• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

    Field of Armor - nil joy

    G'day all, I posted a while back a long-standing issue I had with Field of Armor, namely that some products I'd paid for way back in 2020 (namely Flak 36/37 trailers, 88mm tank shells and a modification kit for a Panzer IIB to turn into an 'F' model) still have not arrived nor have the owners...

    Fields of Armor - LOCSTAT

    G'day all, Not too sure if anyone can help or whether this is the right discussion area to ask but does anyone have a contact for Fields of Armor - the U.S.-based fine makers of tanks, parts and such? Reason being is that I've got two orders long-outstanding and I know they've recently had a...
