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:

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!)

Did they ever have fender sidemounts on 34 Fords? I saw them on a roadster and wasn't sure if they ever came that way. Can anyone advise me on this?
Thanks, Jerry

Yes side mounts were available for the 33 and 34 Fords there are a number of factory photos. I believe they were standard equipment on the sedan delivery. optional on others.

I have a very rare set of trunk-rack brackets for a '33-34 car which had sidemounts. It has a hole that fits in the bumper bracket mounting hole and wraps around the bracket itself for stability. This allows for the trunk-rack to fit close to the body. This is for a car without the rear mounted spare. It must have been for special ordered cars.

I thought that someone might want to see a photo of my Trunk-Rack brackets for a '33-34 Ford with sidemounts, so I hastly attached one to the left side an snapped a picture of it for you.

It the 'old days' it was very common to see fender mounted spares on the '33-34 Ford open cars. I have also seen many sedans and coupes with the fender mounted spares.
I know two guys that have '34 Ford open cars with dual side mounts.
It would appear that by 1935 Ford discontinued the practice of offering fender mounted spares on any of their cars, even the sedan delivery's.

Ford might have discontinued fender mounted spares in 1935, but that doesn't explain the 37 Ford roadster with a right side sidemount, driven in the Nancy Drew mystery series.
