Is itineraries (flight connect) broken?
 
I haven't used the calendar in several years because I try my best to fly nonstop whenever possible, but I have a layover (by necessity) next week, and was planning on adding a calendar entry. I got to the March page, only to discover that it was (completely) empty and I seemingly couldn't create a new event. Am I doing something wrong (maybe looking in the wrong place)? I am logged in, in case that's not obvious.

I honestly don't even know where that function/page is located

I have no idea how to navigate there, but I found the URL by Googling it:

There is still a link to the "itineraries" sub-forum in the "community" section.

In its first iteration, members would create threads describing their planned flights/layovers (e.g. "ORD 2p-4p 3/31"). IIRC, this worked pretty well for airport meetups, but the format was a little clumsy as the member base grew.

During v2, the sub-forum was supplemented by (i.e. coexisted with) the FlightConnect calendar:

The last time I availed of this feature set myself (can't recall exactly when, but figure 2017 or so), we were down to calendar only (call this v3). While this was somewhat soulless (i.e. minimal opportunities to discuss where you'd like hang out in airport X), the concept still worked effectively (e.g. 1. create calendar entry 2. others can PM you).

Since it's seemingly been established that "FlightConnect" is no longer a thing, I'm curious about FT's current solution, assuming one exists.

We're going to remove that option from the forum listing
