Hi. Thanks for becoming a member. At the moment there are no plans to extend past 2007. Older issues aren't stored digitally so we'd need to physically scan every page of every magazine. A huge job and one I wouldn't wish upon anyone. ha ha 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not noticed that it has been mentioned anywhere as yet. It's really somewhere that members can ask questions about their membership, the magazine, the website, shows etc within an area that won't get busy with posts from non-members. The same moderation rules will apply. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said the £60 to Pocketmags gives me ‘ownership’ for a one off payment whereas if I understand correctly I will only ever be renting through Gold. Personally as I most often use an iPad for magazine browsing I find Pocketmags a better platform than Exacteditions Yes, you're correct. The Gold membership means you only rent the magazines, unlike Pocketmags whereby you own them and these issues include extra images, extra video etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any plans to allow this? (Bronze level ??) No plans at the moment but we will constantly be looking at ways of improving the Gold Membership by adding new benefits. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I get frustrated if I put a first class stamp on a card, and find that it arrived within the same number of hours/days as ones with a second class stamp on. In fact, I have given up sending anything first class for this reason. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there's an obvious link on the front cover of each magazine.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hmm, a bit late to the party - which does seem to have become rather crowded so I can't be bothered to look at it all as there seems to be a lot of negativity around. We have benefitted from a free BRM ever since warners took it on and relieved Andy of major worries about how to keep the site going and and equally relieved those members who helped out with donations to help pay the bills. I still look forward to one day finding a free lunch but they aren't very common and it's no real surprise to me that some financial assistance would be useful to keeping this site going. So equally no surprise that this has emerged. So as ever the real question is what will it do for me? Well I'm not entirely sure how much 'free' access it would give me to current issues of BRM but that might well save a sub and an awful lot of shelfspace - - an interesting one that. But what about the rest - well i go to one Warners show a year so box ticked; I tend to use my PM space as a long term reference so another box ticked; I need to do some pruning of books and possibly some model railway stuff and have been wondering about a suitable route to do so - another box ticked; huge images might help, not so sure about that but perhaps occasionally useful; dunno about a private image gallery - how secure is 'private'?; and no so sure to what extent I'd use the Gold forum but I can think of a couple of areas where it might be useful. What is missing is a glod trypo chucker but that would be asking for the moon of course (would it?) And all that for less than a quid a week (depending on how one pays) - what else can you buy for that? Yes, so I'll be signing up once a couple of other little jobs are out of the way this week. 8 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeBor Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Not for me. No benefits for me. I can see how it might benefit others. As for the Classifieds I can sell and advertise for free on FB if or when I need to. Also I don’t read BRM & I don’t want to. Not being negative just stating a fact.

Imagine the joy of waking up to Andy Y standing at the bottom of your bed explaining the difference between steam boilers in Class 47 locomotives. Can there be a better start to the day?

RMweb will work just as well as it did ten minutes earlier, and it will continue to do so. You'll find the same people, the same modelling, the same bad jokes and the same whinges. Guess that's why no GOLD MEMBER logo/medallion appears on the posts of Phil Parker, Steve Cole and Andy Y ~ they haven't bought into it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
