I have not had any problems that I know of and the whole idea of trying to hide peoples' email addresses is a fool's errand. Email addresses get out. And email addresses are not the spawn to identity theft. Careless people are what cause ID theft.
The real answer is to get smart about your email, use a good spam filter, be super careful about clicking on links, and never xfer money in any fashion without verbal confirmation.
So, maybe you say on your site:
"We protect our members from ID theft by making sure people whose addresses appear on the site are aware of it; have the option to opt out of it, and by making sure they are well aware of safe email practices."
It was probably a coincidence that you posted the email addresses and shortly after your president’s email was hacked.

I have heard the AACA Winter Meet which was to be held in Puerto Rico has been canceled, for obvious reasons, and has been relocated to Mobile Alabama on March 22-24, 2018. So far it does not appear on the Meet Information or Calendar of Events pages of the National website and I was wondering if what I heard is true.

I like your new site. It’s clear and easy to navigate. My only suggestion is that you have your links to information or documents open in a new window instead of leaving your site as they do now.

Well down here is South Florida our season is pretty much over until the fall. It is now to hot and humid with very unpredictable showers and thunderstorms to go out for more than a short ride. We had a busy beginning of the year with 9 local shows and the A.A.C.A Winter Meet since January 1st.

Thank you for posting the list of winners. I was at the 2016 meeting and I remember being told that a revised judging form was in the works for websites. I was unable to attend this year’s meeting and I was wondering if a new judging form or Webmasters Manual similar to the Newsletter Editors Manual was distributed. I would be very interested in getting copies if they are available so I can improve my website.

Although I said I got my letter on Friday I may have been mistaken as to the level of the award. After rereading these post, particularly Mark McAlpine’s, and rereading my letter it is not clear to me what award I have won. It says I have won an “AACA Webmaster Award”, with no mention of Master or any other designation.

I got mine Friday for the South Florida Region's website. I have emailed our editor, but haven't heard back from her about the that award.

The website judging criteria is being reviewed by the V.P. of Websites, Norm Hutton. When the criteria is finalized, we will send out an email blast to the webmasters.
Since this was last discussed in March I was wondering if this happened and I missed it?

Thank you Pat.

Being the warmest city in Pennsylvania is kind of like being the best looking frog in the pond. Actually I grew up in Connecticut and loved winter and winter sports. As a longtime resident of Miami I have become a Floridian. Thanks for the advice and phone number.

I noticed on the seminar schedule that there is a Webmasters’ Forum on Friday from 3:00 PM to 4:15 PM, and that it is “By Invitation Only”. How does one get invited as this would be of interest to me as our club’s webmaster?

The mail took a little longer to reach South Florida, but mine arrived today. Now I need to work up the courage to leave sunny South Florida for freezing Philadelphia in February.

No, but one of our members was informed that his car will receive a national award. So it should be long before we here about the Mater Editor and Webmaster Awards.

I like the term “Monet” when describing a car that is best seen from a distance.

Wayne:
I need a classic AACA logo without the background. When I try to insert it into my item the square white background keeps coming up. I am placing it into a colored background. Don't know how to crop around it. Can you help?
Thanks,
Linda
You will need to fill the outside background of the logo with the color of you page background using Adobe Photoshop or some other photo editing program. Our club logo has a square white background and as you can see if you go here http://local.aaca.org/southflorida/ it how blends with the page background.
Hope this helps,
Bob

I was wondering if the new server supports Word Press or what other programs it supports? It would be helpful if the information was given out to the webmasters.

I am unable to log on when I try to post an update to our website.
I get an error message.

I am hoping this is only a temporary problem, and any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I would like to see something in etched glass. You can put most any etched picture you want on them. Maybe a computer monitor/ screen with the AACA logo on it. </SPAN>

Thank you for writing this, MarrsCars - Post #46. I was going to post a similar, though less kind response, but decided not to even before I read this.

One of our own South Florida Region members was invited to be a judge at this event. Here are the pictures he took. These are some spectacular cars and what a great event. Congratulations.

I have what I believe is a much earlier version of the G11, Canon A620. I have found it to be an excellent small camera. I use it mostly for club related photography. Since I take lots of pictures of our car shows one feature I would look for in any camera is an adjustable the LCD monitor. This makes it easy to take pictures from different elevations. This allows me to provide a variety viewpoints without having to climb up on something or kneeling down – the kneeling down part is easy, it’s the getting up part that’s hard - I find it gets rather tiresome having all the pictures taken from only eye level. The G11 or G12 has that feature. As Scott says, it is not small, but easily carried without much thought or concern. I have a small camera pouch that attaches to my belt that keeps handy, but out of the way.
So if the G11 or G12 is as similar to my A620 as I suspect I would recommend it.

Most of the photographs on our web site were taken with the Canon A620.

I forgot to add that Jean Hawa editor of our newsletter, Sidelights, received a Master Editor award.

I was just about to ask if the Web Master letters went out. Apparently they did and what is equally apparent is that I didn’t get one. Oh well, there is always next year.

Bill and Brian,
Until they are done you will need to keep an eye on your links. I fix them and they disappear. I am getting emails from my club members everyday telling me something is not working on the site. I hope this is resolved soon.

Define replica

I’m not sure I can definitely say what a replica is, but I can say what it’s not. This is definitely not. With possibly the exception of the Faux-bra very few can pull it off.
