WEBSITE PLATFORM UPDATING BEGINS!

Justin, To enlarge an image. First upload it then hit edit. You will then have options to change the INSERT size a shown below. You can then upload other images and change their sizes without having to save each image.

You can also change the default background to DARK mode which is easier on the eyes.

Thanks John! Any tips or tricks you're discovering are appreciated!




I've been playing with the uploading of photos. I've dragged and dropped this one into the text box but it still was no larger.




However, if you go back later and hit edit you'll see some options in blue: small, medium, and large. Choose a size and drag another copy of it in. I chose medium for the shot above.^^ I'm getting an "invalid entry code" but the system allows it anyway after I hit okay. Others may not get this code? To remove a photo all you have to do is place the cursor to the right of the photo then hit your backspace button. It will erase it like unwanted text. I'm sure there is a way to get your photos to show this large right off the bat and skip this step but I'm still in the learning process as well. Let us all know if you find an easier way. Thanks again guys!

I've been playing around wit the new website. One thing to know is that you are not automatically subscribed to a topic when you respond unless you go to User Setting in your profile (top right corner) and select that option. There are other important options there also. Cheers.

Hi Roy, good to see you here! Thank you for the tips! It took me a minute or two to figure out where the log in was. I should have followed your lead and read the directions. We are all trying to figure this new system out but we'll get it dialed in eventually.

Thanks John! Looking forward to the updates.
Merry Christmas you guys!

Well that took me while to realise that its important to read the FAQ pages before you start. The LOG IN for existing members is on the top right of the registration page I seem to remember. Only after trying a number of times to access the full site where you can reply to mails and failing, did I realise you have to LOG IN in that box first!!

If you are a member already then first LOG IN. top right box.!! Sorry maybe you all realized this was the logical way forward and its only just this old guy, who took an age resetting my pass word still not having success till I found with FAQ the info on the login box!!

I wonder how long it will take this old guy to post photos

Will be interested to see all your new work Justin on the cars. Missed the progress!!!

Congratulations Justin on the new website!! I'll be updating my build in the next few days.....weeks.

We're all back to newbie status with zero posts

Thanks for updating the website and Happy Holiday!!

Well at long last the new forum platform is up! Sorry about the loss of the more recent posts that were submitted after the conversion was completed a few weeks ago. Please feel free to resubmit them once you get this new place figured out. I am in the process right now of figuring things out ,loading photos etc. for myself so I can begin posting my projects once again. The first thing I had to do was reset my Password. I see we finally have Private messaging and probably a lot of other things I'm just not aware of yet. There are a lot of fine details and bugs still to work out but at least we're up and running and all the old post content was saved. Thanks again you guys for all your patience and help with this. Hope to see everyone back on here soon!

Justin, thank you!

I am beginning a challenging rebuild of a T-6 Roadster and would like to begin a thread after the site transition. I am seeing things while using mismatched but 'close enough' NOS major pieces that I am being educated in differences the limited number of Belgian 356s had to which I was unaware.

I have worked on a few (maybe 3) during my career and owned one myself for a few years and was aware of many differences from other Roadsters and all other 356 models...but I didn't know half of the small differences until this project!

Maybe arcane and not of much interest to most here on this site, but if Justin indulges me, I'll find the time to post on this project occasionally.

I think it would be good, plus you always make thing interesting

BLOG isn't that what the Europeans call bondo

[Jack Staggs]

Bruce, you got me on that one, bro.

Thank you Johns, Brooks and Pierce!

First, I need to learn what a "blog" is........

[John Pierce]

Bruce,

it would be great to see the differences if you could start a blog!

I have one also that is pretty much untouched, if you need a measurement or photo just ask. I scrapped a T-5 40 years ago and still have a bunch of mechanical stuff if you need something.
