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 National Meet and a well recieved National Driving Tour.
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 six will be the Club’s 63rd Anniversary. There is a Easatern National Meet (Sept 20-24) scheduled along with a National Driving Tour (August 2-7). Dates and registration information will be 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 take their time 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 20th 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 as we want to see you when we are out and about.

Starting January 1, Happy 75th Anniversary to the 1951 Ford Motor Company vehicles.

(and shhhhh......the updates to the Club's web site will be released soon)

And a big thank you to our first and only Web Administrator, who has been a driving force of the Club for many, many years, in membership drives, National Meets and Tours, as a senior member of the Board of Directors on and off for many years, and many club projects that most of us are not even aware of, Bruce, it's a pleasure to know you, may you and yours have a Wonderful, Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!

Are we no longer getting the V8 times in print? I’ve only received the last two issues digitally.

Tim,
Below is info from this website under "Frequently Asked Questions."

Q. V-8 TIMES Magazine missing or damaged. Who do I contact?

A. We strive to deliver the V-8 TIMES magazine in a timely manner and without damage. However, we are at the mercy of the postal system and weather conditions, etc. If your magazine has been damaged, notify Cornerstone Registration at Email: registration@cornerstonereg.com, or call them at 763-420-7829.

IF your V-8 TIMES magazine hasn't arrived, notify us. It is our policy to wait for 30 days to make sure it is not a Postal Service Delay, then a replacement copy will be mailed to you.

Thanks Alan for answering Tim's question.

The Nov/Dec issue always has other competition this time of year.
