Hey Jim!
Great changes, at first glance I felt some strange, but now I´m getting used to that.
It seens to be faster to load with my connection...
Keep up the good work!

Well, my first thought was:
Quoted Text

Oh dude! That's cool!!! :-) :-) :-)


The design is a bit cleaner, easier to read, brighter, yet it's still ArmoramA... I love it!!!!!
It's just... cool!!! Sharp, flashy, simple. More features packed into less space.

Long live Armorama.com v.2.0!!!!

Thanks Jim!!! Great work!!!!!!!!!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

YodaMan - Impressed, I am

Thanks Guys! I appriciate all the positive feedback.

Now if I can just get the theme (FOCUS) selection working for people who aren't logged in... I'll be a sane individual again.

I have restored the theme selection so you can make that choice if you'd like.

Looks good, but 2 complaints:
1. No Homer sound when I entered the site and had messages waiting.
2. Can't access "Latest Posts" link directly from the home page (always my 1st stop).

Rob,
I will try to fix Homer. He's probably off lazing around back.

You can still access Latest Posts from the homepage. The link is to the left of the listed topics on the homepage (left of Discussions).

Cheers,
Jim

OK thanks, I also like the featured album link for my motorpool. It will make my accessing it to upload photos much easier.
