College Confidential Relaunch

@klbmom18 I’m using the app on my phone and I have the magnifying glass icon for doing a search in the upper right corner.

Hi @surfcity the magnifying glass is now back!

I’m still trying to find the Inbox for my pms. What am I missing?

^ Click on your user name at the very top, then click on “inbox” on the top left.

If you are using an iPad…the little envelope for your PMs is right in the middle of the top of this page…next to your screenname.

Uh-oh. When you do an advanced search, say for a poster, you can’t read the highlighted name. It’s the dark blue over the black letters.
Adding: hard enough on the tablet, worse on the phone.

WHY are these changes happening???

Rats. Now all the previously banned posters have the same new avatar. It was much more helpful when they still had the old CC avatar.

@jym626 “previously banned”? What does that mean? Does it have something to do with the little jail bars I recall seeing on people’s avatars?

My thoughts:

[ul][]I like the redesign in general.
[
]I particularly feel that the header is a sleeker/less obnoxious look. However, it’s too large, vertically speaking—it takes up too much vertical space (using Chrome on my laptop) that could be better filled with content.
[*]Most of what I use CC for is the forums, and they’re still quite clunky, really. Are we ever going to get an update to their architecture to make them more easily usable (e.g., being able to search for a forum name directly rather than having to scroll through the list in the advanced search)?[/ul]

@CCadmin_Sorin
“You need the Vanilla.Comments.Edit permission to do that.”
HUH?
what does THAT mean?? I have gotten that "warning "message twice today .

not jailed posters, banned posters.

If threads are closed do they disappear or are users now permitted to delete threads? I was flagged on one today that no longer seems to exist. If a thread was closed before the relaunch, we’d get a notification that we couldn’t post to it, but it was still there to read. This doesn’t show up in a search or in the OP’s thread history either.

Not unless the thread violates ToS @austinmshauri

No

It was deleted because it violated ToS.

Could you please delete some of the really old information( 2012/13, etc.) on the College Information sites ? A lot of the information/ lack of relevant information is irritating. Thanks !

@svcamom, as per our TOS, we do not delete posts on College Confidential.

Thank you, @skieurope. That explains a lot.

So much bright white is tiring my eyes quickly on the large screen.

Search function does not work!

The magnifying glass at the top right generates a warning on Mac (Edit: “This is a non-secure form. This form will be sent in a way that is not secure. Are you sure you want to send it?”), but the one below New Discussion looks okay.
