SooBlue - go to the red box marked Members up above. Put in your "handle" for a search - it will bring you up. Then open that up and you should be able to see your last ten trips to the forum.

This is the first day of the new format for me, I've been here about a half an hour or so, and am gradually finding my way around. Looks pretty good, it will take some time to get used to it though.

It does seem a little "backwards" though. It used to be that the latest posts were right at the top, now you have to go down to the bottom of the last page. Let's see if we can turn that around..

There are far too many ignorant trolls and far too few knowledgeable railroaders or railfans on this particular forum. Moderators should be capable of blocking troublemakers from accessing the forum even when they change i.d..'s, as I know that that has been done on other Snitz forums.

I left here several years ago because there were too many irrational trolls posting then, and I see that even though the forums improved greatly in format, the quality of the discussions has decayed to the point that's it's a waste of time to even bother looking. I'll leave y'all alone from now on!

The magazine is getting politically, start reporting about what makes a railroad tick, history, etc.

Learning to get the hang of it and understand how it works. Lots of good questions. So far I like, but have not had much time to check things out.
Thanks
