MRH Website general discussion
How about an Advertisers' Index?
I would like to see a one page advertisers' index., maybe with predefined categories like modeling scale, whether they offer track, structures, rolling stock; which manufacturers they carry; craftsman or simpler kits.
It could even be automated so MRH didn't have to spend much time updating it: each advertiser could fill in a check-box form of the categories, updating as their inventory changed, and the site's software could assemble the index page.

Copyright Issues
The discussion of copyright infringement has come up several times on MRH most recently in the Atlas 83 track post. Working in the marketing department of a global company it is safe to say copyright management is a big deal in my life. For something that seems so simple up front it is unbelievably difficult to extract hard and fast rules. For instance, everyone knows you can't reproduce another company's logo but it is also technically illegal to reproduce any of their markings.

Sneak peek - the look of the new MRH web site
Here's how the current mockup of the new MRH web site looks.
Some things to note about the new site look ...
1. We're moving permanently to the new shorter URL - mrhmag.com and the site now emphasizes that.
(The old URL - model-railroad-hobbyist.com will continue to work indefinitely also)

Can't change avatar
Why can't I change my MRH avatar? I hastily put up the first image I came to when I first signed up on MRH but it is high time I change it to something railroady. Tried but failed.
Videos for advertisers
Will there ever be videos for advertisers? I can see an advantage for promoting a new product.
Though I am near seventy, I love watching things evolve and the model railroad hobby is continually evolving.

Upgrade MRC Prodigy Express
I would be grateful to anyone who has upgraded their basic Prodigy Express and would share the experience. That would include technical steps, cost, and anything else I need to do.
I do want the system to hold more than 5 addresses, I plan to have simple operating sessions with two to four operators.
I have attempted to contact MRC but they have not returned my call.
Thanks in advance,

Positioning the post comments box
I know several of you have expressed dislike for the new positioning of the comments box, but you need to know we have received a lot of emails recently from people complaining about how hard this site was to use for commenting in the wake of my latest editorial in the Nov/Dec issue.
Plain and simple, putting the comments box at the head of the thread just under the initial post makes it really obvious and simple for newcomers who wonder how to post a comment.
Managing the posts on the MRH site
As the MRH site grows, we're starting to see more abuse of this site, especially around free advertising and some confusion over what's allowed and what's not.
To help make this less confusing, we've done some things to this site.
1. Published clear guidelines for posting on this site.
2. Created a new Promotion forum section - which has a forum for MRH advertisers and a forum for Hobby event posts.

Private blog?
I'm just starting my blog and I want to experiment. Is there a way I can do this and not publish it, so that I'm the only that can see it?
Thanks, -Al

JoeF I'm having a Problem closing the MRH on line version of Nov/Dec Magazine.
