SAAC Forum

Photobucket could have been laughing all the way to the bank with a $29 or $39 per year fee.

It was obviously a disaster as they came back asking for $119 instead of $399. Still too high and most users have already  sworn them off. Even using their site has been miserable for some time.

Good lesson on how to NOT transition your free site to a paid service site.

The only Mustang I'd take over my '67.

Nice.

BOO!



Hope I didn't scare you too much.

My business operates under my name. People search the name regularly (for obvious reasons).

I have no desire to share my private interests with the people who do those searches.

But I don't have a problem sharing with members thru private messages.

If it was a club forum and you needed to be a SAAC member to access it more people might be willing to use their names.  I prefer to have a level of anonymity when everything posted is open for anyone with internet access to see.  But that is just me.

But if a member needs to contact me OR know who I am, just P/M me.

I am guessing the car is worth well into 7 figures. Can you imagine that temptation?

If he sell's, I hope it is to someone like FoMoCo who can preserve and share the car with others.

Congratulations guys!  🍻

Thanks for finding it. That is an epic thread. 😎

Maybe they als have the random pictures from the web thread. Would be cool if we could buy it back and load them on the new site.

Wow, what a great find, not positive how to search it, do they have other threads too?

Another feature I like on the other forums I visit is that under each member's name is their location.

Nothing specific, usually just a city or state, sometimes a country outside the U.S.,  somtmes something snarky.

Thanks JD.

I knew about preview but not the profile settings, that is automatic on all the other sites I visit.

Edit; it took a few minutes but works now, thanks JD

Another suggestion. Maybe a 5-10 minute window to make corrections without the post modified tag getting attached.

Not sure where it is now, but since you have to reload the page to read your post, it seems like it is about 60 seconds before editing gets tagged.

I would like to start a suggestion thread;

I suggest that when you post a comment, you get to immediately see the comments in the thread in which it was posted.

This is opposed to having your post load then having the thread close and you get booted to the forum category that the thread is located in.

With the new method, you can catch your typos quickly and make corrections, or maybe you would notice your single paragraph is a full length page of information and is hard to read so you could return to break it into true paragraph format to facilitate reading and comprehension.

#875.

For a site that liked to consider itself the reference authority on all things Shelby, it is both shocking and sad that there was no back-up to either the cloud or an external hard drive.

Especially since it was obvious the site was struggling with issues for quite some time.
