vistapat Posted November 28, 2010 #52 Share Posted November 28, 2010 The new format seems to lack quite a bit of the the feel of community we have gotten used to here. Speaking for myself, I would be willing to give up some (or most) of the user graphics, countdown clocks, etc. if that is what it would take to save bandwidth, speed up the boards, and save this format.

wrp96 Posted November 28, 2010 #53 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I joined Independent Travel a few years ago. There is a reason I don't post there! I guess CC feels they have to change to the "New Coke".:rolleyes::( Same for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SciFiCruiser Posted November 28, 2010 #54 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Don't really give a fig myself. The current format seems fine, but I have nothing negative to say about the Independent Traveler format. Actually I like the color scheme of the other board and the advertising seems less obtrusive from my quick perusal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariellejesse Posted November 28, 2010 #55 Share Posted November 28, 2010 DO NOT CHANGE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fodors is history since they changed the format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuggiebug Posted November 28, 2010 #56 Share Posted November 28, 2010 The 'other' format does seem cumbersome and not nearly as condusive to long term on-going threads. Please keep it like it is!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patricia I think you hit the nail on the head. People are using to much band width. I would love it if people did not post user graphics, countdown clocks, etc - details on 35 lines of what cruises they did. Maybe a size limit? I would hate to see the photos be removed, as that is what makes CC so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to UserCP, top left corner of the page, go to "Edit Options", scroll down to "Thread Display Options", and uncheck whatever you don't want to see.

Host Faith Posted November 28, 2010 #59 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I agree............leave CC the way it is. The other site felt cumbersome to navigate and it does look like a start up site. This is way better!! Please leave our CC site alone!!! We love it just the way it is!!! Patty I agree. This version is much easier to read and navigate. Please leave it as it is!

Debde Posted November 29, 2010 #65 Share Posted November 29, 2010 What ever gave you that idea?:confused:;):D LOL What makes a bb and makes it popular are the folks who post in it. Trust me-this is an entertaining bunch. :eek: One of the things that keep many coming back-and please take this with some laughter-is the drama that can go on over the littlest thing. You'd think some folks here, over the little things, have misplaced their first born!!!:p It's just a change of bb style. I'm sure ya'll can handle it!!!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinmamma Posted November 29, 2010 #66 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Please do NOT change CC. It is great just as it is. I'm with the others who will give up signatures, graphics, ect in order to avoid the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmaria Posted November 29, 2010 #67 Share Posted November 29, 2010 What's a "fig?" And why would one give it? A fig was something utilized in ancient times to cover the "naughty bits" which, if CC were to go to the "new format" might be more necessary than desirable. Ahem. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona Laura Posted November 29, 2010 #69 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Please leave well enough alone! I am sure I could get use to it but... *it has a dull, cold, uninviting business like appearance. *I do not like the advertisements between post 1 and 2 on each thread. *The thread titles do not stand out as boldly as the present ones do. *the green and black printing more difficult to read. Unless the printing is bolded it is hard on the eyes with the white background. The blue is much easier to read. *don't like the white printing of the date-time and post number with the green background...more difficult to read. *the posters name does not stand out as much. *sub forums not underlined. I am sorry but I feel you will lose alot of posters with the new format. Has nothing to do with adapting to change. The biggest complaint is difficult to read for me. If one makes a change it should be for the better! Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes the most innocent thread can turn into a major eruption. That is part of what makes CC so much fun!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEORGET Posted November 29, 2010 #72 Share Posted November 29, 2010 So far 87% say leave it alone. Will the powers that be please take note. Or are you going to change anyway ? All of us are use to the format so why change for change sake. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynnees Posted November 29, 2010 #73 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I do have another question - advertising pays for these forums. The new type of site seems to have a lot more advertising on it. Are you willing to pay to belong to this forum to have it left as is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not2old Posted November 29, 2010 #74 Share Posted November 29, 2010 PLEASE DON'T CHANGE!! I love what we have now, got totally confused on that Independent website thing! CC has it's own unique personality, we don't need to follow a copycat presentation! Thanks for listening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseDreaming Posted November 29, 2010 #75 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I really do prefer the current structure, the new one seems to be less easy to navigate. Kerrie :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
