Tony Cooper Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Each new time I log in and try to look at subscriber content I get the "invite" message until I refresh my suscriber number in my details, its a pain!!Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm getting a similar problem. I already had my subscriber info in my details but when I tried to view the 3D heli event info I got the "Subscriber only" message. I went back to my details, deleted the 8-digit number, saved, pasted the number back, saved - and then I could view the event details. That was this afternoon. Now I've just tried again (not logged out in the meantime) and get the "subscriber only" message again. Methinks there's a little bug there still!

flytilbroke Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Deleted, inserted and saved subscriber number to get it to work. I wonder if this is related to closure of the previous Subscriber Only function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Pollard Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I dont deny I am a dodo with computers but where in gods name is the thing you click on to open "Subscriber content". I have redone my sub number but dont know where to go from there Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 There isnt a dedicated section as such...yet. You will see though that some of the "features" are marked "subscriber content only"Edited By Timbo - Moderator on 22/07/2009 23:41:29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Garry - if you want an example of subs. only content (and the only one I've noticed so far!) click on Events in the menu very near the top of any page. Then near the bottom of the events page click on "Show all events." One of the items you then see (the 3D helis) is marked "subscriber only" - click on that link and you may, or may not, be able to view the event details.

Garry Pollard Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Mmm Found it but even though my sub number is correct and has been reactivated it tells me it is invalid. Just my luck Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Privett Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Simon - yes that works for me too. A bit quicker/easier than removing then re-adding the subs number in My Details! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon barr Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Maybe a timing thing then...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Privett Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 That's what I wondered Simon. I ticked a "keep me logged-on forever" or similar box somewhere on the forum - maybe it doesn't work the same for the rest of the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Ireland Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I have to go to "My Details", click "save" at the bottom of the page and then it works. If I close the browser and re-open, I have to do it all again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Towell Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Didn't this site have a "subscribers only" bit before and it was removed, if my memory is right then it got scraped because it didn't work. so why bring it back? I subscribe so i dont mind but am just curiouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Nobody said it didn't work Dave Subscriber content never went away but we're going to be more pro-active with it going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Towell Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 OK sorry, but it just seemed to vanish about a year ago and I guessed (WRONGLY) that you guys had got rid of it caues it didnt work. Sorry I look forward to some nice juciy Subscribers only hot of the press insider info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 No Dave, it's just that the new site platform that went live in Jan didn't support the concept until more work was complete so I deliberately left it on the back-burner especially with so mnay tweaks and bug-fixes taking priority for a few months there.

So Mr Ashby whats the new juicy insider info us subscribers can look forward too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ashby - Moderator Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 LOL yes that's the one. 'Look forward' ............well as we have been really so - web-only reviews, articles from the mag with updated commentary, one-off web articles etc. News items too. It was originally envisaged when the site was set up some 3 years ago, that it would be a subscriber portal. What I've tried to do over the last 2 years (since at the helm) is to make the site a free and friendly stand-alone info portal for anyone and everyone - it'll continue to be that from a forum perspective but at the same time offering extras for subscribers too via the content sections. There are other enhancements planned naturally but they'll remain under wraps for now.
