Packard Forum Index » General

I've turned the setting back a bit as it was false triggering on too many users.

Installed new security firewall. Over the last 3 days, it blocked 1.47 million malicious requests.

Annnnnnnd, it’s back…

I don’t think I have the same IP address all the time under VPN, but I’ll start tracking to see if I can get added to the “Good” list.

10.8 million requests blocked over the last 7 days.

The "guests" count is slowly trending down as more are blocked.

I tried to open the Paint Schemes PDF for 1956 Packard and Clipper but it asked for a login and password. I'm fairly sure I've opened it before so not sure of the issue now.

Opens fine for me with no password prompt.

Yes, it opens on my mobile devices but not on my Windows 11 laptop. My main PC at home is Ubuntu Linux and I believe it opens there too but I’m not home at the moment so can’t double-check. Oddly, other chapters in the same book open fine on the laptop but not that one.

I've added a couple of Pre-War Parts Books that were not in the Factory Parts List database, and reprocessed a couple of the ones already in there. The new AI OCR software I developed for the company I work for does a superior job with OCRing text from a page, especially degraded pages. So much so that it reads the handwritten notes people have written in the margins.

The earlier books do not use the group numbers, and the applicable models are not in a format that is very conducive to reading into the database. But it will, at least, contain way more of the part numbers than it ever did before, with far fewer OCR typos.

The newly added ones are:

- 1937-1939 Super Eight & Twelve
- 1935-1937 Junior

Nice work Kev...Ernie in Arizona

Kevin,

I'm not sure if something has changed or if I am misremembering. Picture this scenario:
- I need to look up the part number for a part on an older car that is also on a V8 car, I don't know the part number or group offhand for either, but I know the name.
- Because the groups will cross reference to equivalent parts, it's easy for me to search by name then click the group number and see everything in that group.
- However when I do that, it filters the results to only be parts book in question. For example only the V8 usage. I have to type the group number in the search box to find the group manually.



Of course this is visible in the hyperlink generated:
https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/partslist/groupparts.php?SearchValue=12.018&partslist=1955-1956&GRPNAME=PINION-DIFFERENTIAL%20(SIDE%20GEAR)&ButtonLookup=Go

Whereas if I click the part number hyperlink, it shows all listings for that part number. 😃👍

Could we have it where clicking the group number shows you all the groups by default?
