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!)

Well, I've been waiting for someone to comment on the front cover TYPO with a great photo of a 1936 Ford that somehow suffered a TYPO turning it into a 1933! I do know what a 1936 Ford looks like. Fortunately the line of type blends into the background.

NOTE: Unfortunately it appears some magazines being received by members have missing/duplicate/blank pages. Hopefully this is will not be a BIG problem. Today alone I've been made aware of FIVE and have ordered replacements! If you receive one of these, please contact Cornerstone Registration for a replacement. We will replace damaged, messed up magazines right away. However, it may take 7-10 days before you receive a replacement for your damaged magazine. For missing magazines, we wait for a month from the mailing date, in this case 2/1/2010 for the Jan/Feb issue just to make sure they have had a chance to make it through the USPS system. This is the printer's mistake and I have made them aware of this potential problem!

Well, those in the center of the country (where it is mailed from) got the issue on 2/11/10. Later than usual.
And I got the wrong cover and no missing pages.

Finally received today in the Chicago suburbs. All 104 pages accounted for in proper order. Another terrific issue, Jerry!

My issue of the V-8 Times arrived yesterday, in Fargo, North Dakota, and it has the incorrect labelling of the auto on the cover as a 1933 Ford Fordor. But the rest of the issue is as it should be - no mistakes detected. It is a great issue and I study it thoroughly every time it comes. Thanks for the good work! I realize that printing and assembly errors can occur, but they are usually minimal.

Just looking for clarification on the date. Is the date you posted above the date hey were mailed, or the date they will be a month late? Is the Jan/Feb issuse usually mailed the first part of Jan or the first part of Feb? Just wondering. I have not received mine yet but the mail is always slow getting here.
Thanks, Scott.

Cheers, Scott.
