Guest thehinge@magpage.com> Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I find myself disappointed that there's no pic of Onysko's van in that article..... Anyone have one, or another GIS mapping vehicle for that matter? Or is that kinda like making the reporter of the news (or data, in this case) part of the news?

Guest Pat B. Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 American Road magazine will soon be unveiling its dynamic new website, with great new content and features including: - Calendar of Events (where you can submit events electronically!) - Road News (where you can submit news items electronically!) - A new and improved Hitching Post (Online store) - American Road podcasts - broadcasts that celebrate travel across the historic two-lane highways of North America. - the AMERICAN ROAD TRIP SWEEPSTAKES—offering you a chance to win great prizes! - a Reader Service card offering readers one quick and easy way to request information from AMERICAN ROAD advertisers. Also, we would like to announce that the forum will have a new home at the American Road website as well. We will make the transition an easy and gradual one for all members. When the new forum is ready, we will announce it here and provide a link and complete instructions for joining. The current Yahoo group will remain up for a short time (probably a couple of weeks), allowing all members time to join the new forum. After that, we will shut down the ability to post at the Yahoo Groups' site, but will keep all posts available in the archives for a specific period of time. That period of time will be as long as it takes for the posts to be transferred to an "archive" section of the new forum. Once all old posts have been transferred, the Yahoo Groups' site will be disabled. As to the new forum, we believe members will enjoy the new features. There's lots of technical features that we think will be helpful - like the ability to go back and edit or delete your own posts. The addition of "avatars" to your profile, as well as putting smilies and emoticons in posts are neat too! As far as content and navigation, that will be one of the best changes we'll have. We will have various separate subforums so we can have relevant, topical discussions...for example: the category Roads, Bridges & Tunnels will have subforums for discussing U.S. Highways (further broken out by different highways); Road Trails; State / County Roads, etc. The category Roadside Businesses would have separate subforums for discussion on Motels, Diners and other roadside businesses, etc....this is a short list of the categories and subforums, but hopefully that gets the idea across. This is where we would like your input...to suggest a subforum category, please send a note to either Pat or myself at: route66-owner@yahoogroups.com Subject: American Road Forum Categories Thanks!

Guest Dave Reese Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Sad to say, as I have joined forums, I have stopped following as I miss too many threads, and it takes too long to search. I hope that does not happen here, but belonging to over 25 email groups, I find that I prefer getting emails and do not want to log onto 25 different sites to see what is happening several times a day. I hope this works, but I believe it will become a different membership group over time.

Guest beckyrepp Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hello Dave, Hopefully the problem of following Long threads will get eliminated - as you can subscribe (and get e-mail notification) to the sub-forum topics that interest you. Also, there is an ability to view posts since your last visit (and not have to search through everything to figure out where you left off). Additionally, there are some really nice features, including the ability to send e-postcards to friends and family of pictures that you might post in your picture gallery. Additionally, you will be able to attach pictures to individual posts. We wanted to enhance the experience of our group members, not detract. We worked with Pat and Jennifer to make sure that we went with a forum that actually had better characteristics than Yahoo offers--otherwise, we agree that there would be no point in moving the group. We are always seeking to improve and enhance the experience of our readers and our group members and appreciate your feedback and input.

Guest Denny Gibson Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I agree that e-groups and forums are two different animals and I'm sure you're right that not all members will make the transition and some new ones will appear as a direct result of the group's tighter integration with the magazine site. I'm not one to say "Try it, you'll like it" because I recognize that you just might not. Plus, even suggesting that you try it isn't necessary since you've obviously already decided to do just that and encountered problems. That's my real concern. I really hope that the Bremers have addressed your password issue or, if they haven't, will do so quickly. It could be a wrong address, a well intentioned spam filter, or something else entirely. Whatever the cause, it's the sort of "washout" that can really hamper this caravan to the forum. I have confidence that Jennifer & Pat will sort through things as quick as they can but it may take a little time. --Denny --- In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, "Dave Reese" <reesed@...> wrote: > > Sad to say, as I have joined forums, I have stopped following as I miss too many threads, > and it takes too long to search.

Guest David Willman alias Willy Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Agree with Dave on this one. When you belong to so many groups and are passionate about many of them, it is very tough. I will still be diligent with Am Road Forum, but like the email group stuff as I read most items, no matter what it's limitations are. Just make sure you put it on your radar is what I am going to do with this new change. Also, no passwords and request yesterday and today. Odd. Otherwise would post to forum. I can't get on.

Guest Dave Reese Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 66 Willy, Thanks for the kind words on the Auto History. I just have to remember to change my signature every day when I first go online which is sometimes difficult without coffee. Contact Becky directly as per her email. She helped me get on line, and I have taken the time to set up my profile and post a few photos to start. I will see if I can keep checking regularly, or if I fall out here too. This forum does seem more intuitive than some I have joined in the past... Dave Reese Allentown PA Home of Brooklands Speedway and Cherrington Park http://www.geocities.com/brooklandsspeedway http://www.summerharmony.com Today in Auto History: 8.4.1971 Jeff Gordon, a stock-car driver known as "The Kid," was born on this day in 1971. Gordon raced onto the NASCAR scene in 1997 by winning the Winston Cup season points championship for a prestigious second time at the age of 26. Gordon was also the first driver to win the Southern 500, NASCAR's oldest race, three years in a row. -----Original Message----- Agree with Dave on this one. When you belong to so many groups and are passionate about many of them, it is very tough. I will still be diligent with Am Road Forum, but like the email group stuff as I read most items, no matter what it's limitations are. Just make sure you put it on your radar is what I am going to do with this new change. Also, no passwords and request yesterday and today. Odd. Otherwise would post to forum. I can't get on. Hey Dave, always like your Auto history quips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scott Piotrowski Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Apparently the "tiny URL" that I had used expired or something. Very odd. Anyway, I've deleted that URL and replaced it with the original, long URL. Scott --- In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, "Russell S.

Guest thehinge@magpage.com> Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 The link for the new American Road forum is on www.americanroadmagazine.com, not www.mockturtlepress.com, right, Becky? Kind of like my employer's websites....one is a sales page, and another is a portal for users/members. Multiple domains are not always a surfer's best friend....lol.

Guest beckyrepp Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hi Matt, Yes, the link to the new forum is on americanroadmagazine.com. We will be updating the old mockturtlepress.com site in the near future. The new site has yet to be submitted to the search engines -- the IS team is scheduled to do that next week. Let me know if you need any assitance.

Guest beckyrepp Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I'll ask Jennifer and Pat to post a tutorial this evening on how to subscribe to the various subforums so e-mails come directly to your box. I'll ask them to post it in the Sub-forum titled "Technical Help" on the new Forum. Hopefully that will help everyone. :-)becky --- In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, "Dave Reese" <reesed@...> wrote: > > 66 Willy, > Thanks for the kind words on the Auto History.
