Why is the forum so hard to find

Postby DenverGuy » Fri Dec 15, 2023 3:39 pm

I referred several friend to this site and they mentioned how hard it was to find this forum, and I see what they mean.
I don't understand why it's almost hidden.

I don’t understand either, and this question has been asked before, but no response to my knowledge. The forum link used to be included in the main drop down menu options at the top. I wish they would put it there again.

I agree! This board used to be a lively place to meet, share, support each other and make friends. And it used to be easy to refer friends. No so much anymore.

And what's with the pop up ads that appear here. That's new. Does everyone get that, or is it some function of my computer?

I have asked this question myself, several times.

The Forum is a ghost town compared to what it used to be with the link hidden at the bottom. Who looks there?

This is how it used to be on the home page about 10 years ago when the Forum, AKA Discussion Board, was super lively, helpful, and very popular. After that, the website kept getting redesigned and the Forum got more and more lost and much less active.

That's the perfect page design! All the important things people are looking for are right there - not hidden behind drop down menus.

Heck, this place isn't even in a drop down menu, is it? And with the address change from an offshoot of the main website to mcdougallforums.com, all the old links collected over the years don't work, either.
