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.

The Sept/Oct V8 Times arrived Oct. 13th.

For those that listed their Classified offerings for this publication, its only 7 days short of 2 months from the deadline date the Classified listing had to be submitted which was August 20th. Put it out at the end of the driveway, you'll get quicker response.

Hallelujah, brothers. With the assistance of Jen at Cornerstone, a very nice lady, our July August 2023 V8 Times magazine has finally gotten here.

It arrived yesterday. Another great issue! Thank you, Shannon.

For anyone who might be interested in seeing the Bumper Badge image on page 10 in color, it is attached below (zoom in near bottom left).

The online (digital) version of the Sept/Oct 2023 V-8 TIMES has just been announced as available.

If you are a current member and you have shared your email address with the membership company, you should have received an email announcing its availability.

The September/October issue of the AACA "Antique Automobile" arrived Sept 15. The MTFCA's "The Vintage Ford" came yesterday Sept 25. Let's see when the Sept/Oct "V8 Times" arrives?? I suggest the V8 Times should do away with its "Touring & Social Events Calendar" since it's only current if the listed event is months away from when the current issue is received. Don't suck your thumb while you wait.

Still no July August 2023 V8 Times in our backwoods rural Canadian mailbox.

Has anyone else not received theirs yet?

Did it ever occur to you that all those so-called publication dates are man-made creations and nothing more than words on paper? Where's the written promise to deliver the magazine on such and a date? There is no promise! The Club has provided a digital issue for those who can't wait or don't like the USPS or never have power outages that wipe out computer memories, whether connected to circuit breakers or not. There is no race between the car club's magazines as to when their publications should reach your door and to make such a comparison is juvenile.

Grow up!

Without directing my attention to a reply regarding computer issues that are inherent to computing, I once again wish to point out the problem I see with the V8 Times in its untimely publishing. The magazine is consistently late in its editing, printing, and mailing. Receiving the printed magazine in the middle of its second month of coverage is unacceptable. No other auto club magazine follows what the V8 Times considers as normal performance. I just received my September/October "Model T Times" yesterday Sept 14th.

My "Antique Auto" from the AACA, and "The Vintage Ford" from MTFCA is expected within the week, yet the expectation for receiving the V8 Times is sometime in the month of October! I refer you to my previous post in this thread as to why this is unacceptable. And NO, I don't want to read my magazine online.

Who would have guessed, but mail gets delivered on SUNDAY now.
Up today and checked the mail when getting the Sunday paper. Mailbox empty.
Came back from a day out and checked again -- mail. On a Sunday.

Still got the issue of the TIMES with the mail that was delivered from Thursday and Firday on Saturday. But now Saturdays mail on Sunday.

Crazy.
