BYC's Software Conversion - Discussion & Information

[Kiki]

Honestly, if a thread had a really high number of posts unread, I'd skip them all .

I wish I could skip. I physically, or is it mentally, can not skip.
@DwayneNLiz taught me that! lol

Can you explain your question in a different way.
I am not sure what you are asking.

I'm still having scrolling issues, some days worse than others. It went from being on the New Members thread, to What breed or gender and now at "watched threads," and just any where I need to go up or down.

Even without that doing anything on BYC seems to be a lot slower than it used to be. I don't know if it's during high traffic times. But, I'm not seeing that on other types of websites.

Have you done a system defrag or you could try clearing you cookies/cache/browsing history

Have you opened the computer simply swore at it? I swear at mine all the time. I then threaten it and it is normally afraid to stop working...

Also I find a coffee bath helps keep them going strong...

Depends on the thread. If it's a subject I'm really interested in, and it's not cluttered up with a ton of jabber, then I like to see what I can learn there. For instance, I have started breeding Langshans, so I am subscribed to that thread. But I also went back to the beginning to catch up on any bits of wisdom that may be scattered throughout. I am on page 700 of about 1100 now.

But the feature was great for new short threads too:

I really miss this feature.. I have slooow internet that doesn't always load the page all the way on the first try.. before I could see if the last post had loaded or not by the number on each post... several times now I have loaded 3 times only to find I had the last post the first time,

Exactly! With my slow internet, sometimes each click to a new page has to be decided whether it's worth clicking or not.

You know what else I miss? (Also minor.) When you were on the "view subscriptions" page before, it had a little number for how many new posts had been added to each thread. So if Internet was slow, I could just wait for a higher number of new posts, instead of loading the page just to find out that someone had only said "nice photo", or "thanks". Or, if it said there were 50 new posts, and I knew I didn't have time to read that many, I could avoid that one until I did have time. Cuz clicking on it and only reading 10 posts meant that next time it would skip those other 40 and go right to posts 50 and up.

Just little things that I used to appreciate. No big deal. Eventually I will be used to new habits and not even give the old ways a thought any more.

I agree, if it's important information, I do read it all regardless of the length.
The Chat's with high numbers of post are overwhelming to me, so I just move in smaller circles

I have found one feature I do not like...

I am really trying to be positive on the change. However, I have so many of my regulars "stomping grounds" here that have lost people that just have not come back or do not like the new format...

Because of that my normal threads are not listed in the unwatched threads. I have to go to the bottom and open all watched threads then search the list for the ones I want...

I know it can be done. I am just not liking it and I am fairly sure it is one reason some have stopped posting here...


I am wondering what the number of users is like now versus a month ago before the update also..

Thanks.
