Bonus points to anyone who can guess which ship this is? Used edit button to add this comment: Both my newly posted photos now show up in "my attachments" Enchantment?

Hint: This was the last picture of a Vision class ship going under the Lion's Gate Bridge in 2014 That's Lion's Gate? funny, I thought it would be more impressive.

I thought that being able to sign on to the CC website was the best thing. Then the app came out years later when I had a smart phone. There was no going back. Well now we are back to 2008 in a world that has better technology and a slow speed, graphic over loaded web based site. If the phone version is this slow on my home wifi I can't imaging what it would be like trying to use it on the cruise ship wifi. I'm sure it won't zoom. I feel your pain because I used the app almost exclusively. I will be traveling this weekend to DC on Amtrak and I was going to spend my time reading CC. I don't have an unlimited data plan so that's not going to happen now. Those who have never used the app can't understand what we are dealing with. CC members are made up of a lot of retired people who just use their home computers so the app isn't a necessity for them. I'm fine with the new format on the computer. I don't see much difference other then being able to post pictures easier and the like button. I can't function on the phone there is just too much buffering. I'm on vacation this week and have been using my desk top to post. I've used TapaTalk forever. This really doesn't bother me. It's functional and has features I Like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is funny saying that because Tapatalk has some clunkieness. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see all this buffering you mentioned. Pretty fast On a phone the site is pretty clunky. Glad I have a 6.5 inch phone that helps a little. The Tapatalk app was not perfect but a lot better than the browser on a phone. I never had any problem posting photos from my phone with Tapatalk. I posted quite a few. The app is definitely faster. As far as a like button, not a fan but I am subscribed to another forum on Tapatalk, that one has likes, Tapatalk does have a functional like button using that forum.

Frick_&_Frack Posted October 18, 2018 #435 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I'm definitely still having issues with "glare" (for lack of any better description). Unfortunately, after various eye surgeries, I have lingering (and, at this point, they are considering it "life-long") issues with white/glare (PVC fences kill me and I'm dreading snow). Unless I mess up everything else I use, I can't figure out how to adjust just CC to tone it down to where I'm not hurting and my vision doesn't flicker. If anyone knows how to do that, I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoLoHa Posted October 18, 2018 #437 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hate is a strong word....I just don’t see much benefit to the users in this new version, and in particular those of us primarily using mobile devices such as a phone or tablet I have been able after a time to find the things I like, but it’s not clean and simple as I was used to. Instead of just clicking the app icon, I now have to open my browser, log in to CC, select Boards and then log in again. Once there I have to select from a menu, either Account (manage content) or Activity (my activity) and continue to drill down to get to where I would have been previously with one click. It’s challenging for me and I am generally more techie than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it was changed or we just acclimated I've been having issues, but this just seems so incredibly...white...that my eyesight is flickering when I go on any page (except the reviews - those are better, well, a bit better as in no pain when I look at them/read). I need to try my night driving glasses to see if it will help when I'm home (though, can't use those at work since everyone will know something is up). LOL I'm sure it's really just an isolated problem with me. I'm just happy my sight was saved, so if I have to give up some things, I'm going to have to be OK with it.

Rare h20skibum Posted October 18, 2018 #441 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Ok, so I am looking for some comparisons from others. I ran a speed test using a Firefox browser on my desktop and had the following: Ping 24 Download 110 Mbps Upload 12 Mbps i also ran the speed test on the mobile app on my iPhone and had the following: Ping 12 Download 56Mbps Upload 11 Mbps in both cases, I timed clicking a link from the notifications (see photo), and it takes 10 seconds after clicking the link for the thread to display. However, if I go through the main link to this thread on the Royal Caribbean forum, it takes 34 seconds before it displays. Anyone else seeing similar response times?

Rare h20skibum Posted October 18, 2018 #446 Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) Much faster now. Maybe it was the time of day, or maybe something was going on in the background. Like adding photos to every post, even if they are not quoted. Now you have to post, then go back and edit to remove the photos that mysteriously get added Edited October 18, 2018 by h20skibum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
