It fits my needs. I hated not being able to post pics direct from laptop. I hated people messing up quotes. I hated not being able to quote more than two at a time. I hated the effort it took to remove pics when quoting I hated not being able to participate in a poll on my phone I hated not being able to see signatures on my phone I hated the limit of 6 pics in a single post, however 59 is to many. 😉 I love the new emojis I hate that people whine so much, but I am thoroughly entertained by it I love the Member Galleries Absolutely love the Like/Laugh/Thanks button. More folks should use it. I miss a few things, but you can learn how to do them. I did not use Tapatalk for anything else I do feel we have lost many members, that makes me sad At the end of the day it's a free service, you learn and accept, or you quit. There is also a feature I like that not many have discovered yet. I've hinted about it. I wont discuss it publicly. BTW, I dont counter everything. I like plenty of stuff here. I'm just not a lemming. If everyone lurked, there would be nothing to read. Edited November 25, 2018 by John&LaLa 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted November 25, 2018 #28 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Cons: Miss the "back to top" button that used to be at the bottom of the page of the old site...and I don't think it is possible to find out if someone is currently on the boards? (used to be a green light next to their avatar on old site when they were on). Pros: Was surprised at how well a cut and paste address came up on a U-tube video. Set up right on post. And I like tapping on "new notifications" that take you right to the next post after the last one I did. Now don't get me started on RCI's "new and improved" website. 😝 🤬 13 minutes ago, John&LaLa said: I really haven't noticed this more than a couple of times.

In the beginning you could not only tell if someone was on, but you could see where they were. Backlash killed that pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not a lemming. If everyone lurked, there would be nothing to read. And a posting of photos IMHO actually is a bad thing. Not it only is the site slower but now I need to wait to see all of the pics that are posted load not only in your post but when someone quotes you.

I truly dont understand this lag for pictures to load. I take it you never saw the 59 pictures in one post last month. But one picture. 🤔 🤐 Edited November 25, 2018 by John&LaLa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted November 25, 2018 #33 Share Posted November 25, 2018 @Goofyfanatic Forgot to add something earlier. Wasn't it easy to remove the picture when you quoted me. Big plus for new version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted November 25, 2018 #35 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Maybe it was difficult to remove photos using a phone app, but it was simple on a PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE find a way to bring back the app. It is so painful on the phone. I agree...bring back the App. I do not use the app but many friends who only communicated via the app, moved over to social media because they got annoyed with CC's step backwards. Mods, Hosts, all in charge, PLEASE hear and help, bring the app back. Plus it is very hard to find a roll call from the "Roll Call Search" function. Even if it exists, it does not show up in the search. People think no one started one so they start a new one....many cruises end up having multiple roll calls for that reason. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL READ AND CORRECT THIS just as they promptly remove posts and add a star to the point system for even discussing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, you had to delete code, easy to screw it up like the quote coding. Now you just touch it.

Bob, and a good portion of the community. Not everyone as high tech as you. I'm on laptop now Some things really are easier and faster. Like typing. 😉 Or are you doing speech to text?
