New Members/Trial Members PLEASE READ

I get several emails per day from newer members/trial members asking why they are suddenly unable to search forums, download attachments and various other things. You get a message that says something like "you do not have permissions" to perform certain tasks.

 

Pretty much 100% of the time it is because your trial membership or your supporting membership has expired. I then often get an email back stating something like "thank you but I didn't realize that it was a trial membership".

 

This post is meant to be informative, NOT scolding. When you go to the home page of VentureRider.org and read the introduction, it clearly states that you are signing up for a free 60 day trial. When you get your welcome email, it also welcomes you to your free 60 day trial.

 

I am not trying to trick anybody here. I try to make it very clear that the free membership is indeed for a 60 day trial. I also state that upon completion of the free trial or sooner if you like what you find here, full membership is only $12.00 per year. Folks that is $1.00 per month and I think affordable for most anybody. I hope so. As cheap as it is, if you truly have some serious financial issues just send me a message. I have given a free years to several people who were truly having problems.

 

Now let me say that almost everybody is OK with the answer once they learn that their trial membership has simply expired. I've only had one person ever who got upset about it. He was from somewhere in California and said that he was a retired cop and he knew a thing or two about "bait and switch" scams and that he was never told that it was only a free trial. I'm sorry people, but if a retired cop missed ALL the notifications that the free membership was only a 60 day trial then I'm guessing that he wasn't a detective.

 

So like I said, this post is not meant to scold anybody, well except maybe that retired cop if he even checks things out still, but just an explanation to those of you who might have missed the terms.

 

It is easy to become a supporting member. Just click on "Membership" in the menu bar at the top of the page.

 

Thanks

 

Thank you I understand.

Thanks for the trial Membership, I'm a disabled Veteran so funds are tight on our very limited income.

[rlwfarrier]

Thanks. I did read and understand that it is free for 60 days.

Really very useful and handy features. I will remember them and use them. This is really much clearer and easier if it will be seen in which section there are new messages.

OK, I am back. It's been a few years guys and gals. My bike stopped running around 2016 and with everything going on in life I just kinda let it sit. Finally got tired of seeing the old girl whither away and fixed it. Will be posting what I found later this week after I have it all back together. I will just give you a hint. I did a small adjustment on the idle and she never would start after that.

Good to see some familiar names.  Haven't been riding much since YAMMERDANS and BRAKEPADS accident(s) but that's about to change.  Wife  was informed Tuesday that she had Covid so now Penny, Aunt Mary and I are home quarantined for the next 10 days.  I renewed my membership today(damn 4 years went by quick) and look forward to catching up.  I scored a fuel tank gauge pod for my Venture a while back and am going to order the gauges for it. I believe someone on this site actually made them.  I dropped fascist book and twitter, but can be found under my name  in Mewe.com.

Sorry to hear about your wife I hope its only a relative mild case. We almost lost both my sister and brother in law to covid. They both were hospitalized for a month and a half, placed on ventilators and at one point we thought we were going to loose them. Miraculously the pulled through though my sister in law has had to under go three surgery's to repair damaged vocal cords from her trying to rip out the ventilator. The cords were healing together which means instead of parting and closing as she breathes they would block her air flow causing her to choke and unable to breath. If this third surgery does not succeed her only option is a tracheotomy. So far things are looking hopeful.

As much as I hate to say it, Don.....

a) My membership DID expire, sometime, gawd knows when exactly

b) I went to post something in the Wateringhole today regarding an upcoming trip we're planning, and.....

c) I didn't KNOW "a" had happened

d) there was no indication on the page that the reason I couldn't post was my expired membership. There was no indication of ANYTHING. I was just presented with a page that I could "read", but no visible indication of HOW TO post....and no visible explanation/notification of why I couldn't.

e) I even emailed marcarl to find out what was going on....so you KNOW how desperate I was! LOL

f) I DID take a screen shot of the entire homepage of the Wateringhole Forum, so if you're interested in what I saw, and why the solution eluded me, I'm happy to send you a copy of it.

In fact.....let's try it here.....

I don't know if it's written out at all, but you would be most welcome to go bigger.

I would very much love to subscribe since I have 4 Yamaha bikes is it easy to communicate as member I will sign up now as I am having a hard time 

[bpate4home]

I found this in the dropdown

 

Under the Managed Subscriptions it tells me about Auto Renew with PayPal has been setup. I've been a member for a while and I seem to remember this being here. @Freebird or @Marcarl may need to chime in

 

[bpate4home]

I found subscription information under the store dropdown at the top also. Subscriptions is the same for me but Manage Purchases allows me to see the detail of the PayPal and manage that.
