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'm not as quick mentally sometimes as I used to be; I'll be 84 years old in the morning, but I'm still hangin' in there, and most guys a lot younger than I am, can't keep up with me physically! I still feel about 50 and don't know where the time went; up to 50 years old it's like your going up hill 'cause the time goes slow, but after 50 it goes like a snow ball rolling down a hill; faster and faster!!

Regards, Steve Lee

Hey Steve;
Happy Birthday!

Some, if not all of us, feel the same way. I have to admit that since I retired (15 years ago) everything has been going a lot faster.
And I retired early.
But as the doctor keep telling my 95 year old mother -- exercise is good! And that is what we need to keep doing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!
Steve
have many more, keep those flatheads FORD'S Running,
ENJOY THEM,
best regards Ludolf 37RAGTOPMAN MAINE,
I hope everyone enjoys it,
Here is a POEM written by CARL BARKER 2001,
Cars lined up as proud soldiers
Standing at attention
Their hood raised up
Those who shuffle amongst them
Owners fussing about
With dust rags in hand
Ready to whisk away the slightest
Blight to their pride and joy
This is the sight that greets
A visitor back in time
A chance to remember and reflect
"I had a car like that once !'
Memories flood the minds
Tears flood some eyes
As life stories flash by
If cars could speak
What tales they could tell
Of journeys near and far
Of owners young and old
High school proms and picnics
Birth,death,weddings
The cars were there
As part of it all
This is why we do it
Spend time money and energy
Bringing back memories
For us and all who happen by

Thank you for your kind words. I retired early too- when I was 53, and I'm always busy, and enjoying it. I work on my cars, work on friends cars, Repair my sprinkler heads, do the wash, cook, clean the house; and it goes on and on.. You see, I've been alone for about 15 years; have a big house on a corner, sitting on 2/3 rds. of an acre.It all keeps me going! ( and that's good in a twofold way)- It keeps me in shape, and it gives me a reason to get up each day!

Regards, Steve Lee

Happy birthday Steve. I turned 71 in February, retired at 65 and enjoying life in the garage and woodshop. We have 10 grandchildren, and I'm lucky in having two of the boys living close to me, that like to work with me in the garage. It gives me great pleasure to pass on my knowledge and experience to them. Just wishes the others lived closer so I could spend more time with them.
