As a longtime user of the old OU message board, and participant in six previous OU trips, I can see why you have implemented the use of Usernames and Passwords.
Just wondering if you plan to migrate some of the old threads from the previous Message Board onto this one, as they contain a significant amount of useful information and conversation regarding OU and its tours.

Jim Woodward Hi Jim, With this new forum we wanted to give guests the option to sign up for a permanent account. We found that a number of the users on the old Message Board were frequent contributors and we wanted them to be able to log in with their own accounts if that was easier for them. Guests can still post without signing up for a full account (as with the old Message Board), if they prefer. Unfortunately, the technology does not allow us to move the posts from the old message board to this new one. Thank you for your feedback, Jim, and for being a loyal customer. |

Like Jim, I've relied on the message board for its wealth of information for my 9 previous trips and was at a loss when I saw the previous messages gone. is there any chance they would be available (by trip) in some other format, even paper?

Hey Odysseys! Cut the crap. I am a 6 time participant in your tours and look at the forum frequently. When I tried to view the old posts and not register your new and improved system wouldn't let me, AND when I registered I had to put a date of birth...really? I am not happy that you took away my ability to read questions, answers and concerns of fellow travelers. For now, if I was interested in Dalmatia I could read 1 question. None of the other concerns are there. How does this help? I get the registration part, but by doing so you took something valuable away from me. You may use my name. Joe Kaminski

Dear Mr. Kaminski,
Please accept our sincere apologies for the frustration caused by this situation. As we take our guest feedback very seriously, we are looking into ways that we can transfer information from the old board to the new format. In the meantime, should you have questions about any of our tours, please feel free to contact our Customer Service Department toll-free at (888) 370-6765, or via email: customerservice@odysseys-unlimited.com If you are looking for feedback from past travelers, we would be more than happy to provide you with copies of past Tour Member Evaluations.
Thank you for your loyal patronage.

I agree with Joek. I don't like this change in the Message Board!

Quite bizarre.....I guess the old messages were on Hillary's server and got wiped?
Best, Jim

I absolutely agree with Joe Kaminski (joek) - the previous message board for specific trips/questions was invaluable! I, too, am unhappy that you took those messages away since I used them to research for our first trip (which was wonderful) with OU and was going to use them to research our next trip.

Dear KLucas,
We are truly sorry that we could not keep the old Message Board on line - unfortunately, the platform was very old and was no longer being supported technically. As noted above, we are working to try to remedy the situation by recovering what messages we can and posting them on line. We appreciate your patience while we figure out the best way to do this.

This is very cumber-son and you cannot find any information. What is the point?

Hi Deanna,
We're sorry that you find the archive unwieldy; however, as people asked for a way to access the old information, we have tried to accommodate that. If you have any questions that we can answer directly, please don't hesitate to contact us here, by email at customerservice@odysseys-unlimited.com or toll-free at (888) 370-6765.

We are booked for Iceland, September 16, 2017. Can someone tell us if/what optional tours will be available during our time together? Is there a blog or link for other Iceland participants? Thank you.
First Timer,
Swat
