Correct. The only way to access CC is with a web browser.

At the far right of the tool bar is a page with a magnifying glass in the bottom right corner. That is the preview button. It may take a few seconds for the preview to appear. If you are using a desktop, you will see three buttons at the top left to preview for Desktop, Tablet, and Phone. The buttons are not present when working on a mobile.

 

Found it!  Thanks.

I’m out on my own obviously as I like the change.  

 

Compared to another travel forum I regularly use, I found the old cruise critic a bit archaic.  It’s nice to see this newer version catching up with the times (easier to attach photos, easy to see who has quoted you, like/thanks button etc.).  

 

I have had it glitch on me a few times (nothing too major), but once the kinks are ironed out and people are more familiar with the new interface, I suspect that the general consensus will be that the new version is better.

Brighter is not better.  It hurts my eyes.

There seems to be a limit to posting photos and not per thread as in the past.

Yesterday ( via attachments)I was informed I had used 3.42MB out of 488.28 MB allocated., which is 1%.

REALLY?

So I will have to aware, as I often attach photos, as they are worth a 1,000 words.

You have used 3.42 MB of your 488.28 MB attachment limit.

Best  post of the day...

but I am using the Help Thread to work through my issues and ignoring all the added stuff  I don't want or need!

Cheers!

I cannot even find the *help thread*..I am seriously technically challenged.

When i go to the message board then to a specific ship say “Equinox” it just doesnt list just the posts on Equinox it lists every topic with Equinox in it. Anyone else getting that?

I found that pictures I posted years ago count in that total!

I CANNOT READ ANY POSTS AS THE TYPED WORDS ARE TOO PALE!

I know this sounds nuts but it is not my Mac, all other sites are fine, not pale.

 

Maybe if you all pressed harder on your keypad?lol

You might try increasing your browser zoom. Below is a capture of this reply with the zoom set to 250%.

Yes, I agree that this isn’t ideal.  

 

I still have have a few thousand pics to go before I need to worry, but for those who post pics frequently, this could definitely be a downside to the new interface.  It would be a shame to see the posters who regularly write Trip Reports (often with 100 or so photos per report) holding back as their reports are so valuable.
