I signed up to contribute as I never read or click the ads, but I've never found out how to access the extra content - everything I click just tells me about the extra stuff and my status without ever displaying it

I never buy the paper copy of the mag, so agreeing with SFB (that'll start him off! :wink:) I thought it would be nice to support the site. And you get to read the mag on line and have all the old ones too, well worth 15 nicker to me. Plus you dont get the fashing ads!

I'm really pleased about it. The premier thing started about 3 days after I cancelled my mag sub (because I was getting fed up with the standard of content as well as the grammar and spelling). Not being able to see the premium content keeps me away from even more of what annoys me.

^ As Simon. I subscribe, but have a pile of unopened mags, I haven't looked at the premier content yet...I just do it to contribute to the forum, as for a few years it's been the first place I log on to.

Tend not to use the online subscription much, having to adjust the way Safari works to open it is a bit of a put off, but really i think I just prefer magazines to be paper.

i was always prepared to pay to get shot of some of the damm ads so the premier sub came along at the right time. Good to give something back, keep flicking through the back issues from before i subscribed to look up the rides

i upgraded for free but i'm still listed as a normal member... no bother
Posted 2 years ago # -
I really must get around to sorting it.

My Sub is delivered to an address in the UK so I get to read the mag here in Spain as soon as it comes out.
That makes me happy.
I'm not too sure about the 'special content'. I have a feeling the staff are too stressed getting the actual magazine out to worry about add-ons. It would be good to have more 'live' content in the magazine PDF; what with the magazine industry worrying about the iSlate, iPad or whatever.

I upgraded my account when I renewed my subs... It still shows me as " member" tho.. I am not doing something right???
Or am I missing something obvious???
Posted 2 years ago # -
also I think all the options are needlessly confusing, there appears to be a lot of permutations...
Posted 2 years ago # -
Me too. I just upgraded but still listed as a "member" why?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Don't know about 'worth it' in purely monetary terms, but it does provide a means of supporting the site.
Personally I like the online content, saves the 'big pile of mags' getting even bigger and lets me access past issues wherever I am.May also serve as some degree of reassurance for classified transactions ?

Sorry 'bout that. It's been changed today - no more lardy bloke.

...looking at all this 'Premier Content'.. surely we get that in the mag online too? Isn't it exactly the same content?

As does google chrome, firefox. I'm a subscriber but haven't bother 'upgrading', don't really see the point.
Posted 2 years ago # -
I'd have it if I didn't have to have that lame 'P' next to my name.
Posted 2 years ago # -
It no longer says 'Premier Member' next to your name cos it made some of us snigger a bit in a childish kind of way
Premier accounst now get a 'p' symbol next to their names.
Simon. You are definitely a Premier users. Have you tried reading the current crop of stories on the front page that are just for Premier users?
Also, in your profile page you should have a button named, 'Premier Account Status'.. It should be rather large and unmissable. Click that to go to the page that shows you all the details we hold on you and also that's where you will find the 'reduce ads' button.
Posted 2 years ago # -
The ads are preferable to the big ugly flashing 'p' then?
Posted 2 years ago # -
As does google chrome, firefox.
Shhh!Likewise on being a subscriber and not bothering upgrading.

still waiting for mine to go Premier - How long does it take to get 'connected' ?
gary_m : i got banned for mentioning that !

because it's free (existing subscriber) and you get more?
You can even email your username, subscriber number (postcode is you can't find it) and registered email address to sarah@singletrackworld.com and we'll do all the work for you.Posted 2 years ago # -

Because the rules/terms and conditions state that as a consequence.
Posted 2 years ago # -
mark - why has mine not yet gone live then ?
Posted 2 years ago # -
I can't do that now as I've said I don't see the point. Just make me a premier member and I don't have a choice

Premier users get 20% off servicing at Mojo currently. The story is on the front page..
Not that that is of any use to anyone who doesn't need that service.. But it's just the first of the kinds of deals and offers that we are sourcing exclusively for Premier Users.None premier users aren't being forgotten though. There's currently a competition on the front page for everyone to win one of 10 signed copies of Seasons on DVD.
For none Premier users it's business as usual. You get the same stuff you always got. If that's enough then that's great
For anyone who wants extras then there's Premier. Simples Posted 2 years ago # -
Why not change the "Premier Users" tab to "Premier content" then bunch all the extra content there?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Tom is investigating the missing accounts now. If anyone else has been waiting more than a day to get the 'p' next to their name then call Sarah on 01706 814397 or email her on sarah@singletrackworld.com with your username and your subscription number or postcode... if you have them.
Posted 2 years ago # -
can you look thru all the back issues and print off what you want with the primier digital extra?
Posted 2 years ago # -
you get banned for pointing something out???
seems a bit playground silly to me.Posted 2 years ago # -
Nonk... You haven't read the rules then either..
Mi@k - yes. Digital subscribers with the PDF Extra 'bolt-on' option can print out directly from the PDF copies.
Posted 2 years ago # -
thanks mark i thought that was the case but wasnt sure about back issues
cheersPosted 2 years ago # -
Hang on.. it's FREE! to existing subscribers? Why haven't I got it then? Do I need to phone someone up? Can I do it in a few clicks instead?
Posted 2 years ago # -
btw does anyone know the file size of one of the mags ? just id have to take it to work to print on a usb stick
taPosted 2 years ago # -
i have now and if its in the rules then its in the rules.
personal view on that rule is that its a bit daft.its a bit like my lbs banning me for not allways getting my stuff from them.
ah well its your forum i geuss.

The pdf files for each mag are between 30mb - 70mb depending on content.
Our Singletrack memory sticks are 2gb (available in the shop) and come with 10 back issues of the mag pre-installed. There's still loads of space on them and you can delete the files from the stick once you are done with them.
