Me two! One hundred percent!  I used to check the old forum a couple of times a day and post at least once.  this one is so time consuming, I have trouble finding my way back to where I started.  I miss you guys, :-(  sniff, sniff

Couldn't agree with you more Brewmax.

It's a time factor for most people.  The old forum allowed for very quick and easy access so one could pop in an post something several times a day, if desired, with only a few clicks of the mouse.  Now it's more time-consuming to get on to even make one post on one thread so that limits the postings and the fun of it all.

 And on the old forum we could read so many posts on so many threads in so little time, while here it takes much more time and energy and FOCUS!  The old forum provided such a wealth of information and fun in such a short amount of time, even using dial-up, that I found it to be a great resource.   Now it's almost faster to drive into town and meet up with women at happy hour or other events to talk than it is to chat with them online here.

I miss the old forum, but particularly some of the women who used to frequently post there.

Susan! How are you? Good to see at least one post. Do you have dial-up access? Those who do are just giving up on this site because it's too time consuming.

There are so many people missing from the old Forum! It's a shame............

Hi Jeri,

Another Olivian just emailed me about "forum" saying many single women signed up for the 100th cruise were chatting there instead of "connect". Unless they are on the "old" site I could not locate such a thread. I'm single and traveling with a friend from work (no need to have roommate anxiety that way!) and we are interested in meeting other women before the trip starts. You seem a fountain of info and resources for Olivia questioners so I am hoping you can direct me to the place where all the single 100th cruisers are hooking up. I'd like to join whatever group is set to be the non-stop revelers and fun seekers for this special trip! Hope you can help!

Hello -

I'll send this suggestion to our developers - hopefully we'll be able to put something in place.

As for live chat, I haven't heard that we'll be adding that at this point. Perhaps down the line a bit after we finish launching the new website.

Hi! 

 
That is a great idea -  I also was hoping that Olivia would create a chat area...  so we can all connect real time.
