Is IB still working on this? The new Destinations Section is still NOT included in any of the 4 above tabs. It used to be part of Travel & Dining Section.

Since Carol mentioned Destinations is a new section, should it be a brand new Jump Tab at the top? Apart from MyFlyerTalk, I would think 5 new Jump Tabs at the top would make it much easier to browse FT since our Destinations section is growing longer and longer seeing how this current TB's going with new country-specific fora.

I've always used the "Forum Jump" on the bottom right-hand side of the screen to navigate between forums and had no trouble seeing the destination forums with the reallignment.

A link in T&D would be nice, instead of having to scroll to and select from the drop-down.

IB is working on it.

That's good to hear, SanDiego1K. Destinations seems lost at its current location.

The new flat layout in "Destinations" looks great. Thank you to those responsible for fixing this!

I'm looking forward to seeing a Destinations tab added to the "Jump to Forums" bar.

Carol, may I ask for some clarification about this?

Is IB working on making the Destinations Forum/Section part of T&D, as Wally Bird suggested?

Or is IB working on making Destinations Section the 5th link in Jump to Forums at the top besides "Miles & Points", "Travel & Dining", "Community" & "OMNI"?

As I suggested up thread in post#76, I personally think a new 5th link at the top will do more justice for the new Destinations Section. Not to mention an easier to find, more pleasantly browsing experience and possibly more traffic to the new "makeover part" of FT.

This one I believe.

THAT will make me a very happy camper. Just need the confirmation from Carol.

yosithezet is right. Our tech guy at IB is working on adding the new destination section to:

Jump to Forums:
Miles & Points
Travel & Dining
Community
OMNI

I read too fast earlier when I agreed that a link would be added to T&D.

If Internet Brands needs room to add a Destinations forum link to the Jump to Forums bar, they could move the MyFlyerTalk logo and link up a few pixels to the right side of the airport graphic.

By the way — if it has not already been mentioned or requested — a new Destinations forum link should also be added to the Forums menu between Travel & Dining and Community in the dark blue bar at the top.

Good. Let me know if they will put the Destinations on the Jump bar. IF they will consider it done and then you informed everyone else.

Not sure how to bring this to attention or everyone, but the travel destinations forums are now effectively invisible unless you know exactly how to navigate through several clicks to get to them. I don't know if this change was in response to all the parochial interests trying to get special forums for localities, but one of the fun parts of FT for me was actually seeing some of the threads in the destinations forums when looking through Travel and Dining. Now, there is no real browsing through the main forums and getting to see the destinations - one has to make a concerted effort, then try to remember exactly which clicks to make to get to them.


I'm very much against this change in format. Change simply for the sake of change is rarely an improvement.

IB hopes to have the programming done on Monday to add Destinations to both the "Jump to Forums" across the top of each page and the Pulldown Menu for "Forums" at the very top of each page.

I asked the folks at IB about why Destinations was now hidden from new members. The only response I got was one yesterday, Monday April 16, which was a link to the Destinations. So how does this help new members that Destinations has no mention on Flyertalk's home page? Does IB not want new members to participate in Destination forums?

There was no mention in that email I received last night that Destinations will be a 5th forum easily accessible from the home page. Is this just a rumor?
