Try either the forum index or the jump list at the bottom of each page.

If you use forum jump, you will find Destinations between Travel & Dining and Community. If you use My FlyerTalk, you can subscribe to specific forums.

Now that I've added it to those you can find with forum jump (which I did roughly two hours ago), I'm a bit perplexed as to why it should be problematic to find.

it still doesnt appear on the line of Jump to Forums at least when I go to FT that is,I still only see 4 choices and the 'My FlyerTalk' and no way to click onto Destinations

once it appears Im sure it will a much added benefit ^

I think they're talking about the "Forum Jump" selection at the bottom of the page ... above the ...

"All times are GMT -4. The time now is 3:30 pm." (or similar)

I hope there will be a shortcut to "Destinations" under "Forums" as well as under "Jump to Forums" at the top of the page. Not being able to navigate to a major section of the forum without scrolling down to the bottom of the page does not seem like a good website design. ;)

Just to bring a little clarity to the situation, you're talking about the Forums drop-down menu in the navigation bar at the top of every page on FlyerTalk?

The new forum is accessible via the main forum index at http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/index.php as well as in the Forum Jump menu (as described above). I'm not sure where else one would go to look for forums, so if the Forums drop-down menu in the nav bar can be addressed, that would take care of it.

I finally figured out what people mean and have asked IB to update it. It's the line across the top:

Jump to Forums:

Miles & Points
Travel & Dining
Community
OMNI

Well I don't like the new set-up at all...I can't find what I'm looking for now. :td:

That could of course be a mixture of old age, laziness and being so used to the old layout right enough.

Oops, missed that one myself, too!

So just to be clear, there are five ways to access the various forums on FT:

-The Forums menu in the nav bar across the very top of the screen
-The Jump To Forums bar you just referenced
-From the main forum index page
-From the Forum Jump popup menu near the bottom-right corner of the screen
-From MyFlyerTalk (if one has subscribed to a forum there)

Any others I've missed? :eek:

The "Jump to Forums" Travel & Dining was the way I used to access the Argentina and UK forums.

The first two methods were what I was referring to earlier. Apologies for not explaining more clearly.

I certainly didn't mean to lump everyone else under 'Australia'. That would be as bad as putting 'Canada' under 'the US'.

In my ramblings I apparently didn't ramble long enough to include Oceania. No oversight was intended, and apologies to any Kiwis or others I may have offended.

(New destinations do look good!)

No offense was taken exbayern. In fact, I'm surprised that someone from Perth hasn't chimed in to take me to task as they may well think that Australia would better sit under Asia than Oceania.

Congratulations Carol on your work doing this. May I make one suggestion? There's an errant apostrophe in there, it should be "koalas" not "koala’s". I wouldn't be churlish enough to mention it if it was in a post, but it would look good to change it in the description. And ten out of ten for not calling them "koala bears"!

Thank you. I genuinely appreciate when I get help like this. It looks like amateur hour when typos sneak thru and go unchallenged.

It can be awkward to correct someone, thanks for understanding my reason for doing it.

A global announcement is up.

Errr... it's not showing for me.
