skynight Posted November 6, 2020 #26 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I have noticed that the posting number in the upper right hand corner is now absent. Lack of this number makes reference to a specific posting difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmoo here Posted November 7, 2020 #27 Share Posted November 7, 2020 20 hours ago, Thrak said: 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? I don't like it. The bright white background is annoying. And the default font size is too small. Bumping it up one notch makes everything more spread out and takes up a whole page in width.

caribill Posted November 7, 2020 #30 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Two new features I noticed (at least when using on a PC) a) There is a line marked "Unread replies" to make it easier to find the first post you have not seen yet. b) When quoting a long post, instead of showing the entire long post, it shows part of it with an option to show the rest.

caribill Posted November 7, 2020 #32 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I see another "feature" is a lack of an obvious place to click to modify an entry you made a few minutes ago. You need to click on the three dots on the upper right to find that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron the Rev Posted November 7, 2020 #33 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Nice to ring the changes sometimes. All helps to delay the old alzheimers. Oh dear now where is the emoji, 😭 I'm getting land sick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the b) change . Too many people like to quote on somebody’s long exhausting posts (my biggest pet peeve). Now I don’t have to suffer through these long posts as they get shortened PS - if you want to comment on something specific about someone’s long post, do us all a favor and spend a little time to delete content of the long post to only the part you are responding to . It’s a little extra work but helps us all (just like I did above ) Edited November 7, 2020 by Luckiestmanonearth 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero in on what is important to comment on and proceed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nini Posted November 7, 2020 #37 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Thrak- Thanks for posting this! I thought it was just my computer and then thought CC was tied in with Facebook because theirs changed about the same time (which is horrible). Yes! WAYYYYYYYYYY too much white and the posts are not numbered so I can easily go back to them, noting the number in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted November 8, 2020 #39 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The lack of the post number is annoying, harder to refer back to a prior post. And I have had problems editing a post (since my phone is soooo good at helping me spell the wrong words). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hag Posted November 8, 2020 #40 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I don't mind it. Similar to the old one, and it looks fine to me. Sorry it's not working so well for some. Maybe they'll bump up the font - all that takes a changing the value in the style sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted November 8, 2020 #41 Share Posted November 8, 2020 The first thing I did when I saw the new page was to hit the control key on my keyboard and wheel my mouse up a bit to increase the sizing on the web page to 110%. I agree about the "WHITE": I'm going to go snow blind if I stare at these pages too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julie3fan Posted November 8, 2020 #44 Share Posted November 8, 2020 One annoying thing I've found on this oh-so-very-helpful upgrade is when I go to a thread that I've subscribed to, it takes me to the first post on page 1, rather than to the first unread post, as in the past. Now I have to navigate to the last page, then scroll down to the first unread post. Sure, that faint little blue line is there to show me where that is, but why can't the screen just jump to that at the beginning? I view on my smart phone, and don't know if that's the same way on other devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, that little icon isn't present on mobile. Edit: I found this: Clicking the star or blue dot next to a thread should take you to where you left off.

I don't like it because the print is smaller and some things are not as bold as before. I agree no all change is for the better. The new format change the print size. While I'm not blind, the print is much harder the read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare EllieinNJ Posted November 10, 2020 #49 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Today the blue dots and stars are gone, replaced by small rectangles. Now it's impossible to see right away where you commented on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
