Busjack Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 17 minutes ago, MetroShadow said: The search functions on our glorious forum work. Here's a great cheat sheet. Two tips: The forum search methods work better if the user clicks the search box, but then clicks "Advanced Search" on the down arrow. Then you can get the screen that lets you select options such as "titles only" and "any" or "all" words. Since MetroShadow linked to Google connectors, one can always use Google with site:chitransit.org + [search terms and connectors] I've also seen that under "Activity" there is "Personal Activity Streams" @MetroShadow or @Kevin: I haven't used them, but maybe you could post some suggestions on how to take advantage of them, if west town's real problem was not being able to keep up with posts.

pudgym29 Posted September 6, 2016 Report Share Posted September 6, 2016 Come on, administrators. What is with the process that I can't edit BBCode after I submit a piece here? There needs (I hope I closed that tag correctly.) to be a forum option where I (or anybody else) can get back into the code and close a format or link box.

The "Source" button allows edits to the underlying code, but traditional BBCode has generally been phased out by the software vendor. It's not something I have direct control over.

Busjack Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Playing with the green screen member names (maybe the last to do so), sometimes the @ key pops up the list of names (it did a second ago) and sometimes it doesn't. Any explanation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 I've noted that when editing one's preexisting post, selecting some text, and using the link tool, it puts the link at the top of the post instead of on the selected word. For instance, in this one today, it put the CDT link on the top, and I had to drag it back to where it belonged and delete the original CDT text.

In this case I made sure that the insertion point was at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmon757 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Effective Immediately Any Pace changes i.e. New Routes, Schedule Changes, Route Changes, Projects, etc. should be discussed in respective garage topic. For example, if Route 307 is extended to Midway Orange Line then it would be discussed inside West Garage - Changes and Restructuring. This should help minimizing excessive new topics under the Pace Bus page. Also, Pace Bus Moves and Pace Roster Topics should be combined together. However, I will not combine them into one topic if you all prefer keeping it as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which brings up the current 722 topic, which the two of us discussed earlier in that it was DuPage restructuring, not Fox Valley, even though 722 runs out of FV. But speaking of Naperville, we have that 2 feeder routes were sent to FV, but the rest of them are being contracted out again. Or take in my area that most of the routes are split between NW and NS, or in the Schaumburg-Itasca area that the routes (606, 616) are split between NW and R. Hence, while I see your point (and professionally work under the rule) that something should be covered only in the best place, I don't think this works.

Yeah, it wouldn't make any sense of moving the Dupage Reconstruction topic at all. So I left it as it is. I edited the North Garage topic to N/NS/NW/R topic. I wonder who wants those feeder routes you have mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago.trains Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) I presume this is the right place to mention this... It seems that I cannot find the button on the home page to submit a new topic (Windows 10, tried in IE and Firefox), and when I managed to find the link in the code for the page, I cannot select the category for the post to go in to continue. I'm having the latter problem on my iPhone as well where the button is visible, but cannot select the category there either. After doing some research, I understand why now. I was unaware of the "new" policy regarding minimum number of posts to create a topic. If I may suggest, would it be possible to note that in the guidelines page for others to be aware of?

Busjack Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 A heads up if others of you are having this problem. Kevin resolved it for me. The upgrade appears to log you off if you close your browser.I wasn't able to log back on. I had the additional problem that aim.com blocked the email confirming that I wanted to reset my password. Kevin had to reset the email listed for my account as my gmail address, and then I was able to log on. Besides explaining why the gray scale picture of me wasn't on the forum, that may explain why the last post was at 8 a.m. Thanks to Kevin for taking care of this promptly.

However, if everyone got moderator privileges, this would be like Wikipedia,and result in chaos, or the biggest thug taking over. Thus, I support the current structure.
