Rare mom says Posted November 19, 2020 #151 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Funny how I've been able to access everything on this site with no problem for years until this latest update. And nothing I've tried at my end has corrected the problem. But it can't be a bug. OK fine. Guess I'll just have to pray for another major system update soon.

Rare puppycanducruise Posted November 20, 2020 #152 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I lost the blue dots and stars, and had funny little boxes where the 3 dots were and a few other missing things. I cleared the cache and cookies, no change. Suddenly this morning when I got on the site, everything is back. I don't know who fixed it, but thanks.

I closed the page, then re-opened to clear everything. I did this with my PC, phone, and tablet. Still not getting any icons. All I get are little boxes.

You might try a different setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike x ftc Posted November 23, 2020 #155 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I also just get squares - click 'Boards' again it reloads and I get the blue dots but it always logs me out!!

Shmoo here Posted November 26, 2020 #157 Share Posted November 26, 2020 On 11/24/2020 at 8:09 AM, mom says said: The icons are back! The icons are back! Opened up the forums this morning and there they were! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Sort of. I didn't post here originally, as I never lost the icons. Now, I'm seeing icons on some threads and no icons on others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ORV Posted November 27, 2020 #158 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I curious what the benefit of this upgrade is. I'm not against change, but I can't see anything that is better here, only worse. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for myself, all the update did was make things harder to read.... and that presumes nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my perspective the changes are fine on an IPad and a computer but make the mobile experience on a smartphone which was difficult before the recent update almost impossible. At the same time the Forums app stopped working. Yet the “powers that be” keep touting the mobile experience of the software. Sorry.......there is no usable CC mobile experience now on a smartphone.

Since this topic is about the look rating it seems appropriate. If you don’t like my rating it as poor.... tough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The software developers decided they are not needed. I kid you not. So you are thinking there were post numbers. To have post numbers on IPB boards requires a software plug in that is coded by an independent developer. There was such a plug in. CC must have been using it. The new version of Inivision that CC updated to broke that plug in. Enough people want post numbers that likely there will be an updated plug in or a new plug in that enables post numbers. CC will have to wait until such is available. It could be that the Forums App which relies on a plug in also stopped working because of the recent update to the latest version of Invision. That is mere speculation on my part. The post numbers plug not being compatible I read about. Sometimes it is better to wait before upgrading to new versions as they break stuff. That said CC might have been good reasons for CC having gone ahead with updating.Security patches or whatever. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
