How to Use this Website

How this website works.

This website is set up to have both anonymous visitors and registered users.

  • Anonymous users: can post some messages in various parts of this website. But, each time the anonymous uses writes a message, they will have to enter a capta challenge, such as the very easy mathmatical questions. This is to check if you are a real person. The math questions are only supposed to appear for anonymous users. You will have to answer the math question every time you want to enter any type of information on this website. Anonymous uses can only enter messages, and to a very limited degree. When you are NOT logged in, you will have a lot more steps to do stuff (and sometimes you won't be allowed to do things) than when you are logged in.
  • Registered users: Once you, a registered user, log into the website, you should have no math questions, no more capta challenges. Those capta math and text challenges are only for visitor who not logged in. Most stuff should go a lot more smoother when you are logged in. You can tell if you are logged in by looking at the looonnnng left side navigation menu. If you are logged, your user name will be at the top of that menu. If you are not logged in, that menu will be labeled "Navigation" at the top. Also, when you are not logged in, you will see the "User Login" box at the top left side of the menus.
  • Logging In: Now, about logging into the website. As a registered user, after you log into the website (providing you do NOT log out when you leave), you will often stay logged for something like a day or even up to several days. The means that if come back to this website within a day or two, you may still be logged into the website, and won't have to log in again for that session.

connecting no-sag springs

I have recently purchased a case of hartco clips. Now, I am looking for the heavy guage cardboard-wrapped wire that is used to connect the no-sag springs to each other. I have heard it referred to as "stabilizer wire", or as
"stake wire". The vinly coated wire that many suppliers sell in it's place never seems to crimp tight enough. I don't have the pneumatic crimper that is made for hartco clips, I "make do" with BW pliers.
