New and Improved CC

[Desert Cruizers]

it is frustrating not being able to get back to the main boards. I am stuck on this thread or check my subscribed threads, other wise I get logged out and it doesn't remember my PW. Bob I guess we all are learning.

Fine but the future is mobile. Not having a mobile app is a step back and if they don’t correct their mistake they are going to be left behind. I known a lot of people who don’t use a computer anymore. They do everything on their smartphone. I used to take my laptop on cruises. Have not for years. Don’t take it out of the house. My smartphone is with me everywhere. They touted the mobile experience being improved with the change. It may be a step forward for anyone who was using a web browser on their phone to read forums under the old format but not supporting the mobile apps is a huge step back. The Cruise Critic mobile experience is terrible with a web browser on a smartphone. 

And I get that Charles4515. I was trying to summarize over time things changed. I have no idea why or what they are/were thinking there is no mobile app -- only that perhaps wondering it wasn't ready for launch and rather than admit it they just ignored it. Trying to launch a huge website and a mobile site at the same time is not easy or something that happens.

I hear you on people are now doing more and more on their smartphone and I didn't mean to imply otherwise.

Sucks that all the pictures from old lives didn't survive thru the transition. Nothing but words and url links now. Guess the good news is new ones going forward should show.

What? no Andy?

Yup, all old reviews didn't survive, just words and links.

How can you navigate CC without it logging you out. Every time I try and go back to the main page it logs me out. Perhaps I should use my Back Arrow but that seems to kick me out  but clicking Forums doesn't work either. Bob Help. LOL

I open threads in a new tab, and have had no issues with being logged out.

Yes! sorry Paul, I wanted to see if I could delete a photo. Which by the way was very nice.

I do the same thing, and it has been working fine all day, but this evening I've been logged out at least 5 times.

Poo :(

So sorry if this has been asked.  I tried searching the thread.  How do I change it to where the threads show in reverse order (newest post first) , and go back to 40 posts per page....or is that even still possible?

I am very disappointed we did not at least get a warning that we would lose HOURS and HOURS of work on reviews.  No pictures showing up after all that time spent to capture our memories and help others.  I would have even paid for a CC membership if that option were given to store our reviews and data.  Now, it is just gone!  

Also, CC indicates that there is a total cap of 488 MB for attachments.  Does that mean no more elaborate picture reviews?  I think it is time to start my own blog.  

I know it is free, but why not give a paid option for those of us who really enjoy the review writing?  I hope CC will fix this and restore Tapatalk support!

It seems like all their reasons for the upgrade is to limit the size of their database thus limiting their cost. Normally when I did a live report I primarily used Tapatalk so most of the pictures I posted were hosted through Tapatalk. Taking that option away and if this is accurate limiting the data all it does is make it difficult to post a decent live report. 

And as others have already stated, not having a mobile app is is stepping back a decade. All I can say is if CC no longer wants to host the chat board, stop. Don't do it half a**. 

They will probably pull my post but I don't care. 😡

Try using the Login on the cruisecritic banner, not the one at the top of a thread/forum.

Until I find a better way, if it exists, I'm clicking on the gray "Royal Caribbean International" at the top of this thread.  It's where it shows the mapping to this thread just above "New and Improved CC"
