Just throwing this out there, I do work in IT and am somewhat tech savvy. I am not familiar with how these forums work, but if we need more volunteers to help as admins I would be willing to as a thank you for all of the good advice I have gotten on here. Just let me know and I can share my contact info.

Thank you,

I'll make sure James gets that message. Thank you.

When I upgraded the forum software, some settings that werent there before got added, and the defaults didnt allow the pics to display properly,  I kept going over and over the attachment settings, and everything was right, so I logged back on the forum software support forum, and found a guy last week with similar problems. I used the answer they gave him him to figure it out. Compression was enabled which caused the pics to not display, so I disabled it, and fixed it. Never would have known that setting existed as it is deep in the admin pages and you have to search specifically for it to find it.

Thanks for all you do James.  I for one really appreciate all you do.  FYI, as I was typing this, this msg came into the first sentence "t :iamwithstupid:".  If something like this appears in one of my posts, know I didn't put it in there intentionally.

Likewise. How do we fix that? Is there something that I have to change in my profile stuff?

RICH MUISE

Hugh has the same problem. I just looked at my forum info, and under forum profile,there is a drop-down with "NOTIFICATIONS" where you select how you want to be notified. I Don't know if it'll work for what you want, but try it.

Youll probably have to setup your notifications again..some ofvthe settings carried over, some didnt.

Picture distortion....Guys, until James can get into the program, we need to restrict our picture posting to the old limitations of 4 pic max per post and 4k mb max per 4 pics. We need to resize pics before posting so they are under 1k per pic.

Well over a month ago after seeing that my original notification preferences had been removed with this new thing I updated them in order to get the email notifications that I used to get.
Still not getting anything. The last one that's still in my email is dated April 5th 2022.
Can anyone help me out here? Please! Do I need to do something else?
If anyone has an answer to this problem maybe a PM to me will get through but considering how this new thing seems to be working tonight I'm not gonna count on it. : (
HELP!

James...Rich called me today and told me about doing that...so I just went in and used my forum sledgehammer on my profile page. Now I'll wait to see if the right stuff was clobbered. Do you have any hair left? I am sure this has caused more than one hair pulling fit!

Thanks!

I've re-set my notifications several times & I still don't get any email notices. That makes it very difficult to participate here, so much so that without any help from the powers that be here I've about given up on it.

I agree, I do not receive notices on a lot of topics leading me to think that there is no traffic on the site, when in fact, there are people posting.
When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Here is a couple of errors that maybe the sight administrator can look into.  From the home page, if you click on "contact", you get the following:  [contact-form-7 id="705″ title="Contact form 1″]  Not sure how I would use that to contact anyone.

Secondly, the link for Ford Road Parts is broken.  His web address is:  https://www.frpartsstore.com/  Maybe the link can be fixed.  Thanks!!
