My computer crashed and I lost my link to the Lounge...

Does anyone know how I can get back in?

Meaning you have to sign in again? Email the editors if you've lost your password.

I haven't lost my password...I simply can't find the lounge! My previous access to it was from a link I've had since the lounge opened, and that's what I lost. My attempts to "find" it (the lounge) don't work.

You should be able to see the lounge at the bottom of the "Change Forum" drop-down menu if you are properly logged in to Fodors.

If you had to replace your computer, the FODORs software may consider you a new user and you are locked out. I also think an e-mail to the editors is your best bet.

If logged into your account which you would have to be to post you can go there one of two ways. Go above here to the tabs and click forums, will be on the very bottom or click your profile picture at the top of this page and when it comes up click to the left to change forums and the lounge should be listed.

If you are logged in and can't see the lounge listed as an option then I agree with dwooddon that Fodor's thinks you are a new user. I hope the editors are helpful in giving you back the keys to the kingdom….hope you report back that you were successful.

Try this link.

http://www.fodors.com/community/fodorite-lounge/


If you can't get in then something is wrong with your account. The computer you use should be irrelevant. I can access my account from any computer, even one I've never used before.

Either email them or post on the Forums Help board.

When my hard drive needed to be replaced I didn't lose my 'old timer' status and retained lounge access.

So something else may be going on. To be clear - the Lounge does not display on the Change Forum drop down menu??

If you can get there through that link, then you have Lounge access. Click the Change Forum link - does the Lounge show there? If so you always had access.

Janisj, I just put the Lounge on my favorite places, so now I have the link. It works every time!

But do look at the pull down menu - that will tell you if you have access or not . . .

Your access should be tied to your account, not your computer. I access the lounge from any number of places - just sign on and it is there. No special link needed.

That is why I just think Susan merely lost her bookmark/favorite and never lost access . . .

The Lounge was a legendary place where the travel Gods gathered to discuss any topic that was non-travel related...

... where any mortal could gain the wisdom of the Gods and observe said gods wilst they forged the world as we know it...

... alas as in all Greek Tragedy... the Gods began to clash, and Lo did it become a Clash of Titans leaving behind a bloody battlefield... the pile of Claras, Neos, beachplums and Coldies was as far as the human eye could see...

... The leader of the gods (the great and powerful ED Itor)looked upon the rubble and shouted to the skies "We shall Close the Lounge and let those on the battlefield take their final Breath" and thus the Giant Gates were swung closed for those who wished to enter...

...and slowly they did Die, with modest effort to occasionally rally a pie recipe or trade on their ailments...

... now it's mostly "Cat Ladies" and people with critters in their vent pipes...

…and a one eunuch Greek chorus whose weird obsession with mocking them apparently compensates for the castrated loss of his private bits.
