I do not seem to be able to reply to any of his posts (and only his posts) anywhere [perhaps I am blocked for reasons I cannot imagine]. That’s true for Firefox and Chrome.

Back n the 90’s, Model Railroader had a track plan for what I believe was a 9x11 foot shelf switching layout with a transload area/yard on one leg and a heavy industry (I believe that it was for modular homes) on the other leg.
It had hidden staging behind both legs of the layout.
The article’s author envisioned a CF7 doing the switching.
The article you are looking for (assuming that’s the purpose of your post) is Joe Taylor’s article from the October 1994 Model Railroader. That layout is listed as 9X12, but otherwise is as you describe. It was discussed here recently:
That’s right, Frank. I don’t see any Reply button in Mike’s post, either. Probably some sorta database issue that a sys admin may have to figure out. Customer Service is probably the first point of contact to fix that for Mike.
But maybe a few less voices keeps lines at the mental polling booth down?[(-D]
I’m looking forward to the modified trackplan and maybe a build? Any RR with “Port” in the name always sounds interesting to me.
Why would it be posted without the ability for others to reply? Or, how can others get the forum to do the same for them?
That certainly is the case and in fact, you can’t reply to his post in this thread, either! (Dah, already pointed out by you much more observant folks)!
Hmm, I was going to say maybe he hit the no replies button that used to be there. A regular user couldn’t stop a thread, but it would block quoted relies to their message. Being that his message is the first message in the thread though, a lock there would effectively mean no one can reply to the thread. But I see that button has disappeared, at least for me.
I would love to know what happened myself. I just typed in the question and hit submit.
Byron, sorry for the short reply earlier. My 3 month old baby was requesting a bottle in waaaaaaahh-ese. I have the issue tucked away in storage, but I may just search for it. I wish that model railroader would just email a copy of the article (I’m willing to pay). Now that I’m using AnyRail, I’ve found track planning easier.
I believe He has to go into His Settings and click on Advanced Options, of Community settings in Conversations Configuration and put a check mark next to All User’s. He may have None check marked and if He has no check mark at any of the three options, it will automatically go to none.
I thought that setting was for private messages, called Conversations here. The same wording appears in two different places in the settings with identical verbiage. Maybe one is for PMs and the other is for Forum posts? In any case, very much needs a rewrite to make it clear what those settings are for in order to differentiate them for the user, if they are for two different things.
She’s actually a good kid. She just doesn’t understand the concept that bottles don’t magically appear.
Hah, that’s so true. So long as she outgrows that, you’re OK.
That message is a little wierd. I actually saw it myself the other day doing something I don’t quite recall, so it may be independent of the lack of Reply button.
I am a little let down there’s no port involved. I have this strange hankering for a port scene, which just does not compute with Colorado narrowgauge without more imagination than I’m capable of…[(-D]
The duplicate message usually is the result of key bounce or mouse button bounce or if you double click the submit button. It only takes 1 click. 2 clicks, and if they happen before the page refreshes, it sees the same message being submitted twice and you get the error.
