RailUK teasing ads

[jon0844]

Liking the dark banner at the top and the 'leaky ink' background.

Not me, it's all dripped down onto my desk...

The forum is not liable for any ink damage you or anyone else may sustain if the ink used as the forum background escapes. This was clearly stated in the conditions you signed up to by looking at this post I just made. Just in case anyone was thinking of being clever...

 

[jon0844]

I've already Tweeted a complaint and started a petition to have the ink mopped up at the expense of the admin team. Richard Branson has already signed it.

All right. Which genius decided that we wanted to be confronted with a picture of a Voyager each time we log in???

Look on the bright side, at least it isn't a picture of a 47 ....

That picture should have been one that showed the ultra-modern sleek 3/4 profile view of a Class 142 Pacer...

ex Merseytravel or otherwise?

Can anyone help me out? If I go from the "Traction & Rolling Stock" subforum to the "Infrastructure & Stations" via the main "UK Railway Forums" link at the top of the screen, does this count as doubling back?

You will be charged with Penalty Posts if you double back. There is no definition what constitutes doubling back and RailUK staff reserve the right to make up their own interpretation depending on how you wish to redeem your Penalty Posts. You can of course appeal the decision, by contacting the same member of staff who made the initial decision.

Oh, most definitely the "ex Merseytravel" Class 142 Pacer"...

That is not a permitted route unless you have a ticket marked "not via google"

I hold a season ticket from "Traction & Rolling Stock" as far as "Allocations, Diagrams & Timetables", but as I won't actually be stopping there, I don't know whether this is valid?

If you are using it in a conjunction with with a non-season ticket then it is as long as you don't post in general discussions you should be fine.

There is a debate about if you can post in Trip Reports & Nostalgia with this combination. Perhaps one of the forum staff with access to the Webserver Manual can tell us what it says on the subject?

 

[jon0844]

I usually come to this forum from the subscribed threads page, rather than enter the forum from the home page.

I am now concerned that I am perhaps breaching condition 19?

 

[michael769]

Are there ticket purchasing opportunities at Subscribed Threads?

If not you would need to find a moderator at the earliest possible opportunity.

 

[Tomonthetrain]

I've probably breached byelaw 18 by evading the fare by coming in via my control panel which is a bookmark

 

[DarloRich]

so all that was for a new skin?

 

[user15681]

I think there may have been an earlier signal failure as the background was refusing to show on my computer. Service resumed at 12:31 though, no residual delays.

(On a more serious side, really liking the fresh look.)

 

[tbtc]

Will there be a massive banner across the top of the page saying "Rheilffordd Fforwm" (with the English version in smaller type below)?

 

[Skimble19]

so all that was for a new skin?

Well, new background and header.. the Skin hasn't actually changed as far as I can see?

[/pedant].

Like a substandard 'lick of paint and new seat covers' refurbishment!

So no aircon or accessible toilets then.

Of cause not they couldn't even be bothered to mend the broken grammar and English in most threads

 

[jon0844]

I don't think broken English on here is a byelaw offence. Or is that a buy law offense?

Byelaw 66.6

No person shall provide material that is wholly or intentionally inaccurate with regards to its use of the English language. This is in consideration of the use of both grammar and spelling.

No person shall be considered in breach of this Byelaw should any of the following apply:

(a) He has the express permission of a person in appropriate authority
(b) He is quoting material provided elsewhere
(c) He is doing so for linguistic effect, where clearly indicated in the same passage of text
(d) He is doing so in relation to other material in the same discussion, where clearly indicated in the discussion details
(e) He does not speak English as a first language, in which case reasonable effort must still be made

 

[Yew]

Its a shame the alternative skins on the forum dont have the 'new posts' buttons at the top, as some of them look quite handsome

 

[telstarbox]

That's fine as long as one of the thread(s) is a subscribed thread, and the other is not.

That reminds me about this complaint sent to the BBC Subtitling department, openly copied to Tony Hall and Chris Patten:

Sirs,

I am not hoppy about the deter rating qual qual qual of the BBC life subtitling in recent weeks. The number of miss stakes has ink creased sharply. It is almost impossible to understand the six o crock nudes and the tin o crock nudes is no bitter.

A few years ago the life serb turtles were vera good. At around the time of the middle lemming muddle lemming puddle lennium there was a big drip in the stand hard of the serve ice and in the past few Wickes this has suddenly got verse. A temp to correct miss stakes often make a bigger miss of things.

What Scooby Doo you in tent to do to snort this mess out?

Does this count as a heavy freight diverted along a passenger thread?

 

[WillPS]

The new background doesn't tile very nicely on 1080p monitors - may I suggest you change the CSS such that it repeats downwards only?

 

[starrymarkb]

I think the background needs to be wider - I'm on 1920x1080 (not an uncommon rez on new monitors) and it's tiling

Edit - impressive display of synchronised posting

That is not a permitted resolution. You are only permitted to view the forum on 640 x 480 screens or those no more than 640 x 480 higher.

I wish to complain about two posts being scheduled at 2337, which might result in people accidentally reading the wrong post.

Ah, but one of them was running late due to the wrong sort of electrons in the wiring.
