CruiseCrazies Site Enhancements Revealed

Jason · December 21, 2012

Several weeks ago the software which powers our community was upgraded, delivering some exciting new features for our community. The details are below.

If you have any questions on how to use them, please contact me directly. Enjoy!

Tweet and Share to Facebook When Creating a Topic:

Just as it sounds, you can now have your new topics auto-posted to Facebook & Twitter, by checking the appropriate option before submitting a new topic. Linking your CruiseCrazies and Facebook/Twitter accounts is initially required. You can do so in your CruiseCrazies account settings for Facebook and Twitter

Best Answer:

As a Topic Starter, you can now select a reply to your topic as the 'best answer' which will become highlighted as the "Best Answer" and will also appear at the top of that page. This useful feature will help identify the most helpful and informative pieces of information.

You can also quickly filter each forum to view answered or unanswered topics...Handy if you're looking for a trusted piece of information or if you're looking to help answer some cruise questions. Give it a try here

Share a Single Post:

You can now share a specific post within a topic, unlike in the past where you could only share a topic itself.

The days of having to count 7 posts down to find the desired post, are over!

Photos Re-design:

Our Cruise Photos Gallery has received a major facelift. The main page includes a slideshow of popular images and a unique approach to organizing album categories. View it here

Most Liked Content:

You can now view the content which has received the most 'LIKES' and may be sorted by forum posts, photos, and blogs entries.

Can be accessed by clicking the "Most Liked Content" text link towards the bottom of the Forum Index page, or here

Likes in Member's Profile:

A new tab has been added to our profiles which allows you to see both the content that the member has most recently liked, as well as content the member has created which has been most recently liked. For an example check out my profile here

Emoticons in Signatures:

Already available within forum messages, you can now insert these fun smilies aka emoticons, into your forum signature. Update your signature here

Commenting On-The-Fly:

When you comment on an article, blog entry, photo, or any other piece of content, the entire page no longer needs to refresh.

Your comment will appear instantly. Try it here

Enhanced Text Editor:

You can now copy & paste rich-text content from other sources into a forum message, with the original formatting intact
