Can't join Trip Discussion from Upcoming Programs page

Same problem. Can't get there from upcoming. Can't go to North America to discuss. Not all states are there and now some discussions are being held in the wrong state for the programs. Can look for your program number in the discussion board and hope to find something.

Replying to my own issue. LOL. I found a semi workaround. Open your account. Select your upcoming trip. Click on the name of the trip. On the top right choose Discuss. It opens a discussion on the trip. May not be your specific dates but better than nothing at this point.

Hi - I had an issue with accessing the discussion board for my trip & emailed RS about it around mid-June. It appears to be fixed. I logged in, selected my trip & then clicked on Trip Discussion. It took me to a discussion board about the specific trip & dates for which I signed up. You may want to email RS about the error message you're receiving.

I did report via email and on phone; not sure what's up. Just tried and same error. I am using Google Chrome as my browser.

I still can not get to my discussion board and I leave in 4 days. Have used workaround to get to general discussion from trip detail page but not from my account. I had found them very helpful in the past.

When I go to My Account, and select Past Trips, and try to sign in to the Discussion Board, I found that it has NEVER worked. I reported this to RS multiple times, but it is still not working months later. Could someone from RS please update all of us?

Hi, I think is best if you have "no expectations" for access to their "discussion board" because if you read any of

the postings it doesn't exist-I wonder what their afraid of.

I don't understand why it is not working and has never worked. On the old Web site, it worked. The only problem with the old version was that it showed your real name and possibly the date you would be gone, so that was a security risk.

Hello, it appears at one point you were a member but were somehow removed. We have re-added you to the discussion for your past trip and hope you enjoyed it very much!

Hello, we apologize that you were not added to the discussion board for your program that you're on sooner. We have now added you as a member so you can discuss after you return with those who traveled with you. We hope you are enjoying your trip very much!

It took 3 phone calls and several emails over 3 weeks, but it's working for me now.

I was able to get to my program discussion for several weeks...no longer able to get there - getting that same error message...surely someone at RS should be able to fix this recurring problem...please help!

Same problems with discussion boards and it’s 5 months later. I don’t think RS cares about making the site better. It’s buggy and needs a lot of work.

Hello, we apologize for the delay in reaching out to you. We have checked the discussion board for the trip you're attending and it appears you are a member of the board. Please let us know if you encounter any further issues with accessing it. ~ Your Friends at Road Scholar

Hello, we have checked your date specific discussion board and you are currently a member. Feel free to reach out to us if you are still having trouble accessing it at this time. We hope you have a wonderful time on your trip! ~ Your Friends at Road Scholar

I'm not sure what you're checking but accessing my date specific discussion still isn't working for me. I'm getting the same message. I cleared my cache (even though I don't know if that has anything to do with it). This is how I'm trying to access the Discussion Board for my upcoming trip. Please tell me if I should do something different. 1) After logging into My Account, I scrolled down to Trip Discussion on the left side. 2) Click on Trip Discussion. That's when I get the following message -

Welcome to the Road Scholar Discussion Boards!

Not seeing your discussion board? We’re sorry, but it may be under construction or unavailable.
If you just enrolled in your program, check back in 48 hours to access the discussion board. If you still don’t see a discussion board by then, please email us at contact@roadscholar.org or call us toll free at (877) 426-8056, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. ET.
Please note that we are only offering discussion boards for programs that began March 20th, 2017 and after.

Road Scholar, this function IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. Too many people are complaining about this same issue. It's become very frustrating.

Hello, we do apologize for the difficulty you've had in accessing your date specific trip board. We have added you as a member of that board today so you can begin to communicate with others going on this trip. We hope you have a wonderful time on your adventure! Sincerely, Your Friends at Road Scholar

I found that when I emailed contact@roadscholar.org, provided them with the name, program # and date of the program in which I'm registered, along with my order number (found on my Upcoming Trips page), and asked them to give me access to the Trip Discussion for that program, I had access within a couple of days.

I realize we should not need to take that step, but, at least for me, it worked.
