FireStation46 Posted January 31, 2017 #26 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) I was exchanging dialouge with CC in NJ over the weekend. I complimented them on the fast revision back to the old form. I gave them some suggestions on expanding the Beta group. High poster count folks are fine but you need a spectrum of posters to see how the overall audience responds and look to their feedback. Keeping it to a select few may have been a starting point but not to have invested the entire launch upon one segement of the community was not the way to go IMHO Edited January 31, 2017 by FireStation46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clean1owner Posted January 31, 2017 #27 Share Posted January 31, 2017 If you click on your username in the upper right, and hen "Edit Options", scroll down to the bottom of the page. There you will find the option to change the "skin" back to the old format. Click on "form default" and save. That should do it..... Thanks for the tip. The new format hurt my eyes.

waterbugohio Posted February 3, 2017 #29 Share Posted February 3, 2017 HELP. I don't like the new format and the instructions to change back won't work for me. I followed the instruction and drop down box to change back to the old format, will not "drop down" This is the first the new format has came up for me and I don't like it at all.

However, the instructions didn't work 😒 I got a "stop" icon when trying to use the pull down for changing forum "skin"... looks like I'm stuck with the new format 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyD Posted February 3, 2017 #32 Share Posted February 3, 2017 My computers showed the new format for a few days and it has now switched back to the old format on its own. I wonder how long it will remain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbugohio Posted February 3, 2017 #33 Share Posted February 3, 2017 So why are some getting the new format and others still getting the old?? Does it matter what browser you use?? Chrome, Explorer?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted February 3, 2017 #34 Share Posted February 3, 2017 (edited) So why are some getting the new format and others still getting the old?? Does it matter what browser you use?? Chrome, Explorer?? It's becoming aware. :eek: Seriously, I have no idea. I have two Dell laptops, both on W7 and Chrome and the one for work is still showing the old version. I haven't seen any change to my phone yet. Android HTC Update - opened CC with IE9 on my work computer and got the new version. So right now I have them running side by side on two monitors.

moopetguy Posted February 3, 2017 #35 Share Posted February 3, 2017 In the drop-down menu (that is now disabled), the template is called "Bug Human 1.0". How appropriate :rolleyes: Can't wait to see what version 1.1 or 2.0 brings...more bugging... I'm not a fan of how it doesn't make good use of whitespace after your browser window goes beyond a certain width (which is going to happen on a widescreen monitor). The new template appears a lot less space-efficient. For example, when viewing the list of threads, there are far fewer that can fit on one screen than there used to be.

Rare John&LaLa Posted February 3, 2017 #36 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Here are a couple pics with the two versions at same time. Color seems dependent on monitor to some degree. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Dancer Posted February 3, 2017 #38 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Nothing has changed for me, had to scroll a bit on page 1, but not on page two. That is normal for me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyC Posted February 3, 2017 #40 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I also can't change back and I don't like the new version. It is more difficult to scroll through posts quickly and the white is hard on my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are making room for "ads" in the near future. Gwen [emoji3] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L454S Posted February 3, 2017 #42 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Never seen the new format. I tried rescaling the display to highest and no change on new IMac 21. Also, still have to slide sideways to see those pics on page 1 even with high resolution. Glad to hear the new format has the auto sizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purescottish Posted February 3, 2017 #43 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Managed to change back to old format last week, but today it has opened in the new format but editing options are grayed out, so looks like I'm stuck with it, if so, I might need to find a new cruise forum as this hurts my eyes !

wolfatlga Posted February 3, 2017 #44 Share Posted February 3, 2017 If you click on your username in the upper right, and hen "Edit Options", scroll down to the bottom of the page. There you will find the option to change the "skin" back to the old format. Click on "form default" and save. That should do it..... I just tried and it will not go back to the previous skin. It has been blocked as a option. Yuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted February 3, 2017 #45 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'm back to the old on work computer and Chrome. But IE9 is the new format. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted February 3, 2017 #47 Share Posted February 3, 2017 So why are some getting the new format and others still getting the old?? Does it matter what browser you use?? Chrome, Explorer?? Good question. I've been using the exact same laptop and the exact same browser (Firefox) and have been switched back and forth 3 times now. Currently stuck on the new format, and hoping it goes back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted February 3, 2017 #48 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I wish they would combine these 3 threads. If ever there was a need to do that, it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted February 3, 2017 #49 Share Posted February 3, 2017 After being on the new format the last couple of days, what a pleasant surprise to be back on the old format this morning. I hope it stays, but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerferWarmWeather Posted February 3, 2017 #50 Share Posted February 3, 2017 For some reason I have the new format and can't change back to the old. I had changed it about one week ago.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
