AARP Relaunches Message Boards

Do you have a strong opinion on the future of Social Security? Are you a caregiver who wants to connect with others who are helping out an elderly mom or dad? Do you do volunteer work that you'd like to discuss with like-minded peers?

Go to our message boards for discussion topics.

Now you have a new outlet: AARP.org has just re-launched its message boards, where you'll be able to share your thoughts, ask your questions and voice your opinions on just about anything from mah-jongg strategies to Medicare.

Here are a few things you should know:

• Keep on top of what's being discussed with the Subscribe feature. Every time someone posts a new comment in your conversation, you'll get an email letting you know. Once the discussion has run its course, you can unsubscribe and the notifications will stop.

• Keep in mind that each post is public. Don't say anything that you wouldn't want the world to hear. Be respectful of others, even if you disagree with their opinions.

• If you find abusive or offensive material, keep in mind that each piece of content — posts, photos, comments, video — contains a Report Abuse link that will notify AARP. The moderation team will review the flagged content and determine if it should be removed.

• You can always visit the Frequently Asked Questions section for more tips.

Now you're ready to engage and meet new people. Have fun!
