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:

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!)

I registered both my '35 and '54 with YOM plates without having standard plates first. Just went in and filled the paperwork out, showed the plates and it was done. Good for 5 years at $50. No carrying around other useless plates either. No inspection and no registration stickers in the windshield either. Nice!

That's the same way that California does it. The trouble with California is finding someone in the DMV who knows how to complete the paperwork. They are too busy issuing driver's licenses to people who don't speak english.

Good luck with that. Having the vintage plates on the car just adds a class touch to it, imo.

Texas allows the use of year of manufacture plates, but does it a little differently. You register the vehicle with current plates, then apply to replace them with YOM plates. The state issues a 2 x 2 metal tab with the registration # on it, as well as the date of expiration - 5 years, btw. On renewal, I just get a new sticker. The tab attaches behind the YOM plate, no worries.

Thanks everyone for responding; I can tell you that the DMV here in Las Vegas is't very helpful at all when it comes to vintage car licensing & registration. Anyway, bought the plate & I'll try to find out if it was used for a passenger car.

Connecticut also is a state that allows you to use "year of manufacture" license plates provided you keep your current registration and plates in the car for inspection by the cops. There is no check to see if the number is currently in use although they may want to see the plates you intend to use. They are supposed to ask but didn't in my case.

BTW if you want to see a real comedy act, go to a CT DMV office and ask for the form needed to use the YOM plates. Its the only form not available on the internet and most DMV clerks have no idea what it is or where copies are kept.

Here is a web site that shows what a generic '36 passenger car license plate looks like:

Bob, if you are a club member you can use your roster and call some of the members in Nevada. They can probably answer your question.

Same deal here in Maine - if you carry "real" antique plates in the vehicle you can use year of manufacture plates on the vehicle. And, unlike some other states (like Massachusetts) you don't have to clear the number to be sure it's not being used on a current plate. I guess they actually believe people can tell a 1936 plate from a 2010 one.

Here, in Iowa, we finally got the DMV to allow "year of manufacture" plates, if we carried the "real" plates in the car,too. It took a special act of the legislature, as current law allows all numerals only on "official" vehicles such as police, fire, etc, and our old plates have no letters. It would be a good idea to check your state laws regarding such plates before you spend any money to obtain or restore plates. I'd ask your DMV regarding your question. We are fortunate to have a DMV in our county that is very helpful, but not all are so lucky.

Does anyone know where I can go to find out what a 1936 Nevada license plate should look like for a passenger car? I see one for sale but has the letter "T" preceding the numerals & am wondering if this was for trucks. Nevada used to label their plates by counties & numerals, none of the Nevada counties begin with a "T."
