Why would it just disappear? It's backed up normally daily. I've been running these sites for over 20 years now and before I retire (which is a long way out) I plan to pass it on to someone who is willing and clearly able to take the reins. I would plan that out at least a year in advance and...

Hi Andrew, that I have to do manually as the password system is old and needs to be updated. Send me an eMail and we can discuss, it's easy for me to do.

Once again my email in box is full of marked as offensive warning emails. So now hear this... When it comes to the public forums from here on out I do not want you John (gottahaveahoove) to respond to anything that Reggie says (ultralux88) and Reggie the same goes for you, I do not want you...

Yes I just deleted the address, that is not something to post in the public forums. Thank you all for alerting me.

Unfortunately since last March some algorithm in several newer browsers had started to attempt determine the proper orientation of an uploaded photograph by using the EXIF data embedded into the image and then screws up display of photos on various web sites. Websites now have to code photo...

Nothing to worry about, they do server upgrades and patches in the middle of the night occasionally. They don't usually last more than an hour and during that time you can see odd error messages.

I found this... https://books.google.com/books?id=OG0_DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA131&lpg=PA131&dq=abingdon+king+dick+vacuum+cleaner&source=bl&ots=3L64645z-l&sig=ACfU3U0c6L7Hy7V14Mpdf6j5wbrzAN0ToQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj9orTD2-voAhWGaM0KHf_uDB0Q6AEwAXoECAwQKQ#v=onepage&q=abingdon%20ki

That's odd, although it appears you have successfully logged in as you are posting this. Can you send me the URL (full web address) of the screen you are seeing a 404 error on?

Please guys no need to get nasty with each other, Alex what you said about "living in a actual city" was totally out of line and uncalled for. Please we're all under a lot of stress right now with this disaster and the last thing we need any of that here. Be nice please, it's more important...

May I ask why these post are being marked as offensive? I realized there are differences of opinion when it comes to technical data and personal experiences. I don't see any profanity, nudity or other things that I would consider truly offensive in this thread. I do hate continual brand...

I have to say as webmaster of Vacuumland, I have attended the VCCC conventions in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, we hosted 2012 here in Minneapolis and 2013. I have never seen any of the kind of behavior that was described at these conventions. It's just astounding that anyone pays any...

I just saw your email John, long day today. I'll be in touch with you as soon as I can.

If you're an upgraded member and logged in you wont get any ads on the site what so ever, however once you have logged out there will be no way for the system to know whether your an upgraded member or not, so to keep all ads off simply log-in.

I think this is perfectly fine if the VCCC wants to announce their club information on Vacuumland. I'm sure the majority of readers of Vacuumland will ignore most of the VCCC announcement threads if they are not a member of the VCCC. Others may decide to join the VCCC as well if they wish to...

A big thank you goes out to Bill Wood who was kind enough to lend me two vacuum cleaner owner's manuals. They are scanned and live on Automatic Ephemera now if anyone would like a copy. #1 Eureka Eureka 2300 Series Upright Vacuum Cleaner Owners Guide (from about 1977). #2 Kenmore Ken-Kart...

I'll put in a help desk ticket with the ISP and see if they noticed anything odd with the DNS setup of Vacuumland. Hopefully this will resolve this within a few days.

No issues here either with reaching the site. The system is designed MadMan to only keep you logged in for one week, then it automatically logs-out the user.

is very specific with certain models there. its from 1973. Thanks Will! I'll update the listing on AE.

Hi everyone, I was recently given a comprehensive parts catalog for Hoover to add to the Ephemera Library. I'm guessing this catalog is from sometime in the late 80's by the design style and font, but maybe you guys might be able to give me a more accurate date by looking at the model numbers...

The Sears at the Mall of America here closed this year. The thing is that mall is kind of a destination always packed with locals and visitors from all over the country and world. The place is always crowded. However when ever I went into Sears it was always nearly empty, so sad to see. I...
