A popup is blocking further progress. I would have posted this item about the Zanesville and Western Scenic Railroad there: https://www.whiznews.com/zanesville-wes ... er-threat/ As I recall it is a former B&O branch with several truss bridges needing bridge timbers replaced.

The line is part of the the B&O route between Wheeling, WV and Newark, OH. At one time the B&O operated passenger trains between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati over the route and there was also a Chicago-Wheeling train that was operated.

In the late 40's and start of the 50's my Dad was an Asst. Trainmaster in Newark.

More specifically:

After entering the relevant information, the pop-up in question advises:

Are you sure you want to send this information?


If you click "Continue" instead of "Cancel," it clears the Flimsies entry form.

This is on Firefox 136.0 64-bit.

Flimsies remains broken.
Today I tried to post The NY Times subway signal article.

The software only completed step one.
Selecting “continue” cleared the screen and returned me to step one.

I posted the article in Interchange.

It started at the same time as the DoS attack on Interchange. Flimsies may be particularly susceptible to a DoS attack, you don't even need to be registered to post there, and so the mods may never bring it back.
