91vert Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Anyone else having trouble opening up the latest May edition of the Bugle online? I can open up other months but not May's. Cal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialEducation Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Works fine for me. Maybe a little on the slow side today to get the initial opening, but I was able to open the doc, flip pages, and zoom in just fine. Opening it up did remind me that I need to bug Mr. De Fiore about those new windshield cards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I gave up trying since it would not accept my member code or the code for Mason-Dixon since I am the director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I am having the same problem as Larry, and this has occurred more often than the rare occasion when it will open. Both my home address andas Regional Coordinator, even when I get the Office invite to open. John Scheib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91vert Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 I just tried again and still no response. Can open others but not May's. John, Larry, I suspect that you also get a hard copy in the mail. I only get the e-mail issue so am out of luck. Cal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialEducation Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Just out of curiosity, what browser are you running? The first time I tried the May issue, it took well over 30 seconds in Chrome. The next time I loaded it, it was only 3 seconds (assuming it was cached at that point). Explorer was right at 30 seconds, Safari 15 seconds, and Firefox wouldn't load it at all...

Wordpress was being a jerk and not letting me login earlier today either, but it sounds like Cal was beyond that point because he was able to load other issues, just not May. When it did finally let me in, the May issue loads very slow for me, but it loads. I think it's just bigger than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gariepy Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 The login is specifically designed for members and not officers (although it may work as long as there is no duplicate email address) The simple need to know your member number and entering your last name in lowercase is the key. The only other complexity is when the last name has a space, hyphenation or other punctuation. I simply remove them, but that doesn't effect many. If you can't login simply email me at petergariepy+bca@gmail.com with your members number and I'll see whats up. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gariepy Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 As to speed. The files are large - 20mb-30mb. So depending only our internet speed is the issue more than anything. Peter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 A few months ago, I was trying to get into the "Members Only" section using the member number and last-name-as-password. Would no work, no matter what. Although it should have . . . until I suspected that with my 4-letter last name, it wasn't enough characters. I then did a different and LONGER password and it worked. Later, after forgetting that one (or a web site software update, requiring a new password entry), I requested a password and got one with lots of different characters (which was rated as "STRONG") and used that. No problems. As password "approvals" now typically require longer and "stronger" passwords with numbers, letters, and characters, perhaps the current "last name password" might not be enough for some users' names?

91vert Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 I tried again this morning and still unable to get May's issue. Can get any other issue. If it was my password or something wrong with my computer I would think that I would't be able to get any issues. Cal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Wiegand Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 In regard to the current issue of the Bugle (June 2016), Mr. Earl has outdone himself again. The extremely early Buick pedal cars in the photos are a sight to see. The one that caught my eye immediately was the one with the very young boy and his passenger. His dog looks to be bigger than he is. What a hoot. As usual, Cindy and Pete did an absolutely beautiful job with the magazine. I know that several on here have said that they had trouble trying to get access to the eBugle. For what this is worth, I did not have any problems getting into the magazine. I guess that means that I must have done something wrong. Keep up the great work with the Bugle.

91vert Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Well for what it is worth I can't open up June's issue aswell. I will try on my neighbors computer later. Cal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I use my reclining chair and paper copy with a nice Ottlight. That works pretty good now. The old recliner used to jam and wouldn't fold down right. Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Wiegand Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 John, I am pushing as hard as I can to get this car rebuilt and on the road again what with this house restoration and all. The last time that the engine in that car ran was on the 4th of July Bicentennial Parade in Hutchinson, Kansas. I hope to have the engine professionally rebuilt and back in the car before winter hits. Of the three Buicks in my shop, this '16 means the absolute most to me because of my Dad. 40 years is too long to let a Buick set undriven. It has been a lot of fun and educational getting it back to this point. And the friendships made along the way are priceless.

JohnD1956 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 As I understand it Terry, the 16 still has it's original paint? In the photos accompanying the article, are the lighter areas faded paint? Also, what's involved in a cage valve? Just wondering why it's called that, and how one repairs one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Wiegand Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 John, I would really like to explain to you all about caged valves and all, but then I would be hijacking the original purpose of this thread and I don't want to get Lamar giving me any bad marks on here. The paint on this car is really pretty decent. It is just dusty as all heck and I just want to clean it up once when all the work is done. We think the car was repainted in the very early 1930's. I will send you a PM later in the week. Terry Wiegand Doo Dah Kansas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Terry, Start a new thread about valve cages and put in pictures, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
