The old message board is still active. It is under the main "MESSAGE BOARD" tab, as "OLD SEARCH PAGE". Please provide more detail about how you typically access it if you can't find it. Are you using a computer browser? Mobile device. etc.

Where is the old message board?
Thanks for the feedback. We recently added a menu tab for Gatherings, so perhaps we added one too many tabs. I've reworked the menu tabs to combine a couple. Hopefully that will resolve the issue you have had.
One more thing to note. WordPress automatically adjusts things to the screen resolution of the device you are using. But there is a quirk if you see only the menu icon instead of the full menu. If you enter the menu through the menu icon, you must click on the down arrow (to the right) to see additional options. If you click on the word only (ie Message Board) you will only see one option. See the screen shots below. I have not yet found any way to change this.
I hope this helps. If you still have issues, please let us know. Screen Shot #1 Screen Shot #2
