The Rail Information

The Rail Icon operates a bit differently however when you encounter it on a site's Junction Page. From there, the left and right arrows take you from one Junction Page to the next, and clicking the railroad tracks returns you to the member site. What happens if a site removes its Rail Icon? We run an automated site checker which scans all of the active sites in the system 2 to 3 times a week, looking for sites which are either down or which no longer display the Rail Icon. When such a site is found, we visit it manually to verify that the site checker didn't make a mistake, and if the problem is verified the site is placed dormant and email is sent to the site author. While a site is in this "Ghost Town" state, travelers on the system will be automatically detoured around it. Site authors may reactivate their sites themselves, by fixing the problem, then clicking on their Rail Icon once to notify the system that they're back. This works in most cases. However, if you encounter a dead end anywhere on The Rail, and the site remains inaccessible (or unpassable) for longer than a couple of days, we certainly do appreciate it if you notify us by email. In some cases, these reports by members and riders have helped track down problems earlier than the site checker would have found them, and sometimes identifies problems that the site checker may never have found. What is the HTML I should use to display the Rail Icon? You will need to add a few lines of HTML code to one of the pages of your web site. You will add it to the page you specified as your site's URL in your submission form. The actual HTML code that you will place on the page will vary depending on your Site ID, but the correct HTML will be sent to you by email when your site is approved. You will also be given a link to your Member Page where you can view the membership instructions online. After you have followed the instructions and added the HTML code to your page, the next step is to visit your own page on the web and click your Rail Icon once. This ...
