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!)

When backing up out of driveway and just as I turn on the street the car squeaks also squeaks when brakes applied. I can see if it squeaks when I apply brake but when I'm just turning to get on the street is what baffles me? I had the wheels of when I got car and repacked bearings and checked brakes. Now this? Seems coming from rear

In high humidity weather, the brake shoes can absorb some moisture and rub on the drums causing a squeak. This usually goes away after driving a few miles. If this is what you are experiencing, I would not worry about it.

If it is not the shoes rubbing on the drums, you may have worn axle housings, causing the rear wheel bearings to squeak. I would worry about this, as it could lead to a broken axle.

There are other causes of squeaks and you will have to check out the suspension for them.

Thanks TomO when I checked wheels last winter the right axle had slight marks on it not deep. What can be done to avert further damage short of replacement of axle? John

The squeak does go away after a while but not completely a slight one some time. Usually take car out once per week

Tom, worn axle housing? What is the axle housing you refer, the entire outer housing from differential to the wheel? I've never been in this situation regarding rear wheels, and it's Greek to me . So bear with me on this I'm learning. John

John,

The rear wheel bearings use the axle housing as an inner race. If the bearings are not kept greased, the housings wear on the load side (bottom). The squeak that is produced is a high pitched one and is usually heard backing up at low speeds.

The brake squeak is usually a lower pitched squeak, some time it sounds like the groan old men make when they get up from under the car.

Marks on the axle are usually OK, marks on the housing, mean it is wearing. The bearing surface can be turned and a sleeve pressed on to repair the worn surface. Order your sleeve from John Connely, as they have the correct hardness.

Tom

Is your squeak high pitched or a groan?

A squeaking or grating sound from a brake drum can be from a loose part, such as a dislodged shoe clip. The last one I chased was from a "horseshoe" clip that fell off a parking brake assembly.

I pulled wheels rear, one possible problem on right side wheel is when they turned drum down they left a ridge on bottom where cut ended the is more pronounced then the other wheel on left side. It rubbed against front edge of shoe making it black. It's possible a squeak? Then I opened pandora box, I lifted the dust seals to check if any fluid, sure enough it's leaking on both wheels. So replacement is required. The color of fluid is rust color. Will know more later. I believe the core is done with rust will see.
