Points?

DesertRat's picture

I am new at using this site.... If some one could expalin something I would appricate it.

I posted a comment to a post earlier this evening.... I came bace later to correct a misspelled word and I lost 3 points?

Not that how many points I have means much but did I do something wrong?


The Gallery

DesertRat's picture

I just posted pictures of my last layout in my Gallery.

Question: Did I do it correctly? Is is going to show up as a post on the list of recent forum activity?

 

 


Is it only me or is there......

....something wrong with the home page.

Tonight the right hand column is located at the bottom of the page. I had to scroll all the way down to find it.

The left hand column is completely missing.

At first I thought that my window was too narrow. (That happened on my old computer.)
But, I opened the window to full screen and the problem remained.  (I now have a 24 inch flat panel wide screen monitor.)

If its just me, let me know and I will go away and eat worms.

Have fun.

E-mail alerts

Trainster's picture

On other forums I participate in you can select a setting which allows you to get email alerts when someone responds to a post, I cannot for the life of me find that on this site, I have to bookmark it and manually check up on it.

Please advise.


Is something wrong with the gallery?

ranulf's picture

I posted a new subfolder named Leafpeeping into my Gallery last night.  The subfolder IS there, I can view it in the Gallery, but cannot access the new subfolder to addthe photos in it to a blog post or forum post.  The subfolder doesn't show up in the list.  Is it not automatically updating or something?

Size of Photos

DesertRat's picture

I plan on posting a number of photos in my Gallery and also in  a post. Can you give me a run down on the best size I should formate them for... I will be using photoshop... Thanks

I've seen these labels on several individuals labels here on this site. How does one get that label?

Site unreachable............

Jacko-Pat's picture

  So I am wondering what the deal is or was. I was unable to even get to this site from 12PM CDT to 8PM CDT,(middle Tennessee USA). Are the routers selective to where nodes from certain parts of the US come from? I am just wondering.............

The numbers......

MooseID's picture

....that pop up next to my cursor on the home page do not bother me that much.

I am just curious about them.

They pop up when I cross a link, then go away in a matter of seconds.

If they have some significance, what does '42.032974' mean?

 

Have fun.

Access denied to forums

Just wanting to know why I am being told that I do not have permission to access the forums... Adam A.

Thumbnails

ranulf's picture

Is there a way to select what portion of a photo becomes the thumbnail?  Why if by clicking the "create thumbnails now" box when adding photos to the gallery, sometimes the resultant thumbnail is a reduced version of the big picture, and sometimes it is just an unflattering section of the big picture?

Also, why can't the "jump to" menu on the gallery page be in alphabetical order?  It is on the menu you use to select a picture when adding one to your post.  I really do not mean to complain, but it is frustrating.


Email notification

Is it me or is the email notification still not working?

I have tried the described steps but still nothing.

We need this to work.

Thanks , Mike


Ads in the home page

tokeri51's picture

I do not think that an ad by Match.com is appropriate for this web site.

[Mod Edit: Corrected spelling errors. ~BS]


Gallery Down?

tokeri51's picture

I ahve not been able to access the picture gallery for the last 2 days. Get a Database error: "An error has occured while interacting with the Database."

Are the points still meaningless?

ranulf's picture

I sure hope so. 

If they're not, I'll have to change my sig line as it wouldn't be funny anymore.

How do you flag all posts as read. I can't seem to find the function on the new system.

See ya

Small town station positioning

Zandoz's picture

For a small town wood station like Atlas's Maywood Station, or Walther's Golden Valley depot, how far should the leading edge of the structure (not the platform) sit back from the near rail of the track?   

Also, how common or uncommon would it be to have the diverging leg of a turnout to a near by siding passing through the station platform, just past the station/depot building?


How does one upload a trackplan?

corsair7's picture

I am at an impasse for the moment. I have the plan for my benchwork but how do I fit what I want to include on the layout on it? In order to ask the question I need to upload a scan of the benchwork. How does one do that?

Missing parts of Home Page

JohnC's picture

Both at home and here at work the Home page only displays the content of the center frame. The ususal pictures of the day on the left and the various links on the right are gone. Is it my systems or has something changed?
