While the new Peru Forum is up and running, any update on the change of plan since Monday had long gone and none of the above programming has happened yet?

Well it's Tuesday morning west coast time. I'm not sure I'd qualify Monday as long gone :D

Presumably there will be an update soon. I doubt IB wants destinations to be 'hidden' as the norm.

Cheers.

The header will probably have to be redesigned to fit the new forum, as it's not wide enough to list it now. That will probably require some work from the web design/graphics people. My guess is that it will take a bit longer than originally thought.

Well it does appear at this time on the primary landing front page, but does appear on the secondary pages after that....

So are we seeing the final product? Newbies better know to look for destinations at the FT homepage only? So if they're in other forums, they aren't supposed to know about Destinations as being a forum like Miles & Points, Travel & Dining, Community and OMNI?

Folks, can we please have some patience? No, we haven't got the final product yet.

If they need space why not get rid of the Omni link, can newbies and those not logged in see it anyway?

Why stop at just the link? :D

Revenue. OMNI = money-maker. Of course FT could star marketing credit cards to rev-up revenue like the FTers-turned-bloggers. :D

A section blocked to google bots? Not likely. It's here solely because members want a water cooler.

Let's return to the topic of Destination forums.

Let's return to the topic of Destination forums.

So getting back to the destination forums, if the intent is to make the destination forums more visible, having quick links to each parent section easily seen to all (those logged in or not) would be a good idea. That is why I noted that the OMNI tag is available on each landing page (although not accessible to those not logged in and not having met the posting criteria ?). And yes I understand it is a work in progress....:)
