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.

See page 12 of the Jan/Feb 2013 issue of V-8 Times for back issue ordering information.

On a related note:

Still waiting for the March/April 2013 issue of the V-8 Times and Club Membership Directory. Have they been sent out yet?

Not sure I am following you. Not trying to be a wise guy, but if you need a copy of the article use a copy machine or scanner and make as many copies as you want. Good Luck.

sorry, I did not explain myself well, I would like to get either copies of some old articles from the v-8 times or the actual issues. All are related to my 34 Phaeton. I am a new member with no old (or new) issues to draw from. The issues I need are 1979 March/april,1981 july/aug, 1982 jan/feb, 1984 may/june,l985 jan/feb. 2001 nov/dec, 2004 may/june and 2008 july/aug.
I have tried to contact the back issue folks but have no response. I see no need to screw up someones collection or to buy to entire magazines if someone will just sell me the articles. thanks

Check with the Early Ford V-8 Foundation Museum. They may have the back issues for sale or be able to copy the articles for a small fee.

Welcome JohnSchultz!

Place an ad in the classified section of this forum. Maybe a fellow V-8 man can help out and sell you the issues you are wanting; it's worth a shot. Good luck.

I may have the issues you need, and would be happy to run the pages thru my copier. My collection goes back to '75. Go thru the issues and give me the needed pages by a PM, with your mailing address. One of my fondest wishes is that the past issues of the V8 TIMES could be digitized and made available. It is among the most valuable resources of the Club. For those who are new to the Club, there is an index in the member roster. These articles are mostly by members, and a practical guide to the most often encountered problems. Jerry Windle's stewardship of the V8 TIMES is marvelous, and the publication, alone, is worth the dues to the Club.
