I tried a few times to register but it keeps saying I must specify my age. I keep picking the 18 or over and it still wont go. Any ideas?

When I registered I had no problems. Not sure what's causing your problem.

Looks like they only let those from the "States" in. Might try again with an American address!

Registred today... and I am still thinking that Armorama is the best modeling site, and why making advertising to competitor-site to Armorama, when it's futile to compete with this site?

No competition intended I'm sure.
As a boon, when your signature line for that site contains a link back to here...what may happen?

I am in no way trying to advertise or promote another website but keeping the users of this fine (and the best) modeling site informed of changes and news in the modeling community-which is my job as a news editor here. Since FSM is the mainstream modeling magazine I think it's only appropriate that I keep you guys and gals informed of such things.

I appreciate that Bryan - I registered there too. Why not?!? Great way to spread Armorama Good Will around the Net...

PB, try it again. I also had problems with the site not accepting my my age. Just came back later and got in with no trouble (and without altering my 'puter settings)

Absolutely understood, Bryan. I love FSM (magazine). Always makes my day when I see that sitting in the mailbox. I hope their website can match it.

As for Armorama, there will always and only be just one. Nothing else comes close.

Same here, but yesterday, such a dilemma. ..both Playboy AND FSM arrived at the same time. What to do, what to do?:-[ ] I guess it could have been worse, the Squadron Sale Flyer could have been there, too.

Not a problem for me, AL. I read FSM cover-to-cover. Playboy I just look at the pictures.

I'm glad to see at least some of the Magazines come into the modern world of the web. I'd like to see online subscriptions instead odf the hardcopy we get now. save on mail cost printing cost etc.. Not to mention the land fills in pplaces like where I live in new york.

I registered there too, but I've got to tell you, there isn't enough time in the day/evening to keep up with the three modeling sites that I do frequent. More precious time away from modeling? Na....

I wish them well, butt my arse is staying put right here!

Thanks,

I didn't see too much on the new FSM site that I thought was different than the old one? Maybe it's just me. Most of the the time it is just me... LOL

I'm trying to get in, too. It seems to be loading extremely slowly. Hope that isn't a permanent problem. Right now I am a little cheesed, because they wanted an e-mail address, and I gave them my permanent address...at home. Then they tell me that I'll get a message there to tell me how to finish up. So what?! My butt is in Bosnia, not at home! Now I have to wait until my wife gets around to forwarding the message to me. GRRRR!
