Although we still offer basic, Free membership, and Paying membership which entitles you to receiving our print magazine Pagoda World and our news letter, as well as full access to our technical manual, the membership system has been completely revamped on the new system.
Although we still offer basic, Free membership, and Paying membership which entitles you to receiving our print magazine Pagoda World and our news letter, as well as full access to our technical manual, the membership system has been completely revamped on the new system.
Essentially we now just have a single sign on. You log-on here using your user name and password.
You can verify your membership status using the Profile tab which appears at the top of the page after you have logged in. The "membership status" indicates if you are an active, full member, or not. To get more details, select the link "account related settings" at the left of the screen.
Your detailed profile will appear. On this screen you can fill out the postal address fields required for full membership, and press one of the links on the left to join as a Full Member, or to Renew or cancel your membership.
Once you have requested to join as a Full Member, the Full Member flag will be set to Yes. However, until your payment has been received and been processed (which is a quick and almost automatic process if you use PayPal, but may take weeks if you decide to pay in another way) your Activated status will remain at No.
Only when your Activated status is set to Yes will you have full access to the Full Member facilities and will you receive our printed material.
Make sure your postal details are correct whenever you verify your membership status. You can see when your membership is due to expire, but you will also receive notifications via e-mail when this happens.
We typically start warning you 1 month ahead of expiry and give you some leeway, but please make sure your membership is current.
