Re: New registry website
 

Thanks for the comments and suggestions John. I can't really answer your question about what happens to 2011 members and the HOTB, I'm just dealing with the website. Hopefully someone from the board will speak up on that matter.

Thanks George, it's cold up here so you wouldn't like it :)

When you're talking beer to an Englishman living in Canada - now that's serious! :cheers:

Re: New registry website
 

In the mail to those who paid for hard copy. By email to all other 2011 members who are not 2012 members.

I apologize if my unedited post caused confusion.

Why don't you save the club's money on postage and just send the PDF's? It would be much quicker, you have my email.

Re: New registry website
 

Good ideas & suggestions which need to be considered. However, we have a few members who do not have/use computers and therefore must receive their copy via mail. We also provide a copy to the National Corvette Museum's archives and that's something I would want continued. And we still have a number of members who subscribe to the printed copy simply because they prefer reading from a "magazine" format rather than electronic delivery. You are correct in that PDF delivery would be simple, quicker, and certainly less expensive.

It's also a sign of the times as well as being a bit troubling for those of us who are "old fashioned" when you see more & more newspapers and other printed media turning to electronic delivery ... i.e. Newsweek's recent announcement that they will no longer provide a printed version after Dec. 31.

Re: New registry website
 

I my local corvette club we did this.. When we filled out or membership renewal we checked a box for either a mailing or an email with PDF link.

works great..

Re: New registry website
 

Update:

The link to the web guide on the mail shot got mangled somehow. The link text is correct, but the underlying link was incorrect. So if you clicked on it you got a file not found message.

For anyone having problems the guide can be found at:

Re: New registry website
 

I think you missed John's point. John had selected electronic format for 2011. That's all he wants. I can't see sending him a printed copy.

Re: New registry website
 

That link goes directly to "ERROR"!!!!!

Re: New registry website
 

Dave their appears to be a minor glitch. Heres a helpful screenshot

Re: New registry website
 

okay, that works

Re: New registry website
 

Concur Dave I now see it. :handshak:

Re: New registry website
 

We had a couple of password issues.

For information your password should be 8 characters long with no spaces or punctuation and can consist of letters and numbers in any order.

Thanks

Re: New registry website
 

what happened to the store? the one with the clothing, decals etc

Re: New registry website
 

i wish this wasn't the case. makes my pw that much harder to remember lol. its hell getting old

Re: New registry website
 

Hi Jeff

The store is offline temporarily while we just put the finishing touches to it. It should be online in the next couple of days.

Thanks

Dave

Re: New registry website
 

It gets hard remembering them. I have so many to deal with through work etc. that I can't remember them all and have to use a little "password keeper" software app!

If you use the "remember" option at least you don't need to keep entering it. :thumbsup:

Dave

Re: New registry website
 

Getting old??? You Kevin??? Are you even 30 yet??:sign10:

I wish my joints had grease zerks.

Re: New registry website
 

Word of caution. These files are targets for hackers and/or key-capture type spybots. If you do use a single file for such NEVER use the word "password" in the title or anywhere within it. Also never type the entire password out. Use your own encrypton like this. use a core password with modifiers.
For instance if you have as a core "TuBiD" then you can memorize that part and NEVER write it anywhere. Then record your passwords in the excel sheet as "ABxx$$" where "xx" is your "TuBiD" core password.
You can create any number of passwords with this scheme.
AND be sure if someone finds you password fine they can't use it.

I don't recommend ANY password storing application. Lots of reasons that I won't go into here.

Just some opinions from 20+ years in the software industry 10 of which were involve with security.

Re: New registry website
 

I've used Keepass for many years - very solid and free

I've been thinking of looking for a phone app though for more convenience.

Re: New registry website
 

Great advice Scott! Thanks

Re: New registry website
 

actually i'm 30 on the nose Jerry ;)




but i feel 90

Re: New registry website
 

Nice website...hats off to the folks doing the work.

I've gathered a lot of useful info here...


I don't have a ZR-1, just a plain ol' C4...but I have been checking out the "ZR-1s for sale" section for quite some time now. One thing I found useful on the old version was the "date updated" in the ZR-1s for sale section. Any chance that will be added on this version?

Re: New registry website
 

I'm nervous (old fashioned) about keeping info like that out there in "the cloud".
I have, but haven't opened yet, some gadget that looks like a calculator that stores all your passwords.
I'd probably forget the password to get to my passwords!

PS: I'd also like to see in the Parts for Sale section the seller and price without having to leave the page.

Re: New registry website
 

Hi Vettish

I could probably show the date listed, not sure I could show the date last updated. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it.

Dave

Re: New registry website
 

thanks Dave


...kinda curious why it says L98 under my username there to the left, I didn't type that in anywhere...must be a default 'cuz I didn't type something somewhere.

Re: New registry website
 

yeah it's based on time here/posts.

Re: New registry website
 

Thanks

Re: New registry website
 

I think the progression is L98, LT4, LT5
It's a way of encrypting ones forum experience level.
What it should be is:
LT5 349ci
LT5 368ci
LT5 380ci
LT5 402ci
LT5 415ci
LT5 427ci
LT5 440ci

Some of these may be off but you get the idea.
Or man HP numbers? yea that's the ticket.:icon_scra

Re: New registry website
 

Google this "keepass security vulnerabilities"
And that is not a complete list.

Re: New registry website
 

There's no such thing as perfect security. I've never come across anything that doesn't have vulnerabilities. I find keepass works well for me, YMMV.

Dynomite - I'm looking for something on android.

We're getting a bit O/T here. Maybe we need a topic on internet security (or lack of) :)

Re: New registry website
 

The registry store is now online through the website :

http://www.zr1netregistry.com/Marketplace/RegistryStore.aspx

Buy yourself something special for Christmas!

Dave

Re: New registry website
 

looks like you looked into it...

Thanks! :)


:thumbsup:

Re: New registry website
 

Yes. Date listed and last edited are now on the cars and parts for sale ads. I had several people who also said that they were useful.

Hope that helps. The ads are set to expire automatically after 3 months, so nothing should ever be massively "stale".

Thanks

Dave

Re: New registry website
 

Thanks again, Dave.

Re: New registry website
 

Dave thank you for adding me to the registry and thank you for all your hard work I am sure we all appreciate it very much.

Re: New registry website
 

I like the new, more modern look of the registry website.
Easy to navigate and well organized. But......
JMHO, the "Parts" section in Marketplace aint workin'.
And the fact that the last part listed was posted about
a month ago. I think more info needs to be listed on
the first page: like seller and price.

Re: New registry website
 

Thanks for the comments TF. When you say the "Parts" section isn't working, are you meaning the things you mention with regard to viewing the price etc. up front or do you mean the parts section doesn't actually work?

I can certainly change things around to make more information available up front. That will hopefully help. The page itself seems to be working properly as far as I can tell.

The parts available on it are based on what people have submitted of course. The last parts for sale form came in last month and the others that were on have expired.

One of the issues with the for sale sections is that we're kind of duplicating things on the forum and the website. With for sale (cars and parts) and wanted (parts) sections both on the website and here on the forum. I'd be interested in getting feedback on which provides the best solution so that we could look at eliminating the duplication down the line.

Thanks

Dave

Re: New registry website
 

Dave,
No, the section (& entire website) work just fine.
And good point, maybe people just aren't
listing ZR-1 parts there anymore for sale.
I do, though, still look there and think it would be
helpful to list the seller and item price.
Again, great job for a tough job!
