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!)

Have seen pictures of these fender guards, but the suppliers that i am aware of carry 42-48 guards. Can these be fitted to a 41, or where might I look? Thanks.

None of the pictures of the '41's that I have show them with the rear fender stone guards that were common from '42 thru '48. I assume that is why they are unavailable. I did see one car with a stainless steel version of the guard in place, but it likely was adapted for the purpose. The station wagon version of the guard may be a close fit, but I doubt you would want to spend $300 to find out. The rubber cover of the guards is bonded to a steel plate that contains the mounting studs, and would take considerable effort to adapt them.

I have looked through all the books of Ford pictures that I have. There are no pictures of 41s with the rubber fender protectors. I would have to say that they did not appear to 42. My guess would be that it would be difficult to modify the 42-48 protectors to fit a 41.

41's did not have fender/stone guards. I'm sure there were some aftermarket guards for these cars from places like Western Auto , etc. Every now and then this type of stuff shows up on e-Bay. I bought a bull nose hood ornament for my neighbor for his 53. I haven't seen another one since I bought it and it was made by some aftermarket company.If you do find some fender guards you will have to drill some holes to mount them on your fenders.I'm not sure I would drill holes in fenders to put on an accessory.

As Supereal and TrjFord mentioned,I suspect they were aftermarket add-ons. There is however a photo of a black 41 Coupe with the stainless guards on the back cover of the 41 thru 48 Ford book.
