Ha Ha Ha! Now I can post whatever I want to, and not have to worry about critics challenging me with "What has that got to do with railroading?" Not all change is bad
Does that mean that Balt can bring back the animations?

I am not in control of that.
conrailman Bring Back the Old Website Now. It was more easy too get too things. Now its harder too find. This New Websites S***. I concur.This is atrocious. Did anyone at Kalmbach (1) review the changes and (2) do -any- customer surveys? Bring Back the old model!

I really like the new design for both the online Trains and the online Classic Trains.
But here's my problem. What's most important to me is the two print magazines. I see where Kalmbach will now force me to but the digi Trains in order to get the print editions. So there's $50. Then $30 for CT. So I'm already in for $80.
As for online, I sometimes look at the Newswire, I enjoy the forums, and I have often found reading one or two The Way It Was stories is a nice thing to do in bed at night before nodding off.
Well, it appears that from now on I won't have access to old TWIW stories without doing the Unlimited thing. The forum and Newswire is free. So I'd be paying an additional $88 just for TWIW online. I don't have much interest in all the other special content, nor do I have the time, really. Between what I now do, plus reading RR books, railfanning, and all of my other time- and money-consuming interests, I can't justify another $88 to Kalmbach. In fact, there's a chance I'll drop Trains and just get CT, which I enjoy more.
However, for someone who wants to take advantage of a lot of the special content, the price seems fair to me.
I hate the new design. I can't believe this but Im about ready to tell Kalmbach good bye and cancel all my subscriptions after many years. I used to be able to click on scroll down through the news items and then click on the ones that interest me. Then they went to the "digests" which required you to click on it to find out what is in. Now it's a bunch of boxes. No concern for what the customer wants just take it or leave it. They have learned well from the rail industry.

Many enterprises have turned to red ink and dust when invoking pay to play.

Yeah, that definitely needs work. A simple one column layout would be far better.
What exists TODAY March 5, 2021 is not progress from what existed March 3, 2021.
This Website is complete Joke of a site.
The digest idea was bad enough and now these big boxes. I'd like each news item listed from newest to oldest on one page with a "more" feature for "even older".

rixflix aka Captain Video. Blessed be Jean Shepherd and all His works!!! Hooray for 1939, the all time movie year!!! I took that ride on the Reading but my Baby caught the Katy and left me a mule to ride.
Ehh, I'm kinda-sorta getting used to it, exploring all the nooks and crannies.
Shock of the new I suppose. The thing is, I just HATE learning to swim by being thrown into the deep end of the pool, know what I mean?
As a print subscriber I resent being extorted to become a digital subscriber.
Same here. But it's only $5 more. Whattayagunnado?

P O your existing customers - what a great way to expand business! NOT!
BaltACDFrom my perspective - in calling up the Forum, I don't get the large 'Trains' header. I get a number of entries concatonated over top each other.
So Balt,
Has this "bunched up" style error been corrected for you today? I'm getting it rendered properly in all 3 browsers now.

It has been rendering properly since the day AFTER I made that post.
but still no spelchek
One of the things I like and respect George Hamlin for is that he reads and responds to the comments to his blog. I belong to another organization where the moderator always responds to comments about the nuts and bolts of the site. That would be a good idea here.
rdamonbut still no spelchek
I have taken to using the spell check that is available within Windows 10.
Oddly, spell check works on person to person messaging, but not on the forum itself, suggesting that spell check might be turned-off intentionally for the forums. Perhaps a performance related issue?
p.s. I just sent an e-mail to your grade school spelling teacher, congratulating her for the fine mess she made for us..
We need change, even if it's somewhat stressful. A brain not subjected to stress and change is missing opportunities to learn and to remain young. A brain that isn't forced to contend with novelty turns to mush. Ask me how I no.

I thought I just felt an angel with a ruler hit my knuckles

Oh Nooo, the rulers!!! On the back of the lightweight wood ones (probably cost a dime) I would scribe elaborate railroad track diagrams with a ballpoint pen and trace train movements. That must have been around fifth grade, when we were allowed to use the new-fangled pens and put away the fountain ones.
Sometimes I would proudly bring in the heavy bronze ruler that our family's hardware business would give to the big accounts. "Who, me?". Sister Laetitia impulsively picked it up and then it came down Whanggg on my knuckles.
The other sound I remember was that of the brass tipped wooden yardstick hitting the behind of corduroy pants; a peculiar combination of whistle and whoosh.
I survived.
I got an e-mail from Juniatha, neither she nor Sara T can use Private Message or post pictures now.
WHAT is going on?
The hallmark of Kalmbach IT has been fix one thing and break three others.
