BYC's Software Conversion - Discussion & Information

[Nifty-Chicken]

Will it be mobile friendly?

Yes, the new site's design will be automatically "responsive", so you can move fluidly through desktop, mobile, tablet, etc!

Sounds great! Thanks for letting us know, Nifty! I do have a question though...since there will be no comments in ovations, does it mean the comments people have received here will disappear?

Unfortunately, at least for the short-term, yes. We'll still have this data, but not an easy way to display it. It's on our todo list, but in the interim, we suggest that you copy all the ovation comments you've received. Maybe copy/paste them into an email to yourself, take a screenshot, etc.

Will the new forum will be with that depressed khaki color?

Hahah! Yup, you almost won't be able to tell that you're on the new site it will look so horribly similar

. We definitely want to decrease the "I HATE CHANGE" factor as much as possible, and that includes keeping the look and feel as similar as possible.

Will Huddler still be in use ?

No, they are closing down their platform, which is what is necessitating the move.

I dont see a way to do spoilers on BYH, how can we 'hide' grotesque images??

Yup, see here: https://www.backyardherds.com/threa...rs-during-conversion.35850/page-3#post-492488

Mr. Nifty, I think it would be good to feature this thread on the home page... above the banner!

Yup, we'll do that soon!

I'm so exited to see the new website! I don't know what I'll do with no BYC for a few days.... maybe just sit on a couch with a bag of chips and watch a movie for a week.

Change is scary - but we'll all be fine. Just slight withdrawal.
