Vs The new "full site" 
The mobile site is much cleaner visually, bigger text which really helps me read without having to zoom in on my phone  and navigation is super fast now. Honestly they knocked it out of the park to me. It only gets better using my iPad at home.

Beta mobile site works well. I prefer the old full site on my Note 4, but the new full site doesn't reflow on Chrome on my N4, so mobile it is...at least for now.
Of course, the new site is not static. Improvements and bug fixes are being made daily...and improvements will continue to come after it goes live. Some great ideas are in the suggestion bin.

We are pushing release until after Thanksgiving + Black Friday since we don't want to be scrambling if things go sideways or blow up. 
So look for the release to hit next week. We have continued to work on bugs, additions, and finishing things up. We realize that when it goes live, there will be more folks with potential issues they are finding as well as requests. So please keep in mind that all of these updates to the site are never final and that we will continue to tweak things as needed. Patience is key for everyone! Usually I get abused when a new version comes out, so relax this time around and try to be nice.

I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I am responsible for everything I do.
| I was going to suggest making your example photos in the initial description able to be clicked and enlarged ( can barely see them on this 17") but since you're this close to the release it probably wouldn't make much difference. Anywho, hope it goes well for y'all that have to deal with it on the tech side!! |

That said, many core features exclusive to members now will remain and will still be exclusive to members...and there may be more of those. While the site has been rewritten, it will not look drastically different. You will still know you are at ARFCOM. There are many look and feel changes, but you will recognize where you are. Most of us don't like change, but I am sure we'd rather be on the current site instead of a 1990ish text-based forum, so progress is a good thing. There may be hiccups at the initial release, but they will be resolved over time. The good news is that this is just not a product drop. GB didn't just grab some product that can only be lightly customized and skinned. ARFCOM will continue to be one of the few forums that is largely custom. Thus, things that don't work out can be refined or replaced as time goes on. GB has been working pretty hard on this, so try to give him a break when it goes live. He's definitely getting more than his share of rocks thrown at him from beta testers.

Does the new Arfcom have the capability for you to get an email notification when someone sends you a PM? That's a feature of every other forum I've been a member of and lack of that here is annoying.
