I tried to access the “Subscribers only” section this morning, but I’m banned as I’m not a UK subscriber.

Is there a way in which I can prove that I subscribe through EWA, the North American distributor, and so have access.

Surely I’m not the only overseas reader whose subscription isn’t through MyHobbyStore Ltd.?

Hi There

There is a problem with entering US subscriber numbers to the web site.

We are working on a solution.

It’s not much help being a UK subscriber. The site simply refuses to accept my subscriber number!

My God, David, do you ever rest? You’re so much on the ball it’s frightening. Glad I never worked for you, teaching was hectic enough in Canadian High School, I’d never have stayed the course with you I think.

Hi There

Back issues are available in the myaccount box.

As there is no locked content yet, I expect that is why you can’t access it.

I don’t know what content to put on and lock.

Any ideas what you would like to see?

i see the back issues for MEW have been put on (i only subscribe to MEW btw). I have been thinking about subscribing to ME as well, but I was wondering, what ME back issues are (are going to be put online?) or more to the point, how far back will they go?

regards,

Dave

P.S putting back issues online is a stroke on genius, I was running out of space for the bound issues!

If your “logged in” i.e. you can make posts on the forum, then at the top left hand side of the screen, is a small red box thats says “My account”, with a few blue links inside. If you click on the one that says back issues it will take you to a new page which has the covers of the back issues, simply click on the one you want and it will load up (fingers crossed!!).

I’m not a subscriber and it tells me the back issues are “subscriber only content” so they seem to be locked now.

I prefer to order my magazines from the local newsagent on the “use it or lose it” basis, it also means they are in mint condition unlike some of the dog eared messes I have had through the post.

I don’t relish the idea of a significant proportion of the site content becoming subscriber only.

Hi There
It is on the grey envelope and possibly on your confirmation letter.
Enter the 8 digits that are in the * position below.
Ignore the 00 and the R MEW 153

00********R MEW153

Hope this makes sense.

Model Engineer is probably the same.

Bear in mind that the subscriber number was never intended to be used in this way.

On the back issues of MEW I was doing a search on some CNC related articles and found that issue 140 is 134 duplicated and issue 143 is actually 142 duplicated.

Any chance of 140 and 143 being corrected.

Nice touch this as it certainly speeds up searching, what are the plans on how far to go back ?

What a splendid feature you have with your back issues. Any chance of going back to No1? I have most of MEW from the mid twenties on, and have been buying regularly since mid forties and I would like to see what I am missing.

Hi There John

I have requested issues to be updated.

Chris,

If we go back further, they will be scanned PDF’s.

We need original PDF pages as sent to the printer for the digital editions and probably don’t have them that far back.

Hi There

I doubt it.

We should be selling them on CD, not giving them away free.

I have got the first 20 issues loose to scan in but it will take a lot of time.

Hello David,

Following on Andy P’s post – I too took the advice of an Editorial in one of the magazine issues of a few years ago and get my copies (by regular order) of MM and MEW through my local village newsagent. As the Editor had said – “it is important to support local independent newsagents” – which I do.

I do not therefore have a subscription number! How can I get access to “subscription only” material.

Do I have to cancel my order with my local newsagent and re-subscribe?

This is contrary to the ethos of earlier comments about supporting newsagents!

I appreciate this may be the only way to get access – but it takes the trade away from local business – which, originally we were implored to support!

It seems somewhat unfair to say the least – can this situation be resolved?

Best wishes

Peter

one source of back issues is e.bay. I have now got M.E. as far back as 1948 and was even able to purchase a bound copy of volume one dated 1898. I was fortunate enough to contact one e.bayer who had 20+ years worth he was prepared to sell as a job lot. It also depends on how many people are after what you want , I have had complete volumes for as little as £0.99 + postage
