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.

Just have to wonder why folks advertise for parts wanted and do not respond to correspondence.
I tend to respond to these ads as I enjoy helping folks out.
Still, only one in perhaps five respond.
Whether or not they no longer need the part is not the issue. It's simply proper manners.

Funny, but in the past week or so, I have responded to five wanted ads. The ONLY fellow to reply was from the United Kingdom. See, there are folks with manners. Too bad that apparently there are few, if any (by my small sample) in the USA.

Not sure if it was you but recently I'd sent two emails to an ad that was looking for 39 plate. No response from either - perhaps a week apart from one another.

Let me interject here --- I receive at least two emails a month from the site that informs me that an email address is not valid after a person creates a new UserID and password to this site.
That could be one of the reasons as to why you send a reply, and it does not get answered.

Web Ad,
I am confident that in some cases this may be the cause. However, having the correct contact information is not only prudent when attempting to locate parts, but incumbent upon the member to be certain their information is in fact correct.

Currently I've sent three emails to a guy wanting a top tank for a '40 radiator. No response to any of the three. I was more than willing to ship a nice one for nothing more than the postage.

People should respond, but I also find that in the old car community, there are some who are really tough to reach. They don't go on line often or even listen to phone messages. We are an odd lot, it seems.
