I'm glad you were able to respond to the pleas for a better forum format. There seems to be a few bugs with error messages that I'm sure you'll work out. The biggest problem I see right now is that the forum area isn't highlighted enough on the home page. I'm sure you would like to see the forum grow and become a dominant forum for model rail roaders. Right now you have to search for the word "forum". Of course for those who have been around for a while this isn't a big deal, but for newbies; many will miss the fact there is a forum here. Go look at the Atlas home page and you will see nice big bold letters that fools such as myself can even find directing us to their forum.[;)] I know with your present new forum format activity will definitely increase. A stronger presence in forums will boost support for your mags I'm sure. My first recommendation is don't do anything foolish like Atlas and Railroad-line and shut the forum down when (notice I didn't say "if") a nasty flame war erupts. Shutting a forum down only creates ill will and punishes the good as well as the bad. Reminds me of a boss who used to yell at us who were present at the meetings for those who missed critical meetings - the fool was yelling at the choir, not the absentees. I look forward to many fruitful years of discussions with other modeler's and the occasional guest visit by those such as Andy S and Terry T and others - (Hey Melanie - you might have to be a moderator.... lol).[:)][8)][;)]
