RailPro User Facebook Page

I'm not a huge Facebook guy either, but I do belong to a few special MR groups, mostly for a couple nice large layouts, scenery, weathering, etc. I am always surprised at the number of views our local model railroad club gets when we use Facebook to post an upcoming event. Its a big machine and it helps get the word out. I could easily see where a new Railpro convert would find the Facebook page before he/she would find our forum.
There is a way to "pin" a post so its always at the top of the Facebook page when any opens it up. For example- look at Mike Deverell's layout Facebook page and his trackplan is permanently at the top. If Campbell can pin his post referring to our forum so its always the top post it would be helpful. Otherwise it just gets shoved further and further down the pages as time goes by.

I frequent the Facebook group more than the forum because of ease of access. I use FB a fair bit, so the posts on the Facebook group appear in my news feed. To come to the forum requires deliberate effort. I think both have their uses, and both have value, as many people utilize the web in differnet ways. When discussing Railpro, either online or in person, I try to direct people both.

In case you don't know, the Notify button (by section or topic) will send you an email when a post is made. It's not exactly a feed but it is more efficient than random popping in to see what's new.

Wasn't aware of that feature, I'll check it out. Thanks!

To date I still haven't been able to successfully get in touch with whoever is running the other RailPro users map. I was going to attempt to merge the two but the link is bad and no one will reply. Of all the other platforms I absolutely loath Facebook.
Edit: and now the link redirects back to my map. Does anyone know John Tews? He isn't answering posts or messages on FB.
