The Ampersand Sudoku

(Published on 8. June 2020, 14:01 by donut and chicken)

My 10th puzzle! (If we're counting the other account, too)
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. (Place each number from 1 to 9 in every row, column and 3x3 box.)
For the "thermometers" in the grid, normal thermo sudoku rules also apply.
[In each thermometer, the digits have to increase in value starting from the bulb end.]
For the two lines highlighted yellow and green (without bulbs) in the grid, normal palindrome sudoku rules also apply.
[Each line forms a palindrome. For example, a line can be 124636421, but not 123431.]

Enjoy!
The puzzle:
Alternative name: Ampersand With Lines
Backstory:
Back when I was making my 3rd and 4th puzzle, I wanted to check my user page and see how many puzzles I've solved.
I then saw a screen that said "There is no user with the specified username."
I thought it was weird, then proceeded to type in my username.
My user page worked.
Though when I went to either the Solved or the Published pages, it redirected me back to the no username page.
I changed the URL to the link my name was set as, then I got access to all pages. The Solved page works fine, yet the Published shows no results.
Back then I thought it was weird and the following day, I researched about it.
Spaces in names worked fine as well as alphanumeric characters, so I thought it had to be the & symbol that was causing the issue.
I then proceeded to make this account if the other account could not have its name changed. [I don't see a way to manually change it]
I then thought of and made this puzzle!
If you are willing to help sort out this issue, please go to the forums!
Thanks for all your help!, and I'm sorry if I had caused any issues. Have a nice day! :)

Solution code: Row 1 (left to right), then Row 5 (left to right), no characters in between; Example: 123654789987456321
