    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???

    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
