I am a subscriber but when I try to view anything i.e. the turbotrain video I’m blocked out. Any help out there?

Cheers Ray

Send a note to MR - they will take care of it…

Did you fill out your user profile and check the boxes indicating your subscription status? If you didn’t do this, that’s probably why you’re locked out. I think Kalmbach’s software can verify whether or not you are a subscriber, but you much check off one of the boxes in your user profile so the software has something to verify.

I find it interesting that there are many sections on the home page that you can only view as a subscriber, i.e. have a subscription to MR, but are excluded if you purchase a monthly copy and help support your local hobby shop.

They seem to be the same end result to me, buying MR but penalised if you don’t get a subscription.

Magazines love registered subscribers, because their advertising rates are tied to the number of confirmed subscribers.

I recently was offered a subscription to a sailing magazine for the “preferred rate” of only $5.95 for a year. It is regularly $49.95. The more subscribers they have, the more they can charge for the ads!
