What do you think of the new BYC platform?

[aubreynoramarie]

I'm probably going to have to spend a lot less time on byc with all of the ads an clutter it takes way too long to load on my phone and that's how I spend most of my time online. I like the setup but sometimes it takes so long to load that once the page I want finally does load I get logged out?
Also why is my profile pic from a year ago? What happened to my current one?

Oh yeah and on mobile smileys appear as question marks

Too hard for us old dogs to learn new tricks.

Not sure about GFM's but I know PPM's can turn off ads. Go to your profile, select edit account details and scroll all the way down, the last option is turn off advertising.

I don't have that option.

Hate It! It only uses about half my screen, an gives me blue bars filling in the rest. Of the screen it uses its full of junk I dont care for making the forum part an even smaller part of the screen.

If it stays like this I probably wont stay here any more.

Go to your profile and select edit account details. Choose full forum width, hide right column and if available, you can remove the ads too.

This is sad I think we are going to lose a lot of the valuable "old timers" with all their knowledge!!!

How do you do that? How do you get an ad blocker? I am on Firefox 8.0
