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. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

I am happy to have my new issue and I have read most of it.

There needs to be a correction: The photo at the top of page 77 is not Clyde Barrow. The man standing next to the 1932 Model B-400 in the photo at the top of page 77 is named W.D. Jones. The man in the photos at the bottom of the page is indeed Clyde Barrow.

Agreed.....they HAVE DONE a great job. But, I know someone who is an employee and the older delivery persons only deliver the mail that they are required to deliver. And, IF there are excessive advertising flyers or 3rd class to deliver, they dont have do it, and wlll leave it for the substitute delivery person on Saturdays. That is why, somedays you get a ton of mail, and somedays you dont. At least that is what happens in cities with populations greater than 70,000.
In reality, the postal service is on the decline. There will not be any increase in mail -- even the federal government and state govenments will cease mailing tax forms next year. Electronic is taking over, whether we like it or not. There are even Regional Groups that are asking members if they would like the monthly newsletters online. I am afraid those of us over 59 1/2 will see the US Postal Service either become too expensive or cease to exist before we push up daisies.
At least we have our friends in the garage that we can go share our time with.

nelsb01, don't dis the Postal Service. They are delivering the mail like they are supposed to, and they do a great job at a reasonable price. I only recall their losing one piece of my mail in all of my lif (out of millions handled daily). I routinely send parcels across the country by the USPS in less than 48 hours. If you want to help them keep prices down and improve service, when they propose to close a post office, support them instead of complaining to your Congressman. Congress doesn't let them be efficient.

Hint: Leave a tip for your mailman (or person). The problem is that the older delivery people know that 3rd class doesnt have to be delivered. Ever notice when you have a substitute or on Saturday you get lots of mail. That's the answer, the regular knows the rules, and if they dont have to deliver, they wont. Just to heavy for their years of service. I am getting close to advocating sending the PO to a private company. Then we will get delivery like we are suppose to.
