I posted yesterday about an attempted scam email our club received, but it has not appeared under 'Recent unread posts' and is showing a red X by it in the 'General Discussion' section. I don't want to delete it, but if there is something amiss with what I've posted I would like to know please.
Thanks.

It's probably me being thick, but I've only just noticed the Trade Count has returned under our names. Yeehah

Just.........Wow!!
Thanks, everyone, for their sterling efforts in far exceeding our October target.

Please remember, though, Tank is paying out of his own family pocket each month to keep the forum going

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,

that make sense.

Me, I do like to pick up the hardcopy whenever I visit the UK ( as I did yesterday with Novembers as I am on a visit just now ) however being space limited where we live I decided against the hard copy subscription. Of course with the hard copy just picked up I got the benefit of the 2027 calendar :-)

And I also got all the other mags (Continental Modeller, Hornby, BRM, Model Railway Journal... ) - which adds a chunk of weight to my suitcase...

Cheers,

Colin.

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!

@icairns

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.
