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.

It's a great idea. I've had a login and password for a long time (it's how I got in to write this note).
But I can't get the new online access to the V8 Times to work, even after following the directions.
I've emailed Cornerstone Registration and tried to re-set my password. No response.
Anybody got any ideas about how to make this work, or should I just wait for the printed copy in the mail?
What am I doing wrong?

Logging into this website and doing so into your Club membership account are two separate things. You need to go back to the beginning of the notification from Cornerstone of the arrival of the digital version and follow the instructions to open a Club membership account. You will need your membership number from your Club i.d. card or the mailing label from one of the "V8 Times" copies to do so.

And may I add, that since there are two different sites (V-8 Forum and Cornerstone membership) when you create a User Name and password for the membership side, you can create it with the same User Name and password that you use for the V-8 Forum.

And you can have that.
There will be NO change to those that want the magazine delivered to your residence.
At renewal time, just renew for the magazine and roster -- currently $35 (USA) and $38 (USA) for joint (household, husband & wife)

But with the $35 (USA) rate you can have both, printed and online.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. The email announcement I received about the online magazine did not make it clear that we need login credentials for it that are completely different from those we use to access the website. That's why clarity matters. I shall now enjoy the V8 Times online.

If any member has questions, check out the Current News item about the change.

More information. As stated before, nothing that is currently offered is changing -- you just have a new option available.

I like the idea of having having a printed version and on-line version of the V-8 times. I just hope sometime in the future it doesn't go to on-line only.
