HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT - BYC SOFTWARE CONVERSION Tuesday 1/10/2012

[RS]

Can you link to the auction sites at BYH- create just one big auction site?

Trooper I'm right there with you on posting pictures. This has been the only place I have trouble with pictures. I hope it gets better now!!

I think that's a kinda pessimistic view of this change. If ads are "the most apparent thing" out of a list of 30+ upgrades and features... then there isn't a lot I can say to change your perception.

Ads are an integral part of the free internet and the only way large sites can maintain themselves (unless you're wikipedia and get millions in donations... if you have millions in $$ to donate to BYC, please contact us and we'll gladly remove all ads.

).

These ads are what allowing us to keep the site going and to provide unlimited posting, private message, and image upload space to all our members.

All of our members can turn off the ads by upgrading their accounts for less than a night out to dinner.

I took a peek at the new byc and loved everything but the auction system..no more proxy. If we don't get it back we'll lose many members to other auction sites. That's my only complaint.

Nice!

Perhaps that was an unfair statement on my part. I love BYC and though I don't post much I do read and learn a lot here. I do get annoyed with the internet the same as I do with the TV with all the adds/commercials being thrown at me all of the time. I do understand basic economics and that all things must be paid for!

I appologies for my ignorance/pessemism.

I cannot wait!!! My PPm expired and I cannot load any more pics. I love the new forum!!!!!

does the new auction/classified/whatever it is function offer anything new/better to the consumer? specifically protection?

i'm interested in what's happening on the consumer side of this. there needs to be more of a focus on the buyer.

Yes it does. The sellers have more control over their listings and who bids or doesn't bid, which has not been the case here for example.
