djsamuel Report post Posted December 1, 2021 Normally, I enter this forum after logging into FMCA.com. It used to be simple by using the dropdown menu at the top. Now a revision to the FMCA.com home page (after logging in) results in a more hidden route to the forums. You have to click on "MENU", then "Stay Connected" and then "FORUMS". Not a big deal on the surface, but the menu is organized in a way that makes it much less apparent there is even a forum available. If the intent is to have the forum grow, there needs to be a more prominent link to the foums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking more about people who join FMCA and have no idea where the forums are or even that they even exist. If there was a very visible link when logging onto FMCA.com, more people may join the forum. I have no problem using the menu; it actually works fine. It just seems like it is hiding the forum from new members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shouldn't there be one in the left-hand column where all the other major links are? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prior to this change, after logging-in the "Forum" was a simple "button" at the top of the FMCA home page. One of the great benefits of FMCA membership is the Forum which always has great members and great advice. Can Herman or other Forum moderators influence FMCA home office to again provide a "Forum" button at the top of the home page?

rossboyer Report post Posted December 13, 2021 If you have the FMCA app, when it opens tap on the Forums button to open the Forums also works. Additionally, when talking to someone about joining FMCA, the benefits button is easier to use than the magazine to help in convincing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now you can see the forum option by just clicking on menu and it is at the top. No need to drill down further under "Stay Connected". It is much more apparent to new users. Thanks.
