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.

Joe is one of the best. At any time each one obf us might find some bad parts , if so take the time and call Joe he will immediately straighten out the problem, but you MUST give him the opportunity. It's happen to me and the problem was resolved quickly. Murphy 41 John

While we all understand the frustration of not receiving what we ordered, too often people are quick to resort to conspiracy theories, lawyers and in this case public defamation without first making a reasonable effort to allow the vendor to make it right with them. Joe wouldn't be in business this long nor have the evident support of members here if this was his mode of operation. I'm proud to be associated with all that have stepped up here to provide some parental guidance where it was apparently needed.

Amazing. You can't post the word scr*per on this forum because it contains the word "cr*p" and yet they allow this?

Joe is about as good as it gets and it's a crying shame that someone has to stoop this low to post that nonsense. Lamb basting an individual on a public forum such as this is not the way to go about resolving problems. This thread needs to be yanked!

Never had a problem with Joe's. I've dealt with him a bunch of times. Always good service.

IMO, It's always better to work out something like this directly with the other party rather than blasting them on a website forum. Plus, I have always heard good things about Joe from most everyone who has dealt with him. It's also doubtful in my mind that you will turn many folks who read this against Joe.

I see no mention in your post that you contacted Joe after receiving the parts. Why not try to resolve the problem with him before castigating him on the web? It's possible that someone in the shipping department made the mistake and Joe knows nothing about it. Many times these dealers don't have al the stock on hand so they call another dealer to help fill the order. The other dealer may have sent the stuff to the shipping department and it was immediately sent to you without being checked.
Go back to Joe and try to resolve the problem. Then post here how if it was was resolved and how it was resolved. 42oink points out that his is a clear case of failure to communicate.
