i recently paid my subscription to become a full member and it said i'd get a badge. do you have to pay more for it or do i have to contact someone in regards
to get ting a badge. i was at the recent scottish meet and saw a few bodies with them on and id quite fancy one too.

If you've paid your subscription Tony should get in contact with you. He is a v. busy man at the moment though. Hang in there.

tony is in the middle of moving into and renovating a house, at the moment he is waiting for the phone lines to be put in so he is a bit cut off at the moment and as a result BCUK is running a little behind.

we should catch up in the next few weeks though

Hi Guys, sorry about the hold up, I've got very limited access at the moment but I have got a list of the people that have subscribed and you'll all get badges :D If you could PM me your addresses I'd appreciate it, other wise I'll have to chase them up so I can post out the badge.

Thanks for your patience ;)

OK perhaps I'm being stupid but I cannot find anything that mentions this, but what advantages are there to subscribing etc? :confused:

Just a suggestion but this has to be the most difficult site to join I've found. Howzabout a big 'Join here' button. I've thought of it a few times but it is almost impossible to track down and i still can't find out how much I have to give.
I am happy to give but it's not made easy. I imagine more people would contibute more than words to this excellent site.

C'mon it's not that hard:

1. Click on 'User CP'
2. Scroll down.
3. Under Miscellaneous you'll see a 'Paid Subscriptions' link.

I agree with you however, A 'subscribe' type link up there near 'Community' on the menu bar would be easier for first time visitors to find.

It isn't easy!-why have 3 steps of scrolling through various fields not explicity marked as 'Joining' or 'membership'.
If people have to be sent hyperlinks to help them then the system is letting the forum down.
How long would eBay or Amazon last if the way to join wasn't easy.
In the selling world 9 out 10 people don't complain about a site they just don't comeback (or contribute).
I wan't to contribute-all I'm suggesting its made easier for everyone-more money for the site etc.

Appreciate that.

We did have a big donate button at one time, then everything got linked into the shop and a number of other things, there were multiple places and ways of paying, then the site crashed and Tony has had to build it back up from scratch, pretty much on his own, whilst still trying to maintain a life away from here.

This method was probably already in the software so Tony has utilised it so he could get the site up faster, as before things will probably get easier and more user friendly in time, but for the moment Tony is trying to get a lot of other things edited and running. I know that you can appreciate that:)
