Dang your quick! To be honest I'm not certain right off there bat. I have the BYC set to my homepage on my phone. I just tap the icon to get on here. Let me see if I can find out what browser it's using

Don't know if it's been brought up, it's too hard to read threads the way it's coming up for me on my phone so I gave up trying.
Anyway, I'm on a Samsung Galaxy s10. It looks like it's not coming up in a mobile view. It's oversized and running past the right side of the screen. I'm attaching some images for you too see.

Even as I'm typing this the view is scrolling back and forth past my view. I can use my fingers to punch it into view, but when I do the text is too small for my old eyes!

Try switching to "desktop" mode...that's what I do when on my mobile...it works just fine. In mobile mode, it does not work.

I love this...the BYC tab in my browser shows the alerts, so I can see them when on another website.

I wonder if this is the 'push notification'?
Are you on a laptop @DuckLady ?

I’m on an old Apple IPhone. Yes the screen is a bit more narrow but I haven’t tried to change settings or anything. It works for me.

I looked for that option first, but I can't seem to find it. Where would it be by chance?

Those aren't push notifications, but I agree that they are a nice feature.

I don’t have the logo on the banner anymore, and the box of threads at the bottom of the page (recommenced, popular, new, etc.) are gone too. Other than that, everything seems to be working! Good job!View attachment 2002032

the box is back!

We've gone through several site changes, and they have all been necessary. We have found that people tend to adopt the changes over time, even though it is usually a bit rough for the first few days. We had to switch from Huddler to XenForo in 2017 to keep BYC online, as Huddler was shutting down, and we had to switch from XenForo 1 to XenForo 2 today, because XenForo 1 is no longer supported, and no longer receiving security updates. We care about keeping your personal information, like email addresses and IPs private, so that's why we need to run secure software.

We had run an update on a client's site to make the submission form more easy to use and accessible. They wanted to change their document submission policy. They ended up having clients with documents that no longer fit in the submission guidelines just emailing in. When that became too difficult they switched companies. Last I heard they ended up going out of business. It was a real shame. The most important thing is to really listen to the problems people are mentioning and fix them. I know this will be a tough transition for everyone. I'm just afraid we will loose some of our good people

Just adjust your text size.

Is there going to be a "fix" down the road or am I always going to have keep switching the brightness and text sizing and? back and forth on my laptop whenever I get on and off BYC now? I understand totally that no change will ever be perfect, but, that could just become enough of an irritation down the road to become a deal breaker. Wish now I had known sooner about the upgrade, wisdom would have warned me to delay renewing my premium membership.

Not panicking (yet?), but just to let y'all know in case it hasn't been noticed... It appears as if a lot of the images from before May 16, 2017 (the changeover to Xenforo) are broken in posts!
