FAQs
Membership
Registered, Logged in, but still see "Register to read more..." buttons
If you have registered successfully and have paid your correct membership fees, then there should be no problems.
If however, as per the pic below; you are logged in as per Circle A but still see buttons as per Circle B, and should be seeing buttons as per Circle C, then this is most probably due to the fact your membership has expired.
Just below Circle A when you are logged in, there is a menu option saying "My Membership Status". Click this and the system shall report your membership expiry date.
You now have three options:- You can upgrade / renew your membership by clicking the button.
- You can leave your membership as expired and not bother renewing
- Or if you feel this to be an error then please use the Contact Form on this website to make contact with the membership secretary if you feel this is an error.
Do I have to change my method of payment to PayPal?
You do not have to pay your membership via PayPal.
However, Paypal has its advantages in that it makes the system automatic. If you pay by cheque or Standing Order, then for your subscription status to be updated to Full or Associate member, the class membership department has to be in receipt of your paperwork and this can obviously take a few days. This also applies for renewal time. With Standing order, the membership secretary needs to check the bank account, then identify who has paid their money, then change that users status on the website.
So no you do not have to pay via Paypal, but it does help things run more smoothly for all concerned.
Do I have to own an ISO to register on the site?

Website
Registered, but when trying to login, I'm directed to the Registration Page
Scenario:
I registered on the website yesterday, received an e_mail asking me to follow a link to confirm my e_mail address, which I did, then got a second mail confirming my registration. When I try to login to make a post on the message board, the website sends me back to the registration page - any thoughts ?
Cause of Problem:
It happens when the new user doesn't click the last "Continue" button during the registration.The confusion occurs because the system send out the confirmation email BEFORE the user has totally finished! Not very clever.
Solution:
You need to inform This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , tell them the membership option you signed up to. They will then be able to rectify the problem via the admin part of the site - hopefully!

This site has been designed for earlier versions of IE8. IE8 has better coding than its predecessors, but unfortunately if the coding is set for IE8, then it will definately not work for earlier IE versions!
The site was designed with the following browsers in mind:
The site works perfectly well for the above free to download and use browsers.
If you have to use Internet Explorer but fortunately happen to be using the best version (IE 8) then the site runs better with compatibility mode turned on.
To switch it on for ISORacing.org.uk, on the browser toolbar- Tools, Compatibility View.
