Duncan Edwards 2,323 Posted December 7, 2021 Will this represent an amnesty for banned posters? If they subscribe will they be able to post, or will they be paying equally as others but for fewer features? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The link in the app takes you (the paid app user) to the web page, where you have to sign in again 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greavsy 2,540 Posted December 7, 2021 @TIL 1010as ex police may I ask you, if I get a ban for speeding but then change my vehicle is the ban still valid / enforceable? Asking for a "friend"! Who may also have his own transportation company......  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InterNorwich 3 Posted December 7, 2021 I paid for the 12months via apple but when going to the new login in on the app it says I’m not subscribed :/ Any ideas @Pete Raven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have taken out your subscription within the app, you should not need to login to access content as the app will automatically recognise your subscription linked to your Apple/Google Play account. If you are being directed to the login screen when trying access content, please tap the 'My Account' button in the app and then tap the 'Restore' button. This should relink your subscription to the app and grant you access. If this doesn't work let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,852 Posted December 7, 2021 Presumably the best way for posters to find out what will be behind the paywall and whether there will still be adverts etc is to sign on for the monthly deal of £1.99 and see what the first - free - two months are like. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 536 Posted December 7, 2021 (edited) Signed up on Google play. Looks ok. Can't link to my Bristol Nest account yet as GP on a different e mail address. Worth a go though. I think that I may have sorted it... Edited December 7, 2021 by The Bristol Nest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are making a forum more publicised even via an app, there will be a need for more scrutiny and a disclaimer that it is an adult environment. I dare say, some rules will need toughening up no matter what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As with any organisation in "rip off Britain" it will be minimal for a short time but once an acceptable number have signed up the advertising will be far too intrusive. Just look at Sky.

Just look at Sky. They have now reached the stage that most of the halftime break is taken up by adverts. I don't believe this to be true for Archant, from what I understand the aim is to genuinely make the content better, that's why they want to remove intrusive ads for paid subscribers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KiwiScot 1,609 Posted December 9, 2021 God did I just lead to a solid point. All I'll say this is the internet. We feed on the 2nd hand data. If people pay for exclusivity the poor will reap the benifit from robin cambridgeshire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
