If you are unable to see the forum, you may have to wait for propagation (1-2 days). However, try the following:

1. restart browser

2. restart computer

3. If Windows, go to Start -> Run and type “ipconfig /flushdns” (no quotes) – it may fix

Many apologies for the stupid problems. I’ve posted a summary in Announcments on the forum.

The International Simutrans Forum has now new forum rules and guidelines and came to replace the old forum rules from 2008 with 3 pages of text (obviously nobody would not want to read that =P) . The new version is very short and covers all needs of the community.

From the Forum rules and guidelines official topic:

These guidelines are here to facilitate the smooth operation of the forum and to protect the community as well as their activities and works. Make sure you have read them. These are not, for the most part, hard and fast rules; in fact, they can help you to better enjoy your stay here.

Now, please our dear members and upcoming ones, read it and behave.  :-)
