    [7/23/26] @AARPTeri , thanks for the "heads up". Will any forums be DELETED?

    Yes, it mentions here - https://www.aarp.org/games/community-information/ that we will be removing forums that haven't had activity in the past few years, and we will be making small modifications, but most of the topics will look very familiar to you all!  We are so excited for this!

      [7/23/26] Apologies @AARPTeri , I read ALL the material, but missed the part about forums being removed.

      @AARPTeri   I noticed Private Messages will not transfer.  Is that only the messages we currently have?  Or will the feature of Private Messages no longer exist?  Thank You.

        @shamit Yes we will still have the feature, only the messages you currently have will not transfer.

            Hi Teri

            the system is not letting me add a photo from my library or from my saved AARP photos. Is this having to do with the new community format (no more photos )🙄

              [7/27/26] Lucy @rednexsrus , here is my 1/2 cent input. 🙄

               

              When I had "noticed" this CHANGE myself, one of my AARP friends said she can STILL "see" her album of pictures on HER COMPUTER.

               

              But NOT on her phone.

               

              I now DONOT have a "laptop" with retirement & the last one having to be buried.

               

              I refuse to drive to the library down my hill to use their computers & laptops.

               

              So I said "goodbye" to my album as apparently with the CHANGE, if using a "phone" (I am) to VIEW this AARP Community Site = you can NO LONGER see your Photo Album.

               

              I am sure AARP Teri will "respond" when she can. I am "curious" myself. This CHANGE happened about 2 weeks ago I think. I had PMed a few people, and you were one - thinking it was just me. But I guess now that it has been "announced" about the August 5th CHANGES - it is everyone on a phone.

               

              Take care my friend,

              Nicole 💛🤗
