When I used to subscribe I wish I'd gone for the hard copy too. I only received the digital copy which meant I also had access to the digital archive which was a bonus.
When I cancelled not only did I lose access to the archive but also all the editions I had paid for!

Hi, Colin:

To answer your question: I do not know.  But that is an interesting thought.

My subscription is (and always has been) direct with Peco/Railway Modeller.  I get the hard copy  magazine, and because of that, I get access to the digital archive.

Hi Ian,
I am somewhat confused here - my subscription (recently renewed) is still with Exact Editions and I still have full search.
Is this because my subscription is direct with Exact Editions?
Cheers,
Colin.

Problem Solved!

After Private Messaging with @JulianO I was able to determine a solution to searching the entire Railway Modeller database in the new pocketmags app. 

Background

I never received any communication that my digital subscription had transferred to pocketmags.  But when I logged on to Exact Editions, it kept saying that I did not have a RM subscription.  After researching, I realized that pocketmags had taken over RM's digital; archive.

I had a pocketmags account from way back and, when I logged onto the site on my PC, I was immediately able to find my RM subscription in My Library.  However, I did not see a way to search for Keywords.  This was very frustrating as I enjoy researching and documenting the early history of British N gauge and RM is a very valuable resource. 

When I saw Julian's post on the Forum, I realized that he was using an iPhone.  So, I downloaded the pocketmags app on my iPhone but I had exactly the same problem. 

Solution

After communicating with Julian, it dawned on me that he was accessing pocketmags via the Railway Modeller app. 

I did not have the RM app on my iPhone so I downloaded it.  When I was asked to log in, I was directed to use my pocketmags user name and password.  This solved the problem! 

I immediately saw what Julian described in his post above and I can now happily search all back issues of RM for a particular keyword. 

I hope this helps others who like to search the RM digital archive. 

Ian

Don't get too excited!    I was just testing the function, as I hadn't sent one for 15 years.  And, I messed up the two tests to myself by sending 20,000 emails.     I only selected myself, so it was a shock to see everyone was getting them.

Also I was testing the Newsletter and I messed up sending to everyone!!!!  Apologies!!   

Newsletter?

Hey ho - every day's a learning day, but I preferred the previous version (whinge, whine, moan)

Our club chairman received an email via a link shown on our website. This allegedly came from a Jean Edmund who claimed they lived in Rennes, France. they were offering a large collection for sale, asking E4000. There were no details of what was in the collection or a link to any pictures. They did offer to send pictures and further details to anyone interested in purchasing this collection.
I was asked to send this to all our club members; I am club secretary and have all member's emails.
One of our members who is very well versed in IT delved into the origin of the email and discovered it is a scam attempt. The pictures he found relating to this were the same as a German website where someone was genuinely selling their collection of Marklin, Fleischmann and Roco stock.

I posted this to warn all NGF members of this incident; the sender's email is a gmail.com address, with the name of landoisarnaud6.

I hope this is seen by as many NGF members as possible so nobody loses any money.

The 3 lines to the left of the Folders (Shrewsbury, Model Show etc), you can drag those up and down, so your most used folders are at the top.

The photos seem to be single file only.  I'll see if something can be done to change the view.  Though it will probably cost, as the developer will need to change it.  I'm surprised it doesn't allow more columns to appear.

Please don't forget the Gallery. The listings of my categories is now so spread out I have to go through several pages to find the category I want e.g.



Then, the category opens to a list of single pics on top of each other rather than a page of thumbnails which I used to be able to extend to 60 per page if I wanted e.g.



Now it's easier to add that pic again rather than search, which somewhat defeats the object of saving space
