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.

Yes, the pic should be on both front and back Why not?

Alan, don't get me wrong---I totally appreciate all the hard work that goes into putting together an event like a national meet, and I am also personally familiar with the difficulties of getting a bunch of non paid volunteers to co operate and get something big done. I appreciate all the efforts of the club and the members for the great meets that they put on for us. I know that there are more important things to gripe about. Thanks for listening. TonyM

While this does sound like an excellent idea on the surface, there must be two sides to the question. I'm sure you'd be welcome to join with next year's volunteers where you can put forth your good ideas.

Thanks for the support Fred. Consider the following scenario: A member at the meet encounters another person some where in town and they have a brief interaction. One member is wearing his meet T-shirt with logo on the back with his hoody on. They two people take care of their matter and go on their way. No further contact. Had the meet logo been on the front, the two would have recognized that they were both there for the meet--fellow club members. Well, they meet, talk a little, and one discovers that the other has the part he has been looking for. They would not be talking BUT FOR the meet logo being on the front. Had the meet logo on the back and had been covered by a shirt, hoody or jacket, these two club members would not have made a connection and simply walked away.

Tom, My wife has asked me that same question for years. She says if you are talking to someone, they would be able to see the meet design and may never see it if it is on the back. Fred Killian

Why have all the national meet T-shirts been printed with the design on the back for the last several years? It wasn't like that for Auburn 2011, where the fabulous design was printed on the front. If one is wearing a hoody or an overshirt, the design on the back is buried and no longer able to be seen. If the design were printed on the front, then the design could be seen wearing a variety of shirts, jackets, hoodies, etc. I keep being told that "they" want them like that. When asked who "they" are, I am told that "they" is "everybody." Not true. This member would like the club to go back to the way it was and print the meet T-shirts with the design on the front.
