Hi – don’t know if this will help to solve the mystery but here goes.
On the “Extras” page I can access the four editions shown even though I wasn’t logged in. On the “Subscriptions” page I can access the Model Engineer edition but NOT the MEW edition – both under the headings “Try me for free” – when not logged in, I get the error message as above. Looks like a code hiccup on the subscriptions page.
There are 3 different issues in the “Try Me” section, all of them past editions, and I have just accessed them all with no difficulty. Perhaps if you try to access current magazines you will be denied entry if not a paid up subscriber?
The links on the “EXTRAS” page work fine – it’s those on the “SUBSCRIPTIONS” page that are giving the problems – and as far as I can see it’s only the MEW link that’s broken. At least that is how it seems 2 minutes ago.
If you go to the ‘Subscribe’ page from the bar menu there are options to subscribe to either ME or MEW with free access to a copy of either magazine. The link to ME works but the link to MEW says that ‘you don’t have access to the digital editions’ or something like that.
First: log out, as “Try me” is intended for someone who is not member, of course . Maybe even close your browser, and clear the cookies, sesson logons etc. (as I don’t know how your web site deal with logon/logof).
Or if you prefer then go to “subscribe” link in the top menu (green one)
There is 4 subsciption options. Bottom right is Digital edition MEW. Click on picture of computer screen that had red circle and say “Try me for free”.
I subscribe to the print edition of MEW and along with all the other magazines I also subscribe to I am thinking of switching over to the Digital Edition. But before I do this can anyone advise if the Digital Edition of MEW can be read on an iPad? The Digital Editon seems to be accessed via a web browser, but I’m not sure if this is compatible with the Safari browser on an iPad?
