Member postings for Darren H

Right, video editing finished and you can forget everything I posted at 08:08:07. Having read your and Jason's exchange, I now realise that I need to select the required publication from the two archive options before logging in.. This then works entirely as it should. (I only subscribe to MEW and not ME.)

Sorry to have led you on a wild goose chase!

Off to find get a slice of humble pie to have with my afternoon cuppa!

Clicking "digital" on the black bar works for me as does magazines. BUT they open up a separate login page and then when you log in opens the current issue in the viewer so you need to click the three bars top right to select archive.

At the moment the "digital" route takes me to ME only and "Magazines" gives me the option of ME or MEW

Previously the usual route was "magazines" then select ME or MEW and then that archive would open. I suspect as the archive is on classicmags and the forum on ME.co.uk there is the need for the second login.

That's a vast improvement in archive access. Thanks. However, the link through the DIGITAL button doesn't work for me, it just takes me to the digital reader access page and when trying to log in, simply loops back to the same page. I have to access the back issues through the MAGAZINES button, as before. Not a problem, as long as you know about it.

I accessed issue one this way and noticed the "print" quality was still on the fuzzy side, so presumably the conversion of the copies to HTML has yet to be completed?

If you follow what it says below the filename you can call it what you like and specify where it gets saves. The right click drop down actually says "save link as " on my W10 machine.

I am sure it is no easy task to transfer data from other sources and possibly in another format into an existing system.

However why close down the working system before proving the transfer of data was successful and the new system is working correctly ?

"I also accessed a 2010 edition of MEW also with no problems. I have a print subscription."

Neil/Darren is there something wrong there Archive was for those with digital or print plus ?

Yes it is being worked on, it means generating LOTS of new issues but the new reader works about ten times faster than the old one and lets you customise and download PDFs at last!

The email service on the forum is not working for me. I can send an email to a forum member, but looking in the sent box, the message doesn't appear.

May be this problem, in which Android devices before version 7.1.1 have trouble with new certificates issued by a new certificate authority, notably "Let's Encrypt".

After change of ownership and being moved to a new server, the forum is now authenticated by a new Let's Encrypt security certificate. As David also has an old version of Android, the planets are aligned, and he's having bad luck! Could be a coincidence, but...

There is a workaround. It is to change the phones' Browser to Firefox Mobile. Seems that Firefox keeps it's own copy of the certificate and doesn't use the wonky certificate checks provided by pre-7.1.1 Android.

Anyone else not been getting e-mail notifications of private messages?

Back and secure again. Just checked the conection on here and the padlock is back. It dosn't show what has gone wrong again. Have the web provider changed anything.

Login now instantaneous.

The Magazines section is not working for me. I provide my email address and new six digit customer number and get the message that it is incorrect. However, the link to classicmagazines.co.uk works fine with the same details.

Looks like personal ads', "Latest for Sale Ads" listing on front page, right-hand column, are not updating automatically again.

Darren,

I must be doing something wrong, but I can't work ou what. I followed your "digital" route, dug my cover sheet out of the 'to be shredded' pile and input my details. (I am assuming my customer ID is the 14-alpha-numeric above my address on the cover sheet.) But I'm told that the details are incorrect. I also tried accessing the archive by signing in with my log in details, which are also wrong, apparently, despite allowing me to log on to the web site. Luckily, I have a reasonably full head of hair, but what now?
