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.

Yes Bruce, I'm calling you out publicly!

While not sworn in yet, 2020 is approaching a mere two days away. I would like to congratulate Bruce on being elected the EFV-8 Club president for 2020. For those that don't know, Bruce has tirelessly served this Club voluntarily for decades. He has been a Board member many times, served as Secretary, Vice President; and has run the Club's Website and this very forum for years. In addition, he has voluntarily run the Club's Hershey Booth, and also been the Chairman, and Co-Chairman to National Meets.

Bruce.. Thank you for your service to the Club!

Well, Michael, I am flattered and humbled.
But, I believe that while you are more than gracious in your comments about me, I think that we (the Club) should also mention that you, Michael Driskell, have served as our most recent National President in great standing. And it should also be said that you represent the future of the Club. While we continue to search for ways to involve the youth in our beloved Early Ford V-8 Club, you have shown that there is an interest in old Fords that can be developed and nurtured in younger people. Many thanks need to go to those that have mentored and taught you. And also thanks to your great family members.

Now, I will be honored to serve as the Club's President for 2020. I would like to wish every V-8 Club member and their families, and all those that frequent this site, a very Happy, Safe and Enjoyable New Year!!!

Happy New Year to all.

Congratulations Bruce and many thanks for all that you have done for the V-8 Club and Early Ford V-8 Foundation.

Bruce was a Trustee for the Foundation for many years, until term limits were imposed and did a great job there as well as being a Director for the Club.

Thanks Mike for serving as President in 2018 and 2019.

Tom
