We are enhancing the AARP Online Community to provide an improved user experience while preserving the connections and conversations you value.

To make that possible, we will be transitioning to a new platform that provides a strong foundation for today's experience and future enhancements.

Whether you are using a computer, tablet, or smartphone, you will continue to have a place to connect, share experiences, and discover helpful information.

Over the next few weeks, we will share updates and guide you through the transition, so you will know what to expect every step of the way.

[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.
