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.

MG,
Send me an email with the correct spelling of your name, car year and body style and I will gladly have your strip redone. I was asked to do your strips by someone who was asked by someone else. The info I am getting is third or fourth hand. Contact me directly so I can get it right.
All you have to do is ask. My email address is millysch@frontiernet.net or you can find my phone number in the roster or in the V-8 Times at the bottom of any of the previous meet reports.
As to anyone else who would like to know how their vehicle is listed in the JSC records, just email me and ask. I am happy to give you any information that I have.
Milly Scheidt

Well, here is a solution -- a direct quote from the Judging Standards Secretary..........
"Please post on the forum that if ANYONE has a strip that is missing, misspelled, contains incorrect information, they should contact the JSC Secretary. Put my name - Milly Scheidt, email address millysch@frontiernet.net out there. I'm not sure who was responsible for the mistakes, but I will do my best to correct them. That's my job."
So there you go --

@nelsb01 - I don't think so. They misspelled it differently than the previous misspelling this time. They are not consistent in their misspellings. Besides, the spelling of my last name was correct on the envelope the strips were mailed in. I think this is some sort of a vast left-wing conspiracy.... :o)

MG............
I believe you got the general form letter for 2015, and not the one for 1997.
As for the misspelled name -- I would chance say that the Club's judging records have your name incorrect, and that is where that comes from.
You would not believe how many members we have that have incorrect information in the Club's records, and even though there are ways to correct it, and members can correct their information, they choose not to do so.

Received my metal strips along with the letter from Milly Scheidt in the mail today as well. Letter states that awards were for the 2015 National Meet. I did not show my cars at the 2015 National Meet. My awards were won in 1997 for my '34 and 2006 for my '53. And, again, my last name was spelled incorrectly on both strips. I give up....

Quick follow-up for "...the most decrepit ugliest V8er that has been a Director of the Club since the age of the dinosaur..." (nelsb01) as well as his under-study disciple 'ford38v8' (Alan), and also 'Kens36' (Ken), as well as everyone else, the engraving strip for my '47 Merc's Interior and Running Gear Rouge Awards earned at the Eastern Regional in Charlotte during June, referenced earlier in this thread, arrived today and was engraved as nelsb01 described in his earlier reply on page one. Additionally, a very nice letter from the Secretary (Milly Scheidt) arrived with the strip as well which detailed expectations for the next showing/judging of the car.

Done very well - very proud to be a member of this organization.

Cheers -

Steve

"My '34 received a Rouge Award at the Western National Meet held in Rohnert Park, CA back in 1996....At least I think it was '96. I received a beautiful Rouge Award plaque at the event. Several weeks later, I received in the mail an engraved name tag (with my name spelled wrong) to attach to the plaque. I never received anything to indicate which categories (Interior, Exterior and/or Running Gear) the car won. To this day, I have no idea if my car won all three categories, two or just one...."

My experience also..."Bertha" was judged in 2006 at the Eastern National Meet. Got a nice Rouge Award plaque, and was told at the Awards Ceremony that we were certified in all three categories, but no "strip" designating them was ever sent.
I did get the 'strip' with my name.....spelled rite.

Sure would be nice to have the proof.
