BigBrother-84

Progress! Interested to participate to the “Test Forum”, but not sure how to proceed… I suppose the goal is to test the embedded version. Do we have to wait that the embedded version will be accessible? Cause right now, there’s only the title that is visible, rest is blank. EDIT! Now “something” appears. So let’s test!

If you prefer a less expansive option, there’s a guy who sells a LEGO model.

No, I sprayed aside, on a piece of paper. And then applied gently on the needle, with a small artist paint brush. I had to let dry before applying a second touch.

Bullnose Crew Cab for sale on eBay. Not cheap, let's say...

Jim has a well hidden secret we’ll discover someday. He is awake all night… and all day! I suspect Jim has some stallion blood, he’s never totally sleeping, just mildly drowsy, ready to wake up and react.

Last year, I changed all the instruments gauges for NOS units. Well, almost all of them, since the only one I was unable to find NOS was the tach. So, I had to paint its washed out pale needle to match the «new» original color. I had on hand a Rustoleum Marking orange spray paint. I tested it on another old unit (with a thin paint brush) and it matched perfectly.

Man, you make me realize that 4x4 crew cabs were only 0,2% of the whole 1984 Bullnose production! Completely the revese of today’s sales, if you don’t want a Crew Cab, it’s a special order. O tempora, o mores, like they say.

Nice truck! Welcome Kyle!

From what I've seen porting Weebly isn't easy. Two years ago when I was looking for someone to do it no one had been successful. And, as the above says, once you port it you then have to go back in and fix things - on every page. My understanding is that Weebly code only runs on Weebly servers. And yes, our forum uses a Nabble platform and it will not be updated. But our forum does not use a Weebly app embedding feature to "integrate" it in the Bullnose website. There is no Weebly app to do that. We are actually using a Nabble app to do that that runs on the Nabble servers. Having said that, there is the HTML iframe capability that Chris used to put a couple of the forums we tried on the Weebly site. Weebly supports it just fine, and why Xenforo can't use it I don't understand. There are several more well thought of forums to be tested, including InVision which may be the next to try. Its documentation says it can be embedded on another website, and I'm sure if that is true it'll work on Weebly. So I'm not ready to consider moving off Weebly. I believe we have two separate issues and we can solve them one at a time. Last, the reason we have our forum embedded our our documentation website is because we want the user to have the full range of menus at the top of the page. Forum platforms don't do documentation. Website platforms don't typically do forums. So if we want the forum members to have access to the documentation then we have to integrate the forum onto the website. Thanks for answering my questions Gary. Now I see and understand the whole pattern. It make sense to stay with Weebly hosting, I fully agree. There is certainly a Nabble alternative out there, that can be embedded into our Weebly made and hosted website. I thought that there was a Weebly app available to embed a forum. They discuss about two options, I am still uncertain about option #2: Option #1 — Embed a Third Party Forum in your Weebly Website Option #2 — Embed a Forum in your Website using a Weebly App. Having that said, I feel no emergency to switch to another forum platform. Nabble isn’t so bad, we learn to use it. We have plenty time to explore different alternatives, no stress!

Don't bother. See my post just prior to yours. Xenforo is a no-go. Well, time for me to pause and ask. Please correct my understanding if I’m out of the track. 1- Weebly: • Weebly is a "website builder" free software. • Weebly is NOT a server app, it does not offer services like VPN, DNS, FTP, File Sharing, Wiki, Web Site hosting, Users and Groups permissions, and so on. • Weebly offers some "apps" that, in fact, are kind of "extensions" that add features to the website, like embedding a Forum directly in the website. • Weebly company also offers website hosting, but a website made using Weebly software can also be published on any other hosting provider, simply using the export feature. But I suppose that any modification to the website is little bit less "direct", since you have to export+publish to the remote host each time you modify your website. 2- Web Host: • Not clear for me if we have our own computer somewhere that is «server software» equipped and is hosting our website, or • Our website is hosted on Weebly company servers, for easier editing reasons. 3- Bullnose Library: • In fact, the Library is a collection of web pages, made using Weebly website builder software. • If, for some reasons we go to another host, we can still continu to use Weebly software, or export the site to import it in another website editing software. 4- Bullnose Forum: • The Forum uses Nabble platform, but this latter is aging and will not be updated by its editor. • Our Forum uses Weebly app embedding feature to "integrate" it in the Bullnose website. So, if these statements are not completely in orbit, why not begin by asking Weebly about what Forum platforms can be embedded in a Weebly made website? They probably can submit a list, in which we could find an interesting Nabble modern alternative.

Gary, thanks for precision. I did not dig the specs, lack of time. A mobile app that cannot post, what’s the goal? In fact, we do not need a dedicated mobile app. I was simply thinking about "mobile members" who could find easier to use an app designed specifically to be use on mobile devices. A full featured mobile app, or course. About Xenforo, I’ll go take a look. Edit: Just read your no go conclusion, so I’ll not lose my time on it.

Funny facts about Big Brother (from Marti Report): THE 1984 F-SERIES TRUCK Of the • 571,773 1984 F-Series Trucks, • 1,198 were F-350 4x4 Crew Cab Pickup Trucks. Of them, • 484 came with 5.8L 351-2V V-8 Engines. Of those, • 258 had 4-Speed Warner Manual Transmissions. • 6 of them were painted Light Desert Tan, of which • 5 had Tan Vinyl Bench Seats. Of those, • 1 was equipped with a Spare Tire & Wheel. • 2FTJW36G8ECB10514 is that F-Series Truck. Lol! Knowing where Big Bro was going to live (Anticosti, no asphalt, rough gravel highway), it was delivered with a supplemental spare. This truck is really unique!

«Despite the lack of consensus over whether large language models "know" or "reason," the AI research community commonly uses those terms.» For the moment, I would say that our Forum has know reason to fear about AI replacing its members as source of information and relationship.

Does Xenforo has a mobile version app?

I too. The way open and relaxed discussion among friends should be. A technical forum where you never smile while reading at is boring. Why not have fun while having constructive technical exchanges, life is so short.

Big Bro (crew cab) has manual T18, this picture seems to show a big floor plate. But I dot know if it is larger than a regular cab…

Thanks Nick! I’ll certainly test it on Big Brother’s rear doors, which cannot be found new and are sun rotted. I painted them, but this did not "rebuild" the thin plastic.

Wow! What's the name of that giant boy, new Brutus' friend? Goliath?

Man, what a job!

Super, what a feeling! Congrats!

Hi Phillip and welcome! I suggest that you setup your iPhone to take your pictures in JPEG instead of HEIC format. More “site friendly”.

Roadside repair with makeshift parts: Not exactly makeshift part, but similar. Maybe more Fixing what is not broken, or a mix of the two? Before going to a 8500 miles road trip, asked my garage to replace the +\- 15 years old (but still working) mechanical fuel pump with a new unit. I kept the old one as an emergency part, who knows. The new pump died in the middle of the trip (road side repair in Yellowstone Ntl Park). I reinstalled the ol’ one, and bought a new unit at Salt Lake City. Nearly 6 months later, this new pump is still in its box, the ol’ one is still running very well.

The only 3+2 pins connector I find: is this one (C-402): But wires colors nor form match.

Well, seems that Chrome has less settings than Safari on iOS. I only found a setting to automate inactive tab archiving.
