Thanks for those specifics. Some of them we're in the process of reviewing and trying to resolve... some are (as you mentioned) a bit more user-specific and subjective.

Exactly , I am referring to my own user experience.

The circular avatars ever so slightly don't fit my avatar's borders and it makes me die a little inside.

Take a look at mine.

Well, it's been almost a week...
...change is hard, but I've worked thru, or around, most the differences.

I keep thinking of chickens not liking change and the fuss they can make when one happens.
Crack myself up a good laugh can take the edge of of frustration.

Kudos to the staff, and all the helpful members, for all their hard work dealing with this change.

I too don't care for the circular avatars but it is something that we as individuals can cure the ones that are being cut off poorly. Just remake your avatar as a circular avatar yourself and you will then control how the avatar is edited.

I don't even remember what the old version was like. I just embraced the new version as a step forward, not backward.

Thanks for everyone's patience as we put in a bunch of midnight (and 1,2,3,4, etc. am) oil into updating the forum software.

... we now ask for patience as we continue to find and tweak things as we find them. There are about 24,465 levers and knobs that we're bopping, twisting, and pulling to make everything nice and perfect for the (literally) millions of BYC visitors that come and hang out with us each and every month!!!

Please take a look around and let us know if you see things that are broken. Feel free to also make suggestions on things that could be changed to make BYC better. I can't promise we'll change them, but we'll listen and evaluate every request! Keep in mind that it's just hard to please all the people all the time... especially a few million of them

OH, and please point out your favorite new features and tools!

... but yeah, also PLEASE BE PATIENT with us as we continue to make adjustments

Thanks for being awesome members of BYC!!

------------A FEW OF PEEP'S FAV NEW FEATURES----------


Fun new reactions:

Picture resizing on-the-fly:



The ability to "jump" to any page in a long thread:



The ability to type emojis right from your phone:


Additional Notes:

• Easier Image Uploading
• Conversations, bookmarks, editor, and other improvements
• Push notifications & Browser notifications
• Ad Placements / issues with ad-blockers

The new format for jumping to any page in a long thread is amazing. This is going to save me a ton of time. I kind miss the simplicity of the old design but it wasn't practical.I read old threads like books. There's a lot of knowledge on this forum and the chat threads are addicting. Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming keeping up with people but still good. Great job to all who took time out of their day to help create this update! The only problem I have found is when you go to click on emojis it removes your placement in a sentence and places the emoji at the end of your paragraph. This is especially annoyng if you want to add emojis after you proof read your paragraph. I don't know how you would fix this, I guess pull more knops and press more buttons

I'm slowly getting my little pea brain around the changes but I do like the new layout now.

I have a couple of questions that may have already been answered in this thread but I just don't have time to read the whole thing so I apologize in advance if they've already been asked and answered.

1- Will we get back the post "#X of #X" again instead of just the post number of a thread?

2- We used to display both New Posts and New Threads on the Home page. Am I just not finding where the New Threads are?

Thanks.

Can someone answer these two questions?

Hi guys,

I have a new problem. If I log out of BYC I'm unable to log in here

I have to go into a thread and use the link at the bottom to login or register to reply to thread. This started yesterday. I've cleared my cookies, history and cache and still no luck.
