads that haven't been replied to yet were a bright white on the dark theme so that it caught my eye and led me to click on the unanswered thread.

Now it's just gray and blends in.

Looking at the old code, they were always white no matter how many replies or read/unread. They were not links before, which is why it's changed now. I'll look into an adjustment here though.

seeing who and where notifications are from in dark mode is really difficult

Working on this...

How about collapsing certain forums? That function is no longer there.

Although there do seem to be some potential issues, I appreciate all the time and effort that was put into trying to improve the site!

So far, things on my end look pretty good. It is going to get some getting used to, but I'm fine with that. I am going to miss the year tags. I loved seeing those. I guess for my complaints, I'll share them here:

Old:

New:

I thought the home screen looks fine with all its new fancy updates, but on the Featured Content, the images are kinda smashed together whereas before, they were separated.

Next, for dark mode, the reply box kinda blends in:

And lastly for what I've noticed so far, on the DMs, the names of people in them blends in too much on the unread ones. It's not an issue on the read ones, so it's the brightness of the "unread" that makes the names hard to read:

Except for my first complaint, none of these new things are a big issue for me. I don't really like them, but in a couple of weeks, I won't even notice.

A positive change I'm already noticing, is my screenshots are actually uploading first try! I'm going to give it some time, but I'm thinking the issue I've been having might have been solved with this update!
