Hi tworail or anyone else looking,

I would like to know what a "STICKY THREAD" means. It only shows on a very few of the threads??:confused: And I found nothing in the FAQ about that:)

Also when I'm logged in and post a thread and add pic's it I have to log in again WHY???::rolleyes::ohwell::)

A stickied thread will stay at the top of a forum page, unlike other threads which will fall back as newer threads are posted... Normally, a stickied thread holds importance...

Next time you log in, check the "Remember Me" box and you will be all set :)

That remember me box does not help me sometimes.
I still got to log back in and then you lose all new posts.:confused:

B&M and TwoRail,

Can any Mod create (or transfer to) a Sticky Thread, or only you guys? Stillakid has asked me about creating one, and I don't know how on my end.

Cheers,

TJ

Pls advise
thx aw

AW,

Did you read this thread here:

http://www.modeltrainforum.com/showthread.php?t=2595

Use the "Go Advanced" editor tab, down below. Paper clip icon lets you attach (and upload) a photo ... it will appear as a clickable icon. Once that's done, you can click on the now-uploaded photo to get its URL address. Ctrl-C copy that address, and then use the Mountain icon to paste that URL address between "img" tags, which will embed the image directly into your post.

If you want a "line item", you can use the World icon to create a weblink to your photo's URL address.

thx aw

I am new to the forum and the best way to learn about the forum accoring to me is to take the help of the FAQ section. Apart from this you can also send in private messages to the seasoned members. They would be of great help.
