What Happened to the Truck Camper Forum?

[srschang]

So I clicked on my link to the RV.Net Truck Camper Forum, and this website opened.  Where am I?  Where's the truck camper forum?  I found some of the recent posts here:

Is this the correct path?  Should I look somewhere else for the truck camper forum?

Thanks,

Scott

Ugh, I sure miss the old forum. Maybe some day I'll be comfortable here but ugh.

It's back. There wasn't one here originally, but it's been added now. Enjoy.

Thank you for your patience as we are continuing to improve the upgraded community! I started a truck camper group for our conversations which can be found here: Truck Camper Group.

There is currently no discrete truck camper forum. I'm confident with all the complaining going on that this will change fairly quickly.

This change was announced on the old site about a week ago in stickies at the top of every forum. The stickies directed you to the General forum for the complete story.

Long story short the old site was broken and deteriorating, and the people who built it were long gone. They had no way to fix the old site so they needed to migrate to this new site before everything was lost forever to a system failure or a hacker.

So all data in the older rv

Net forums are lost?

Hey @bennefim,

All 2.9 million posts & replies from RV.net have been migrated over to the new community. We are working around the clock to make sure all posts get moved to the correct forum! Let us know if you have any other questions. We are here to help!

I may be confused but if all 2.9 million posts and replies have migrated from the old site why can't I access any of the trip reports from the Truck Camper sub-group?  The old sticky is there with post listings but when you click on any of the old links it kicks you out to the "Groups" page.  This is at least better than it was a few weeks ago when doing this resulted in "404 - Error Page Not Found" but if the content still exists you can't get there from here.  And speaking of stickys is there no way to organize posts in a similar fashion as before?  It seems like if you are looking for something that was addressed many times it was good to have a general info sticky, a trip report sticky, a newbie sticky, etc.  I agree the format looks slick and I'm sure the platform is more stable but much seems to have been lost in translation.  JMHO

My string on 67 Avion truck campers has apparantly been taken to "travel trailers". It had about 750,000 views and several hundred thousand comments over the years. I spent a lot of time working on it so I can't imagine that "working around the clock" could have gotten that wrong. This new Forum does not feel user friendly - rather it seems to be designer friendly.

It's back today, a mod must have moved it back.

I posted a picture in the thread and brought it up in the list. Currently there are no sticky threads, so those that get the most recent posts are up top.

[dedmiston]

No. Not at all. It’s all here.

[srschang]

Thanks for the info.  I never look at stickies, so my fault.  I'm really surprised no one ever mentioned it in a post.  Where do I find all the complaining going on?  I'd like to post my complaint as well.
