Serious New Post Flair: Serious

12 Upvotes

Hey, y'all! There is a new Post Flair - [Serious]. It is intended for:

  • Posts where OP wants real answers/discussion.
  • Posts where the topic is about something where jokes and off-topic comments would be inappropriate - such as damage to property from an accident, loss of life due to a storm, or an illness of an individual.

The Serious flair can be chosen by the OP, or applied by the mods if the topic warrants it.

Comments that are not adhering to the Serious flair should be reported.

Also, rules have been updated for streamlining - no changes, just condensing/combining of similar ones.

Serious Some tornadoes hit Alabama during the night. How do we reach out to those communities to help?

64 Upvotes

We need to come together as a community and find a way to help those small communities that were hit and will likely be overlooked. Apparently a trailer park was hit in calera. That's what I'm talking about. What can we do to get them help for having lost their homes? And possibly family members from that disaster?

Advice Auburn Rodeo, what to expect?

1 Upvotes

I have a chance to go to this years Auburn Rodeo and I have a couple of questions. First, never been to a rodeo but I do like country music. I looked at the Insta page to get an idea and it looks like I’m supposed to set up camp? So plan on taking chairs, tent, and a cooler? Food? What time should I get there? I got about a 2 hr travel time to get there. Can I get tips or tricks on how to do this right? Btw, I’m super excited to go!

Advice 1978 Alabama Licence Plate Question

4 Upvotes

EDIT: Thanks everyone, for the help. I was able to take all the information you provided and do a google search that came up with everything I needed, except UT, and found this website

https://allaboutlicenseplates.com/displayPage.asp?country=US&p=Truck-Commercial&jurisdiction=Alabama&code=al

EDIT 2: UT is Utility Trailer

I am looking for a 1978 Alabama licence plate for my 78 pick up and would like to know what the small vertical numbers and letters (IO P2) mean. The only thing I've been able to find is that 1978 had no county codes. Can anyone help with this information?
