What is the point of this!!

What in the world is the point in splitting up the travel board even more. As if it's not fragmented enough we get this tinkering for the sake of it. We all know most people will pay absolutly no notice of this what so ever. BTW.,Shall I buy my dollars now or will it go up by the time I go on holiday

Completely agree. I posted on Andrea's thread about the changes, but didn't get a reply (surprise :rolleyes: ).

Me again ...

If the board is going to be split like this, at least half the stickies need moving over. Also most of the threads currently on the first page of the main board need to be moved.

Who thought up this great move?

I've just come to the site and cant see the point in splitting things - surely the main board is all about planning holidays so what goes in there now???

Totally agree with all of the above. Many pleas were made for a sub-board for all the budget airlines threads clogging up the board and yet this (repeated) request was ignored.

It's quite important that MSE listens to the comments above which between them probably represent about 75% of the useful and pertinent responses that people get on this particular board.

Tinkering for the sake of tinkering doesn't work. I have absolutely no understanding of how this board split has been worked out. Or why? And that will go for most people trying to post. It'll be a hell of a job to moderate.

Please reconsider, it's no shame to revert to the previous format, but this split is, in all honesty, a quite terrible decision that will negatively impact on the board.

MSE has successfully driven a big chunk of regulars off this board in the past by refusing to listen, more power to you if that is your aim, but surely this is now just self defeating?

I concur with all the above - daft idea !

I generally prefer less boards rather than more.

Yet we've received a raft of notes about the travel board being too crowded full of "I wanna" rather than actually sharing MoneySaving tips. Therefore we're trialling having an iteneries board so that the two have space.

Ok, but I agree with what has been said elsewhere about this - that most of what appears on the travel board therefore ought to be on this sub-board instead.

Why not just as mentioned above a sub board for low(ish) cost airlines, that is the one single thing that clogs the board up.

I agree with most of the above posters. The way this sub board is split, only serves to confuse, not clarify things. If the travel board were to be split it would make more sense to split it along the lines of package holidays, low cost airlines, hotels etc.
