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.

One does not have to be a member of the Ford Barn nor log in as a member to browse the site and all postings on it. One just need click the link I provided. If one's access is blocked it's because they are trying to access it as a member rather than just the general public. All of my family and friends are able to access my reports and none of them are members. One may have to delete their browsing history and cookies so that their computer does not try to log on automatically when clicking my link.

Old Henry.........

Thank you for posting those shots. Beautiful.

I always enjoy your photo tours.

Are you using photo bucket? Or something else? Would you be willing to show me how to do that with our Tahoe & Route 66 photos?

Perhaps you could send a PM ?

I'll answer here in case others want to know.

Yes, I upload my photos to Photobucket. After uploading the photos they can be viewed as a library with thumbnails arranged in a grid. In that format each thumbnail has a gear icon in the top right corner when the mouse pointer is on that picture. Put the pointer on that gear and a menu pops down. Click on "Get Links" and all links pup up. Left click on the "Direct" link. It will turn yellow with the word "Copied" in it. If the photo is not being viewed in a library grid click on the photo to open it in Photobucket and those same links will appear to the right of it. Again, left click the Direct link to copy it.

Then you go to where you want to put the picture in your post. If it's on the Ford Barn there is an "Insert Image" icon above the posting area. (It's the yellow box with the mountain in it.) Left click that and it opens up. Right click on the partial address that's there then paste the direct link you copied from Photobucket into that space and click OK. The picture should appear in the post.

You can post any picture found on the web the same way. Right click on the picture, click on properties at the bottom of the menu that pops up, copy the address (URL) then paste it into the image box on Ford Barn to post it there same as described above.

Old Henry,

I always enjoy your back road adventures - both the pictures and your narration. How fast do you drive on those desolate back roads?

1-4 mph under speed limit unless the speed limit is over 65 then 64 is my tops. (I don't have overdrive) On dirt roads, whatever speed I feel comfortable with and in control. Usually well under 50.
