Mick, Just a thought, and probably not possible, but is there a way so fully paid up members get to see any new ads first. Then say a couple of days later view-able by anyone ?.

Yes, I was thinking that the classifieds doesn't really get used now, but Facebook is used a lot.

So, we may as well open RTOC classifieds up to everyone to try and make it the number one place to sell and buy your 5GTT and RTOC parts.

More or less the same as eBay, with buy it now and auctions, but without the eBay fees.

Mick how do we log into club shop now to see discounts?

R5MJH

as you always did email address and password

vb has always been username but now you can use either for forum but not shop

shop is email only matt

I guess that as the shop now looks the same as the forum it's less obvious that a member still has to log into the shop separately to see the discounts. And then only after they have created a shop account with email address matching the forum.

It might help to change this welcome page line:
"Here you will find a range of official RTOC merchandise and service parts. Sign up as an RTOC Member and you will benefit from a generous members discount on all your purchases. PayPal payment accepted."

To something like:
Here you will find a range of official RTOC merchandise and service parts.
To benefit from a generous members discount on all your purchases, join the RTOC forum as a member, then create an account in the shop with the email address matching your forum email address. Log into the shop with that email address and your shop password.
Paypal payment accepted.

Possibly also make the "Welcome to the RTOC Online Shop" smaller, centralised, and with less wasted space above an below it.

chatbox works purely as a way of talking without posting, ie if you wanted to ask me something you can but anyone can whos a members too its sometimes easier to just say hi there or whatever, feel free to use it buddy its there for everyone:agree:
