Membership?

Hi,

I have applied and paid for membership (online via paypal) a couple of weeks or so ago. However, I can't access the member link information (eg faults and fixes) and get the 'you have no access/permission etc. I assume my membership is yet to be processed? I know the membership fee has been debited so the transaction has gone through. I have sent a couple of emails but not heard anything back. Can anyone advise.

My 83 Bertone 1500 has quite a few faults and niggles I would love to get sorted from poor dipped lights, slow wipers to poor hot starting (to name a few). So I am guessing the faults and fixes section in particular will prove very useful.

Thanks

James

I joined in March and have the same problem. Could someone sort this out for me please.

Many thanks

maybe the forum needs to be 100% open to all ?

Hi both- Terry grants the access after Rob processes the orders. I'm suprised that you haven't been able to get on. I'll ring Terry now to sort it. Apologies

Will sort it out later on tonight....

Or the site should be closed to everybody unless paid members

with it being open helps the club get more exposure,word of mouth is so powerful it can make or break a club,most car club forums are 100% free and it gives a very good impression, a warm feeling

That opens a bigger can of worms, no mag no fees etc

others seem to survive

i actually just had a look on the mr2 mk1 club forum and non paying members are not allowed to view faults and fixes either but their membership is only £10 per year and here's the benefits etc

Apologies to those that are waiting for access. I will update the DB tonight and tomorrow. So if you can't get in using your name as a login then please use your membership number.

Membership updates done. Let me know if there are any problems.

Hi Terry, I too have been having problems accessing the faults and fixes forum. Unfortunately it's still saying 'access denied' for me.

Terry & Rob, many thanks, it's working fine now.

Much appreciated
