Recall, Folks;

It has not been that long since the "Technowizardary'  of Kalmbach added a whple nother layer of That Cyber Tecgbiwizardary when they farmed out some of their Customer Service, and who knows what else (?) to that Third Party Provider down yonder in the East Texas Pineywoods?

WWith the influx of the 'undocumented'Alien from across the Border. Who knows what adventures may await those of us out here in Cyberland? Whistling

More?

In the Mies van der Rohe sense.

Or perhaps Thoreau on government, adapted to apply to cybernetics instead.

The whole message thing is unsupported on mobile; ironic as one of the radical Kalmbach 'redesigns' was to make the Trains 'user experience' more mobile friendly.

The good news is you can work around the idiocy/incompetence by choosing the 'full site' option. Problem then is that the auto resize on a phone makes text entry often blind, almost Zen-like, and a picture or URL in a post can make the 'reply' or 'submit' buttons inaccessible even in landscape.  (Workaround for the latter is to reply to some other post in the thread that does not have the unhandlable content, btw)

 

Thanks!   More technowizardry  from those fine folks at Kalmbach.

That's excellent news! I can quit trying to fix this.

I was using my phone, and I was logged in to Trains and to Trains Forums. I saw that I had a message waiting.

But when I clicked on the link to the message I got a box saying that I'm not authorized to view that. I used the log-in button that was right there, and typed in my email and password. Then I got a message saying "Server Error in '/Customer' Application, plus lots more techno gobbledygook.

Any clues what this is about?

I could clear the phone's cookies, but on the phone my only option is to clear ALL the cookies, which means that I have to go back to square one on several sights I am now logging into automatically ...

I was able to access the message fine on the computers.

Sad

Still in training.
