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.

At this time I am calling on the board to release a statement as to what happened at the end of the meet. The only facts I know are we are left with no chief national judge and a bunch of ugly rumors. Might also be nice to know who voted for this and why. If no one is willing to go on the record then we need some change. I go to these meets to escape this cr*p.

I talked with the NCJ today and he is still on the job. I also talked with the National President and advised him to fix the problem. I'm not privy to all the issues, but people need to come together and resolve the issues. This is a great club and we do not need personal agendas to get in the way of club business. "Dust ups" can occur in any organization and it takes real people to sit down and smooth out the issues.

Exactly! Yes, Ken did not resign as I was lead to believe. It was his original intention.

As always there were great cars and great people and we all ate too much. I post pictures on facebook because it is so much easier. You can put up 100 in a few seconds. Greenfield village was great. I left early Saturday afternoon as I had seen all i wanted to and hoped to get a good head start on the way home.

I think it was a great meet. I enjoyed every minute of all the planned activities, the cars on concourse, and meeting up with many great V8ing friends. There was some drama at the very end of the meet, which could have, or should have been handled differently, and if so, I'm certain the outcome would have been much different. If anyone wants to see pictures of the cars on the concourse, check out a recent post on Fordbarn.

Ken, so sorry to hear about that. I hope all is going okay for you now. Take care and do what the doctors tell you to do.
I know everyone can't access posts with pictures on Fordbarn, but posting several hundred pictures here would have been nearly impossible.
