Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

Answering Rybcon's question: Lost Data/Old Forum:
The answer is "Not really." The old Forum was hosted on a totally different site and it is not possible now.
Again, the old Forum had old software, different language, and opened off-site. Basically, what you are suggesting would cost the club hosting fees for two forums, and that is not cost effective.

John, I've noticed that my posts are always, how shall I say this... Narrow?
I never hit the return key, but no matter, it just happens... ? The window
I'm typing in here becomes the width of the post automatically. How come
nobody else's does this? They just seem to ramble on twice the width.

I know, major dumb question, but before some smart aleck pops wise,
NO, I don't think I'm just narrow minded!

Hey, As browser of the V8 club site, I'm stunned, low and behold the V8 club has a new presence. I've spent a short time navigating this site and find it a lot better than the old site. But I have a suggestion that I wanted to PM the administrator rather than make a social topic out of it. I find that you cant PM the site administrator, Whats up? Now remember I just started to use the new site and its pretty nice so I started to review the forum section and they all started out with topics that were addressed a long time ago...old new-gossip what ever. My immediate question was why cant the posts be done newest to oldest rather than oldest to newest. Right now this is only a month or so old so you dont have a lot of pages to got thru but after time if you will have to go to page 100 to read current discussions. So anyway since I cant PM you this is a shout out to the site administrator about reconfiguring the way the forums are archived. Dick

Hey Dick, good to have you back! I find that the most useful way for me to use the forum is to click on the "today's Active discussions" just above the Ford Forums. You can continue any fresh thread there. If you want to post to older threads or create a new thread, then go back to the subsection of your choice.
