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.

I live on the east coast and still waiting on mine. It has been late coming this last year or so, so I have learned to try and be patient.

If you are a member, and it sounds like you are, you should have received an email blast from the Club's membership company, Cornerstone Registration, last week announcing the digital version of the Jan/Feb 2022 issue is available for viewing.
While it is not the magazine that you hold in your hands, it is the actual magazine on your PC.

Now, if you did not receive the email blast, then that means that your membership information needs to be updated. You can do that yourself, or contact Cornerstone to have your information updated by adding your email.

When the email blast announcing the issue is available for online viewing is sent, that also means that the magazine is at the printer and almost ready for mailing.

Please note, the ability to view the digital version is an ADDITION to receving the actual magazine.

Still waiting here in Seattle. I'm like others...I got the email blast, thank you, but I still miss having the hard copy. This delay of the printed copies keeps happening. Can we please do better? If someone is trying to slowly get rid of the printed edition we'd all like to know so we can discuss it.

This comes up every two months and you would think that by now most would have accepted the fact that once the printer delivers the magazines to USPS, no one with any connection with the Club is in control of their delivery. Evidently not as there remain those who see a conspiracy at the national club level to deliberately deny them or delay the delivery of their hard copy of the magazine. It's like a scratched CD stuck playing the same notes over and over and never reaching the point of where the explanation from the last issue is replayed.

It has been suggested that the Club should not continue to use the lower cost media mail rates for the mailings, but rather they should be sent by first class mail. I wonder how many would gladly pay twice what they are paying now for faster delivery? After all, the Club has not increased its U.S. annual membership fee of $35 for nearly 16 years so the answer might be a resounding "YES" or would it be something else?
