Joining a forum isn't rocket science ........ just follow the guide lines/rules & not what you want them to be

IMO if a site can't sort it's sign up process correctly then its not worth the bother.

In fact it still doesn't ask you to enter the correct details, and implys using your own made up details.Stuff em.
http://www.autobahnstormers.org/forum/ucp.php?mode=register

No idea where, but it says in the sign up details that you use the user name they give you ie 1234 Chris Bloggs and a password that you then change as suits! I managed quite successfully to join, so it can't be difficult!

If memory serves me correctly, you have to request to join the forum and you are then notified of your user-name and password by the Admins as Andy said. It is not an instant thing but should be sorted within a day or two.

Anyone who doesn't hear back is obviously viewed as undesirable. 

yes they do check hands on, but I only ever get a reply saying my details are not valid, as they don't include the "on the card" details, which they don't ask for in the sign up process a posted above.
 This after waiting a week for them to check the application in the first place.

If I wasn't undesirable before, I certainly am to them now.

try emailing someone then ...... Dave Wadington perhaps

[feeutfo]

Why? 

[feeutfo]

Because if joining a forum is so easy, you'd be able to tell me how Mr P.

I'm still waiting for mine 12 months later 
Do you think they are trying to tell me something   

That reminds me, got a letter off Dave Wadington asking me for another fiver

If anyone has any grief joining, it's probably easier to e-mail them for clearer instructions, or one of us ABS members could raise the topic. It's probably not that big a deal though as we've got all of the info we need on here. 


You might want to join their forum in future though as a few have got Monaro's or VXR8's now.

Oh dear, what have you done.

When/if you sent the money, ask him to sort it. He's a very straight forward bloke.

There are a couple of club officials you could perhaps email - secretary would probably be best, or the treasurer

While they probably don't want to compete with another forum, they also need to realise this, if they want members to join the forum. Which they don't, or the sign up page would be clearer.

I do return periodically to see of they have changed the stated requirements, to the requirements they actually require, and sign up incorrectly just to annoy them. Then make my feelings clear in the reply to said email that asks for the correct details, instead of the ones they ask for.

It is terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tireding process, but if they annoy me, I reserve the right to annoy them back. Eejits.

Also may be worth asking for advice from KeithB who is a member here and runs the ABS club shop.
Ime they are quite a civilsed bunch.

My cockup andy   
Got the letter a few months ago saying that the price was going up by a fiver but forgot to send off the new standing order mandate so only 20 quid went out 

I'll have a word next week and see if I can send it via BACS because I don't have a cheque book

Done, lets see how long it takes this time.
