    [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!

      @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 )🙄

                Does this mean we might finally be able to block posts?

                   @AARPTeri , will we be able to choose a dark theme for those of us with sensitive eyes? I can force the browser to do so, however it doesn't work with all sites.
