Questions for Forum Admin.
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, May 15, 2003 1:35 AM
1. How is it that links to some posts have names and cities listed, but others don't? How does one provide that info to the link.

2. Could it be made possible to download a whole thread at a time, or at least a big chunk of one with just a click. This would make it much easier and quicker to follow a thread. Sometimes my on line time is very limited and it would be helpful to be able to read offline in spurts as time permits.

Thankyou
RmC

Good points, all of them. I have also found this to be an awkward forum to use. The one thing that I DO like though, is the automatic advancement to the top of the list, of responded-to posts. That feature should certainly remain, should Kalmbach give this site a much needed overhaul.

To the contrary, cabforward. I will let you know that we are a couple of weeks away from new forums at Trains.com (provided everything goes smoothly).

Thanks for your continued patience.

Erik, Forum Admin.
Thanks for the info, i must admit the thread following is a bit irksome, and i for one, would like to see the ability to follow the wholw thing on one click. (see airliners.net for an example)
otherwise the site,contributers,and subjects are just fine, and thanks to all who input.Thats the grovelling over now
