    OK fellas, so a a few weeks ago I got rid of the loathe of my existence - the social groups. A few of you got pissed off and called me names. That was mean. Sort of hurt my feelings... but not enough to stop me from appeasing.

    Anyway, I just wrapped up moving everything from both the COE and the ’52–’59 Ford groups into the Off Topic forum. To see them, you can arrange by prefix.

    For example, let's say I wanted to read some***** about 1952-59 Fords. I'd go to the off topic forum found here:

    https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/forums/off-topic-hot-rods-customs.98/

    Then, I'd scroll down to the bottom to where it says "Thread Display Options". Under "prefix," I'd select "1952-59 Ford" as seen here:

    upload_2025-10-29_10-25-26.png

    Click "set options" and now you are looking at nothing but content that was in the 1952-59 Ford social group.

    Same goes with COE*****.

    I am no officially done with this Social Group***** and couldn't be happier about it.

    I think it accidentally messed up the "your content" section.

    When I went to check the threads I commented on yesterday the listed comments were all from 2012 ! Lol

    Okay, so you posted detailed instructions. Thank you for that.
    Now, do you really expect people to actually read them???

    That's great! Thanks for saving the '52-'59 group. That is a really good one with some really knowledgeable folks.

    I was the Moderator of the '54 Ford Club of America and up until the founder passed away I was the administrator, when I was informed the end was near several members and myself moved a lot of information to the hamb, jeffB2 was very instermental in starting the 52-59 social site.

    I am afraid I pestered Ryan quiet a bit about saving the information ( FAQ'S) from the social group, knowing just a little bit about hosting a web site I completely understand his reason behind pulling the plug.

    Thank you Ryan for listening to all the passionate '52-59 guys asking to save a group that used the site as a source for information concerning our cars. HRP

    Thanks to @Ryan and @HOTRODPRIMER and everyone else involved with resurrecting the 52-59 social group info. I just followed the instructions posted by Ryan and I've now booked marked the page. And coincidentally I got my new Alliance member plaque in the mail today. Win win all around.

    Outstanding! And so simple to use that even a gearhead can figure it out.
    Thank you.

    Tragically, it looks like swade41's Avatar is a casualty as well.

    This IS the internet. :rolleyes:

    The following link is edited to hide one *bad* word. I think you can figure it out. It is a broken link in it's current guise.

    If you can't find that stuff, ask a teenager.

  28. Ryan,

    I actually hoped you did! LOL

    I am sure there are people that petty out there, but would hope (for the most part) they are not in our hobby!

    My take on the Social Groups was that since you had to be a member to view them, they kind of got forgotten at least by me.

    The Hamb Chapel (which I should have spent more time on ) was a big help early on with Laura's Stage 4 Cancer diagnoses...That was a dark time for me & it was good to know others had my back with prayers!

    God Bless
    Bill
