There seems to be some unclarity about having a digital subscription after you had the classic one, so here is a total rerun of the process as I think it works.
Individual replies below this portion.
1. On 4 January 2022, the membership administration was adopted for the new situation.
1a. If you had a magazine subscription, running further than Scramble 511, but we did not receive your email in time to use the remaining credit for an online subscription, your existing subscription (including extended website access) ended on 4 January 2022. In this case, your remaining money is on the way back to you, which may take some time.
1b. If your magazine subscription ended exactly with #511, your extended website access ended on 4 January 2022 as well. See 2b please.
1c. If you notified us in time to use remaining credit that you had, nothing changed at this time. Your forum/website account kept full access to the subscribers-only content on the website.
2. Also on 4 January 2022, the option to buy the online subscription in the web shop was activated.
2a. If your subscription has ended because of point 1a, you now need to use the shop option to become a subscriber again. There are no other options anymore. The credit you had from the magazine subscription will be returned independently.
2b. If your subscription has ended because of point 1b, you also need to use the shop option to become a subscriber again. See 3c as well please.
2c. Obviously, if you want to be a new subscriber (welcome!) then please use the shop option as well.
2d. A Scramble website/messageboard account is needed to buy the online subscription. If you had one, regardless if it was coupled to the magazine subscription or the messageboard only, you can keep using it. If you don't have one, the shop page will guide you to create one.
2e. PayPal payments usually result in subscribers' access within a day, bank transfers take several days.
3. On 9 January 2022, the first edition of Scramble online was published.
3a. A Scramble website/messageboard account coupled to an online subscription gives acces to the monthly sections from this day on.
3b. The same account gives, or keeps giving, access to the other subscribers-only sections of the website as well.
3c. Regardless of when your subscription starts, all monthly content of Scrambe online will remain available. You may be without access for a while but you can catch up as soon as you have it.
@merktech: Als ik goed lees wat je acties tot zover waren dan zou je één dezer dagen zowel abonneetoegang tot de site moeten hebben, als je resterende geld van het oude abonnement terugkrijgen.
@Pelican34: Thank you too! And point duly noted. I don't see a complete Scramble coming out as a pdf, even if it were a 'light' version. But that print/export function should come.
@lambo1784, in addition to Jaap: Make sure to log in with the account to which your subscription is coupled, of course.
@Laurent: Dank voor je hulp!
@ATCSpooky, aanvullend op Patrick: Het nieuws zoals het bestond, bestaat niet meer. Het wordt nu verdeeld over de nieuwsitems op/via de voorpagina en toelichtingen op de updates. De scheiding zal regelmatig niet hard zijn natuurlijk.
@WOOD: If there is literally nothing there, something tech went wrong. I would suggest the obvious steps like emptying browser cache and try again. If you only see the Messageboard option, you are not logged in as a subscriber. If none of the above gives a clue about that, please contact
subscribe@scramble.nl about it.
Hope this helps!
Erik
