Hey Alan, I signed up for supporting member, hopefully I did it correctly. I love this OGR Forum, it’s so information friendly on most every topic of model railroading. If digital comes with this subscription, that’s fantastic. Happy Railroading Everyone.

See, just by looking at a few things over the course of a week or weeks, you follow someone new. One thing I'm having trouble doing is keeping up on topics. I think I have about four things that I haven't gotten back to besides work right now. Catch you all back at lunch(unless some other topic steals me away). 😁
Thank you so much, Dave, for your kind words, which are heart warming for me. My overriding goals when I post topics is to entertain, say something that I believe will be interesting about model railroading, and promote the Forum, OGR Magazine and the Greatest Hobby in the World. Arnold

Hi Larry....the supporting member does not include a digital subscription, sorry my friend. Oh, and by the way, your digital subscription ended in July just in case you missed the renewal letter I sent out in an email blast a few days ago.
Thanks!
Alan,
Is there a physical address to which we can just mail you a check?
(Would prefer not to put my credit card data into the internet stratosphere too much.)

Yes!! You have a couple of choices. If you are worried about security, we use the latest in that technology and so does our processor (Authorize.net) so if you want, you can do this using the link. If not, then you can call me personally and I will get it done for you through our secure phone. AND, if neither of those appeal to you, then you can mail it to our address: OGR Publishing Inc., 1310 Eastside Centre Court Ste. 6, Mountain Home, AR. 72653 (no guarantee that the mail will get here quickly 
). Frankly, I don't send any payments through the mail anymore since between the bank, credit card company, processor, and our secure website, combined provide as safe a place to do business as one could find most anywhere.
Thanks!
Thanks Alan,
Really interesting that you are headquartered in Mountain Home, Arkansas. I lived in Memphis for 28 years, and went to Mountain Home 5 or 6 times for the festival. What a gorgeous place it is.

I have not written a check for ANYTHING for at least two years. Online purchases, utility bills, house payments, doctor bills, license plates, and even groceries are all done online now.
This is no reason these days to fear using a credit card on the internet.
Hi Alan, I now understand, please re-send me the link to join the digital magazine, thank you very much. Happy Railroading
Larry, just go to our web site at ogaugerr.com. Everything is there.
Thank you Rich, I’ll do that, I’m very happy you reached out with that information. I will be ordering your book on the NKP 765 next week. Happy Railroading
Thanks for the input Rich.
Perhaps you don't remember that Bank of America, with the highest security available and in place, was hacked 10 years ago, and the hackers stole all of the credit card info, bank account info, and personal data of more than a half million people. And you know what Bank of America said?
"Oh, . . . we're SO sorry."
I'm not really concerned with the OGR security systems, I'm sure they are top notch, but mine are not! :-)

I’m in. This forum is well worth it.
Anyone know how I find out when I was last sent a magazine? I remember renewing, but it seems like I haven’t seen a new mag in a very long time.
Log into your subscription account, Scrambler. All the info is there.

Chris...I checked your account and the reason why you haven't received a print issue for a while is that your print subscription ended in March.... Since you have a digital sub, when you go into your account you will see that it says your print is expired. If you need assistance, feel free to contact me via phone if that works better for you or by email.
Thanks!

Thanks for your support and understanding!
Yeah I noticed the change right in the middle of my day. One good thing which I can say is both good and bad is that everyone's replies get rolled into the last replied person. So, instead of having 12 replies it clears it and revises it into the most recent. At least I guess that is what you call it. The thing that bugs me about that is the color. It is harder to read as it is not white with black lettering but an off color email entirely.

From what I've seen in the short time with your posts(me piggy backing from someone else on your topics) is that they are always fun and engaging. It is always good to ask great questions and even illustrate what is going on in an entertaining way. I doubt anyone that knows you would argue against that.
I just signed up as a supporting member. How do I download/print my certificate?

