Can't access discussion boards

ndbsparke020618

Why can't I access the discussion board for the Panama Grits and Glory trip in November?  I've signed up for it, requested twice to be added, but have not received a response.

    I had this problem for a trip that is not until May 2020. When I clicked on the "Join the Discussion" button, I got an error message that the "page no longer exists". I thought perhaps the long lead time was the issue. I emailed them and they had to "add" me to the discussion. Not sure why an enrollee is not automatically added to the discussion board for that trip. The boilerplate info for discussion groups says you will be "invited to join" the discussion. I was not. Now, I'm not sure whether there are any other enrollees for that trip or not! How will they know they need to request to be added?

    Bonny, when you go to the private discussion page click "More" beside the program number and then click on "participants" to see if others are enrolled. Their names should pop up. Do scroll down to see everyone.

    My experience is also that people rarely respond on the program discussions. I started a thread on my program for October - can see there are 24 others enrolled and so far have 10 "views" of my thread but so far no one has raised their head above the parapet, lol! I should have made it a more general question!

    My thought is that the forums - both the public ones here and the private program forums are difficult to find. I'm not sure why they are so hidden. Much easier to navigate around other travel forums!

    Wow thanks for the heads up. At least can see an estimate of number of participants using that navigation. Surprised RS did not make an announcement of that feature being added.
