I also have no "theme" setting.  This is on a desktop.  Totally agree, that font and light gray words very hard to read.  Do not like the look at all.

The admin have disabled the option for users to switch themes so you will not see it on any device.

No theme link for me - I usually only use CC on a desktop.  All the HTML stuff is showing up as text.  All signatures are showing entire signatures, not just a portion, and if you choose to hide someone's signature (for what I thought was temporary), it appears there is no way to get them back.  Lastly, for right now, I was reading an old 2016 review, no problem seeing any pictures.  Now, all of his pictures are just showing phtobucket links, not actual pictures.

What Theme option??  Oh gosh, looks like CC is ruined.  I only use desk top computer.  And, can't get to roll calls. Is there "Find My Rollcall?

The font isn’t too light but rather too thin. It’s a poor choice for a forum-based font.

They have disabled us from being able to select the other theme. 

Why on earth would they do that?!

I had a theme option a few minutes ago and it has now disappeared!! (As has my choice of default!)

I'm guessing that the default theme probably doesn't include all of the ads that they've built into their custom theme.

If you are reading this cruisecritic...you really need to give people the option to change themes. It is a very basic function for any forum and the only one that is now available for most people will drive many away. You lost a lot of people the last time you changed the forums  due to the brightness of the forums...unfortunately this time you have outdone it by keeping them too bright while adding in faded and lack of contrast fonts.

Switching between different themes is nothing more than choosing from different available style sheets (CSS) Have someone put a few together and allow the users to change between them.

What is the app now for iPhone?  The old app doesn't recognize my password

I don't see a "theme" on my PC either.

My understanding is there isn't a new app, you have to view it thru the browser of your choice on your phone.

No theme button here either, and it's VERY difficult to read the new font on my desktop computer... and can't seem to find where to create a new countdown clock, but even if I do, it appears that my signature will not be compliant with the new rules anyway, so yah. 

So far, not liking the new CC... but perhaps they'll correct these new flaws and the final result will be really great! An then they'll decide to change it again.  Endless cycle of frustration it seems! LOL

Been on here less than 10 minutes and my eyes hurt❗️Seeing looong lists of posters last cruises, which I can’t  figure out how to shrink, .  They fixed something that wasn’t broken and it not a user friendly fix😡

For a higher contrast theme, click the "Theme" link at the bottom and select "Default". My eyes thanked me when I did this.

 

 

Where do I find this?

 

[fatcat04]

Agree. Having to bold and enlarge every post so I can read it is a pain. 

[Host Star]

agree   too light and too small   

[maxsales]

So far this "upgrade" is terrible!  No improvement that I can see and a lot of negative changes, font. contrast, signatures ect.  Hope they can straighten this mess out or they have ruined cruise critic.

I'm not finding this "theme" option???

[Scorpio41]

I can't stay and read the forum posts when it's like this count me out till it improves.

[rocklinmom]

So far I give this upgrade a huge thumbs down.  My eyes hurt after twenty minutes on here.  And it's so confusing, I don't know where things are anymore.  Might have to give up CC.

Looks like it's been removed.
