The thumbs up icon looks like an emoji now!!

PC.

It got fixed.

I realise the number of years on the site badges aren't showing but this isn't system wide, so it must be a bug?

We raise chickens for dual purpose. Our first flock was just a few layers, but we added some larger birds to start breeding for meat as well. Then I saw a Turken and did a double take. I thought someone crossed a turkey with a chicken; I wanted a dozen! They were so ugly they were cute. Unfortunately Igor didn't find them at all attractive and said no way. My whole family thought I was crazy, so I gave up.

After losing a few of those bigger birds to heat during the summer, I was able to convince Igor that Turkens would be a good fit despite their appearance. Not only do...

Very cool! I figured it out.

Memories of Summer—2025
Ends October 5th, 2025​

What did you do over the summer on your farm or residence? Did you add a new species of poultry or livestock and how did that go? Did you build a new coop or barn, we would love to see photos! 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...

The software adds the text in yellow:

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

This is a phone setting, which I also use/used. It's quite disappointing that I have to turn it off now or stop using BYC on my phone if I want to still use it for other sites, cause I'm not going to be turning on and off just so I can actually use this site. I WAY prefer this setting to the BYC's dark mode and was using it before BYC even had a dark mode. It's sad but an isolated "issue".

A side note: When using the display avatar setting for PMs, they show up sort of buggy. I don't remember them being so huge.

I noticed the title bar is blue now.

Am I going crazy or did there used to be a bell next to the report and a pencil next to the edit? It feels like something is missing
