Retirement of the black page DLS website

[Nexusdj]

A notice at the top of the N3V Black page DLS giving notice of its retirement has now appeared :

This version of the web DLS will be retired over the coming weeks. To continue using the web DLS please visit http://dls.trainzportal.com

Sneaked that one in quietly! I suppose there will be the usual suspects kicking up a stink on the N3V forums when they realise it being removed.

All i get is a white screen.

You are not alone, I presume that means they are doing something to it or maybe the apprentice web person deleted the wrong one?

Now that's a huge pain, as I can't seem to link to the new DLS content pages on my website.

All i get is a white screen.

It's OK. For me clicking the link takes me straight back to the page I was on already...

Its back working now, but redirects to https://www.auran.com/DLS/

Both black and white DLS sites usable at the moment

White is alright (for me at the moment).

The latest N3V newsletter states :
As of the 1st of October we will be taking this system out of Beta and will be closing the old "black pages" TRS2004 DLS website

* System in beta = White page DLS

Black page's - White page's, it means nothing, I have TS12, I will not be updating to T:ANE, as my
machine needs toooooo much spending on it to be able to run it.

What is the point in being able to access the DLS in any form, if the items have all been updated to
a spec that you can't use?
This is my bugbear, I get TS12 items telling me they are "out of date", when all it is, is creators updating
to the T:ANE standard and incrementing the item kuid by :1, which means my item is "obsolete", but I
can't download the update, because I don't have T:ANE.

This means CM 3.7 is giving me headaches for no reason.

If you want a "NEW ERA", then create a 'NEW TRAINZ', with a NEW kuid number, and stop cocking it up for
all us lesser minions with less finance that can't just dish out the spondulies to scrap our machines, just
coz 10% of of you are fan boys with toooo much spare bloody cash.

If you are using a 'NEW ENGINE' for a 'NEW' version, then put your money where your
mouth is, 'Make new content', with NEW kuids & leave the old stuff for us that want to use & 'APPRECIATE' it

Hi Trainz members kind of liked the older Trainz download site:
http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS.php
Reason is because the presentation and description of the pictures of Kuids is more impressive. A bordered picture on a black screen is more presentable.
On the other DLS site:
http://www.auran.com/DLS/
The pictures are too plain looking.

Black pages had a 1000 search limit, White pages at least while in beta had not limit on number of results.
Don't normally use either myself Content manager is sufficient for me.
