I can handle Facebook and some Twitter, but MySpace is for 13 year old girls and sex offenders! LOL

I just created a new Facebook page that has forum topic updates built in! Just visit the page, login in to Facebook and become a Fan! http://www.facebook.com/pages/BigMackTruckscom/207976141027 There is also a link for the Facebook page and the new Twitter page on the right hand column for easy access...this stuff isn't going away, we might as well take advantage of it! LOL

Yep, BMT now has a Twitter Page! It is set to receive updates from the forum...so go ahead and register to follow! http://twitter.com/bigmacktrucks

Dec. 23rd, 2009...that is the 12th Day of Christmas and we will have all the specials available at once for that day!

Today's special is for you guys! B-Model Hubcaps...Buy One, Get One FREE!! http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=71_73&products_id=413 Supplies are limited...so act fast!

We stepped up to another security update but someone forgot the piece of code that says not to stretch small images! A quick patch and all is good. The server does it's back-up thing at night so maybe it was that that caused it to be down for a few. We run several redundant back-ups to help prevent against data loss. One back-up even downloads nightly to a different server! It's not uncommon for a site to be out for 1 min here and there. It's those 1 hour plus outages that we don't like!

testing small image upload...

Right click on the desktop and click the Screen Saver tab. You will see My Pictures Slide Show. You can select what files you want to show and then have then automatically flash on your screen as a screen saver! It's really cool...but you have to leave your PC on all the time.

You should be able to set your computer to display photos as a screen saver! Thats what I do. Just sayin'

Most of them work by uploading pics from your PC or by inserting a card or usb drive into the frame. I've tangled with a few for family members and they aren't too hard to figure out.

We got some good stuff....just have to pace ourselves! ps....I'll look at your pic problem tomorrow.

Don't forget to check the specials daily! www.wattsmack.com We still have some novelties and maybe even some antique stuff coming up! Today is Cobra CB's for $76.99 ea!

Welcome to the forums! Glad to have you on board. I'm sure you will get lots of feedback...some good, some bad and I'm sure there will be some ugly! But my advice is to take it all whole heartedly because the members inside these forums are Mack customers! Past, present and future!

I got a few different replies over the last few weeks, but I didn't even read them. Not sure who wrote that code, but it's not very smart, LOL I am looking into changing it somehow, but for now, just click on the link to reply or login to the forums and reply from your messenger. If you want the recipient to reply to you, you can always add your reply email address in the PM. Then they can click on it and send a new reply directly to you...

I've been seeing a trend of members trying to reply to PM's sent to them by other BMT Members...problem is that when you reply to the email notification that you get in your email inbox, it sends the reply to me! At the bottom of these notifications, you will see: You should either click on the link provided in the email or just log into BMT and reply from your PM Inbox. Then they will go to the right person!

Hmmm...sorry about that guys! I have tech support looking under he hood to see what's wrong.

Did anyone receive multiple emails from BMT during the last bulk mail (regarding the WMSI 12 Days of Christmas Special)? Or did anyone not even get the mail? Curious to hear some reports, I think the bulk mail system shorted out! LOL

Welcome to BMT!

Don't forget to give a minute of thought for the brave men and women that fought valiantly in the first US battle of WWII. PEARL HARBOR by Tom Zart Sunday, December the seventh, In the year of 1941, While most of Hawaii still slept, Came the planes of the Rising Sun. Waves of bombers and fighters flew, From the decks of the Japanese ships. While our planes were still on the ground, "Banzai" was spoken from their lips. The winds of war had been blowing Across the oceans of our earth, Though not till Pearl had been bombed, Did we realize what freedom's worth. Wars are fought and won on two fronts, At home and on the battle line. Both are equally important, When war consumes our heart and mind. The attack brought us World War II, With death, pain and separation. All who had served were well aware Of their sacrifice for nation.

Welcome to BMT! You found the right place for Mack info! Glad to have you aboard!

OK, since it is Christmas time, I'm feeling generous! I've increased global upload limits as follows: Puppy Poster - 10mb (0-49 posts) Porch Pup - 50mb (50-99 posts) Big Dog - 100mb (100-249 posts) Bulldog - 200mb (250-499 posts) Pedigreed Bulldog - 350mb (500 + posts) All levels have a 5mb single post limit... If you need any more room than that, then you need an online storage solution! LOL

You should be able to post pdf's in topics and in the Wiki. Size is the big issue...some pdf's can be 2 or more mb's. The problem with this is disc space...we don't have unlimited space to work with, eventually it will fill up. Regulating file sizes helps to prolong disc space. I will look into bumping file size up a bit but I know it wont be a major increase.

I'm happy to announce the return of the 12 Days of Christmas Promotion from Watt's Mack! We will once again be giving away a ton of free stuff as well as offering daily specials at deep discounts during the countdown to Christmas! I think there will even be a few old iron parts on the list this year! Be sure to visit our site daily to see the specials and to register for the give-a-ways! More info to come! Specials start December 8th, 2009...but you can register for the drawings today! http://wattsmack.bigmacktrucks.com/contests.php

It will show all new posts and new replies to existing posts (but only 5 at a time!) After 5 new replies...the 6th one drops off the list. The cool thing is that it is always up to date! It auto refreshes itself every 30 seconds. You can still use the "View New Content" link to see everything that is new!
