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.

On behalf of the web site staff, this years National President and the Board of Directors of the Early Ford V-8 Club.....we would like to wish you and yours the most joyous Christmas season and all the best for the New Year.
We had a great year with a successful Grand National Meet.
We certainly appreciate the members that take time to assist and answer questions on our V-8 Forum. We appreciate your sharing of knowledge and expertise. Thank you.
Twenty twenty four will be the Club’s 61st Anniversary. There are two Regional National Meets scheduled and the V-8 Nationals in Australia. Dates and registration information is located in Upcoming Events from the main menu to the left. It is always a good idea to check Upcoming Events periodically for National and Regional events.

As you may know, the V-8 TIMES is now available digitally to current members, so if your postal person decides to read it before delivering it to you, you can view and read the digital version about 2 weeks before it really does arrive by mail.

And thinking ahead, don't forget the 3rd Saturday of June (the 15th this coming year) is National Drive Your V-8 Day. Do what you can and be safe, but try and get out and enjoy. Don't forget to take a picture or two for the V-8 TIMES.

Safe journeys during this time of year. Please remain safe and follow those guidelines, as we want to see you when we are out and about.

Starting January 1, Happy 75th Anniversary to the 1949 Ford Motor Company vehicles.
