Which reminds me,my membership renewal is overdue.

[The Red Baron]

mine is taken every 1st july so i dont have to worry. never had a prob with Abs tbh.

Tbh,Im close  enough to go and get my parts from Andyc,so not renewing is an option.The forum is pretty quiet and mostly LC based these days.

Got a slightly mixed review on this one,but think it's worth a punt just for the benefits already mentioned,but moreover I'm looking to find somewhere with more meets,social events etc. But as I'm typing this and reading the incoming comments I'm thinking that if it's going to be all about LC's then second thoughts may be in order here

This is meant in the best possible way, but isn't part of this our fault for not posting Omega related issues. In fairness, most of us probably don't bother as we get an answer quicker on here and don't really feel comfortable butting in on the predominantly LC/Senator talk.

Also, OOF is like a 'live' forum.

Every DIYer on here should have one for the parts benefit alone.

imo of course

You may be right.Im not trying to knock them in any way ,its a good club,but the forum side of it doesnt really grab my interest. It may be at least partially that Im not that into spending that much time on forums these days.

I guess on balance it's worth a punt for a year and let's take it from there

[feeutfo]

I joined for tc access, and for no other reason what so ever. It's worth 25 sobs for tc alone.

I later tried to join the forum, as i was bored, followed the on line prompts, not allowed to join as the tc username and password on my card was not mentioned in the sign up process at the time. So there for, not surprisingly, if it doesn't ask, it doesn't get. Member lost, no skin of my nose tbh.

IMO if a site can't sort it's sign up process correctly then its not worth the bother.

In fact it still doesn't ask you to enter the correct details, and implys using your own made up details.Stuff em.

No idea where, but it says in the sign up details that you use the user name they give you ie 1234 Chris Bloggs and a password that you then change as suits! I managed quite successfully to join, so it can't be difficult!

[feeutfo]

You haven't clicked the "agree terms" button P, have you.

And that would have been on the old site, yes?

[feeutfo]

Come on Mr technologist, where does it say to enter your tc card details? Hmm?

[feeutfo]

If memory serves me correctly, you have to request to join the forum and you are then notified of your user-name and password by the Admins as Andy said. It is not an instant thing but should be sorted within a day or two.

Anyone who doesn't hear back is obviously viewed as undesirable.

That's just the boilerplate forum signup message. With your membership pack you should have got a note that gave you your forum login details, IIRC. I just used the username and password supplied and it worked.

Would be good if they changed the forum message to reflect this, in fairness, since if your username doesn't match the one created for you, you've got a snowball's chance in hell of getting in.

Having said that, I think my subscription has lapsed.
