Andy Y Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Perhaps making the extra benefits exclusively about N gauge D&E would be a good idea. Well that's you sorted. Will have to ask Stubby's permission first though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 So EVERY "extra" has to be useful to EVERY person who might subscribe? Nailing that list down is going to take a very long time... No, it just has to be useful to me, and me alone. If it benefits anyone else, that is of no concern to me, who is paramount. I should point out that I'm not that selfish, but I can't help thinking a lot of folk will see it that way even if they wouldn't admit it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold queensquare Posted May 21, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 21, 2018 Outstanding! But was that newly register, or log-in (and register new or the same preferences)? I tried to log-in, but it wouldn't take my password (which I do not want to change), so I tried to newly register, but it would not take my email address, saying it was already in use (the address is absolutely unique to me). Flummoxed of France. I had to make up a new password but that wasn't too tricky Jerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris M Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Set your password to “incorrect”. If you get your password wrong your computer will tell you “your password is incorrect” 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Well that's you sorted. Will have to ask Stubby's permission first though. So long as you don't ask the pre-grouping OO groupies - they don't seem to agree on anything. G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2018 This reminds me of sureveys where people give away their password in return for chocolate - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3639679.stm Offer me chocolate for my password and I'll say, "Of course. It's Weetabix". Then I'd go around and next time say, "Of course, it's Marmite." In fact I can invent lots of passwords in return for choccie! If you then want to conclude that people will give you their TRUE password, that's your problem. I have enough trouble remembering the passwords I do use let alone the ones I invent.

RMweb Gold Regularity Posted May 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2018 Thanks for posting. The original offer email was sent to the RMweb email list. To qualify for your free issue of BRM you need to either have, or create an account on World-of-Railways. That will be why your email address and password aren't recognised. I get these free offers for something to which I have already subscribed, too. It's not that you send them out which bothers me, it's the fact that having taken up an offer and become a subscriber, getting an email about new offers I can't take is a waste of your and my time. Can't you de-duplicate the RMweb email list against BRM subscribers? (I shall now discover that I have used two different email addresses, and that it is my own stupid fault! If so, that's fine, but don't send offers trying to attract new subscribers to your existing subscribers.) ...the interesting thing about my email page is that it has a 'delete' button to get rid of what I don't want. Using that isn't really an onerous task but it does get quite heavily used for things I don't even bother to read... Now Mike. We have gone through all this before. Will you stop spouting common sense and reasonable advice? An internet forum is not the place to be sensible... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ruggedpeak Posted May 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2018 The ironic bit is I have a Traction subscription and a Warner's online account set up to get BRM emails and I don't get them for some reason! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromptonnut Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Set your password to “incorrect”. If you get your password wrong your computer will tell you “your password is incorrect” I just set my password to 8 stars. Works every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

truffy Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 It might well be relevant to recall Military Modelling Magazine at this point. The mag has recently closed, taking its forum with it. There is an interesting discussion on a model boat website with more details. Basically, the magazine sales supported the website, but while the later was very active, the mag wasn't selling. The publisher decided to stop throwing money down the drain and both vanished. For good. And yet, PocketMags (and it's print equivalent) will still sell you an annual subscription. Perhaps someone should let them in on the secret? (Or perhaps it's simply access to the back issues for the period of subscription, I don't know how this digital publication stuff works). Pity, I used to pick up MMM on my occasional sojourns to the UK. Hey ho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF51 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 So long as you don't ask the pre-grouping OO groupies - they don't seem to agree on anything. G Not sure about that, think they do agree it's anything prior to 1923, and probably all agree, for diesel fumes and flashy paint schemes, a truck (lorry) stop would be more interesting LOL Regarding the digital mag issue, yes, I do prefer a physical magazine/book, etc.., but being in the US, getting digital issues is much less expensive, and I does not need physical storage. And, regarding the whole 'privacy' issue, anyone who is that worried about it, should not be online, via computer, smart phone, iPad, etc.. (of course, make sure you shred all your paper mail, with addresses, account numbers, etc.., so the trash bin divers don't find them LOL) Jim F Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Street Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Well, will we? As Rick asked:- Will we get 12 for the price of 11? Talk about off-topic (iirc) Andy, You have my sympathy. Keep up the good work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergmann Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Has anyone had the link for the free issue download yet? I accidentally deleted it with a ton of spam before downloading it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Has anyone had the link for the free issue download yet? Yes. Try the 29th of May in your emails as that was when mine arrived. Whilst I appreciate the free magazine I think I'll keep to the printed version. Just not really for me. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
