From other posts it seems the attachment limit issue has been flagged up so should hopefully get resolved soon.

You've not got the special moderators badge yet that resets everything to zero LOL

I must admit, this does look and sound impressive!..... R3983SS Demo Video

Your welcome. Sounds like your attachment issue could be quota related, can check it here: Attachments

@SteveM6 I think the trouble is when you select Home, brands, Hornby the screen is full of the pinned posts. If you go to page 2, the unread posts at least have the red spot. That's as close as I can work out for seeing unreads from your tick selection!

Thanks @96RAF for the update, saves me looking for it

I just tried this on my iPad for you using Brave and Safari and it works fine. I wonder if there is something on your account itself that is stopping you from adding attachments. Maybe a mod can help you check your account @Ratch ?

It all gets too complicated doesn't it, especially when you first come to the forum!

If you re-select brands then Hornby, it should filter on Hornby ticks.

Good to know, thanks. It's good we have the freedom in the App to effectively create our own function maps for "unknown" decoders.

Thanks for that @SteveM6, sounds like my original assumption on how to use the dongle was too not far off the mark. Sounds all quite straight forward . Next on my list, point control, but we'll leave that one for now

Brilliant, thanks for that @Moccasin & @96RAF, you have given me the reading I needed

In preparation for the imminent arrival of the Legacy Dongle, I've been trying to look for any manuals to get my homework done. I can see a "quick start" in the HM7000 DCC Guides area, but no more detail. I also cannot see much in the Reference Manual, unless I've missed it ! Specifically, the Quick Start says in section 6D, ensure your DCC loco is setup in the app, but doesn't give any more information on what that means. I'm sure its easy when you know, but until then, I've created a (DCC) loco in the engine shed, but how do you make it appear in the control screen, do you just assign the dongle to multiple DCC locos in the shed?

I see a quick start guide is also available to download for the dongle, Dongle Quick Start Guide Wonder if the pre-orders will ship in the coming week, no payment email yet though?

I can remember the old days on here where a good technical discussion would then drift off topic into some parallel universe, really unhelpful TBH when trying to stay focused on the technical side you were researching. Sometimes its good for the soul to break away from the detailed technical stuff as long as its separate to main discussions, which I thought was the proposal.

I must say that I'm well impressed by the photos in this thread, incredible detail, well beyond my own skill level I feel

Interesting that I've not visited the Airfix forum before, I guess that is what they were hoping with the revamp to get more visible integration and interest across the brands. May be that's worked

Agreed, hopefully in time things will improve, until then it’s just more clicks to learn 😳

Such a shame the old videos were taken down, but I wish Barrie well and I respect his decision.

I was nearly tempted to just say nothings changed, why do you ask? However, I'd be slapped for that This new updated forum went live yesterday, plenty of discussion ongoing in this Forum and Website Feedback section.

I bet that when the developers were first contracted to revamp the forum, they won the business based on a promise that they could introduce a system which would bring more discussion and interest to the forum and ultimately the wider Hornby business. When I step back and look and the past 24 hours on here, I feel someone saying, "told you", just look at these hit stats, LOL! The real test will come this time next week, will there be as much interest then and you never know, posts might even be about Model Railways again and not badges and rankings

Will all this like/badges stuff lead to more business and interest for Hornby? They are obviously hoping so, time will tell I guess. Not sure if all todays posts have done that, but things with settle back down

Umm, a bit of a Marmite moment developing all for valid arguments. I guess to help future readers, if you know a post is wrong due to current information, all you can do is ask a moderator to update it for you. I wouldn't want a forum littered with misleading advice.

That's interesting, for the second time today its re-allowed me to like a post <confused>

I'd vote for removal of the time limit, I often need a complete break from a complex reply and then spot an error ages later. Also agree that it may benefit to add new updated information, keeps OCD under control!
