Thank you for your thoughtfulness.Unfortunately, Chrome causes my job's software to become unstable & we are not allowed to have it on our systems with our company's software because something about file incompatibility or something.
I do think the improvements are awesome for people with fast computers. They rock! I think the site LOOKS fabulous, and the extra features are great. Don't get me wrong. I just can't use them. I clicked on one of the new features, to make a thumbs-up to someone's post, then a little window popped up for me to post a comment. When I went to close the window, it took it over a minute to close. It reminds me of the recent "improvements" to Facebook (another site where I can no longer spend much time because it causes my computer to stop, go, stop, go, freeze, warm up, stop, go because of all the background scripts that are running).
I guess it's just me and my computer. However, I feel pretty strongly, though, NONE of us should have to download new software to our computers just to go onto one website, when we have browsers that work perfectly fine for everything else but BYC. I know they probably figured in losing a handful of users, and until/unless we can afford a better, faster computer, Farmer_Lew and I will likely be among them.
Like I said... I'm just practically in tears because BYC has become such a big and important part of our backyard farming and chicken-rearing process, and now I cannot be on it like I used to because the upgrade is too much for my system. We'll still be around intermittently, and I have taken my lunch break to type all this and gotta get back to work now. But we just won't be able to participate as before, which makes me really sad.
im sorry, H
for everyone else i am on safari and its running at regular speed
