Trainz Discussion Forums.

We are glad to see everyone getting back on the Forums and using the new integrated features. There are many Trainz fans enlightening us all with their blogs each day and many more posting all over the place. We have never seen the forums more alive and well. We're still making changes to bring the forums into prime condition, and we've recently added the Trainz product icons to identify who owns what products and we have added additional shortcuts to the menu to make it easier to get to the Download Station, Planet Auran, Helpdesk and a few more items. Big thanks to all your support so far and we will continue to make changes in due course to support all our loyal Trainz fans.
