How To Find Campaign Specific Looking For A Group Forum In New Interface?

So I'm in a campaign that has used their looking for group forum for some of its posts, and I can't figure out how to get to it in the new update. I'm not sure if there *IS* a way to reach it right now. Especially since it's closed off to new players as the campaign is full, but there's information and posts there I'd like to be able to see. This question might be a bit confusing since there a general "Looking For Group" forum on the forums, which is not what' I'm referring to. Each campaign has, (or had) two forums for itself. A "Discussion" forum and their "Looking For Group" forum, though now that I think about it, I'm not sure if that's what it was called now that I can't find it. How do?
I usually refer to the two locations as the "LFG Tool" and "LFG Forum". As far as I know... unless the campaign is actively listed in the LFG Tool, the only way to find that page is if you: - Have it Bookmarked - Look at your Profile  "View Topics" and "View Replies" history - Look at your GM or other players you know are in the campaign's Profile and their own View Topics and View Replies.

Previous to today's update there was a link I could click from the campaign's page that took me there, whether the forum was publicly open or not so long as I was part of the campaign. I kind of wish I could see the old page just to screenshot it, but I did try the "view topics/replies" thing, and none of my posts from that listing forum showed up. I'm a little concerned that the area in question has been destroyed. EDIT: Found the URL in my browser history, so it still exists. I've squirreled the URL away for later use for now.
The GM has access to a link for that page all the time (even if the listing is disabled). That said, I think the idea is that the Campaign Forum is what should be used for ongoing campaign discussion, while the LFG forum was only meant to be used for discussing recruitment to the game. I realize that what "supposed to be used for" and what "we did" don't always line up, but as you noted the GM can give anyone the link and they can access it. So I guess in a situation like that the best thing to do would be for the GM to just post a link to the LFG forum page in the main Campaign Forum so the players can access it...
Thank you. Once I found the link in my history, linking it in the discussion forum is exactly what I did. My feedback is that I don't think that the area should suddenly become essentially inaccessible, though I understand trying to encourage intended use cases.

I could not agree more with you Haven.  For my part, I've been have been helping our DM recruit new players for our 5th ED D&D Hoard of the Dragon Queen campaign (we need two more players).  For one thing, I've sent messages to players who applied for the game in the past.  Our DM Huskybear is a great guy and is considering input from current players in considering new players.  As I am a Plus member of Roll20 I feel I should continue to have access to at least the same stuff I had before the update...  Suddenly not having access to something you need (& that you had all along) is not a big incentive to remain a supporter.  Also, it's not like Roll20 is suddenly removing the Looking for Players part of a campaign.  Please restore that link in our campaigns!
We re-added a button that the players can now see to access the LFG listing if there is one for the campaign. Thanks!
Thank you very kindly!
