Refresh the page. Method varies by browser. 

I think they should have added a small arrow to collapse the signature section once expanded, but thanks anyway!

Signatures are back to being shorter the way they were prior to the last update. The Expand signature feature has returned. See the following thread:

Very disappointed that this is the only way to get CC to pay attention to the comments

about this newer version. And surprised that all the comments above are going to go unnoticed and not responded to.

Like that will do any good. 

I don't like what they consider "better". I just knew when they posted that the site would be down they were going to do something that wasn't user friendly ! Just why do they have to mess things up when nothing really needed to be done !!!!!!!

Your post is the only one that has been easy for me to read. Posting in bold creates a much better contrast with the background.

For me I always use my Android phone and it is easy to magnify the screen If necessary to make the words bigger.

As long as your willing to rotate the phone from portrait to landscape mode. I think that's a pain in the ass

For those who aren't aware, you can change the font size globally for all websites (not just CC).  For Edge and Chrome, it's the zoom setting under the 3 dots in the upper right corner.  Ctrl + and Ctrl - will also zoom in/out respectively.  Not sure about other browsers but this should be in the settings.  I leave my browsers all set at 125% zoom.  Definitely helps all sites be more readable.  Play with various zoom settings to see what works for you as zooming will mean that you may need to scroll more to see content on a page.

 

Edit: Font size and contrast for the new CC format are fine for me (at 125% zoom) but I mostly view on a large, wide screen monitor, not a mobile device.

Glad you've figured out how many hoops to jump through just to read CC. I don't think we should have to go to these measures for this public forum regardless of what device we use.

I use a desk top with a large monitor and it's a PIA with these supposedly "new and better" changes. Just who are they aiming to please with these...certainly not me.

So, the only constant in life is change....  adapt or die...

 

 

Agree. Been on Cruise Critic since 1997, have to say most improvements have been for the better. How many still have AOL, which would still be required to log on to AOL's Cruise Critic if changes hadn't happened...

I already had the font size set at 125%.  The "new" 125% here on cruise critic is smaller than what that was.  Going to 150% just makes all the white space bigger and more spread out, causing the pages to be huge.

I do not mind change.... but when you look at a user activity you use to see what they had "liked"    now not shown........  I also noticed the post number. missing....  otherwise it is all ok

 

Not sure about the round avatars 

 

One thought that would be nice... it all uses have their country listed under avatar....

 

Cheers Don
