After some requests from members (and some updating to the forum), I've now made it possible for members to show their N Gauge Society and 2mm Association member numbers on their profiles, and posts.
Let me know what you think.
Nice if you have the numbers! i feel left out now and better join ;D
What use are the numbers to anybody else anyway?
I am not a number. I am a free MAN! (Punches air with fist).
The numbers are useful to relate to articles in the Journals, or contacting members privately through the Society/Association. I get contacted every now and again.
Tank is 100% spot on, it helps people pin-point a journal and article.
If any of you guys need help or want to borrow a back copy of a journal between Jan 04-Jun11, please PM me so I can help...
:thumbsup:
Profile updated Boss :thumbsup:
Nice to see how many of us are members :NGaugersRule:

Dont be Daft!
Numbers mean nowt! (take it from an Ex-Service Man!) It just means that we are all part of something good and that our knowledge (big or small) cannot be quantified (but as a group can), yet we shall all endeavour to help and support our fellow N Gauge mates...

Well, I've now added my NGS number.
Though it does seem to be lower than everyone else's!

Well, almost!
Here's a question: are numbers below 10000 recognised in the Society prize draws? 8)

Be a bit of a bummer if not. - whoever's got Number 1 would be brassed off (No mention of No.2 please!)
Do the numbers relate to members i.e. if mine is 21962 does that mean at the time I joined there were 21,962 members ???
I would guess the numbers are sequential, I joined a few years ago (4 or 5 maybe?)
I have just taken out a years membership to see what it is like, although I do realise as an American & Japanese modeller (hopefully soon ::)) there wont be a lot of specific stuff to interest me but I am hoping to pick up tips on general layout topics.
I also received the handbook and have to say I was impressed with the quantity but was surprised, given the computer age we live in, some of the rather poor diagrams. I shall persevere with it though ;D

Well I figured there must be another 'Old Skool' member join at some point! :)
Can't say I recall a 4 digit member winning, I may be wrong though...

Numbers are sequential as Damian said and are allocated as people join.
If you left and rejoined later you would have a new, higher number.
There's currently something like 5,500 members.
It amazes me that over 15,000 have joined since me!
Just think if they'd all stayed as members.... :o

Persevere with it! The handbook has each section updated every now and again but being a voluntary thing takes time.
The sections with the poor diagrams are probably on the cards...
I had a lower number for the NGS when I joined the first time in 1994 I think, but when I rejoined I didn't think to ask for it to be renewed. Not to worry, it's not a competition. :) Or is it?! :D

I am waiting for someone outside the UK to win - although it is a bit of a longshot as apparently only 10% of members do. Odds on if it were me, it would be something for eBay to get beer tokens to get what I really want :evil:
