Hi Neil,
Many thanks for your message and you thoughts on the community - they are always welcome and without the users telling us what works and what doesn't, the community would never develop.
To begin with, i do agree with you about the navigation. The 'Your Community' tab on the top menu bar should come to the front when you are on that page - i'm not sure if this is an error, or if it was missed off the designs for the new site so i will look into this and get it changed. It will certainly make the navigation less confusing for users.
To post a new message, and not a reply, simply select the section of the message board you want to add your post to - so Your Tour Managers, Your Holiday Tip etc - at the top of the page, below where it says 'Here you can....' there is the option to post a new message.
Am very sorry if you've experienced delays with your messages. The Just You Community is managed manually, and while we do try to guarantee that all messages will be approved within 24 hours of posting, with weekends taking longer, unfortunately this means that your messages won't appear instantly.
If there is anything else you would like to ask, please to hesitate to get in touch. Once again, many thanks for your comments and suggestions.
Kind regards,
Cheryl, your editor
