Woo-hoo!

Back in the saddle again!... FINALLY!!!

I couldn't check my personal e-mail at work, and I was just now able to finally get to the computer and go through the re-registration process.

New website looks cool, but it will take some getting used to...

Upon inspection it seems that the majority of the events did not migrate. I don't know if organizations having events should immediately repost thier events or if trains.com can do something. There are some states that have some events listed, of course, I have no way of knowing how they got there.

But another thing is that there are all these cool colors you can use. I suppose you can use different colors to reflect your mood. Whatever, you can make the forums more colorful by using these new colors and other options.

SO, USE THEM COLORS, PEOPLE

So far so good though I don't really like the scroll bars on the longer messages.

I like the looks of the new site and the forums but still perturbed that some of the content of the site I was quite dependant (addicted to) is now only available with a subscription to the pertinent magazine. Wish there was some way for a small fee ($5-10 yr) it could be accessable without a mag subscription- some of us don't have time to sit and read through a magazine (working 2 jobs-coaching youth sports, etc)

Wait till you want to post a picture, so far I cant figure out what the coding is, [img] or [*img] or ??? the fact that i have to REMEMBER what any coding is and type the whole enchilada in POs me big time compared to the one button method of the previous format.

Having to remember any code reminds me of using DOS back in the stone age , I HATED DOS...!!!

Have fun with your trains

To post images just paste the URL in between [ img ] and [ / img ], (without the spaces), like so:

For links just type in or paste the URL in your text - it will show up as a link in your post. You can check it with the "preview" before you post.

The avatar seems to have to be no more than 100x100 pixels and is copied directly from your computer.

The signature picture seems to have a bug.

Yes, it does seem to not be working as well as it should. My signature seems to be AWOL. Sad [:(]

Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

Well it looks better but that's about it. I see no differences except it was a real pain to reregister. The buttons have all changed. Well if you put sugar on **** you can make all sorts of people happy it seems.
I do notice one thing though. The happiest people seem to be those who get paid or showcased by MR. Hmm, coincidence I am sure.

Oh well, same old same old.

My name is Stephen and I want to give back to this great hobby. So please pop over to my website and enjoy the free tutorials. If you live near me maybe we can share layouts. :) Have fun and God bless. http://fsm1000.googlepages.com

Has anyone figured how to change your screen name once reregistered? Profile update doesn't seem to have anyway to do it.

Not only is my signature AWOL, now my password won't work Sad [:(] So I had to create a new ID in order to access the forums.

I do like the new forum. It certainly bumped up our traffic level Big Smile [:D] . However, it still doesn't feel like "home" but that'll take some time.

The quick reply box was nice, especially for those with dial-up since you didn't have to load a seperate page to post. I don't mind not having it, tho.

I see some of you took your stars with you Wink [;)] EDIT- apparantly the "highlight" feature doesn't work.

and now, a smiley test
