Announcement Welcome To The New BYC!

[lvie]

Still checking it all out. I like the way it looks. I need to get used to how it works. BUT - but - but - love BYC

Is there a plan to refer people here from the old site? I've been stranded over there for a week, until I cried out to @Nifty-Chicken and he led me over here.

Glad you made it @azygous! I only saw about the change by chance and got over to BYH to practice for a week.

Subscriptions are now watched threads

Thanks!

But how can I tell if there is a new post on said "watched thread"?

 

[Peep-Chicken]

How do you just "mark as read" your subscriptions instead of all the forums?

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....

I'm just as confused. Seems this new way is more complicated than the old way. Too much poking.

The URL is now https://www.backyardchickens.com/...as of about 4EST.
Yes, you'll have to make new desktop icon...and delete the old one(s).

Done. Boy, I am not the brightest crayon in the box.
