<p>Here are two aspects of Train's forums that bug me. What about you?</p> <p><em>Trains</em> has taken to pop up ads like fish take to water. They annoy the heck out of me. I am particularly bothered by the yellow band at the bottom of my screen that keeps telling me to subscribe to or renew my subscription to<em> Trains</em>. I just did it. <em> Trains</em> staff should have the technology to recognize me when I log-in, determine that I am a current, paid-up subscriber, and turn off the pop-up ads.</p> <p>The other thing that bugs me are postings that<strong> just</strong> include a link to a media story about trains or another relevant subject. It is especially annoying to be given a reference to a publication that is only open to subscribers, i.e. The Dallas Morning News.</p> <p>If a person wants to tell us about an important railroad event, he should summarize the article and, if appropriate, provide a link for those who want to explore the issue in greater depth. Two exceptions would be a link to video and photographs, although here too the person preparing the post should summarize the subject matter before providing a link to the video or photographs. </p>
