BYC's Software Conversion - Discussion & Information

[Sherol]

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

I have an LG but scrolls like crap on my Lenovo tablet. Nothing smooth. I get page not found as well. When I type there is a delay to show on screen and it will just start deleating when I'm no where near keyboard..adds also taking up way too much space. As stated..2 different devices. Same issues. Don't give a flip about cool new features when the basics not there. At this time worth fighting an app when I don't have these issues anywhere else.

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.

Ooo just stumbled upon this!
Not sure if 'showcase items' are the 'reviews'....lets hope so!

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.

maybe wait until the conversion is completely done, i know they are still working out a bunch of kinks

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

in your newsfeed it tells you what they are doing, all their posts etc. i will prob never actually look at my news feed but i do have a couple people that post some really awesome information that i refer to, so its nice to be able to access it quickly

that sounds more like the operating system not BYC, once the site is done i would recommend getting a GFM (golden feather membership) with that you can turn off the adds which helps greatly improve the functionality of the site

Yup, you had "two step" turned on, so I turned it off for you

i didnt even know that was an option

Yes, showcase is reviews

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!

Morning Aart!!!
Just thought I'd let you know that I'm no longer "stalking" your attachments page, but I now have no attachment page at all. Came across at least one other member that had someone else's page too. Just another "hiccup" that Nifty has assured me they are working hard to iron out. So glad I backed up all my important pics anyway, just in case.

Just discovered something else....regardless of whether I click on the 'newest unread post' dot or the thread title it takes me to the newest unread post.
This is working from the all watched threads list or a subforum list.
Just an observation.

Since we know attachments are a work in progress,
I am not even bothering with them at this point....
....sometimes ya just gotta wait.

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.

I was shocked when I saw that I had followers, and yeah, it's a litte creepy, so I think I'm gonna follow all of you (insert evil laugh here).
