When you logged in to the site you probably notice some big changes.

The new features are:
1) More robust profiles;
2) Easier photo galleries;
3) Chat with other members from EVERY page;
4) Better private messaging system;
5) Easier to maintain and more user friendly
....

The list goes on and on!

Sorry for the learning curve that will be necessary for the new system but this should make registration easier, and make all of the communication systems more user friendly and intuitive.

By no means am I complete with the transition but working on this as it is a live site sometimes has its hang-ups.

Please let me know what you think of the new format! The good, the bad, ... send the ugly to BMS :laugh:

Thanks guys! Wish I had a testing server and a whole team of developers to make smooth transitions. The site is always a work in progress.

The 'Facebook Connect' Will allow folks to log in with their facebook username and email address and to also link their Facebook profile to their AR10T.com profile. It will even make it possible to post from AR10T.com to Facebook!

Also the chat feature will make it easy to extend conversations off forum for more information, et al.

Looks great.

I'm an old guy so bear with me. What's so great about Facebook? Everytime I go to Facebook, I find it's boring and I don't get the advantage to using it. Can you explain why Facebook is a good thing?

While I'm in at it, could you also explain the advantage to Twitter?

All this newfangled computer stuff seems unnecessary to me. Hope you can shed some light on their advantages and disadvantages.

Thanks, Jer

Thanks for the questions I hope I can shed some light on them.

Facebook - great for keeping groups of people in touch with each other. For this site it makes it easy for someone with a Facebook account to create an account by logging in with their Facebook username and password. It will automatically create an account for them here and update info between both sites.

Twitter - twitter is good for staying informed about something you like or for keeping a 'following' of people informed. For example, Uncle ArmaLite keeps a Twitter account for ArmaLite where you can find the latest information about items in stock or new items. A gun dealer would find that beneficial because they would be able to get stock information without calling ArmaLite every day.

Thanks for posting!

Thanks. I still find Facebook cumbersome and can't understand why anyone would want a bunch of strangers to know intimate details about you and who you associate with. I guess I'm just old school and like my privacy.
