Member Usergroups and Paid Membership

[openmind]

We are very pleased to announce the launch of the A1 VIP membership scheme! This is a special paid membership level and is available to all A1 registered users for just £20 per year. Working out at less than a pint of milk per week, this represents the best value business forum paid membership scheme around!

There are numerous benefits to becoming a paid member such as:

• Increased PM storage
• Increased attachment allowance
• Ability to post polls
• Blog and preferential directory listings
• Profile customisations
• Much, much more....

To make it simple to understand the different levels of membership, attached to this post is a PDF document detailing all four membership levels and all the benefits to VIP members.

No they come with A1 Member levels and above...

To become an A1 member you need at least 15 posts..

It says 'preferential directory listings' which makes it sound like you don't have to be a member to submit a listing, yet when I tried it said I don't have permission. What are the rules for access for non-members?

[openmind]

You need to be an A1 member as a minimum level to post a link to the directory. This means a minimum of 15 valid posts.

The VIP membership allows you to add a link straight away and it is then floated to the top of the category listing...

ah ok thanks Phil. I couldn't find that info anywhere in the Rules section but maybe it's too early in the morning for me to have noticed

I will be updating the guidelines but it's in the PDF attachment in the first post on this thread...
