If any member can help I'd appreciate it. Andy Hi Andy This has come up before*, so not surprised. When you join you get a ‘welcome’ e.mail. Hidden in the blurb of that e.mail is a note telling how to get forum access, with, I think, a password (?). That should do the trick, I hope. Martin * IIRC nangwaya and timurilank , maybe baldie too, on this forum had the same issue. Can you let me know if that works, pls?

I did indeed. Access to a mystical bunch of wise men should never be too easy.
If Martin's help doesn't work, it did for me, I have also asked for someone to help you on the forum.

Martin, Re-reading the welcome email and using the ‘secret password’ resolved the issue.

Quoted from my welcome email "As a Member you have access to the Society forums that can be found on the Society of Ancients website and we strongly recommend your participation. The forums contain Society announcements, useful information for Members together with a wide range of discussions relating to many aspects of ancient military history and wargaming. If you are not already a forum member, please contact the Society webmaster at webmaster@soa.org.uk and you will be sent an invitation to register. If you have any problems with access to the forums, please go to the Society website contact form soa.org.uk/joomla/contact/3-forum-access to let us know." tried both those suggestions but no joy. Andy

Andy Was there no password included in any of the joining blurb? (Used to be...).

Joining a new club is always exciting and once you've run the gauntlet of obstacles to get in, your really in. One thing to keep in mind however when becoming a member is (Hotel California style), you can check out anytime you like but you can never leave.

Salutations !
Did mention my SoA membership in my Museum Miniatures order, got reply from Dave Hoyles there, "We no longer give discount to SOA, we haven’t given discount for years but they don’t seem to have removed it from their literature."
Still glad I joined. Hope they put past five years of _Slingshot_ on digital media soon.
Have not had problems accessing or posting to Forums.