Rick...the reason why we don't do this is because the processor charges a fee AND PayPal would add their fee. Give me a call if you don't want to use your credit card on our website and I will help you. Just so you know, our website uses the highest level of security.
Done. Glad to join as the Forum has been great for me. I've learned a lot and have made a lot of friends thru the Forum. And in this era of social distancing, it is even more important.
Gerry
Done!
Peter
This is my go-to website whenever I go online. No politics, no BS. Just an enjoyable experience. Glad to contribute.
I have joined as a supporter of OGR. Why? Because I like the printed magazine and I enjoy reading it from cover to cover when it comes. I have had my subscription to OGR from day one! Also, when I open up the forum (on line), there is an advertising section on the first page. I have bought from many of the advertisers. The Menards advertisement gets me right to the update account of "whats new" at Menards. Looks like I will be buying a few more cars from Menards. There "new" tank-cars are really sharp. They seem to be in "O" Scale. One very interesting fact about ALL railroad cars that Menards sells is they have a different number on each one. This means, if you can only afford one or two cars from Menards right now, and come back later on to buy the same car, It Will Have A Different Number On It. Evidentially, Menards keeps an inventory on every rail car they sell and never repeats the number. Also, all freight cars that Menards sells are printed on every side. EG: The small single dome tank car has printing on every side and end, plus the 4 little blank spots for putting a label on it that read flammable, etc usually have that label on it. Pretty snazzy for a train car that cost me only $17.80
Sincerely yours, railbear601
Good to see you on this post Peter. I hope you and your family are well.
Peter wrote one of the best comments on the benefits of the Forum years ago, when he said that it enabled him to become friends with people all across the country. I totally agree. And Peter even took it a step further by starting his York breakfasts. So TY to OGR and Peter for being enablers! I will miss York this year. At least I have the NJHR.
Gerry
While I've not been active on the Forum for few years, I do look in from time to time. For the past 11 years the Forum has been for me a great source of information, insight and fun/fantastic photos! Hopefully, I'll have more time to devote to the hobby in the next year or so and I hope to still see a vibrant Forum up and running then, so I'm adding my Support now to help insure that.
Great idea! I'm in!
Done! In my opinion this is a very small price to pay for the vast amount of knowledge shared here!

CAN'T GO WRONG FOR A DOLLAR A MONTH.

Quick question ,if i pay by check will my supporting membership be deducted automatically from my checking account every year ?, or will i get a renewal notice in the mail ?

Guys...I deleted all if not most of the discussion unrelated to the purpose of this thread. If you have general questions about your other subscriptions ( print or digital ) then don't use this thread to post those questions. You can contact info@ogaugerr.com OR post your question in the tech support category.
By the way, if you will go to your subscription account, you will see next to and to the right of the type of subscription you have a bold yellow "auto-renew". You can click on it and change it if you so desire. If it is not there, then it is not set for "auto-renew".
What $12 will get you approximately.
• ¼ oz of Starbuck’s coffee
• Lunch at Chili’s
• 30” MTH Real Trax
• 45-degree cross of Real Trax
• A box of used Tubular Track
• A Lionel Hallmark Ornament
• 12 Track Clips
• 2 Big Mac Meals
• 3 York Funnel Cakes
• 12 Trips to the York Men’s room (if you are a generous tipper)
• 2 Subway footlongs and a drink
I can't imagine the cost, time, and resources it takes to operate a forum this size with so many page views and bandwidth use but if a $1 a month helps I'll be happy to support OGR's forum. I know a lot of the time we take for granted what the forum provides in way of content, access to most if not all of the vendors and sponsors, as well as something that is priceless and that is the exchange of personal experience and detailed information. If you got 1 piece of information or advice that has saved you $12 on a shipping an item, parts for an item, a repair or any other aspect of the hobby think about becoming a supporting member. I've probably saved that 20 times over. I guess being a member for over 20 years and knowing what I have gotten out of being here kinda makes me a bit passionate about returning the favor.
Off the soap box.
Marty, you are absolutely right!!

