Everything takes so long to load on the new BYC

I'm having the same issues. I'm sure it will start acting right soon. It's taking me a while to get used to the new look. I really didn't like it at first but it's starting to grow on me.

 

My son just switched me to fire fox in hopes that it would speed things up. In a way it did, it takes less time after I click on something for the page to load, but things like your frustrated emoticon scream in s-l-o-w-m-o-t-i-o-n.
And everything is really jerky. the scroll bar hangs up worse with fire fox than XP.
I will try the google chrome next, but I am going to do a few other things before I bail on BYC.
I am going to give the site some time to work the bugs out, try google chrome, and get some more ram or computer guts. ( 'go juice' for bytes and bits and stuff.)

Don't give up on BYC. We love it, we just need to be patient.

 

Here is an article to help: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/speed-up-your-byc

There are some things suggested in the thread that may be helpful for you.

 

I used to check in on my phone throughout the day. I was off and on here all the time. With the new format, it takes so long to load on my phone that I don't bother. Still works fine on my home computer though.

 

There is a new app available for mobile users: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/620674/byc-now-available-on-tapatalk/0_50

 

Firefox is better by far. Also, my kids told me not to use Internet Explorer, you get more viruses with it???

 

I've been told that too, so I use firefox. It's pretty quick on my computer. Love the avatar!

 

Wow, I personally LOVE the new BYC!! Great job to everyone involved who put so much time and work into this!! I can tell it's going to take a while to fully get used to it and learn everything, but I love the fresh new look and all of the convenient features. A note to anyone having issues with load time - I use Google Chrome and it works great. I have a decent computer as far as it's speed and everything, but my service provider isn't really all that fast to be honest. I have always been a big advocate of Google Chrome though for how fast it loads pages! I would recommend to ANYONE having trouble with load time that they give it a try. It's very easy to install and navigate and it literally takes minutes. Of course, it's also FREE and there's no risk involved. If you don't like it, you delete/remove the program is all Hope everyone else learns to love the new site and has patience while the bugs are worked out!
