I just joined and I have some questions

(1/3) > >>

7/8:
I signed up today and I'm looking forward to joining this; it seems like a cool site  :) However, I have some questions to ask.

1) My username has a slash in it, will this be a problem? I can't save my .list file as 7/8 due to the slash. If this is a problem, can a mod change my username to 7_8?
2) This link http://tm.teresco.org/devel/hb.php is not working for me (it's says "Not Found"). I've tried both Chrome and Explorer. I'm using this link http://cmap.m-plex.com/hb/selecthwys.php?sys=canonf&rg=all&gr=p#r instead. Is this okay to use? I've noticed some of the Ontario freeways are a few years outdated.
3) Could someone check if I'm doing my .list file right? I don't want to get too far before realizing I'm doing it wrong.

1) Can't use a '/' in the file name for the *.list files.  The '/' is considered as a folder separator and is not eligible for file names.
2) Try: http://tm.teresco.org/hb/  A lot of the Ontario routes have been updated since the last pushed update on the old CHM project, including the recently opened 407 extension and 412.
3) Looks ok so far.

Jim:
Welcome aboard.  I have made some quick updates to the "How to" post (http://tm.teresco.org/forum/index.php?topic=5.0) to update the obsolete URLs you mentioned.  You definitely want to use our Highway Browser, since, as you noticed, the one from the CHM project is very out of date now.

Thanks for the responses! The links are working  :). I'm still wondering what do about my username though. Can my username be changed, or should just I create a new name?

rickmastfan67:
A new name for the forums?  You can keep this name.  There is no problem with that.
