Following Threads and forums
Probably the wrong spot for this, but I cant find the "right" place for it --
Is there any way in this forum software to follow a thread or forum, ie, get e-mail messages when a new post is made etc?
Thanks

$100 challenge
Hi Joe and fellow modelers
I have just donated $100.00 ($1.00 per issue) (AU $140.00) to this magazine as it is the best modelling resource available.
The content is great, plenty of information in each issue, and professionally put together.
The forum is packed with ideas and answers to any manner of query.
I challenge every one to donate $1 per issue that you have had the pleasure of reading.

Michael Rose is alive and well!
This post is for all of you fans of Michael Rose to let you know that he is alive and well as I observed from my visit to see him last week. He had contacted me to get my input on some ideas he had and of course for some excellent fellowship (including delicious peach cake and German coffee!)

CR&N - PI-SPROG
My layout is not big. It’s a 9x4:5 foot shelf-style switching layout that only runs one loco at a time. I started out using straight DC before switching over to a NCE PowerCab (nice system). I had heard about using wifi to control trains, so eventually bought an NCE USB adapter. It was amazing to put down the tethered throttle! But...I had to have my laptop up and running and wires running here and there. There had to be a better way!

The organizers of the Portland, OR RPM just announced on Facebook the date for the 2019 meet. It will be held on Feb. 9, 2019. Location to be finalized, but it sounds like a bigger venue and close to the airport. Mark your calendars, and get those models finished!
Moderators note: It's going to be at the airport Shilo Inn. For more information: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2001136043323501/
Interaction with blog vs new threads with specific description
As stated, which is more likely to generate most interactions from the forum readers?
I've noticed that a new update on my blogs on various foras gives few replies, but a new thread with the same update gives a lot more.
This is especially important when you need input from the community.
I don't like to spam the forum with a lot of threads as they make it more difficult to find later.
What do you think?
