As a passive member you can only read the forum and its different sections. If you would like to join in, post builds and the such you will need to subscribe to the forum.It‘s not very clear, I tried to create a post and it was in the forum list awaiting approval. Fine. Then today the post has completely disappeared with no explanation, no errors and no warnings.
Cant recall the exact date but the forum has been moving to a pay to use forum for at least two, if not three years. It was announced at the start as a voluntary payment. as 95% said here take my money, it was decided that the last 5% might as well join in and pay as well if they wish to continue using the forum as a contributor.I have been using the forum just for posting and replying to other modellers over the last couple of years. Went to reply to someone this week and a faint grey message has now appeared at the very bottom to say that I have insufficient privileges to reply. Also that I have insufficient privileges to create a post when I go into a subject column. I guess that the forum is a fee paying only forum now for any access to partake in discussion or create a thread, apart from this section to introduce yourself.
This change has not been made very clear unfortunately that it was going to happen. Just found that I have been blocked.
Since the payment system was started, this should appear on the screen when you open the forum in the bottom right of your screen:and a faint grey message has now appeared at the very bottom to say that I have insufficient privileges to reply.
Seconded.As a passive member you can only read the forum and its different sections. If you would like to join in, post builds and the such you will need to subscribe to the forum.
