Yup. It happened to this very thread right after Stick's post. I would say it was threads I'd initially not actually read, but used the "Mark Forums Read" button on, but then it happened to this thread which I've been an active participant in. EDIT: Just had it happen again on...

This is the behavior most of the time. However, occasionally clicking on a thread with unread messages (and thus showing in bold) will take me to the first page.

I can confirm this. It seems to happen on threads I don't visit often, but then it just happened on this thread and clearly I've posted recently. I'm betting there's some sort of odd cookie expiration happening, but I know literally nothing about Xenforo so I've got nothing.

Just wanted to say that I've been greatly enjoying the new software. It's far easier to follow threads now that they're not getting marked as read every time I load AB (i.e. leaving a few posts as unread in threads I care less about). Also having quoted images not fully loading has made a good...

That's actually pretty cool that the building was able to survive everything from urban renewal to the Big Dig and all the construction projects in between. It does serve as a stark reminder of how brutal all those projects were to what used to be a place people lived. Look at the vast swathes...

F-Line, isn't there a similar restriction on Blue Line car size from one of the curves on State Street? I have vague recollections of you talking about that in the past. And my understanding is also that you can't reuse any of the Bowdoin platforms, at least under some of the plans for...

I don't disagree with the cost-benefit analysis, but this same logic points to shutting down Chinatown as well. It's well within the catchment of Tufts/DTX and adds travel time to Orange Line travellers. It's not a matter of drawing circles on a map and pointing out what's within them, it's a...

I'll grant that the Charles end is going to be a lot closer than the current position of the Charles station (assuming the new headhouses actually get built), but I was measuring from what I think are the emergency exits. I say think because I'm honestly not sure where they actually are. From...

My issue with blowing up Bowdoin and not replacing it with anything is that you then create the longest stretch of no-station anywhere downtown other than Park-Charles, and given how isolated Charles already is, why are we isolating it even more? It's a half mile between GC and Charles. A better...

I question if it's a good idea even if it were possible. Having a direct connection to the Orange line (as roundabout as it can be at State) is vitally important. Adding a huge amount of extra walking from GC would be a major issue.

Seems like a great report. I do wonder about the interplay between their assertion that such rapid turnarounds are possible today and the assertion that we need single-level EMUs. While I think every single line of the report is worth pursuing, it looks like a huge investment in terms of...

My contributions from the past few months of being able to post: Heavy Rail to Everett - Two new heavy rail lines to Everett/Chelsea including an Orange Line branch under Broadway and a new line eating a deck of the Tobin and continuing under 1. Also new light-rail along the Saugus branch...

Is this list expandable?

Thanks! It's working somewhat oddly, but it's definitely working. If there's no unread posts in a thread, clicking the title takes you to the first page. But if there are unread posts and you haven't read the thread, it also takes you to the first page (because it's taking you to the first page...

Can I make a plea for the old "Jump to last unread" button? That was primarily how I browsed these forums, and the lack of it makes it more difficult to keep up with things.

I think I'm out on this current conversation. F-Line has repeatedly moved goalposts, refused to admit when he's wrong, and is just short of personal insults. Not to mention that he has repeatedly changed his reasons why this isn't practical when challenged while constantly putting words into...

F-Line, can you please stop asserting that anyone is talking about demolishing the garage and not building a new one? (emphasis mine)

I think this is mostly a disagreement about what is reasonable to discuss. I don't think anyone here is honestly proposing that we demolish Alewife purely to spend more money to send it to a worse location. It's about exploring the possibility space and determining why it's a bad idea to do so...

Re: T construction news Huh. Fair enough. I was mostly referring to the section by the eastern staircase that seems like it would be tough to get a wheelchair through, but I'm probably off on the scale I'm imagining this at.

This does seem like the most obvious way forward. Maximize service on the Fitchburg line, and extend service to two areas that desperately need it. The only other thing I can see is that there's no reason (well, a few reasons) to not branch the Green Line at some point. I can foresee a situation...
