Mine gets to 1% regularly and I constantly play “will it die before I get to the charger?”

I always expected you to be a "watcher" of my albums. I don't get an alert when someone watches an album but I believe there might be somewhere to see who is watching them.

When your pictures showed up in that new media thingy I could tell they were your pictures because your pictures have certain "je ne sais quoi" to them. Kind of the same way I can spot a Charlie Russel of Frederick Remington painting.

A slow one which in the past year has become even slower due to some ignorant outfit's need to emit a conflicting signal nearby.

Bummer....little to no cell signal here, DSL is either on or off.

I do not and will not have a mobile phone of any kind. But, cell phone service here should be great with the massive cell tower they have on top of the hill.

My complaint is not about the slow service, rather why they felt the need to replace a perfectly unobtrusive busy signal with an annoying and repulsive flashing line.

Being on a slow Internet connection, I found the previous busy signal subtle and unobtrusive. The new red brown streaking across just under the header is beyond annoying and disgusting.

Huh. That's wierd. It's always been a light blue, blue sideways barbers pole kinda bar in same place as you described.... Maybe it's a color that's part of your devices desktop or browser theme.... I've played with this stuff in the past and found the details can be changed. Especially in mozilla's Firefox with all those add-ons...

I've learned the hard way about our mind numbingly fast DSL connection ......(dramatic pause) typically 2.5-3.2MB/s even though it's called 3.5 or 4.5MB/s.... Were out in tier 3/4(I forgot which # as we have too n ring wire from the 40' & 50's in the ground out here STILL and no signs for switching to the fibre they have been installing over the last 10+years - all around us.
Cell towers are actually line of sight less than 3 miles from us (4-5 towers) and best is sometimes 3-4 out of 5 bars (shrugs).

That button doesn't work. I'm told I have to enable cookies to login there. Didn't have to before the update...

This can happen for a handful of reasons. It seems pretty isolated to your device because we're not getting flooded with other people with the same settings having the same issue.

This can often happen if something is stopping scripts from loading properly. Poor connections, ad-blockers, and other addons etc.

If anybody else is having the issue or we can duplicate it somehow, we could maybe find a fix. You could try another browser or device or clear cache, etc. to test different things to see if you can isolate the cause.

Been gone since the 2017 migration to new platform(this one was just an upgrade n same platform)...I still really miss that function.

Yup, me too. We'd like to find a developer that can reproduce the feature without it breaking things or costing a gajillion $$.

Try charging your phone up a little and move to a spot with better reception. I noticed my tablet and phone do this sometimes.

Same as above: "

Well, that's what I was curious about....waht kind of Internet service do you have that would give a busy signal on your screen......dial up?

It does not have anything to do with the Internet other than the fact that I have a slow connection. This issue is specific to BYC and does not occur with any other sites not related to BYC. If you have a fast connection, you will never see BYC's busy signal.
