Introducing the Trains.com Forum Points & Rewards Program! 🚂

Looks like:
0nanh = Zero | Not A Number | Hours
0nanm = Zero | Not A Number | Minutes
0nans = Zero | Not A Number | Seconds
Where “Not A Number” is a bit sequence from an operation signifying an invalid result such as from a division by zero.

Got the gift card email 3.5 hours ago.

Although Bob knew, Eric gets the “prize” for adding details. Congratulations. Don’t expect anything in USPS mail.
Although you sure have made a haul of Firecrown goodies.
This has been an “Extreme Makeover”. Old Trains forum to FIRECROWN. :grinning: endmrw0411251843

Realize I forgot to officially announce I’d received my gift card.

Still feeling like one lucky duck to be rewarded so kindly for participating in the forum. Thanks again, Firecrown Media!

Can’t be said enough… the forums are a much better place to be than they were under Kalmbach’s ownership.

Bob’s comment about the leading zero, prompted the scrutiny on the nanh… . Since all had "nan’, the first thought was not a number which has been a feature of various computers since the 1960’s if not earlier. The CDC 6000 series machines would return a “nan” when dividing by zero but would anly report an error if that “nan” was used in another operation.

Made my second order from my gift cards. Last time I had $46.00 left over because I thought I was shopping in U.S. Dollars. This time I realized the website had converted my shopping to Canadian Dollars so I started shopping while keeping a running tab in my head and when I checked out, there was $.17 left on account.

Thanks Firecrown!

As a novice to this world of electronic “talking”, I have missed out on the aspect of “giving likes”.

I have reviewed explanation of the system, but being a novice, I got some (thank you, whoever liked my comment) but never GAVE any when I should have.

Where did I miss this in the tutoral? endmrw0413251619

I just click the little ‘heart’ under the post in question when I think it’s particularly valuable or interesting. There are more complicated ways of expressing ‘emoji’ or emoticon interest, but I came to use the pasted-in code for the cartoon emoticons/emojis both in the Kalmbach/Telligent versions, and in the formatting bar above the post window here in discobot.

How many others here remember the abortive ‘stars’ system that Kalmbach tried a couple of decades ago?

@NorthBrit , I got mine on Saturday. I have accidentally deleted the email. Fortunately I don’t empty my trash bin very often. Bought some reading material and some modeling tools. Thanks FireCrown Media!

Goodies arrived today. Had a lot on my mind, so it was a nice ‘pick me up’! I ordered a tube of Kadee ‘Grease em’ for some HO equipment, and some repro boxes for my O gauge.


Spent my morning assembling boxes and putting trains in them. I really like the window box design, it’s great for storage and for display. I needed to cut some openings in the insert flaps for one of the 6801 boxes, so that I could store my 6477 in it, but otherwise everything fit as expected.

See if you can spot the MPC car in the group, should be an easy job for a postwar collector.

Big thank you to Firecrown media for running the points & rewards program! Feeling very appreciative and grateful.
