Absolutely!! First you go to the search feature. Then the advanced search. Then put Eric Lavine in as the topic starter. (remember he's our trans guy). Then put alignment in as the topic. Then search for over 6 months ago. Then all forums. Click search and http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6037&KW=alignment&PID=58701&title=span-classhighlightalignment-span#58701 - here's what comes up  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Ben,
I could have just posted a link but I thought I'd throw in some humor on this one. Actually, using the search can be frustrating at times. It can come up with lots of different results depending on the key word used. In the case of Eric's thread on alignment, if you don't enter "6 months and older" and "eric lavine" you would have never found it! At one time I thought that his thread was going to be a "sticky" and always be on the top of the list in the maintenance section. Searching can also produce hundreds of posts that you need to read before you even get to what you're looking for.
Glad to help and keep us posted if you run into and problems or have any questions. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I was about to do that, and the topic is closed and locked....
That thread really should be edited for specific content and stuck on top. 'tis the season! ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

Eric,
You should give Keith a call or email him. He could unlock it (or whatever is needed) so you could go in and edit it removing any high jack or off topic type comments. Then, he could repost it locked again as a "sticky". Mike is correct that it is the season and your thread is a really good one. More people need to know about the importance of alignment. Of course that's unless you need to increase your trans business!!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

I hope I can get it done tomorrow, have lots of family coming, and they expect a boat ride. Everyone that has responded to my "newbie" posts has been awsome, by the way how long do I have to be a "newbie"? |
