BYC's Software Conversion - Discussion & Information

[MattW]

Don't know what had happened but I hate it. On my Android phone and tablet the scroll is jerky, formatting off, search gives me everything unrelated to what I am looking for and a host of other issues. the site is now utter frustration on my devices.. what I use to access it. I will give it a few more days.. if it continues to irritate and frustrate me with use will just uninstall and be done with it.

What model of Android are you using? I'm on my S7 edge now, and it works perfectly.

That's what I have and works just fine on mine too...

Great job, btw... hang in there, the chickens will settle down their squawking about the new coop soon...

I just wanted to say "WELL DONE!" to the team behind the conversion. I can only imaging how much work / stress / coffee was involved. I love the new site.

X2 - I love most of the new features and IMO those outweigh some of the older stuff we hated to lose - but with time and experience, we won't even miss those things.

Dumb question:

Why would anyone want to "follow" someone?
BYC is the only "social media" in which I participate, so have no experience with the meaning of following someone. Under the old system we could only view followers if we also followed. But now we can see a list, I have 29 followers and only recognize a couple of members there.

Should I be getting paranoid, 'cause cannot image why anyone would follow little olde me

If there is a member you see that posts particularly good information, you can click follow and you will get all their posts in your newsfeed. What that is, I'm not sure, I'm just repeating information.

I feel ya there. Bit creepy.

Kinda creeps me out too...I have never followed anyone.
I only recognize a couple of my followers.

Tho there are couple folks who give great solid advice that I might be inclined to follow...I know I have searched for posts made by same folks on this and other forums.

What I would like to see is, who is blocking/ignoring me.....haha!

Something that's buggin me....not high on the debugging priority list I'm sure
is the red alert dealies on Articles and Reviews.

Hover tab for drop down, click 'mark read', confirm on popup....
....and it takes you to the page...SMH...NOT what I wanted.
And doesn't seem to be a check click for all alerts on pref list, just my articles.
Will live with it, just venting.

I know what you mean. Likely the article/review alerts will settle down once all the data is completed? It looks like these are filling in the missing ones?

Maybe...sometimes it's just best to wait and see, instead of deluging the tech when they are already swamped.

I do know that I updated one of my articles and it didn't come up to the top when using the 'view most recently updated first'...and I have to keep reapplying that view choice every time I go in there.

It'll get debugged.....or we'll figure out and get used to a new way of navigating the forum.<shrugs>
As my mother used to say, there are children starving in africa...in other words take a wide view, be grateful for what you DO have, and don't sweat the small stuff.
