Hey everyone just checking out the new site not bad, take a little getting used to but pretty cool.

2

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, Bergie gets stars…No Fair. [:D]

yeah i agree. this site seems to looks really nice. A lot more sharp then the other one. Once i get used to it im sure it will be better then the other site.

8

I gave the topic stars, so I hope that is good enough!!

Thanks Bergie for the hard work. Nice upgrade. I already like the new trains.com site as well.

had a little trouble getting everything reset but I think I am on. Just wanting to say it looks good

Thanks

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. [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.

13

I was joking. So how do we get the signature pictures to show?

14

is everyone still alive? cool. this will take some getting used to.

Hi guys & gals!

I was starting to go thru withdrawals! [:D]

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).

Very cool so far. The interface doesn’t look 90’s anymore!

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!

I think the new site looks great!!!
