BYC Conversion Questions & Answers (During Conversion)

I feel like I'm going through withdrawal!!

Good luck finding it. I've been playing around with the search engine, and it is nothing like the awesome one we had on BYC. It's actually like most other forums I've been on- frustrating. I think one of the most useful features of (the old) BYC was how you could type sentences in the search engine, and it would bring up things that actually pertained to that sentence. In most other forums, it is strictly keyword only. So it brings up every thread with the keyword, even if the context is completely wrong.

I do hope we can keep our old search engine.

I know it's frustrating when search doesn't work like it's supposed to.

We'll be installing a different search system on the new BYC that we hope will be better than the search here and as good (or better) than the old BYC.

Then you can install a good search system on BYH when you get it all figured out on BYC.

It's easy, here's a quick video:

i can't find a "clear the editor" option. Apparently I type alot, then change my mind.

I'd also like to know... haven't figured out if nesting is an option.

Now that I've had a gander at some of the monster threads we BYCers have already made here, I am really missing the nested quotes! There's no way I can read 15 pages of new posts. But I skim. And many of the quotes that people respond to don't make sense because none of the previous quotes are nested in.

I know it could sometimes get tedious if people quoted huge "nests" unnecessarily, but not having the option at all isn't good.

scroll back a couple posts. I quoted Nifty's tutorial about the same time you posted.

Here is a perfect example. You have to do a lot of scrolling back and forth to figure out who is talking to who about what.

Btw, thank you for locating the video and bringing it forward!

Exactly!

I want to make a point of telling you what an awesome job you are doing. Up till 2am!! I hope you have a lot of help.

I think we may come across as a bunch of whiners, when mainly what (some of us) are trying to do is figure out what is new and different and ask questions about it.

I can't believe the number of posts you personally respond to! You are doing a great job, and I hope you know how much appreciated you are.
