Roll Call help

[r2h2]

I just joined the site today. I click on my upcoming cruise in the roll call section and it will not let me view anything. Just says Oops, you are not authorized to view this. Any thoughts about how to fix this issue? Thank you

Hello Host Kat.  And a happy new year to you, plus all CC members.

This is a question, rather than a reply - so I do hope that YOU WILL SEE IT….?   I have forgotten how to JOIN A ROLL CALL.  I have in the past joined, as you will probably be able to see.  Either the instructions have changed, or, more likely, my aged brain isn’t switching into gear like it used to. 🙄😏   Could you please help?  Many thanks.  Sylvia (aka Tilly)

[TillyTheGreat]

Now, I’m really muddled - sorry.   This is a question for Host Kat.  Please see my question, above, which shows as a ‘reply’ to Post No.1.

The Roll Call  I’m trying to join is 2nd May, maiden voyage of Azamara Onward.  As I said, I have joined RCs before - just seem rather dim at the start of a new year.  Please help.

Many thanks,  Sylvia  (TillyTheGreat)

@TillyTheGreat

Here is a link to the roll call. There is no joining. You have to be signed in to post.

Thanks Sylvia for the happy new year thoughts!  Sorry, but I have been away from the boards a bit due to some longstanding chronic health problems.

How do I turn off the automatic spellcheck (auto change spelling) feature when typing a reply? Words have been automatically changed up to three times after i changed them back to what I wanted.

That isn’t part of Cruise Critic. It is your computer, tablet or phone that is auto-correcting. You have to turn it off there.

It is turned off in MS Word and Excel. I only have this happen with CC.

Not knowing the device, operating system, or browser used it's not possible to answer the question.

MacBook Pro, Monterey 12.7.3, Safari. However, I never have spell check automatically change text as I type on any online or offline situation--just CC.

I think the auto spellcheck in Safari got turned back on--perhaps through an update. I had it turned off.

Still odd that it only became a problem with Cc.

Hopefully, this fixes the problem.

Yep, if spellcheck is turned on in Safari then Safari will spellcheck. By the way MacOS is currently on version 14.3  Perhaps your MacBook does not support older versions? Security updates are still issued though for some older versions. There was a security update 5 days ago to for MacOS 12 to 12.7.3 for those who are using an older version. Very good that you updated. Possibly that icould be when it got turned back on but spell check is not turned on by default in Safari so that is not what is supposed to happen.

Thank you for the security update suggestion. I just updated a few days ago. I checked again for updates just now. My Mac says it is up-to-date and I can't upgrade to a newer OS. It wasn't the newest model available at the time. I preferred the ports offered on this model of MacBook over the newer version and so now need to decide when to bite the bullet and get a new Mac. Love this Mac and it hasn't given me a lick of trouble....unlike the replace-every-two years HP laptops (and awful Windows) I've had in the past.

 

The spellcheck on Safari was the culprit. Don't know what turned it back on recently, because I always set preferences to suggest--not change spelling. But, thanks to you on this forum, the problem is resolved.

Thank you. Diana