To paraphrase those credit card commercials, “membership in the OGR Forum... priceless”!!!
But I do have to take issue with one item in your list - I already have the 2020 annual Hallmark Lionel ornaments... $12 doesn’t cover even the plastic caboose - all are $19.99 
P.S. and you forgot the partridge in a pear tree

I became a supporting member about 2 weeks ago. Great forum for knowledge and questions for something you need to find out about.
Besides, OGR has been very grateful to our club supporting our continuing thread under the announcements section. We have not done much in the past 7 months due to us closing the doors temporarily. We do hope to return to our club in mid-October to restart our layout building process on the HO and O gauge layouts.
Thank you Alan, Allen and Rich.
@MartyE posted:What $12 will get you approximately.
To touch more on this from what Marty said above. Think of going into a library wanting to find a specific book, author or such and all these hands point you directly to what you are looking for. Naturally it doesn't stop there, the pages turn where your eyes want to go and you find what you have been looking for all this time.
Just think about all the sage advice whether it is electronic, general engine maintenance (model I mean), track design, real knowledge railroad knowledge asked for so you can model it accurately, the list goes on.
I'll never forget following GRJ to see a topic about the Atlantic Steam engines design flaw. How the wires could go into the flywheel killing the engine. That is just one small thing that avoided a repair that would have had me rip some of my hair out.
There are so many more things that heck I wouldn't even know where to begin on. So, to sum up, well worth the price of admission to get a full satisfying show.
The Forum, and the many wonderful Forum Members, have been great for these many years. So, a contribution to the Forum is a very appropriate.
Please take a few moments and read the update that I have posted in my initial announcement of the Supporting Membership opportunity.
Thanks!
I signed up last week. Everyone should support this great forum
Well 1% down and 9% to go.

I say 1% down and 99% to go.
While a goal of 10% when you are currently at 1% is commendable, I was always taught to strive and set my goals as high as possible. Where are the other 99% of Forum members? Even though I'm retired, and on a fixed income without a pension, I see $12 bucks a year for what this forum offers as a great deal.
I wonder how many of the remaining 99% are actually active in reading and/or posting here? I would think that a goal of 100% of the active forum members could be achievable.

Happy to support the forum with this token amount of money (at least for those lucky to not be in trouble with all the current challenges). I know money is tight for many, so I hope at least 10% of the active readers of the forum will be able to make this contribution.
Unquestionably the best $12 I’ve spent in recent memory. Just a few benefits of the OGR Forum I have found…
I’ve already received more than my money’s worth... where do I sign up again???
This forum is an encyclopedia of knowledge with regard to model railroading. It's amazing the help various members have been without being judgmental and if anything have been very encouraging . The $12 along with the cost of a digital subscription are a great deal.

Well, it's almost impossible to believe that anyone who can afford to be in this hobby can't afford to cough up a buck a month to support the Forum (not to mention these are folks who also can afford to have a computer and be paying for internet service). 12 bucks a year is considerably less than the price of two 6-packs, don't you know.
At $.50 a month you’re only halfway there to $12. 😜But I agree with your point about it being a minimal cost. But some people are really really tight for money right now, and I wouldn’t want to seem lacking in empathy.
Tried to pay, but it renews automatically. How do I do it without that feature?
1% only? This topic has had over 4k views(does reoccurring visits by the same person count again). This makes me a bit sad.
I would have thought that the number would have been substantially higher. You hear the phrase, "What are you doing to support the hobby?", well, here is one great reason, for hardly anything at all, and the returns are way more than 10 fold, however many fold. Why sit on the fence with something so obvious?
Everyday the traffic here on the forum is a s&&& ton, need a Big Boy or Y6 to haul it. Just think about the multitude of topics that are churning that you follow, and the ones you don't. I can't even think of a percentage of what I don't follow because I see who I follow comment on a topic, and there is a good percentage that I will check it out a few times(especially if there are others I follow commenting along). Some could probably find that annoying, but what if the information that is passing through grabs your mind and you realize it is helpful to you?
Yeah, I know it sounds like I am standing on some sort of soapbox(would break) about the benefits. Well, yeah. Like I said somewhere back when, I saw someone else comment elsewhere, and then here. Well, all it took was for me to get home and pop $12 in on my end. This is better than playing the lottery twice a week, 52 weeks a year. Lottery chances aren't good to begin with, you may get a buck here or there, and not win big. Here though, you are going to a 6 Star Restaurant, and getting a 5 course meal for basically nothing.
All I can say is keep the food coming, and when is dessert.
@Jim Van Every posted:Tried to pay, but it renews automatically. How do I do it without that feature?
You can't do it without the auto-renew feature. The system is designed for auto-renewal because that is almost universal these days.
You'll get an email a week or two before your membership comes up for renewal. You can opt out of the auto-renewal then, if you wish. However, if you opt out of the auto-renew, you will not get any more renewal emails to remind you that your membership is about to expire.
@Jim Van Every posted:Tried to pay, but it renews automatically. How do I do it without that feature?
Once you are a supporting member, you can cancel the auto renew in the supporting member section of this site.
@Jim Van Every posted:Tried to pay, but it renews automatically. How do I do it without that feature?
Like said above, you have several options and once you make your purchase, you will have access to features in which you can uncheck the auto renew.
I placed my certificate in a frame and it is hanging on the wall in my Train Room. I had to make a minor change because the print had my credit card name on the certificate.
Yes: my alias is “Train Room Gary”. Look for my certificate proudly displayed on my YouTube Channel where several thousand model railroaders will see my support for the OGR Forum.
Hope all YouTubers do the same. Gary 🚂

