Of course, in real life, some more important calls would have to be recorded in the Train Register anyway.

" said:Once they see a need to improve a feature, it usually gets done, thank god. I don't think I'm pushing my own barrow unduly when suggesting these improvements; I like to let them speak for themselves.As I've said before, I'm always happy to see suggestions, though I may not agree that they're the right thing to do. In particular, I'm always happy to see Max make suggestions. Log in to reply |

" said:that's not the issue I referred to, which is lack of confirmation when making changes outside the Options window, i.e., within the View window. I think you missed my point here.It's certainly something for Geoff and I to think about.

" said:On the other hand, my responses (which I do not need to save) are automatically displayed in the Messages box. Is there any reason for this or would it be a valid feature request to ask that both be displayed in the Messages box?Added to the wish list for further thought. Quote: What "date of status message"? Quote: The latter of these added to the wish list. If I recall correctly, the box resizes itself horizontally as the information in it changes, so there's no point in resizing or saving its width. N.B. this does not mean that any of these features will be added. Log in to reply |

" said:Popup messages are desirableNot necessarily so. I run with some default pop-ups disabled and with other messages set to show a pop-up which other users do not want. Anyone who has used my computer at a meet has had to change the pop-up settings due to frustration with the way that I want to receive information. There are probably users who want to run with no pop-ups at all. “In life, there is always someone out there, who won’t like you, for whatever reason, don’t let the insecurities in their lives affect yours.” – Rashida Rowe Last edited: 31/12/2011 at 09:48 by postal Reason: Removal of excessive pomposity and drivel Log in to reply |

For comparison, I don't use any pop-up messages at all, but instead have used the colour options for messages with some sounds for the important things, eg telephone calls; hence I get both aural and visual cues for the important things.

Barry[/quote] I think the only visible thing for F is that the clock speeds up for a while. To see the effect of N set the sim speed high via f3 option, close that, press N and go back to the f3 option- the speed should be back at 1:1. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs!
