I think you misunderstood what he was saying...

There are actually a number of private forums on this web site.  Some belong to teams, some belong to groups.  Whether you can see the private forum(s) is dependant upon team memberships and AirsoftArizona membership.

For example, SWAIRTAC has two forums here.  One is public - everyone can see it and one is private - only SWAIRTAC team members can see it.  SWAIRTAC has a team leader and he controls access to their private forum.

I have also added an "AirsoftArizona Members" forum that's invisible to all unless you're in the "AirsoftArizona" members group.  The group is for those who are paid AA members.  To join, you have to be a paid AA member and then request membership by clicking on the "Teams/Groups" link above (top righthand corner) and request to be added to the group.  Membership requests are verified against the current AA member database and then approved.

Anyone can request that a team forum (private or public) be set up, as has always been the case.   [smilie=armata_pdt_01.gif]

Added a quick reply, nice.

I did reply earlier, but it didnt post.  I had gotten an email notification of a PM.  I was unable to access the PM from the new forum.

Dunno...  you're the first to say it doesn't work.  I've sent and received several PM's using 3 different accounts, and from other users...

i'm not sure of this was posted, but you might want to make airsoftarizona.com link to this forum, instead of the old, which it currently links to when you click "click here for remainder of site content" or something like that.

Ok, sounds good! [smilie=armata_pdt_01.gif]  I was just afraid that I would lose some of my freedom on this forum just because I can't play AA games. I don't have an AEG or a vest and I'm a minor. I wouldn't answer a question that I didn't know the answer to.

Mr. Joseph, there's a "view new topics since last visit" link that's similar to active topics in the old forums.  It's on the upper right hand area.



I cannot for the life of me find this button. Anyone else having problems not seeing the button?

Delta, this button is on the main page.  Click on the Airsoft Arizona logo.  Then look to the right side of the page.  Look below the calender,  There are three links there that say....

View posts since last visit
View your posts
View unanswered posts

Right now you can only find those links on the main AA page.  Once you go to another page you would have to click on the AA banner to get back to it.  

Hope this helps

I like the snow on the AA Logo!  

I keep getting email messages for every topic that I visit.  Its the subscription email that notifies you if someone posted in that topic.  But I never click on the button marked "Watch this topic for replies".  But I still get these messages, so I have to unsubsribe from each of those topics to stop getting them.
