Martin S-C Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Andy - would it be possible to turn off/disable the gold medallion and any other indicators of gold membership on the site (except toadmins) if a member wanted to financially support the site, gain GM benefits but not stand out in any way? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Ray H Posted April 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 4, 2019 Just signed up via a very nice young lady who took my details. Conveniently the April 2019 issue of BRM was the last on my Pocketmags subscription. I've even managed to get almost immediate access to the back number library and my Android tablet. I already have Railway Modeller through Exact Editions and tried to see if I could access the downloaded issues without Internet access. This is especially beneficial when spending consecutive days at sea on a cruising holiday. The two downloaded issues that I tried to read opened without a problem. That said, I've just tried to download an 2007 issue of BRM and whilst I can read it through my home Internet connection, I don't seem to be able to download it to read later. I keep getting the message "Permission Not Granted". This may be because my subscription is only a few minutes old so I'll give it time and try again.

woodenhead Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 It's rather sad that BRM do something to give people a new way to access it's materials and then, because some people perceive it to be in some way elitist, those members who wish to take up the offer then have to ask Andy that their membership is hidden. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to say the room's views were spectacularly good (as far as exhibitors' rooms go).

It's a PDF file on your computer, so clearly you can keep it for ever. Not very convenient if you want to keep a full copy of an issue, but most folks just want to keep a few specific articles. cheers, Martin. Running short of storage space I took a year of old magazines off the shelf recently. I went through them and found an average of one article per issue that I wanted to keep for future reference so I don't think I would have a problem saving the pages I wanted. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked online at the BRM site and I can’t see how to cancel my quarterly print subscription. Is that possible to do when calling for Gold or do I need to make a separate call to someone else?

Wander the streets of Stafford and it won't be long until a local offers to show you something you didn't want to see. WRT the sensible question, the subs office can take care of that for you over the 'phone at the same time. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ryde-on-time Posted April 4, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4, 2019 Goods to see plenty have signed up One though that has occurred to me is whether you could offer access to the digital copies of Garden Railway or Narrow Gauge World magazine instead of BRM. RMWeb has sections for both those topics so they might be more relevant to some and attract addition people to sign up? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
