I have tested it with FF 66.0 at this end and can't replicate the issue to diagnose further. Did seem odd. It will be the security patch then. Same sort of thing often happens with patches.

That's like a message over PA system , you can hear it but you can't understand a flippin word . 1 2 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkSG Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hmmm. I don't have any issue with the concept in general, and the digital archive and free show ticket seem to be good selling points. But I'm less keen on the idea of restricting classified adverts to Gold members. The problem with that is that it reduces the value of classifieds to buyers as well as sellers - it will inevitably mean there are fewer items offered for sale than would otherwise be the case. Which means buyers are less likely to use that as their first port of call when looking for something, which in turn means less custom for the sellers. It's a bit of a vicious circle which acts in the opposite way to the dynamics of most successful online sales sites - the important thing is to maximise the numbers of both buyers and sellers. Maybe a better solution to this would be to open classifieds to everyone, but make listings free for Gold members while others have to pay a per-advert listing fee. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2019 Well I think I've joined (they took the money) but as Andy knows I'm having major problems trying to access the BRM digital library. If there areany Mac users there who have squared this particular circle your advice would be much appreciated. thanks. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon, Thanks for that. As I say I think I've joined having filled in and sent the necessary form although I've not yet got the badge so to speak. I then clicked on the link to download the BRM digital library and I repeatedly get a message telling me it is for ios devices only. On Steve; 's advice I've tried it via Firefox instead of Safari but get exactly the same result every time. Running High Sierra Version 10.13.06 and I know that some earlier versions of Mac software did allow ios downloads but it has been blocked (or not enabled?) on more recent versions.

Mike, I just went to the eaxct editions site to sign up, then I cuold view mine on a PC, I am fairly sure that works in Macs as well. I think you only need to download an app if you are using something other than your computer i.e. (iphone or similar). David 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) OK. I'm on 10.14.3 OS Mojave and Safari 12.0.3 so slightly newer software. I received an email from subscriptions@warnersgroup.co.uk and in that was a subscriber number and this link... https://login.exacteditions.com/checkAgency.do?titleId=23246 Clicked on the link and added my subscriber number and postcode and then my email address and password. I left in the space in my postcode after the RG** and the numbers. That brings up this page... Didn't touch the free iOS app and just clicked on 'here' and job done.... The content is brilliant and well worth the gold subscription for the magazine content on it's own. Only negative from me is that it appears you have to enter your details again at login. My Mac enters my email and password, but you have to enter your subscriber number and postcode every time. Maybe, I'm missing something.....

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2019 Thanks very much for that Gordon - looks like I might have not done something right on the registration page as I never got that second page up. I've just gone through it again and this time I got that page - and duly clicked on 'here', and lo and behold I am there. What I've now done is save that page on my Reading List so I can go straight to it although I don't know if it will update with each new issue using that method. Steve is being very helpful and is looking at the question of using the other link with a Mac so some positive marks all round on this one. As a matter of interest I have calculated that once my subscription to the paper version of BRM is cancelled the move to RMweb Gold membership will cost me an extra 3p per annum compared with current expenditure plus a free show ticket so it is a good bargain. I do however hope that this new approach with RMweb doesn't cause too much of an upset with the magazine side of things if other subscribers migrate in this manner. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwardian Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I'm nothing if not awkward .... This initiative appeals to me. The benefits are fair - I doubt I'll have time to read lots of mags, but it'll be helpful to have more message capacity and it might encourage me to have a gallery. the free ticket will be welcome, and encourage me not to say "maybe next year" when some shows come round. So, all good. My main motivation, frankly, is not the benefits but because I feel it gives me an opportunity to support RMWeb, an important part of my daily life. The thing is, would I have to have the shiny gold medallion? You see, I do suffer from Extreme Diffidence Syndrome. I'm the sort of chap who would give money to a flag day, but decline the "look-at-me-I-gave-money-badge". I realise that there are other, better, ways to think about that, like showing support for the Good Cause concerned, but that's just how I am. The exception is the poppy, as wearing that is an act of commemoration, but I digress. Down in the pre-Grouping enclave, they're a bit, well, old fashioned, about things, too. In such company, swaggering around with a gold medallion would feel, well, like swaggering around with a gold medallion. Not all of us can quite carry that off ... 5 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Zero Gravitas Posted April 3, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 3, 2019 Curiously, quarterly direct debit works out cheaper than annual: £12.49 x 4 = £49.96, as opposed to £49.99. You may scoff, but after only 183 years I’ll have saved enough for a “free” copy of BRM (with attached DVD). 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
