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.

For the 27th year, the Early Ford V-8 Club will be on the Chocolate Field (south) row CV during the annual AACA Fall National Meet in Hershey PA. Once again thanks to Dennis Carpenter Reproduction Ford Products, we will have information on membership and Club published books. Including the new 1935-1936 Ford Model 51 Truck book.

Stop by to chat, ask questions, and say h*llo. We will be signing up new members, taking renewals and book orders.

The booth will be open Tuesday (Oct 3) through Thursday (Oct 5) -- 8 am to 4 pm.

And, we are always looking for Early Ford V-8 Club members to assist with the operation of the booth. If you are interested and will be at Hershey this year-- just send a PM (personal message) to this UserID and we will gladly find a time that fits your Hershey schedule. (or email to efv-8c@msn.com )

Pack in day is three weeks away!!!

Heading out today.
Already had an inch and a half of rain this morning in MN.

Great news about the 1949-1951 Mercury Book getting published. Have seen the near final draft at Hershey in the past, before Gene Napoliello's untimely passing.

Again, travel safe and look forward to seeing you in Chocolate Town USA.

Arrived at 3:20pm Sunday to 82 degree weather.
Looks like the fields are ready -- and there are tents and port-a-pots.

Looks like a good week. Will try and update nightly.

WOW -- a hot one. Worked up a sweat just putting up the canopy.
Also saw the ambulances take two away.
Got on the field around 8 am.
Walked about 7 miles today. Saw a lot of asphalt. That just means some spent an extra day at the beach.
The wooden nickel that the AACA gives out with each program purchase only lists 2 years on it. In the past it has been 4 years.
Asked at the Hershey AACA souvenir tent what that meant and the reply was that their current contract with HERCO only goes until 2025.
Hmmmm.
Up at it tomorrow before 8 am. The weather says another beautiful day.

Another warm one.
Lots of familar faces -- but not a lot of people walking around. Lots of scooters and golf carts though.

Was able to walk the Orange and Green fields.

Another warm one. This is becoming a reoccurring event.
But, where did all the people come from. Larger crowds, but still small, but encouraging.

Good number at the V-8 booth. Glad to see that.
