Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

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:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. 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.
  8. 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!)
  9. 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.

efv8,


I beg your pardon sir? I have never used derogatory language in my posts. But Im not so sure your network administratos can say the same. By the way, Bill is right about my last name! I wont cause any more trouble.....Bill was also on the money about the clicks on this very interesting topic. I was hoping it would exist in its entirety to shed light on this very elusive subject for others. We have covered some very important material here...

Bill, Mr. Arguelles is welcome to post specific questions on the Forum. He is taking advantage of our site by posting ads for his business, and using the site for our members to "appraise" his vehicle. While the topics can be interesting, this one has gone on WAY too long. Many remarks have become derogatory. We have had complaints. Mr. Arguelles has used colorful language and is breaking the rules. Enough. WEBSITE ADMIN

If I understand the comments made by the forum administrator, efv8, contributions and/or questions to the EFV-8 Club Forum should be limited to items relative to Fords, as Henry built them.
I would agree that some of Dan's (arguelles67) comments have been very troubling in as much that he gets answers to his question (s) only to take a different tacked...
It just dawned on me that the answer to Dan questions might lay in his online name... "(argue)(elles)", in Spanish arguir/arduidor is the same as English, arguer. Some people take great delight in being argumentative.
I do not think that the amount of viewers of the Ford Roadster topic has been caused by people scrolling down the list of topics. A topic has to be clicked open before it registers. As to if all of the 2,000 viewers actually read the postings, that is a different question.

Tom YOU ARE RIGHT. Dan, your original questions have been answered. THIS conversation has gone on way too long with argumentative and sometimes colorful languange. Our Forum is designed to help members get answers to their Ford Co. vehicle questions - - and not for a social blog. Mr. Arguelles, you are taking advantage and exploiting the purpose of the Forum. Please do not continue on this topic. If you have other SPECIFIC questions, try a post.

Dan, the web site administrator was being kind to you, what he should have said is that your original questions were answered and you are dragging out the discussion and going off topic by talking about your business. You think that there is a lot of interest in this topic, because the hit count is high. Most users of the Forum scroll though it topic by topic, by hitting the next button. Your hit count would go up, even though the topic was not read.

IMHO you are taking advantage of the courtesy extended to you by the people on the forum. You ask a question and the dispute the answer with information from other sites or sources.

If you have specific questions, we will be glad to answer them to the best of our knowledge, but lets end this topic.

Tom

Dan, don't want to be the bearer of bad news but your Ford never came equipped with a hydromatic. Hydromatics came in General Motors cars. Yourcar came equipped with a flathead motor, 3 speed stick transmision and a torque tube drive rear end. I realize you car has been modified, but nothing in the running gear is original equipment.
