Did I Miss An Announcement?

[Thrak]

Did I miss something important? Today CC looks different and some things are in different places. I didn't see an announcement about changes but, then again, I've been "busy" the last couple of days. Is it only me or are things suddenly different?

If there was an announcement, I missed it too! Things have changed lol. But then again, nothing would surprise me this year lol.

Last night (Australian time) the site was 'down' for maintenance. This seems to have included a major design change.

Noticed the same last night as well 😀

Yes, it's strange.  No explanation that I can see either.  But it is 2020 so anything can happen, right? 😷

Larger, darker headings. Small, faint print for the posts. On my iPhone. More tempting to jut skip reading.

 I noticed the change yesterday morning.  I don't like it because the print is smaller and some things are not as bold as before.

I don't like it either. Don't like the new, smaller font.

yesterday, some threads for awhile had 'statistics' on the right side showing the number of posts for the top 

 or 4 posters in that thread only - I liked it ...

Was down for maintenance Wednesday at 5am, guessing they did upgrades/updates then.

[Grego]

I didn't think the last version was broken so why the fix?  Actually, I liked to version prior to the last one better, but then it doesn't matter....it is what it is.

IT had time on their hands.  Hey lets change the web site. It is 2020 after all.

 

[skynight]

On a desk top there is smaller font size in some areas. Member's posting text size remains the same. The headings are now in bold black, which I feel is an improvement.

Am I the only CC member who considers this website ‘upgrade’ ... a major downgrade.

 

Shame, the site has been slow for quite a while. No it’s slow and cumbersome.

 

Constant stream of upgrades is making our devices unusable, what’s your opinion.

There was a header on the page a couple of days ago announcing a downtime/upgrade. Like all changes, its something we'll get used to.

I find no difference, but again I access this site using my desktop, never phone or laptop.

Big change for me accessing on a desktop....

I guess like everything else in life change takes some time to get used to.  However as others have pointed out I find the print in the posts to be a bit small although I can enlarge it on my touch screen monitor.  But I also find the print to be a bit dull and wish they would darken it.

Looks completely different on my computer. Didn't see an announcement and for me, the system wasn't down at all.

Yesterday they announced that they would have a new look today.

I don't see where you can "edit" a post even right after you post it. Anyway know how to do it?

The other difference I noticed....I was reading a thread and then a new section of the thread popped up that said "4 weeks later" and then gives newer posts.

Yes, it’s hidden in the three little dots, on the upper right. Check the pic below:

Wow, 2020 has so many changes, just waiting for the frogs and locus to appear. Yes, I was so surprised yesterday when I saw the changes. Not sure it is for the better from my point of view, but at least I am happy about some things right now.

[cruisequeen4ever]

It sure had me perplexed! I too prefer the bigger, darker font of the old format.
