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.

Amen to that John. The lines separating the names are great. I can now toss the ruler I used to use to make sure I got the correct phone number.

I agree with fordv8j, our new editor, Shannon is doing a great job, and I think she welcomes constructive suggestions on issues that may need attention.
On another issue I've always had with reading a V-8 Club publication....our Roster, I just recently received a copy of the 2022 Roster, and for the first time since joining the V-8 Club, I can finally read the Roster without the need for using a magnifying glass!! Thank you Shannon and whomever else may have had some hand in increasing the size of the members printed information.

As suggested, I sent Shannon an e-mail and she kindly agreed to look into the matter.

It is not just old pictures. On page 4 we have a picture of our president, John, and his son Jason. Can anyone recognize John from the picture? and Jason is barely discernable. The contents are great but somehow the pictures are too dark. I would assume the pictures are digitized and can be lightened. When my original digital camera started failing, the pictures got dark. A new camera solved the problem but I cannot say that this is the case here.

A lot of the pictures are old and they turn darker with age. The new pixs are fine.
Not much you can do to make them like new.

Bruce,

I guess that some have not noticed one of the big plus features that their digital version delivers is the ability to magnify each page for easier reading, something not available with any hard copy.

Yes, I've noticed that as well and the photo quality has deteriorated...
