For the benefit of the younger generation, that means like when they revived Roseanne and Will & Grace and retconned the final season of the original runs as a bad dream or what some fan sites are hoping will happen with season 8 of Game of Thrones.
I hate this so much that I’ve gone from checking in 2 or 3 times a day to dreading looking every other day! The threads are stretched up skinny in the middle third of my screen and what used to take me 1 click (going to the last page of a thread to read the latest) takes a click, a scroll, and another click. Hard to read, hard to navigate. Too many bad decisions made to list!!! PLEASE bring back the old style…
The Newhart series ending was the best ever!
@RandyErika. You beat me to it. One of my favorite comedians and some of the best TV. Yes, the best dream sequence ever!! ??
To me, this upgrade is more like the last episode of The Sopranos.
So I have been using the “new” site on by Android phone and didn’t really see what you all were taking about. I can see that the mobile app is actually better for me to navigate with. The pictures with the writing overlay is different on the computer vs phone module. There is overlap on the mobile version but not on the computer version.
But the computer site is really terrible especially if you have organizational issues and or ADHD. Too many things on a page and scattered all over. This is like a nightmare of not being organized.
I can’t see students using this site long term. It’s hard to concentrate on the page itself. Yes, the color is like blinding.
@intparent I found an example with the help of another user and have sent a screen shot up the ladder. Thanks for calling out.
Anyone else notice your own activity dropping off? I looked at my replies and I’m posting about 1/10 of what I did only a week ago and some of those are posts to this thread. As the days go by I’m not really missing it as much either.
The new look is very user-unfriendly. Why would the OP’s screen name be bold but the topic in a faint font? I don’t post much, but I generally follow several threads at a time. They are probably doing just fine without me! I am definitely not as inclined to check in several times a day as I used to do before the update, when it was easy to locate a thread title.
CC version 1 = Godfather 1
CC version 2 = Godfather 2
CC version 3 = Godfather 3
After watching Godfather 3 once, I left forever.
1000 + posts…do we have much to show for our efforts?
This change in CC has very much curtailed my usage of the site. I’ve read hardly any threads, but this one and have posted very little, if at all. Maybe this is my “cure.”
@skieurope - the “T” word was in the title of the thread you closed where you found 3 or 4 reregistrations of the same poster (including one where they misspelled your name in their name) . The “T” word was not *****’d out in wherever the thread was featured.
Oh, I just scrolled down— its below in the “recent activity”. I sent a screenshot to @CCadmin_Sorin . Sounds like you already did that. (That thread was pretty funny, BTW. Thanks for the laugh!)
This is likely to be one the last comments that I post. I just went through the introduction of a new format on a financial discussion site. Users made very similar complaints to what I’m reading on this thread. Wasted space, difficulty in finding things, no substantive improvement from the design. I am slowly adjusting to that one; I don’t think I will spend much more time on this one.
Which brings me to . . . THANK YOU to the sponsors and moderators of the CC discussion boards. I’ve learned a lot from the experiences of others, and I’ve done my best to share my own experiences and knowledge of the higher education scene to help the next generation of parents and students. I wish you all great futures in education and life. May all of your kids get into their first choice colleges, and go on to have rich and fulfilling lives. Bye.
Too disorienting, I’ve stopped coming here as not easy on the eyes. Will give it a shot but please put up the old version as an option.
And @college4many hasn’t posted since 2017
Maybe they removed all of the people that said, “please don’t include my name on that list.” and all they were left with were these old posts.
Thanks for signaling the censored words issue. It looks to be resolved now. Please let me know if otherwise.
Nope, @CCadmin_Sorin - the word is still in the title of that thread. But to be honest, there are bigger fish to fry in fixing the many issues with the new rollout. There is also some glitch with the magnifier glass search function. When You click on it, two odd small symbols appear. One works, one doesn’t. I’d go look at it but I am not sure the draft of this post will remain (I’ve lost some). Bring back the draft button and the emojis before worrying about the word tr0ll.
I sent you a screenshot of the weird symbols that appear when I click (on ipad) on the magnifying glass.
