New Forum Features - February Issue

[Stu]

Reiss, Sue and Jade's fantasy routes make for great reading.  :D

I like the fact that only the suggestions I made (re revising the 3 and 31A, and suggesting a new 6A variant) got a positive response from NXWM.  8)

[Tony]

Two new categories have been added to the bottom of the forum
Route suggestions - This is where fantasy routes & garage allocations can be posted
Topics that have gone silly - This is where I will move any topics that have gone a bit silly where they can be ignored by those who prefer to ignore any silliness

[KayP]

Maybe have polls on favourite type of bus on every operator page
A poll on favourite type of train for us rail enthusiasts

[Tony]

If you want one you should be able to set one up yourself. I have no objections. Just click on the add poll button

I suppose the one thing I would suggest investigating, although this could just be a problem my end, the Search function on the main page always seems to provide Dead links. Perhaps somewhere to report Website bugs?

This web site and forum is absolutely fantastic tho i would suggest two things. First, that there is a button on the forum u can press to get back to the main site and secondly that that the big picture of nxwm buses is uploaded so you can properly see it as it is a fantastic photo. Also, possibly remove the picture of the ampm dart and put something else there instead such as a Blue Diamond bus!

Pico search doesn't seem to work as it should, I may see if I can a better search add on.

Any bugs, post on here in the new features section please

There is a button on the forum you can use to return to the main site. I will put the line up of NXWM buses on in full on the main site, when I find it on my computer. The AMPM photo will stay as that line up of buses with the black bar below is one image now and is the website logo

[Tony]

Until I can find a permanent home for the line up photos, if you click on the thumbnail that appears just below the link to the train pictures on the home page you will see the sideways view of that line up!

Thankyou very much!

I have replaced the picosearch with a google one that seems to work much better. This is located below the fleetchanges on the home page. When you do a search with this it just extends the home page down listing all the results including thumbnail links to photographs.

Try it and tell me if you find any bugs

It's even better than I thought, it even searches this forum at the same

[ilovetea4370]

That's Much better, it seems to work a treat and it's nice and fast too, The Forum results are a useful bonus too! It does come in handy having a search bar on here! Thanks Tony  :)

One small point, this 'google+1' you suggest we click on to promote the site? I'm still looking
for it :-\

[Tony]

It is the little G1 in the very top left corner of the home page
