Happy Monday 🙂

How is everyone feeling with the font being enlarged?  Good size?

I do not mind change.... but when you look at a user activity you use to see what they had "liked"    now not shown........  I also noticed the post number. missing....  otherwise it is all ok

 

Not sure about the round avatars 

 

One thought that would be nice... it all uses have their country listed under avatar....

 

Cheers Don

We do bring location info below a member's post count.  Location is a voluntary field - that way a member can control if their location is shown 🙂  Gives privacy to those who wish

We weren’t aware until we received complaints and asked the developers.  I do apologize that we didn’t anticipate the issue.

Thank you!!

You wanted to make sure that was readable on my tiny phone screen 🤣

I already had the font size set at 125%.  The "new" 125% here on cruise critic is smaller than what that was.  Going to 150% just makes all the white space bigger and more spread out, causing the pages to be huge.

 

 

I do have a request in regarding the font

Is there still a time limit on how long you can edit?

 Yes as far as I know it’s the same time frame

Answering for anyone else who may be wondering.  Click the three dots - top right of the post you want to edit

I can no longer access roll calls with Safari. Edge works on my lap top, but I prefer my iPad. 

What happens when you try to access using safari

If the admins are taking requests, I'd love the ability to change the theming to a dark theme? I know other forums I visit have this ability, so I would assume the software running CC has it, but just needs to be enabled. Usually this is a per user setting.

That wasn't released with this update but I can make sure this idea gets to the developers suggestion box

Clicking the star or blue dot next to a thread should take you to where you left off.

However there is a new feature  located in your settings: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/settings/links/

You can choose what behavior happens each time when you click on a thread between these choices

Take me to comments I haven't read

Take me to the beginning

Take me to the latest comment

This is true.  Newer technologies aren't well supported in Internet Explorer.  My suggestion would be to download Edge or another browser

Please reinstate post numbers

We are working on this

Right now the Log OUT button has been restored to the very top blue nav bar.  That should work to log you out

Thanks for your patience

The individual forum pages are OK, but I do not like the style [ipsList_inline] applied to lists on the main page.

 

The column arrangement for the <ul> / <li> tags was easier to find or look for things on repeated visits. Squishing the list into a paragraph of comma delimited things does not provide that consistency - and makes no better use of the vertical space on the page.

This has been restored 🙂

@CC Help Jenn  Will you be putting the post numbers back?

We are working on  this

It appears we have Expand signature back. Yea! 

 

Thanks for noticing - yes we do 🙂 

This wasn't a major software change and overhaul like last October 2018.  The developer did do a bit of upgrading that touched on the face of the product and even added some improvements and items you can customize.  I will be sharing more information about that later.

If you notice anything  buggy please let us know.

Thanks for the feedback - will continue working with developer

Hi All, slight adjustment made.  Please retry when you have a moment and let me know

Thank you for that info, I sometimes get caught out when I re-read what I’ve posted and it’s too late to change mistakes. 

 

Once you start to edit a post how long do we have? 

If you click the edit and your edit window is open - there is not a timer you have to race against 🙂  No worries.  The only timer is that once you post, the edit button is only available for about 15 mins after

Thanks for your feedback

Today I can’t log out.  Anyone else have this problem?  Using an iPad. 

This seems to have happened after our upgrade/maintenance this morning.  I am working with  the developer to address

Looks like this is something that occurred during the update.  I am working to find out if they can still be truncated

Thank you

Having recently completed my blog on my Majestic Princess Cruise to Fiji, and started a new one to Hawaii, I would just like to thank Cruise Critic for making the whole process so easy.

 

I have to admit that previously I didn’t feel capable of uploading photos etc, so shied away from doing a review. but now the system is SO easy that even I can do it.

 

I particularly like the way you can quote small portions of a post so that you don’t have to end up quoting a huge amount of photos etc.

It might be an idea to highlight this great feature as it might help those who quote huge amounts and then just write one sentence in response. I have to admit that I didn’t realise this was an option until I started the Majestic Princess Virtual Cruise thread.

 

So thank you for all the technological advances you are making, and for continually improving the site, and making it even more ‘user friendly.’

Thank you so much for your kind words.  We are actually still walking our way through some newly upgraded features as of this morning as well.  We appreciate your feedback

Oops! I spoke too soon. The ‘edit’ feature seems to have disappeared when I post on my Hawaii thread. Any ideas on how to get it back please?

 

It’s OK, I’ve just found it thank you!

 

 

 

The edit only lasts but 15-20 minutes 🙂  Just for your info.
