How do we know we've been either accepted or rejected to the blogsherpa program?
Under my travel blog, I used to see "your application is pending" and today I didn't see the message anymore.
No email or information whatsoever though.
Does anyone know what that mean?
Thanks

Hey Thorn Tree,
I posted a long reply on the Long Haul branch- or was trying to, anyway, and when I hit 'post message' it told me that there was an error and that I needed to input a title (but it was a reply, so it's not supposed to do that, right?). Because of that, I lost the whole message. Well, apparently, now your site saves messages as you go so I thought, well, it should be saved. So I went back to the thread, then back into compose, and there was no link saying that I could retrieve the message that was saved. So how do I get it back???? Do you have it on your servers, or something, perhaps?
Any help would be appreciated!
Steph

I have just come accross this article from 13 October 2009, where the LP's CEO is being paraphrased:
'Goldberg says he expects digital to continue growing its share of total revenues, particularly on the U.S. side, through a mixture of iPhone apps and other initiatives. It now has 600 guides now on the Amazon Kindle store and *plans to monetise its 700,000 members of the Thorn Tree travel forum*' (http://paidcontent.org/article/419-lonely-planet-picks-u.s.-chief-as-digital-sales-reach-20-million/)
I was curious to hear what do the old-time posters at TT think about 'being monetized'?

Is there any news regarding when we'll get the advanced search back? I'm becoming increasingly frurstrated at not being able to find things. The basic one is nowhere near adequate. This is the sort of website that really needs a good search function.
I appreciate it must be as frustrating for you as for us....but have you any info on progress?

Question for regulars and semi-regulars...how do you normally browse the branch here?...by recently posted or recently replied?...
The default mode of the old TT3 was recently posted so I just stuck with that and read back 3 or 4 days posts at a time every second day or so...
So how do you guys read here and what do you think the 'pros and cons' are?

Hey, I was wondering if it is possible to change your username? I know you can change your password but I don't like my username. It's just a random string of letters and numbers. Thanks in advance.

It would be very useful to access directly to trip reports written by travellers on the TT forum on a specific country. Is it possible to do that?
Thanks

The FAQs for various countries and regions are meant to be there to stop people from asking the same old questions over and over again but the problem is a lot of them are very out of date (several years old). Some contain links that don't work, visa information that is totally out of date, posts that shouldn't be there at all (i.e. those that don't give information) and totally out of date prices. This doesn't encourage people to use the FAQs to get the information they are looking for and just makes you fustrated after going through the initial posts (which are the most out of date).
Perhaps experts in each area/regular users could be nominated to go through them and delete all the out of date info (with a voucher or something as an incentive?)

Hello,
I had a very bad experience with the tour ageny Abu Asan alternative tours in Jerusalem. The agency is recommended by the Israel and the Palestine territories guidebook in the page 410.
I wanted to do my myseld the dead sea tour of the agency that normally costs 190 shekels ( divide by four for USD) as the agency did not gather enought people to do the tour. The owner of the agency Mr. Hassan was absolutey not clear about the final price of the tour as he said to me by phone the price was 190 shekels. Furthermore I only had a driver to accompany me and no tour guide whatsoever.
At tht time of paying Abu Assan argued that he needed 5 persons to fill the van and charged me 190x 5 !!!! 760 shekels. Firts of all maybe a misunderstading can be argued on this case however if for thîs price the tourists get a GUIDE and not just a driver in the package, I do not see why I...
