....I'm still trying to sort it out. Somewhat confusing. Perhaps it will be ok once one understands what we have now. My first message didn't go through. Refered me to Webmaster...No word back yet...???

We were having a problem with posting for part of Monday and Tuesday morning. The posting error has been fixed and things should be working smoothly now.

It's a great improvement.
I have a problem that my name now seems to show up in full instead of the slightly cryptic moniker that I used to have. Can't seem to change that in the profile. I may have to create a new identity and start over as a tenderfoot.
I really like the fewer clicks to navigate and exit the threads.
Is there a way to tell which threads I've read and which I've contributed to?

No, there isn't a way to tell exactly which threads you've read, but the folder icons will indicate which threads are new (or have been replied to) since your last visit. The pinkish purple folder indicates the thread is new (or has been replied to) since your last visit. The yellow indicates it's an older thread.

If you visit your profile page (or anyone's for that matter) you should see the last 10 topics and the last 10 replies you've posted. It's not a comprehensive list, but it's a start.

There is also an option to "Track a topic" where you can choose to be notified when a new reply has been posted since you last read that specific topic. Some forums refer to this as either "Watching a topic" or "Subscribing to a topic". One difference in how this is setup on this site is that you'll only be notified once until you come back to that topic. So as an example, if you chose this option, leave the site and 20 replies have been made since you last read that topic, you'll only receive one message.

Like anything else, you have to get used to find your way around, just do not change it for a long while. I appreciate all things that are available to us. The many topics and photos are great. I like the web-cams and wi***here was one in the new jersey and new york area too. Keep up the good work. I am a railfan,work in h-o,and work with a live steam club. seee ya!
