Hi Wayne. OK nothing new in my inbox just original email from you saying forum access to follow. However, logging in now with my user name and password works fine

Just thought you'd like feedback ...no complaints

[AW11 Forever..!]

Hi Andy,

Waynes inundated at the moment, he'll just need to catch up.

Been a really busy but successful launch day!

[waynestoyotamr2]

Just so everyone knows, access will be changed now so users can authenticate themselves.

My input is no longer required - which is probably a good thing!

[AW11 Forever..!]

Wayne, you deserve a long holiday now!

Max welcome on board!

Lets go!!

Wayne, Email did arrive in the end. Your system worked 100%.

Don't worry about reply - think you deserve a rest

[waynestoyotamr2]

Andy - all you have to do now is actually BUY A MK1!!!!!!!!!

See you (and have a pint with you) at the next JAE no doubt!

[waynestoyotamr2]

username and password confirmation emailed in plain text, nice one, very secure.

Just so everyone is aware and is no longer feeling threatened by giving away there password to the MR2 Mk1 Club Forum to some unscrupulous key-logger - this process has now being resolved.

Michael - you havent posted an introduction on there?

Michael - you havent posted an introduction on there?

No, too busy being offended by your PR machine and beta testing your site it seems.

[waynestoyotamr2]

michael, sorry for any offence caused to you.

Please dont get sucked into our PR machine, that would make one hell of a mess!

LOL

Looks good, although i cant figure out how to post a topic in the public section......its probably obvious but i am having one of those evenings!

I think only members are allowed to post, if this is the case it will be a terriible shame

You have to be a member of the forum to post - just like on IMOC?

I am trying to sort things out now, so please bear with me people!

But unlike IMOC you can't post on most of the forums without paying £21 - on IMOC most of the forums are free to unpaid members, and access to the premium members areas only costs around 1/3 of your fee.

Sorry chaps, but I for one won't be joining you on the new site, as it doesn't seem to offer me anything I can't get cheaper elsewhere ( or in many cases for free )

[waynestoyotamr2]

The forum is totally free?

You can sign-up and post on the forum for nothing.

[MartG]

The forum is totally free?

Sorry, but if it's free the wording about it is a bit misleading

"Access to the MR2 Mk1 Club Forum is for Members Only - however, if you are NOT a Member of the MR2 Mk1 Club, you can still post MR2 related questions in the public section."

implies that you have to be a paid up member of the club to post anywhere other than in the 'public' section of the forum ?

[waynestoyotamr2]

Yep - we had a last minute change of heart.

The forum is free to join and post.

[MartG]

Yep - we had a last minute change of heart.

The forum is free to join and post.

OK - in that case my apologies

I do suggest you change the 'Members Only' text to something like 'Registered Users' though

What I dont understand is why you cant view the classifieds? I'm all for letting only members post (like on here), but you are shooting yourself in the foot, its pay £21 and get a very small market to advertise your car, or pay £7.50 on IMOC and have the possibilty of anyone who has internet viewing

[waynestoyotamr2]

You can go onto www.mr2mk1club.com and look at classifieds without being a member?

This always has been the case and always will be the case that you can advertise and purchase a Mk1 through the Mk1 Club - without being a member.

If you personally are having an issue, give me a shout and I will be happy to help.

Obviously I cant comment on other peoples remarks about IMOC but as far as I am aware nothing negative has been said about either club, both have enjoyed a good working relationship down the years?

(I cant see anything, but like you say, things could of been edited)

I was a bit foxed by the registration screen. it seems to be white text on a very light yellow background.. gives the impression the interface is 'locked out' at first.

Only realised stuff actually was being accepted, when I managed to highlight it.. nearly gave up and left. might want a css tweak there?

This is on firefox 3.0.5

[crazylegs]

yep i must admit to being a bit of a numb nuts when it came to logging in. you need to first click on the tiny register button not try and log in as i did. yes i too thought something had gone wrong on the email entry but its all good when you think about it.
worth having a look, you may decide to join or just browse either way its a huge leap forward for the club.

Looks very pretty, I'm sure it'll be great when it's finished.

If you're going to rip off content from a site that wasn't good enough for you, you could at least read it through and remove links to pages which don't exist
