I've just setup a new group for those with an interest in Robust lathes and equipment - a place to share information, techniques or just ask a question of those who currently turn 'Robustly'. It is a public group - open to owners, users and those who just want some information on this fine line of turning equipment.

Look under the Community pull-down menu above to access all groups within the forum. It's a great new feature and a way to connect with other users.

a couple of people have contacted me about how to access groups - just go to the pull down menu under 'Community' in the dark blue nav bar below the lighter blue main nav bar above. See attached for visual...

FYI, you can only see the Community button if you are logged in as an AAW member.

A forum member -- it is not necessary to be an AAW member. I logged in yesterday and posted in the Robust group before getting my new password and username set up to log into the AAW main site.

Follow up: I just wanted to make sure that I was telling the truth so using Firefox I logged out of the AAW main site and closed the browser. Then I opened Firefox and went to the AAW main page -- it showed that I was not logged in. Next, I went to the forum where I am automatically logged in and I could see the Community link. Next, I tried Internet Explorer and I could not see the Community button. I discovered that I was not logged into the forum onInternet Explorer so I logged in and voila, the Community button is now there.

Looks like the new 'security system' is taking over - I was all setup with new u.n. and pw, but now it seems like one of us has forgotten...technology running rampant.
