Yesterday I created a Facebook page for the Garagemahal, meaning this webpage and forum. I'd love to have any and all of you like it and share it if you see fit.
In fact I decided, for some odd reason, to advertise the new Facebook page. So, if you see it please click it and add to the fun. However, I don't want to use the FB page for troubleshooting nor answering questions as I really don't see Facebook as a good medium for that. Given that, I will turn people that ask questions or pose problems here. If you think that's a mistake please help me understand why.

I think this is a good idea Gary. The Garagemahal is a fantastic resource that is under-used. It needs more exposure. I liked and shared the page, and I have pointed facebookers this direction many times. Some just like the FB format and can't be bothered to register here which I find really odd, but others have been very appreciative at least for whatever link I directed them to. There are a lot of members in those FB groups and a lot of potential to reach bullnose owners.

Thanks, Jonathan. I use FB, as you know, and use this forum. But I see them as filling different niches. To me, FB is good for "hey, look what I did", but the forum is good for that plus compiling a history of how to fix things or how to accomplish things.
Anyway, if we can get reach more people then that's good.

And today I added the Bullnose Forum Facebook page. Not quite sure how all of this should fit together, but maybe with your help we'll get there.

In reply to this post by Gary Lewis
Question for the FB users:
The Bullnose Groups seem to all require an approval to be a member, but they are public pages. If you comment on those pages, or create a post, does it show up in your own friend's news feeds?

Cory - That's a really good question. I've been wondering the same, so just did a test. I posted on the bullnose fords 80-86, which is a public page, and my wife didn't see it.
But, I have had a few instances where a FB friend of mine liked a post I've done on one of those pages, so that had me concerned. And, since I have the two FB pages, Bullnose Forum and Gary's Garagemahal, I've joined two of the groups as Bullnose Forum and post that way. But the others don't seem to allow a "page" to join, so just post as myself, which is what I did on the bullnose fords 80-86 page.

Some groups do allow pages to join, such as the 429/460 Big Block Fords page.

Yes, I'm "interacting as Bullnose Forum" on there. Thanks.
