I agree. as soon as I get my new putor in ( had it the other night but had to send it back as it wouldn't open the cd/dvd door.) going to talk to the guys at time warner Roadrunner and get everything set correct and I'll be back in the gauge everytime I change the settings on this one they get changed back with a update its hard enough trying to keep where I can get into this one because of them let alone trying to doit for 2 or more lol.

Funny how progress isn't really progress the original coffee pot was 1570 pages long before it was closed for a new one. something just seems wrong here ? http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/t/14891.aspx?PageIndex=1570
It's their show but how come we could run a year and 500+ pages, now we can't get a month at a time. very strange. Somethings wrong and it's not us.

Hi Guys..............
We got switched to another siding again.
Maybe we need to put the word "Train " in each of out posts. Would that make them happy?
I must be missing something. What is the difference between continuing the thread until Mar. 1, or starting a new thread and linking it to the previous thread?

Evening guys!
Has anyone heard of Ticket to Ride board game? Bride brought it to my attention, sounds addicting! http://www.daysofwonder.com/tickettoride/en/
The web game tutorials are more help than the video regarding game play.

Edit: Looks like the star nub struck again already. For someone that dislikes the pot they sure spend a lot of time in it.
I've been telling you the problem is either the software or the hardware.With the new site there are a TON of pictures and those hog bandwidth. My problem with The Gauge is it is a pain in the *** at best to work with, I just don't like their format. And the other site well... I can spend about as much time there as I can in 300 degree water.I really think they need to upgrade their servers and figure out what it is that they have misconfigured in the software.... this 'Please create a new thread every 15 days' is beyond stupid. It took me a day to get caught up in the last thread now I have to read 2 threads to get caught up... something aint right...

About 2 - 3 months befor you came they switched the forum host and ever since its been a pain running very slow and all. And they have come to the conclusion that the main cause for it being slow is our long threads and multi page threads. we were told back a while ago that we were going to have to start a new coffee shop the first of the month if I remember right that was like the middle of January well come 1 Feb we had to do it. well now the 20th of Feb its now the first of the month again according to there calender ( in other words our 50+ pages is to many.)

88....I agree completely. There are fishing websites that handle thousands of participants and postings without a problem with ads for boats, tackle and even worms.
I believe that the people at Kalmbach have forgotten their founders instructions:
Kalmbach Publishing Co. is proud of its long tradition of customer service, and we are committed to developing and maintaining relationships with our customers. After all, as our founder Al Kalmbach stated, "The customer is the boss of us all."
From my point of view, their computer people are using the old IT management style of about 15 years ago. Every periodical in the country is putting more and more emphasis on web interaction with their customers, while it appears that Kalmbach believes that paper and ink are the wave of the future.

Oh, Mr. 88 and Mr. Buckeye---so well said, I'll leave it at that. I had a real snotty reply about this "issue" already to send but I won't. It's not my dime, it's their's.

Bet you have not been to the new one [that is really the original one].
http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/index.php
Real easy and a bunch of us are there too. [BTW: Buckeye, stay away from Bass Boat Central. My buddies will get you.] Some of the problem is the big scrolling ads. But that helps pay for this so we can't complain.
Cold outside. Waiting till tomorrow to go to the lake house. Too late when I got back from the meeting about Stimulus Package. Suppose to warm up tomorrow and then drop to a mix of rain and snohio early Sunday morning. Then gone. No wonder we have "pewmonia". Temps up and down.
Now let me see, where did I put that box car? You know the one with the big heart on it. Seems it had big OH on it too. Senior moment I guess. Now I know it has to be around here somewhere. ??????? OH WELL, maybe it will turn up one day.
Now for a little train time upstairs. Later.
Good Evening All
A great train running nite with Charlie. He took lots of pics. and I'm sure he will be posting some. A very pleasant evening.
You know that old saying "if it's not broke don't fix it" well they should not have fixed it.
I had banilla with Charlie but saved some for the Tardis crew,so come on by.

Speaking of worms. Notice that one slimed and squirmed in to vote down the stars on the new Pot and does the same for SPF. Makes him feel real important. IGNORE. One day I will put him on a hook and catch a big fish with him.
Patrick, $48 for NASCAR expansion sets on Choochoo. No bids so far.
Enjoy!
Ran some trains with SJ tonite...Here is some of the action from SJ's layout...
Charlie a.k.a. MichiganRailRoad714 (Charter Member TTC)
Great pics Charlie, thanks! Looks like you guys had a great time! And, I see that Sir James has a RARE car worth Eleventy-Zillion Dollars now that the other one has been lost or ????
Njalb - did you scan those are are they online now?
Hope to hear that the John Bull is out in the next week or so? Can't wait!
Picked up a book at B&N tonight after dinner. The Railway Manual by C.J. Freezer. It looks like copies of pages from a magazine, but lots of interesting stuff
Nice chat with Sir James and Charlie tonight! Tardis is ready and I see lots of beacons so here we go
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
Hey Doug M - sorry to hear about the mess, did they break the stack or something?
Brutus Great pics Charlie, thanks! Looks like you guys had a great time! And, I see that Sir James has a RARE car worth Eleventy-Zillion Dollars now that the other one has been lost or ????

Jim they are online (Lionel). At the bottom of the page there are options. You can crop a page to what ever you want. Then you have the option to save it as a jpeg file! A new look for a Lionel catalog
I sign off for a few hours and WWIII starts!
Train car destruction. Mystery. Floods. 8300 sq. ft. houses. Powell slams. 13 hour road trips. PCs dead on delivery. A beautiful 773 to distract us. Time Warner. Chuck getting lit up, kicks the font size up a notch. Rich lives. Chief contemplating jumping ship, then has a senior moment. A romantic getaway to the lakehouse delayed. A naked OH car and a MI car too. #13. Firefox dilemma. Catalog preview. A lesson on IT meltdowns, hardware,software, and servers. A Kalmbach nastgram contemplated. A forgotten Kalmbach customer sevice pledge. AF 3 rail. The still missing "ditto" smiley. Bass Boats and worms. Laz is bummed. Tardis ready to launch.
Well, that about sums it up, except for the challenge that we achieve Pot FEB #4 by month's end. I can smell the servers smoking already.

IF IT WON'T COME LOOSE BY TAPPING ON IT, DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT. USE A BIGGER HAMMER.
