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!)

Good evening, gentlemen,

I still haven't received my copy of the November December 2009 V8 Times issue. How long have you fellows had yours ?

Also, I now have a nagging doubt with respect to the September October issue......did I receive that one either ? Could you please tell me what was on the covers of Sept/Oct '09, and what the feature articles were ?

Thanks for your assistance.

Regards, Grant

I can't find one for November/December. The one on top of the pile is Vol 46, #5, September/October 2009. It has a tan '34 Station Wagon on the front cover and a red '36 Panel Delivery on the back. Features include the '09 Eastern National Meet.

Grant, not sure where you live, but most of us on the west("left") coast are still waiting for our Nov.-Dec. issue. I think some on the east coast have received theirs. It's all in the hands of the post office and with this being the busy time of the year the Times may not be "on time". One good thing about the V-8 Times is it's always worth the wait.

Mine arrived on Wednesday, Dec. 15th. I wonder if all copies are mailed out on the same day? Probably not, that would be a HUGE mailing in just one day. So, they are probably spread out over several days - does anyone know, one way or the other? By the way, it is simply a very great issue, seeing as I am a '34 owner (1934 Ford pickup truck; partially restored).

Thanks for the responses, guys.

I'm in Ontario about 100 miles east of Detroit.

Logically, the magazines definitely have to be mailed in batches. On the other hand, one might think that all Nov/Dec copies would be delivered by the third week in December.

I certainly don't have a November/December 2009 V8 Times, and by the description of a 34 woodie and a 36 panel on the covers of the prior issue, I don't believe that a copy of the September/October 2009 V8 Times ever got to me either.

This is frustrating.

As per previous post, the magazines were mailed 12/8 a few days late, no doubt due to the Thanksgiving holidays. I just got mine here in CA a couple, days ago. They're out there making their way through the USPS and thankfully this time of year they may move faster than normal - believe it or not! Oh yea, the cover is a nice 1934 Tudor Sedan and the back cover is a photo of a 1934 Roadster - and yes, it IS a Roadster - also with a very attractive young lady in era dress standing next to the car. Zowie!!

If you find you do not have the Sep/Oct issue, please contact Cornerstone Registration (1/2 page ad on last page) and request another be sent. Cornerstone will replace magazines but not until 30 days from the original mailing occurred just to make sure two copies are not sent and we only have so many printed. Saying that, if you get a damaged copy, that will be replaced earlier. For some reason, Canada has a terrible delivery record. In fact, earlier this year several hundred magazines sent to Canada completely disappeared and had to be reprinted and resent.

Just got mine on the 16th in upstate NY.

Knowing how the mail works with another clubs mailing it varies all over the place. The other clubs December mailing has already reach some people on the East coast from the MidWest and mine has not yet arrived, even thoght it would have been on the way to the East.

Hey Grant; I am over here in NS and mine isn't here yet. It has only been ten days from the mailing date, I wouldn't expect it for at least a few more days yet.

Cheers, Scott.
