The thorn trre on the Lonely Planet at the Women's forum.

Topping again!

One thing I have noticed...
On some of the other forums people use whatever kind of language they want.
I would personally appreciate it if someone could express themselves without using crude language.
Frommer's seems to watch the posts closely but it is not very user friendly.
Thank you Fodors!

I wish there was a UBB message board site (other than eurotrip.com which is often pretty useless).

No, non-AOL cannot reach the message boards. I can't if I'm on a non-AOL computer although I can access my e-mail.

For a broad variety of topics and forums,
thathomesite.com has a lot to offer; it's $15. a year.

To whomever asked, No, 40 is not too old to learn to "drive" a computer. Many of us are over 60 and help our children with computers (and our children are engineers!).

As a retired music teacher, I'll tell you what I told my students . . . Practice, practice, practice.

It works.

Have fun.

Other forums I read daily are

I'm another www.lonelyplanet.com user! It's my favourite travel site by far - the users are knowledgeable, and you tend to get a lot of advice from natives rather than other tourists.
www.tripadvisor.com is great to get reviews of hotels and www.virtualtourist.com isn't bad either.

I use egullet.com and chowhound.com for tips on the best places to eat in the world.
