Looking good so far!    Nice colors, will take a bit to figure everything out

Don't see the ability to make polls so far, hope this is permanent!

Yep, here's the new forum. Hmmm, I wonder if the same bbcode tags apply for posting images and such?

Rats.  I just saw the smiley's are available.  I was going to say I was glad they were gone.  I like the new look.  Very slick.

Well back, boys!

There are a few little goofy things, like smileys from the old site that didn't move over. But everything hopefully everything else will be working just fine.

Enjoy,

Bergie

Hey, this is cool ... if you click the downloads menu item above, they mention the downloadable Information Station video PDFs coming.

I'm doing several of these for MR, and I've been eagerly awaiting their announcement. They are like the ballasting video PDF we did for the Realistic Layouts special issue ... and the subjects cover the entire gambit of building and operating your layout. Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

Format is nice, thanks for the hard work.  It did take a bit of back and forth getting logged in but obviously not too bad.  Did you consider deleting some of the older, unused topics?  27,000 plus is a lot to look through.

Thank the railroad gods!

Can't seem to highlight and (right click) cut text. Otherwise things look good. I do like that the new forum text follows the behavior I set in "View" when I'm typing, (I prefer the large text - my eyes ain't what they used to be).

Jay.

I think I like it.  I took advantage of the situation to get a new screen name, so I look new, but I like the new name better, so it's good!

Tongue [:P] Question [?]<----Sign - Off Topic!! [#offtopic]
I am enjoying the new look, the old white-red-blue-and black was a bit boring...are you planning to get any more skins for us to look at? Also, it's seeming slower than the old one, is this true, is it temporary, or is it just me?
