Features We Like

[casportpony]

I keep think about all of the new features and how much I like them, so I thought I'd start this thread.


"Today's birthdays" feature is pretty cool. https://www.backyardchickens.com/members/

Nice idea!

I personally think that the saving drafts is genius...it makes it sooo much easier! If you're writing a long post, it will automatically save and you can access it from any device!

Also, the new quote system very nice. On old BYC it was much harder. Here, just click the "Insert Quotes" button and you're good to go!

That's just a couple. Lots of great new things - thanks Nifty and team!

I like when you quote something you stay on the same page...I love how it doesn't bring you to the end of the thread like to old BYC.

(Great idea for a thread @casportpony !!!)

The new feature I use the most: Using copy/paste or drag/drop to get pics uploaded and into a post. EASY-PEASY!

I just saw this one, what a great idea!

Adding a hyperlink using permalink feature:

There's an easier way (if I understand what you want to do). Go to the first post of the thread, and click the "#1" on the upper right of the box. Select the BB Code Link Snippet and paste into your message. When you then Post your reply (or place in your signature, I would think), it has the link and the name of the thread without all the html.

Looks like this:

Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

- Ant Farm

Great thread Kathy!

I like all of what you guys just said.

I know this is a very "simple" like, but I just LOVE the alerts tab at the top right. When I log on, all I need to know is right there alerting me, I don't have to go searching for it!!

I like and use the alerts! Fantastic feature as I can see what thread got a new post without leaving the page I am reading.

Quotes are new and improved too! If quoting a long post it does not take up all the space in the reply now.

Of course there is a lot more I like!!

OH and in a conversation .... When it gets long it makes a new page!!

I think the new system is pretty great!
Thank you all for making this such a great place!
