Do you like the new Fodor's Home Page?
Thought I had landed in the wrong Forum tonight! So...do you like the new Fodor's Home Page??? Travel Talk seems to be buried way down there. You really have to look for it & I knew what I was looking for!

Fodors has Travel Talk buried because the forums have more accurate up to date information than the guides have.
We don't provide revenue. The ads and booksales provide revenue.
A lot of the information on these forums contradicts that in the Fodors travel guides.
Think about the last time you flipped through a Fodors travel guide or the mini guides on the site and seen something glaringly obvious that was missing/ommited/wrong?

I think fodors has added opther features w/the change. I saw one post after the change where there was no way to post a reply, the captions at the top and bottom of the post have been removed, so you can still read the post but not add to it.

And, Travel Trivia (my favorite feature!) is waaaaay @ the bottom! I can't get to that via the top tool bar.
All in all, I find the new home page "cluttered". There's too much in your face when you open it up. And, add to that the Expedia pop up (as mentioned already) & the over all experience is annoying.

In this day and age, why would anyone NOT have a free popup stopper installed on his/her computer? I'd go crazy without one!
I too keep the talk forum bookmarked. I actually go right to the Europe one, then come here after going through it. I had no idea there was a new Home page; I never see it.

Good point about the free pop-up stoppers, Patrick. The reason that I do not install a "free" pop-up stopper is b/c I believe that nothing is ever "free"! And, when I read clauses such as the following that routinely appear in Free Pop-Up Stopper User Agreements I am reminded of this.
"Nothing contained in this Agreement limits x's( name of co.) liability to you in the event of death or personal injury resulting from x's negligence or for the tort of deceipt (fraud)."

Wow, I am with you on the travel trivia, before I'd try to answer practically each question, now I'm not going to scroll down to look for it!
As for the new layout - before it was easy just to click on USA forum, now I have to go to "talk" and wait and wait and wait till it loads, it's so slow now!
