Can there be a shout out feature where you can advertise your new coaster/park for a week without it being in a topic that quickly gets pushed out of view because of new replies to a topic in the front page discussions?

It's kind of what I am trying to do with my Weekly Spotlight. The point is for a track to be noticed for a week and be put on the news bullitin.

One thing I think that might help out when you get to looking at some of the exchange tracks is a heading of what type of ride like wooden, B&M sit down, ect.

I also think the main page (not "Exchange" page) should start making a simple list for coaster types that track uploaders added. It will ease the rating.

^ Could you elaborate on this a bit?

I halted this thread, sorry, because I didn't make any good response to you. Oh no, this is about a month ago.

As for uploaded trackworks, coaster types such as B&M, Intamin, and so on, should appear as well as coaster names shown in each box with a noticeable dark blue tag. From these tiny coaster images I think it's sometimes hard to tell "B&M and Intamin" apart. So what about putting "Coaster Types" just under these images to tickle the fancies of downloaders? This idea will make more visitors want to rate or give a plenty of feedbacks to uploaders!

^ Oh ok, so you mean like by coaster type/designer.

Interesting idea.
I'll put it on the list of possible things to incorporate into the site, thanks!

Please.

also a flat ride section would be amazing

I can't remember is that has been requested before. But I certainly would love to see that. Would be a whole lot easier to find stuff.

Not really. I know plenty of cases (^) where asking doesn't pay off

^it usually does though like I asked for gwazi to shut down is it shut down?

Would it specific to NL2 or like in general?

[TTD03]

^ Well since NL2 is the only game that supports scripted flat rides on this site.... I would say yes!

I think it's specific to NL2. Since I can't recall any other simulator so far that supports scripted flat rides and such. But perhaps a general category would work too?

Important Bump: I hope for more "active" posts to avoid getting spammed.

^ Although your posts are somewhat relevant, and never negative one could see your method posting on almost every single topic all at once as spam

I'm sorry if someone thinks or feels that I'm messing up the forum timeline such as bumping a bit old threads many times just to put my own thoughts when new announcements should be the sticky topics. Thanks for the "friendly" reminder. I appreciate your words.

Edit: Thanks, Staff, for reading! (9/7/2017!)

^ Thanks for the encouragement! I always find CC people to be wonderful, too!

Maybe something like this exists and I'm stupid but I have a suggestion:
I would like a button for jumping to the top and bottom of the page.

Yeah that would be super useful - we shall have a look into it!
