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:

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.

A quick check in the V-8 roster for this guy's name as a UK club member will be the first step in seeing he is a "scammer". Most of the UK guys are buying parts from us rather than selling parts to us.

Ken: I have tried a couple of times to source a right-hand engine splash pan for my 38 using our classified parts wanted site. I have had some interesting responses that turned out to be bogus. Many of these folk are from near-east nations, and haven't a clue as to what you are seeking. Be careful!

Here in the US, PayPal is a trusted vehicle to transmit funds. If your respondent will not "do" PayPal, that is a first warning. I'm sure there are valid UK Ford folk who we don't want to exclude. The problem is with the scammers who will respond to you that they have the part, and all you have to do is send them money (preferably by mail order) Just be careful, as these scammers infest our parts wanted site.

Tell him you don't want the carburetor part painted you will spray bomb it yourself and post it for sale on the hobbyist classified section that states no business ads.

Tell him you have a friend vacationing in the UK (or maybe you have someone living there) and would like to have him stop by and look at the part and pay for it. Tell him you need his address. Has he sent you and pictures yet? Tell him to photograph it with a one pound coin next to it.

Ask for a phone number and give him a call. A phone call is cheaper than the parts that you are looking for.
