Martin Fraser Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I subscribed to the digital issue in April but still haven't a clue how to view an edition yet. Is ones subscriber number the same as the OIN number? I've emailed the office last week but no reply as yet! TIA, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven S Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I believe most of us read it through "Pocketmags" on our phones, tablets, and desktop computers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Fraser Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 I wasn't really asking ' what devise do people use' but how do I get to read what I've paid for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan W Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 It's a pity nobody from "the staff" have advised you on this. However, the way that I view the digital magazine is from the modelflying.co.uk home page, at the top right you select "LOG IN / JOIN". Then you will need to join and I guess give your subscriber number, but I can't remember exactly as I did this a long time ago. In fact my subscriber number has somehow changed during the period of my continuous subscription, but I can still access the Digital Archive on my old number.. Once you have "LOG IN" working, then you can go across left to the "SUBSCRIBE" button and choose "Digital Archive" from the drop down. Then you should see the digital magazines available for selection. This is all very confusing. This home page "LOG IN" is separate from the forum log in. Also, I have yet a third log in for "RCME.secureorder.co.uk to supposedly "manage" my subscription. This is also confusing. Even though I thought I had this on continuous renewal, I find myself each year receiving a letter from RCME inviting me to renew with some deal or other. This year, I went and renewed according to this letter. Having done that and then become more confused by the contradictory information on RCME.secureorder.co.uk and various phone calls to them, it seemed that the price of the deal offered in the letter was actually more than if I had left it to renew automatically,.....maybe!!! Really I am not sure about this and its only because RCME is the only UK RC magazine still published that I put up with having 3 separate log ins for the same organisation that cannot give me a straight story on my subscription renewal year on year!!!

Hi Jonathan, Thanks for your input. After some faffing about I've managed to get to the digital archive and view / read the editions. I can't see me reading it on my phone though as the lap top is small enough. When I hit the full screen button it just goes blank. However, I can zoom with the mouse. It strikes me as all very clunky but I'll persevere with it for now. Thanks again for your help, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert chamberlain Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I recently extended my subscription for another year and added digital but have no idea how to access . Mt number is 400-248-2422. HELP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outrunner Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Robert. I recently changed my subscription to print and digital and like you I had no idea how to get the digital edition. I eventually worked it out myself the nice lady at the publishers office was not much help when I phoned them. What I did eventually was to install the pocket mags app on my tablet, logon with my RCM&E forum account and it magically gave me access to the digital magazine. What I was more interested to in was the archive magazines, these you access through the RCM&E homepage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outrunner Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 EB. These instructions get you to the archive site. If you want the current edition you need to go to Pocket Mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I have never used Pocket Mags as the current edition is in the Digital Archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outrunner Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 The above is showing January 2022 edition as January 2021 but there is no February 2022 there, if you go to Pocket Mags it is published. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outrunner Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 That's fair enough EB but others may like to see their digital edition sooner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
