Our Fresh New Look Is Here

Just awful. And I thought the last update was bad. SMH.

@VickiSoCal, Go to the home page —> Discussion Topics —> Top Forums, and then scroll down to get to the Parents Forum.

I can get past Pernission Problem if I come in from a new tab.

But please, why dont these updates happen overnight, as in so much of the software world?

I assume this is what looks good on very expensive screens and with young eyes (gray text and lots of white space), because it seems to be the default “new look” in a lot of areas. But it does not work for middle-aged eyes on average screens, and I sure as heck don’t need all that stuff at the right, including a video that WILL NOT STOP… This may be what it takes to finally get me off CC.

Under discussion topics only 4 forums are listed. I don’t see a top forums link.

Just went to a thread with over 1000 pages of responses… all the page numbers run together, i.e. it looks like 13641365136613671368

Just sloppy.

I needed a reason to stop coming here. Thanks CC !

I cannot navigate to anything but the 4 featured forums on the front page and latest posts.

Wow. This is a mess. It makes it a lot harder to look through my bookmarks and “latest”. If making the site easier to navigate was the goal, I’m afraid you have gone in the opposite direction.

Yuck.

@VickiSoCal, that’s odd! I have six forum categories list. @CCadmin_Sorin, could you investigate? Please see posts #10, #18, #20, and #23.

Terrible. The old layout was so much better. This is not welcoming or user-friendly at all.

It’s slow to load and harder to navigate.

You need to post this info prominently on each forum open page. Most folks aren’t going to even be able to find this…never mind that most people do not read this area.

I keep getting hung up every time I go to a new page. I can’t seem to navigate at all. I also can’t see the forum list anymore. I needed a reason to stop wasting so much time here. I guess this is it.

On mobile, when the bookmarks page loads, the font is freaking minuscule.

This is an extra step to expand. And to click for “all bookmarks.” No way this improves the mobile user experience.
Next time, how about a User panel, to offer input?

Eg, all this page space may work for a random, casual visitor, but slows down the rest.

Also, can we go back to threads with new posts in bold and already read threads lighter?

If anyone has figured out how to view a list of ALL FORUMS, not just a few selected or popular ones, please tell. Can no longer find certain forums I read on CC!

I truly dislike the new format.

I also cannot understand why there is so much white space that so little can be read or viewed in a window.

Oh my this is very very spread out and requires much much scrolling to see
everything :frowning: I hope there is a way to see the more compact form.
too much white space for me

Feels like they know how old I am and upped the font size :slight_smile:

Ugh. There are no visual cues to highlight what I’ve been reading, when the last post was made, and it’s immensely frustrating to find the threads where I participate. Font is about 5 point onscreen (on my phone) and so light as to be unreadable. Double spacing is ridiculous. I didn’t have many complaints about the last rollout, but this is a bloody mess. Look at other chat forums. It’s all about user readability.
