Some of you have noticed that the images from the old ARM forum are no longer visible (in the old forum (http://autoracingmemories.com/old/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,44/)) and therefore you cannot copy them to the new forum.

I apologize for that but it's a limitation of the old software.

If you want to copy images from the old forum you can go here (http://autoracingmemories.com/old/images/fbfiles/images/).

Click on the image you want to copy and it will open in the window. Then just right-mouse click on it to save it to your computer so you can re-upload it to the new site.

Sorry for the hassle.

Since I was probably the biggest whiner:( on this topic, I'd like to be the first one to thank our Webmaster for making this solution available to all of us:). It is not the solution that I was hoping for; but, it is certainly a solution that I can live with and use effectively now. And, thanks again to our Webmaster for all the time & money that he has so graciously donated to this great site! ~VB

I want to assure all of you that the new ARM is built to last. In fact that's the very reason I re-created the site. As the original ARM website became older I realized that much of the best "action" was going on in the forums and the forums of the old site were built on a free software that I was using and it wasn't very good. Therefore, the best part of the site was going somewhat unnoticed and built on a software that was basically crummy. You might say the forums in the first ARM site was a bit of an "after thought".

Before we wasted anymore time putting our memories into a crummy piece of software I decided to invest some time and money in recreating the website and building it on the very best forum software available.

So, while I know all of this is a hassle, in the long run this was the only way to go since the forums were becoming the most pivotal part of the website.
