Yes, I am a little leary about those who put nothing in their profile.  Also, the info lets us know you.  This forum's sucess is built on personal relationships.

Hints for Newcomers to the Forum
Posted by Buckeye Riveter on Monday, January 1, 2007 8:59 AM

At this time of the year, we normally see a large number of newcomers to the forum, so first and foremost Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to a great place to learn about toy trains.  We have artists, electrical experts, mechanical wizards,  railroad engineers, track crewmen, etc. etc. who actively participate on the forum. 

First Hint:  Post an AVATAR with your profile.  The photo/picture avatar helps us to recognize you quickly, but it also helps you find your postings quickly.  Click on the Update Profile at the top of almost any screen and upload you photo/picture. (As far as I know, animated GIFs will not work as AVATARS.) 

Second Hint:  Put a geographic location with your profile.  Many times your general location affects an answer to questions you post.  Your geographic location can be as simple as:

  • The Cross Roads of the Nation
  • The Motor City Headphones [{(-_-)}]
  • The Loop
  • Blueberry Hill, OHIO
  • On the Banks of the Wabash
  • UK
  • BIG D Cowboy [C):-)]
  • The Queen City Captain [4:-)]
  • Roseyville, NC Laugh [(-D]

Now let's hear other hints from some of the posters to this forum. Smile [:)]

Celebrating 18 years on the CTT Forum. Smile, Wink & Grin
