It was decided (correctly in my option) to only let fully paid members access to all the site, as one of the benefits of club membership
Can see your point about being a shame though,, that this decision by committee may exclude some of the more "G4 knolegable " (like yourself :w00t:) Forum members posting useful information, that am sure would benefit all !! Regards Tim
Just got your e-mail, certainly did not see one previously,,!!
expect one in return, in 2 ticks, with my details etc Regards Tim
Tim: in your case i've just resent the email as presumably it didin't get there in the first place.
Jeremy - we don't have your email address on the membership records. If you can email/pm me with your email address and membership number or full name then i can add you to the right group
At present the full forum is still visible to all users because when we previously started the process of closing it to members only we got a large number of complaints which caused us to put the project on hold for a few months. At the recent meeting one of the big issues raised was that the forum should be a benefit of being in the club, not open to all.
Therefore the plan is:
1) Email everyone who we have an email address for from the membership records to ask for forum names so we can then change their forum group to "Club Member". This is now done (over a week ago), i'm just waiting another day or so to make sure i get as many replies as possible.
2) Message everyone else saying that if they are a club member to email me with their forum names so i can add them to the right group
3) Close the "club only" sections of the forum, and add messages to the other areas explaining why they can't see the main section and encouraging people to either send me their details if they have already joined, or join up if they haven't.
So there, in a nutshell, is whats going on :D Peter Jarrett, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------G4 Discovery II V8 from South Africa 2003 Challenge.

I've emailed all club members and asked them to let me know their Forum names and as the emails come in i'm changing their membership groups over.
mmm, That was going to be Question 2 :w00t:
Ive not see any mail either, ??
So if i am not a paid up member, how do i have full forum access, I thought forum members only have access to the public pages ??
Surely their must be a better system, cause this one, is not working, Think i was the 2nd member to join outside committee members, back in march, and a paid up "club member" since August,ish Regards Tim
Have you?! I must have missed that then!! I'm a paid up member!
