I’m sure I’ve read Gold kills the annoying pop up videos? I’m seriously thinking about Gold for that alone. I have a digital membership is that upgradable to Gold? Like I already pay 20 odd quid could that be knocked off a Gold membership? cheers all. Yes, Gold removes the Google Ads. What is your existing digital description? Pocketmags or other? If so it wouldn't be possible to offset one against Gold as Pocketmags is an external account. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do access it through Pocketmags app. I didn’t realise when I signed up it was not warners. One to chew over then. Like spending best part of £100 to be rid of the ads may be a bit much. Assuming what I’ve read above it’s £70.00 for Gold. Cheers for the reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still trying to get a lower cost ad-free option sorted which would do what you need. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JCL Posted November 9, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hi there, I've been subscribing to the mag using Pocketmags since 2012, and I've finally remembered this year not to renew so I can take advantage of WOR+. Although I've read through this topic, I've a few questions before I signup. Until now, I've read all my mags on my iPad using the Pocketmags app. I know I'll not be using that app gonig forward but after 10 years, I'm v used to its ease of use. Will I be reading them using a browser if I sign up via WOR+? If so , is the look and feel comparable (or better?) ? I live on the West coast of Canada, so the chances of me getting to a show would be practically zero. Can I transfer the free ticket to a friend? Am I right in assuming I'll need to create a WOR account. For it to tie in with RMWeb, do I just use the same email address as I do here? I don't want to muck things up while setting everything up. cheers Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so , is the look and feel comparable (or better?) ? It will be via the browser, I'm not an iPad user so I can't give a comparative opinion but I regularly use the Exact Editions (WoR+) on an Android tablet easily but there again I've got nothing to compare it against. 2 hours ago, JCL said: Can I transfer the free ticket to a friend? I'm sure we can work that out somehow. 2 hours ago, JCL said: Am I right in assuming I'll need to create a WOR account. For it to tie in with RMWeb, do I just use the same email address as I do here? It's best to use the same email address but there is an integration script which can tie things up whichever address you use. http://www.rmweb.uk/rmweb-integration.php WoR+ will give additional access to: BRM - back to Jan 2007 so that's an extra five years before your Pocketmags subs Garden Rail - 193 previous issues - January 2006 to now Traction - 91 previous issues - January 2010 to now Narrow Gauge World - 129 previous issues - January 2006 to now Engineering in Miniature - 216 previous issues - January 2005 to now Plus the Gold access here for Classifieds etc if ever needed. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JCL Posted November 9, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hi Andy, You'll be pleased to know I'm already sold on the benefits ;) - just making sure I set it up correctly. Will set it up tomorrow. Thanks for your help! Jason 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium AdeMoore Posted November 9, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 9, 2022 Mine just auto renewed! I’ve turned it of now which you can’t on the app it appears. Useful for anyone else. I enquired how to do it. email received pasted below. Hi Adrian, Thank you for your email! To stop your Pocketmags online auto-renewable subscription from renewing, please login to www.pocketmags.com, navigate to ‘My Pocketmags’ > ‘My Subscriptions’, and then click ‘Cancel’ next to the relevant item. If an item displays ‘Renew Subscription’, auto-renewal is already disabled for that magazine. Warm Regards, John Pocketmags Customer Service Help@pocketmags.com There is an option to turn off ads now for £12.00 a year I believe, but I’m yet to do it due to disposable income on hold this winter! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold JamFjord Posted February 13, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 13, 2023 I didn't really get what WOR Plus was about when I signed up to the free trial last year, so I didn't really make use of it... had a poke around the layouts, watched a few of the videos, then let it lapse. However, sometime after the trial ended, this video popped up in my YouTube feed: Five digital magazine subscriptions in one, that search feature is a gamechanger, and now I've stopped lurking on RMweb and started posting, it's a no brainer for me now. Plus the free ticket - that's two months covered on its own. It's gone from me not really understanding why on earth I'd sign up for another subscription to it being the one I feel I'm getting the most value out of. Amazing what a short explanation can do, eh? 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMS Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) How can I subscribe to World of Railways Plus and to ad-free browsing of RM Web, please in one simple statement? I see it is possible, and I've browsed this forum, but I've given up each time I try to do it. The key problems are: 1. It seems impossible to put both the WoR and the ad-free browsing in the basket, doubling the complex process. Some basket that can only hold one item! 2. Although I'm logged in to start with, I have to sign in again to buy one of the subs and it doesn't work. I either get an invalid/ not recognized message or an infinite Please Wait. It doesn't help that I can't display the contents of the password box. 3. I already use both Exact Editions for the Railway Modeller & its archive. And I subscribe to several mags in PocketMags, which is a breeze to use. BUT I understand that with PocketMags I'd lose out on much of the BRM archive and have to subscribe separately for other mags (Narrow Gauge World is in fact the only one in the offer that interests me). Is that right? Advice gratefully received. Realism is great, but replication of the nightmare of online train ticket buying is something I could do without!

RMweb Gold Donw Posted January 13 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 13 It was quite a while ago but I had to subscribe to World of Railways first then I think Andy York had to amend my RMWeb membership to Gold. That was because I wanted to retain all the links and threads I already had. Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMS Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Thanks for the reply, Donw, but I cut to the chase and simply added BRM to my PocketMags subscription at just under £50pa. Works well, I do get back numbers free at least back to 2020 but generally not the special issues or WOR issues. I get it on my Android phone in the same sub as on this iPad too. Railway Modeller on Exact Editions is great on the iPad, right back to the start in the 1940s, well scanned, with comprehensive index based on good OCR. I'll forget WOR and grudgingly put up with the intrusive adverts on RMweb. Edited January 14 by IMS Correction to last sentence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
