I’m disappointed that S scale is not an option in the profile list of scales that members model in. As an S scale modeler, I would rather not have to use “Other Scale” In my profile. 😔

@Oscar is there a way to turn off email notifications or just certain ones? I don’t want to have constant emails.

@OKC_Train_Show hi I get that it should be possible in your account settings! Let me know if you can find it. I will also change the e-mail settings because I get that it is annoying.

@Oscar Thank you I found it. However, it wasn’t easy to find. Click profile then scroll all the way down on the left menu then go into account.

Thank you for coming up with this idea. I see this isn’t open source so, how are you going to fund this and how are you making this service pay for itself? Is it Ad revenue? Selling data to ‘industry’? We’re in a digital age and data is the new crude oil- apologies if this seems sceptical!
PS share to other socials would make my life so much more simpler 🙏

@Furness_Lines Hey Furness welcome to the community! In the future we will try to fund the platform for hobbyist with ad revenue from advertisers that are relevant. So there will be only train related advertisements.
And one important thing to mention, I can personally guarantee that I will never sell any data to companies. That is also the reason why I dont collect any data. So people only have to leave their email adress and a nickname.
So nobody has to worry about that. That is also an extra benefit of my platform against platforms like Facebook and instagram.
Kind regards, Oscar Founder Model Train Media
