Announcement Welcome To The New BYC!

[Happy Chooks]

Question about posting new photos. I click on the usual image icon and it brings up a text box that says test. No options to upload.
So I try the Upload a File button. Attach the file and hit post. The picture won't show.
Did I just stumble upon a bug, or am I not doing it right?

Don't use the mountain icon, it doesn't work as well. I've been dragging and dropping, and I loooooveee it.

Love the new site. Very intuitive and easy to navigate. Faster too it seems.

Why'd the 'Flock Master' under my username become 'Chillin with my peeps'?

I'm wondering where mine went too.

Explain the dragging!

I used the mobile today and it is fabulous! I would use it more if my eyes were better!

I did get in old password no problem now I did get a alert that my account upgrades has expired. only one I knew of was membership just did that now had a byc friend does that require paying for every year to keep?

The memberships have to be purchased or won. The BYC Friend badge was awarded to you, no payment required. All the badges still need to be added to the new site, as do the memberships. It will take a little longer to get everything finished, but they are doing a great job.

Okay, I'm confused. Again. <sigh> I signed in using the desktop icon I put up there from the old new BYC. You know, the one that was temporary. So I had to reenter my password and user name again this time, which was easy. But now, is the desktop icon I have with the "explore the new BYC" obsolete and I'll have to backdoor it in every time, or is there a new address to get in? I'm sorry to be so dense, but you're talking to woman who still uses a metal percolator to make coffee....

Can you just type "www.backyardchickens.com" into your browser?

How are you getting mobile. I find no where to change it back and forth.

I meant I accessed BYC on my cell phone, which I rarely do. I thought it was a much nicer format than the old one. I did not see a choice between desktop and mobile like before, so just assumed it was mobile.

I don't seem to see the a list of "my posts" or even my "recent posts."

I can locate the "new," "recent," for everyone, but the old system had a list of your recent posts, which was helpful if you wanted to follow up or look back at your information.

I'm probably being dense here...sorry to have to ask...but I can't seem to find that.

(I have fortunately relocated my favorite threads and forums and now have them properly bookmarked).

...and did I read correctly that the "badges" are being manually applied?

I had a "Friend of BYC" award that has disappeared.

Kind of bummed that I took a pretty big drop in status with the new system (not that status matters, but it was fun...I had fewer posts than many but had lots of ovation points...I don't post often due to time constraints, but when I do post, I try to be the most helpful I can be.)
