If you're having problems with the forum software; SQL errors, images not posting, etc., this is the place to let me know.
I'll do everything i can do try and get the problem resolved, but I can't guarantee it.

Hi Hawk, I tried to post an image(jpg 168kb)but it would not upload or post?
Also I see that you have rankings,(member up to u,the big dawg)based on posts made, (member at 10 posts).I think you should change this and add a new one "HOBO"from 0 to 50 posts. Any good railroad ought to have some .
Also I now spend more time reading this forum than playing rrt3 it seems.(guess I need to fire up my old PC so I can do both) . Again, for a great site cause U the BIG DAWG

Did you get an error message or something? An image at 168 KB should not have any problems posting.

Also I see that you have rankings,(member up to u,the big dawg)based on posts made, (member at 10 posts).I think you should change this and add a new one "HOBO"from 0 to 50 posts. Any good railroad ought to have some .

That's a good idea. I'll look into changing that.

Also I now spend more time reading this forum than playing rrt3 it seems.(guess I need to fire up my old PC so I can do both) . Again, for a great site cause U the BIG DAWG

Thanks JF, but it wouldn't be much of a forum or site without you members and the add-ons they contribute, so my thanks goes out to all of you.

[Hawk]

I just remembered, I made a post about how to add images in a post.

viewtopic.php?f=49&t=958

Let me know if that helps.

[thegrindre]

I think Hobo is a great idea.

[Hawk]

Oh yea! I forgot about that.

Edit 1: OK! I think I've got it set that Hobo is between 10 and 50 posts. Under 10 is just a newbie. No rank.

Edit 2: How 'bout 'Green-Horn' for 0 - 10 posts?

[Knave]

Tongue in cheek question. In today's economic climate, wouldn't Hobo be right after CFO? Or Stockholder?? Or....

[Hawk]

Let's try and keep today's economic toilet out of this.

[Hawk]

I got a good one for the newbies, those with under 10 posts.

Cat

From the Hobo Dictionary of Slang: http://www.hobonickels.org/alpert04.htm

cat - a young tramp or hobo, new to the roads

Hawk for taking what I thought was a good idea and then making it better . You and the rest of this group not only do this daily, but for the most part, have it done almost before the post gets cold With a group this great (at 198 members)when we hit 200, maybe we should replace the senate with this group(I'm sure we could do a better job) But then again, would we have time for the fun we have here.
Again and the rest for this great site

[Stoker]

Maybe this is Nitpicking but the Senate has 100 seats(2 per state), not 200, so we already have enough here, but i suspect the morality level of the members here would preclude them from serving, as it requires smiling and telling lies while reaching into the taxpayers pockets and robbing them blind. The House has 435 voting members, plus non voting delegates from U.S. territories.

[Hawk]

On my worst day I couldn't be a big enough scum-bag to be a politician.

[JFMarvelous]

yes Stoker you are right,my head must have been somewhere else (leaving myself open on that one I guess)
and Hawk you bring up the age old question Do only scumbags become politicians or does politics make them into scumbags

[Stoker]

Not all that choose to "serve the public" are intrinsically bad. However, those that are honest that somehow manage to attain high office generally get riddled with bullets or have mysterious "accidents". Once in a while they keep an "honest" one around (Ron Paul), just marginalizing him with ridicule and slimeball attacks so that the masses will pay him no heed, that way they can point at him and say "SEE, your interests ARE being served".

[Hawk]

Oops! Me thinks this thread is getting just a tad to political for the public air-waves.
Probably my fault.

[AZ Rail Rat]

We blame you Hawk

[Hawk]

Thank Ya'! Thank Ya' Kindly!

[JFMarvelous]

Hawk, are you asleep at the wheel, or have I entered the Twilight Zone
The time stamp on the forum seems to have gained 13 hours overnight

[Hawk]

Well how 'bout that! Must be a server thing. I'll look into it, when I get a chance.

[Hawk]

For what ever it's worth, this time stamp deal is turning out to be a perplexing issue. It's not the forum software and it's not the server. We think it has something to do with the Apache software but we can't find the problem.
There was a minor glitch with Apache last night in regards to some htaccess files and we thought that might have something to do with it, but everything we've checked looks right.

Edit 1: Well, it looks like it's fixed. Turns out it was a glitch somewhere between the atomic clock in DC and the server in Dallas, TX.
