96RAF Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Open your track plan in Design mode - my icon is a Triangle. Place your point on the plan along with buttons and right click a button and assign your decoder port number to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 You are my age then +/- a day or three. I was a rigger - what was you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmanoz Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 C2, try using the green reply button down at the bottom, as I am doing, instead of mucking around with the blue button then editing your reply into what the other poster said. Far simpler for you and easier for everyone else to see what you are saying. And I assume your problem is solved by what RAF said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 To the right of the actual reply box green reply button it now says, "*Please ensure your reply is typed into the white box". Should help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 To the right of the actual reply box green reply button it now says, "*Please ensure your reply is typed into the white box". Should help. Well so it does. Doesn't seem to work though, still heaps of yellow replies, if you manage to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I meant the green reply at the bottom though, not the one that appears after pressing the blue reply, that being the one that causes all the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 So perhaps the blue reply button should have a relevant warning message against it as well, although I wouldn't have thought that was particularly necessary. At the moment, if you want to reply to a post, rather than just write a new message, you press the blue reply button under that post, which sends you to the reply screen and you get the message then about where to reply, certainly before you press the green button with the said advice written against it.

Fishmanoz Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 But as we know, if you happen to backspace and delete the place to start in the white area, you can now only reply in the yellow despite the warning. While editing in in the yellow area is a useful feature as you can get rid of unwanted detail in there and just leave what you want to reply to, this is also what causes the problem. It would be better if the yellow area was locked IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graskie Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'll have to sleep on that, Fishy. Now, where's my night cap, the one you put on your head that is? I can't find it and I'm just wondering whether I ate it in my sleep last night. My pillow is still there, so I couldn't have had a dream about eating a big marsh mallow, could I?

96RAF Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Hi I trained as an electrician 41 Entry joined 20 Sept 60, St Athan@C2 My best mate (and best man at my wedding) was probably in your entry but maybe 39th/40th - a geordie called George Arthur Young also a rigger. Never seen him for almost 50 years. @rest of you chapsI find it easier to reply using the green button and copy and paste in any text from before that I want to talk to, then highlight it and hit the quote (") button above the edit box.Or you can type in and quote any text like this...

Fishmanoz Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 True Graskie. My iOS has decided I want an extra nd when I type and at the start of a sentence, and I don't always pick it up. But stop trying to avoid the silly hats question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
