I was wondering the same. I’m getting reminders about Verifly too, but can’t see what benefit it brings since I’ve got a load of bags to check in.

A list of most recent posts would actually be very useful.

How useful – well some other forums realise this is such a powerful tool they have it as their root address page! For a travel example that is really basic but works well, see:

Doesn’t the ‘recent topics’ button already do that (though it is mislabelled as it shows recent posts rather than topics/thread)

I could have sworn I just replied to this a minute ago.

Anyway, doesn’t the ‘recent topics’ button do that? (though it is mislabelled)

I always presumed you could buy an off-the-shelf forum solution. I mean, most forums I’ve visited have major similarities.
This one however seems to have all sorts of oddities and issues as if someone has tried reinventing the wheel.

Nothing was wrong with daily chat threads, no need for these hard to navigate forums. Classic case of if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

There were a few things wrong, such as the inability to edit your post, or not getting any notification when people reply to your comment – to name a few.

£300 per zirconium crown is your target.

Is anyone else feeling a bit lost today with this new forum? My head hurts trying to read and navigate it and just feels like so much useful info will be missed in all the sub groups of the sub groups of the sub groups which you could just pick up scrolling through the daily chat. I miss the good old days 🙁

Are you a first timer on an internet forum? though admittedly, some key features don’t seem to be enabled or working.

I wonder if this third attempt at a reply will work?

EDIT: interesting. I hit the quote button and submitted – twice, but neither one has appeared.
A direct reply (this post) has appeared though.

Anyone know if the standard menu vegetarian meal tends to run out early?
My travel partner is currently meat free, but is reluctant to book a special vegetarian meal as unsure what it might be.
We don’t have status and no idea how far from the galley we’ll be seated so am considering ordering the special meal regardless, just to be sure.

My Monese balance has been 10p since last year. I just top it up as and when a gift card promo comes along.

Thing is, Rob says the majority of the site readership is silent and London-based (and possibly millionaires?) but acknowledges that the commentary is mostly from those who are not from London.
If that is indeed the case, then why have a section dedicated to the minority who do not comment much (or at all), and no sections for those who DO leave comments on the site?
Seems very odd to me.

[Aston100]

Leaving London after more than twenty five years was one of the best things I’ve ever done.
You don’t realise how bad a place is until you revisit after moving away.

I paid a discounted price of £27.20pp for the Qured supervised test using code BATRAVEL15

[Aston100]

Oh God, will we see annoying references to ‘orange juice’ and other code words that’ll make Bendy Beardy Seagulls seem mild?

[Aston100]

Bit of a silly section to begin with don’t you think?
