Manx Club
I've tried for about the fourth time to join the Manx Buggy Club. Well, what the......is going on there????
You can't join the forum without being in the club.
You can't join the club without downloading the form from the forum site.
You can't download from the site without being a member.
Can anyone guess where this is going...........deadend.
I even had Brad ask me to join years ago, I wrote an article for the magazine...but ...never saw the membership application that was offered to
me.......
Sounds too hard, but I would love to go on runs with them, esp when up the beach our way........
Anyone can get the Manx Club to send me an application form, my email is donmatboat@yahoo.com.au

I just tried to get the form for you but the link says error can't be found.
You don't have to be a member of the club to join the forum, I am on the forum but am not yet a financial member.
I'll will PM Brad and get him onto this for you.
You can't have a Baja as beastly as yours and not be let in the Manxclub!

If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.

Matt,
I have emailed you a Member ship Form.
You have to Join the forum to download, but anyone can join the forum and you do not need to be a Club Member to do so.
Once you have joined the forum you can download the form. It is to stop spammers.
All that being said the link was wrong and has now been fixed.

also check that your system clock is set correctly - This is another known issue that can cause cookie issues.

I'm joining the list of people who can't get onto the site to join up.
All I get is an error message when I try to download a form. I also tried the 'contact us' facility and it ended up giving me an error message
too!
My cookies are enabled.... that sounds kinda strange I know :-)
Can anyone email me a form and I'll go from there.
Many thanks, Marc.

Thanks for your help Lovebuggy. Unfortunately still no good. I'm on IE7, with no listed sites in the untrusted security section, privacy now set to
accept all cookies, clock has been a day out since I can't remember so now is set correctly date and time is within a minute or so.
Any other idea's..........

Hi Marc,
Are you able to register on the site?
What Operating system are you running and what version of browser do you use (e.g, XP with IE6, Windows 7 with IE8, Vista with Firefox, etc)?

Manx forum better be good.
Am glad to see I'm def not the only one with this problem. I've been trying to join for YEARS
For the Manx Club form, Brad emailed me one, payment has been sent and form mailed.....the old way.
Once a member the forum won't be any different so we'll need this sorted.

Do you run any extra security software - nortons, zone alarm, etc
Can you try and turn the firewalls off and try that with privacy setting set to low?
Any chance you could try with mozilla firefox to see if that also has the issue?

Yes I do. It's a work laptop so it has all the bells and whistles in terms of security and I'm not permitted to download firefox
Security settings are set so it looks like I won't be able to go to the manx site?
Can a membership form be emailed and I can send it by snail-mail to join? That way I can hopefully be a part of the Fraser run next year!
Cheers,
Marc

Pm me your email and I will send you one. It would be worth persueing getting on to the forum as there is a lot of cool content and builds on there
and it will definatley maximise your membership experience.
If you are interested in Fraser you may wish to book now. There are about 7 of the 34 spots left in the houses. Let me know and i will send you more
info.

After reading this forum I decided to give it ago, and attempt to join AGAIN. I use Firefox and well after numerous attempts changing and reseting
settings Im in. And it accepted my application on the same settings as when I first couldnt get in. Go figure. Definately a problem with the system
which needs to be fixed if they want more members. Good luck to anyone else.

What were your final settings/steps to get in?
I don't think this is a forum issue - it is a Microsoft issue. There are plenty of similar stories on the web with regards to the cookie issue.

As I have Firefox I went into tools, then options, then privacy. checked to see if accepting cookies was selected (which it was). I then de selected
everything one at a time and kept tyring to log into the site. when I had tried all options, I reset and just for giggles tried again and it accepted
me. what ever the issue is or was, it is definately stopping alot of people joining.
