Member vs. Subscriber

[steveanalog]

I am not sure if this is the right area for this question, hope so. How does one become a member. I am a subscriber at this point, I will need to renew shorly. What can I do to become a member? Thanks in advance.

Hi, there are members (registered with full forum access) and subscribers (registered with full forum access and access to all other site areas)..

[steveanalog]

So are you saying subscribers have better access,?? How do I become a member?

[david b]

Subscribers have access to everything.

Members do not.

[steveanalog]

Thanks, for the info, I guess I will renew my subscription when due, thanks again.

[David A. Goldfarb]

Subscribers have better access than members. You became a member by registering for the site. You became a subscriber by paying the subscription fee. Subscribers can post classified ads, use the galleries, and do a few other things that I can't recall at the moment.

Thank you for that bit of information, David. Thanks to all...

I've held off on becoming a subscriber due to the condition of the 'Articles' section of the site. Anyone have an idea of when that will be updated?

Rather ask it here than to start a new thread but what's a Council??

[Kevin Caulfield]

First there were moderators, and now we have a council, who, as I understand it, act as a larger group of moderators. This is mainly due to the fact that there are over 20,000 members.
