Visiting but much less.

Is anyone else really annoyed that if you are in a forum and want to change to the Europe forum that when you click the "Change Forum" drop down, the View by Tag overlays the Europe link? I have to click VERY CAREFULLY to access the Europe forum. Awful.

I'm still here and lurking

I don't log on as often either. Kind of annoying the way it is laid out now. For instance, searching by the day-topics are the best search tool-like they were before the changes. After all, who ever remembers the date they searched for something?? Please hear us someone...

Still here checking in once in a while. Changing plans and am going to hang out in the US for 2009. There is an adventurous but laid back Cowgirl Bootcamp at Alisal Ranch in Santa Ynez early May if anyone is interested. Probably move our Africa trip to end 2010. I happen to lov the colors blue and peach/lt pink but not on a Forum mixed with Fodor's Gold/Black.

I'm still alive but haven't been "active" for a year or more. The new format is just another barrier to becoming more active again, but in reality the less I visit, the less informed I am, the less I want to visit.

Fodors editors and designers - pause for thought here.

Here every day, plotting a third safari. Botswana or maybe southern TZ? Disappointed in the bashing that still goes on, but I guess that will never change. Still trying to grasp what was gained in the Big Upgrade to the site. Wish I could preview, but you work with what you gots. JW

Hello..... Yes, check in every now and then. Lack of interesting threads/topics/trip reports at the moment is another reason for slow action on the forums, perhaps? in addition to the forum re-design?

I'm a newby, but I'm getting all my planning info for Kili climb and safari here. Best real-life, candid info I've found. Planning for Feb-2010. And the links to your pics give an added realism to the trip.

Just about to use my FF miles to book MSP-JRO on NWA/KLM once it opens up.

ALSO thanks for all the feedback for those of you that I've contacted about SENE!

As with many others, I'm still here but <i>far</i> less frequently. As with many others, I feel the new format of the forum is less user friendly and I can't be bothered (in particular) with searching around for posts by date posted = ridiculous.

<<Lack of interesting threads/topics/trip reports at the moment>>

Hari, its self-fulfilling. The difficulty in navigating the site has meant less posts, at least from me. I've been posting on Lonely Planet's Thorn Tree -- a much better designed site. Although I prefer, or at least preferred, the content on Fodors.

Botsfan

I'm still reading the posts which interest me. I don't care so much for the new style, but I suppose I shall get used to it. I'm off to Botswana on 18 March, and I can't wait. I expect I'll post a trip report when I get back at the beginning of April. I'm going to my very favourite place,Jack's, with tree days fishing in the middle.

Still here, but like others less often.

Hey Botsfan(Jan)
I'll be in Bots from Mar 25-April 8. Will you still be there and if so whereabouts are you going to be?

It hurts my eyes to look at this for long and I am not <b>that</b> old. So I've given up surfing for pleasure, reading trip reports that strike my fancy, thus seeing folks' photos, getting more ideas for the future. I'm sure I've missed some great stuff. I am actively planning non-Africa trips (no safari for me in this economy) and look more carefully there.

I have to say the there's less and less on this board for me anyway. I don't suffer from lens-envy.

To those who stick around, Safari njema!

divewop- don't know if your up for something like this, but the Maun Carnival is on when you are there.
