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.

Hi-the reasons i am on the forum are 1)i was given back issues of the V-8 Times and have started reading them(they are facinating!)2)I am in automotive parts,and if any one had an old car they send them to me for assistance and 3)My Dad had a 1952 Customline Tudor while in the Navy and always talked about that car.
For some reason i have a fondness for the Flathead,a certain panache i guess.I don't own any early V-8s-but i would be honored to join the fun.Thanks...Bob

Bob, you don't need a car to join the V-8 Club. All you have to have is an interest in Flathead V-8s.By joining the club you will get 6 issues a year of the V-8 Times magazine.Hang on to those older issues as much of the info does not go out of date.You can join the club by going to the front page of this site and join on-line or by calling toll free 1-866-427-7583.

I did that on 31 October. Any idea how long it should be before I see anything in the mail?

Scott,

I think it takes about 3 weeks , even for renewals, before the registration comes in the mail. I think the membership card might come with the next scheduled V-8 Times mailing. That would be at the end of November or early December for it to show up.

You can contact Cornerstone via email for information:

I joined online on 11/3 and received a packet of goodies including my membership card on Thursday the 19th. I was impressed both with the speed of getting material and the initial material. You may just be waiting on the post office.

I joined the local region on the 11/5 via regular mail and got my initial package from them a little over a week later. Equally impressive.

I look forward to a long involvement in the club both online and brick and mortar.

Jim...
