SPAM Blocking Site E-mails

A number of members have SPAM blockers installed on their e-mail boxes, either automatically by the postmaster or individually. As a result when an e-mail is sent out from one of several places within C3VR they get bounced back to the site. If you have SPAM blocking enabled on your e-mail address please add the following as 'OK to receive e-mail from' (this list will be updated periodically):
- C3VRForums@C3VR.com
- support@C3VR.com or Support@c3vetteregistry.com
- Updates@C3VR.com
- AdamW@C3VR.com
- Events@C3VR.com
- passwords@C3VR.com
- profiles@C3VR.com
- club_add@C3VR.com
- News@C3VR.com
- event_add@C3VR.com
- register@C3VR.com
- Invite@C3VR.com

You can also simply set your SPAM filter to allow all Email from the C3VR.com domain.

There have been several requests for support (support@C3VR.com) that have gone unanswered because the replies from 'The Support Gang' have been bounced back by blockers. So if you feel you are being ignored that is not the case. It is because their replies are not getting through to you and there was no other means of contact given (ie. telephone number).

It is also important that all members include a valid telephone number on their profile so you can be contacted when there is an issue with not being able get through using e-mail. All member information is held in the strictest of confidence possible. Your privacy is very important to C3VR.

A tip for remembering your C3VR password!

Here's a tip for helping to remember a (temporarily forgotten) password. The Challenge Question/Answer combination is used in many places to make sure you are you (like asking what your mother's maiden name is). Here at C3VR you can use that combination to help you remember your password.

First decide what you would like your password to be. Then simply word your Challenge Question so that the answer you would most often think of is your password. For example,
- new password: green
- Challenge Question: What is the color of money?
- Challenge Question Answer: green

While there are no real restrictions on how you can word or spell your member name or password, remember that using imbedded spaces, special characters, and upper/lower case characters make them more unique (and more difficult to remember! ).

Large Picture Posting

An old saying goes that 'a picture speaks a thousand words'. In cyber land large pictures equal millons of bytes of data. Large pictures are GREAT for use on profile pages, registry pages, and personal web pages (and are encouraged!), but in the forums, because of their higher 'look-n-see' activity, smaller is better - especially for signature images. Many members (myself included) for whatever reason do not have access to high speed internet connections. Using a dialup modem means suffering through long wait times for a page to display while a large picture is being downloaded (for example, pictures that load in seconds on a cable or network connection can take as many minutes to load on a modem connection).

Please be kind to all by making a smaller version of your picture (400 pixels wide or less) and using it as a hot link to the larger picture. That way those of us on slower connections can pick and choose which larger pictures to take a look at. If you need help resizing a picture feel free to ask any moderator for assistance.

Here's how to make a smaller picture a hot link to a larger picture. Replace { with [ and } with ]

All of us on dialup connections thank you...!!!
