[quote user="Murphy Siding"][quote user="futuremodal"] <p>[quote user="matthewsaggie"]I'm not so sure this is an improvement. I liked the "Trains" forum because it covered everything in one place, while others like railfan.net, are so fragmented. Now I have to check three sections to the forum each time to cover all my interests (general, transit, and passenger). Oh well, we will see how it goes. <br />[/quote]</p><p>It just means you'll have to open three windows in your browser instead of the one when you log in to the site. That way you can still cut and paste quotes from one thread into another if such is relevant. Just make sure to reference which section you got it from.</p><p>[/quote]<span class="smiley">[:O]</span> You mean I can't just make this stuff up?<span class="smiley">[;)]</span>[/quote]</p><p>You can continue to make up stuff all you want.<span class="smiley">[:-,]</span></p><p><span class="smiley">But say we have a situation where we're talking about....oh, let's see, something that has a cross sectional characteristic, oh! I know.........modern steam locomotives to avoid using foreign sources of oil. In the other section they might be discussing how the T1 could have beaten diesels if it had gone further into development. In this one we might be discussing what type of modern steam could allow lower cost operation than diesel. If one posts something in the former that has merit for discussion in the latter, we can cut and paste it. But then it might confuse some people who can't find that quote in the GD section, which may bring on charges of "making it up". But if we reference it from the other section, then everyone's happy.</span></p>
