What happened to the forum?

Don’t all look so glum. There’s still a place online to talk about Puerto Viejo. Photo courtesy Tropical Adventures.

A number of people have commented that the forum has disappeared from Puerto Viejo Satellite and they missed it. Sorry to all you fans but I had to remove it.

The forum unfortunately kept getting attacked by spammers and the forum software made it very laborious to delete these spammers. I tried making it harder to register and then people had trouble getting registered but the spammers still found their way through. So with all the hassles…that was the end of it.

But you may have noticed I recently added the ability to comment on any place listed on the site, for example here’s the page for Cocles Beach.  For other places and businesses: go to the map page, open the listing you’re interested in from the links on the left or below the map and then click view full listing.  So that’s a great place to rave (or rant) about a good meal you’ve had for example.

And of course, you’ve always been able to post comments about our news stories here on the Talamanca News as the lively discussions about the marina, Le Cameleon and the jailed rapist has shown.

But what if you need a place to post your car for sale, to look for a good electrician or to find people interested in starting a ukulele trio?

Don’t despair.  You can use the discussion threads on our facebook page.

The link to go directly to the discussion area is here and I’ve also added it to the Discuss menu from the main site. Don’t forget to “become a fan” of Puerto Viejo while you’re there if you’re a facebook user and share photos etc.
