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.

I am eager to get out today for my first Drive your V-8 Day. Last year my '39 was still in the shop. This year just waiting on the weather to dry out here in St. Paul, MN.

I drove one of my Ford V8's about 32 miles yesterday for the "Drive You Ford V8 Day". Up to Highlands NC for "Butt's on the Bench", the local Saturday morning event. Saw a 35 Ford Fordor headed to Franklin, NC for the Taste of Scotland event and a 36 Tudor sitting in a garage being ignored. Great weather for a drive. Picture below was a Bridal Falls. (The road use to go behind the falls until 30 tons of rock came down.)

About 15 members of Northern Illinois RG#8 drove 60 miles to Rockford in 7 Early V-8s (and other cars) where we met with a larger group form Rockford RG#105, who brought quite a few Early Fords - didn't catch the total number. Two members from Badger State RG#35 also joined us. There was an 80% chance of rain all day, but we pretty much stayed dry.

Ten members of the Twin Cities Regional Group #46 participated in what I call 'a feel good car show'. We showed our vehicles at the Bendictine Health Care Center in New Brighton. The residents had a great time viewing and telling us about when they owned a car like that.
The Center treated all to root beer floats and after two hours we cruised the back roads of New Brighton, Shoreview, Lino Lakes and White Bear Lake ending up were all good V-8'ers do --- at a restaurant.

Drove my 36 coupe to the Triumphant life Church in Eatontown,N.J.,that was having a benefit car show for St. Jude's Children's Hospital . I parked next to a real nice 49 sedan, the only other flat head V8 there. By the way,There was a Model T depot hack and an original unrestored 1911 Cadillac there as well and both these cars got more attention than the cars from the late 50's on up,also both the owners were 20 years or more younger than me!

I reply to one specific post, and the site put my reply at the bottom of all the posts? Huh?
