What do you think of the new BYC platform?

[kuntrygirl]

I apologize to the owners of this site if I'm sounding irrational and whatnot. But please be patient with some of us too. Understand our point of views in particular when some of us are prone to headaches and whatnot and yes, the forum and sub forums pages are indeed brighter; and the fact that it seems some features have been been upgraded to paying members when that wasn't the case before (unless they really are just glitches) doesn't exactly make the rest of us 'ordinary' members feel all that great.

I share your feelings.

VERY well said.

We're working on the Buy Sell Trade section. It accidentally got turned off.

I figured it was something like that.

Go to your Profile and edit your account settings.

You'll need to resubscribe to any threads you want to keep track off. We apologize but it looks like subscriptions didn't transfer.

Ok, I am seeing what some of the members are saying. Is there a way to change the background color from white? It is bright and does hurt my eyes. I love the new site but if this is something that could be changed I think it would help.

I just got here, IDK! I like the quick reply box for sure. Having come from other forums I'm used to quick reply boxes and prefer them.

I spend an hour trying to log in--very frustrating. Asked for email with new code. Nothing. GOt other emails but not from BYC.

I'm finding the new BYC difficult and had a headache within 15 minutes. THe fonts are not easy to read; I did not join other forums for the same reason. Learning new is difficult for me, goodness knows how long it took to sort of master the the old set up.

I never had to log in before--and I couldn't see the button as I have an old square monitor. Don't see the sense in adding to the trash heap if this monitor works fine. I used to be automatically logged in. Will see if my PC will make it automatic now.

THe fonts and the gray tones are my biggest problem. Not easy to read.

With dial up took forever to get the smilieies to load. is faster.

WIll try to read and post now and then and see if it gets easier . . . .fonts seem to be easier loogin in than not logged in. Will look around a bit. Feel very lost.

Admin--I know you work hard. Your efforts are applauded.

I have been trying that for the last 4 hours with no luck.

All i have to say is great job with the conversion. having had to do a similar project in the past for a forum, I can totally understand the stress. Especially with the hate that gets thrown at you after you convert.. Keep your heads up.