Thanks for the correction. I went back and changed it so it didn't look so stupid. I find higher math challenging.
Alan,
Idle curiousity more than anything - but does the total of supporting members include or exclude those who, like me, have opted out of automatic renewal? I fully intend to renew next year, I just don't like auto-renewal.

Thanks for this forum. I've used it a lot and it's a great source for 1.) Quick answers to what's troubling you in your train room, 2.) Brotherhood, 3.) Psychological therapy for MTH's recent announcement, 4.) Great, creative ideas, 5.) reassurance you aren't crazy (even though you are) because you have a room full of toys and gadgets that you've spent a ridiculous amount of money on over a long period of time.

We're at 297 as of this post. Can we get to 300 by end of day?
Make it 298 
I singed up last month or so. Got my credit card bill this month, $12 charge with a wired name, of course i did not put the two together. Called the 800 number on the credit card bill and the recording went through a list of possible merchants and the magazine was listed. Maybe i will remember next year.
I might be 299 or lucky 300.
Hi I joined as a "supporting Member" a week ago and never received my email with the certificate that I could print.

OK Mine was a link in the receipt. I see Rich previously posted this link after the folks at Crowdstack changed the procedure.
I think 300 is pretty pathetic. Just ask the people that have had their problems solved; $12 wouldn't even get their problem to a tech, and that is just one example of the benefits of this forum.
@John H posted:I think 300 is pretty pathetic. Just ask the people that have had their problems solved; $12 wouldn't even get their problem to a tech
While I hope folks realize the overwhelming benefits of this forum and it's worth and consider supporting it, it's hard to say what people's situation is especially during the last few months. I agree though, I hope more that are able will become supporting members.
Marty,
We're talking 300 out of 25,000. I realize there are people struggling, and have great sympathy towards them. But I'm sure there are more than 300 on this forum that are comfortably retired or not monetarily affected by this pandemic. I don't think it is a hobby of the 22 million that lost their jobs, or the countless others that live paycheck to paycheck. Of course, this is just my opinion, and I hope I offend some enough to send in the $12.
I think I might be 300'.. I didn't realize it is only a One Dollar per month... Not a problem.. But those that cannot afford another expense, I understand completely. I would say though, I always see plenty of guests... that enjoy this forum. It would be helpful if they joined and contributed in supporting the forum they enjoy'...

John;
That 25,000 figure is really very misleading... what we really have to consider is 300 out of how many “active” members. Every so often, I find myself in an old thread and see a lot of avatars/screen names I don’t recognize, so I take a look at there profile (I’ll have to see if Crowdstack changed that too!!!) - often I find individuals who haven’t visited in over 5 years, but they are still in that 25,000 number.
That being said, I really hope that many more of the “active” and even regular visitors will consider becoming Supporting Members. I’m sure they have already received (and will continue to) more than $12 of value from being here.
Oh well must of delegated the receipt if it when to junk mail. Any way a certificate would of been nice, but helping the OG Forum and saying thank you is what really counts. Love the forum as I am on in several times a day.
Thanks RonH
I figure I get my money’s worth from Stan2004 and Gunrunnerjohn’s posts alone, , plus all the others that have helped me out tremendously. Thanks to you all, and that includes the eyes behind the screen that make this all possible.
Could you add PayPal to the list of payment methods?
That was asked earlier and the answer was no. Fees....
Do you get a fancy certificate?
I had trouble getting my certificate. I got it by clicking on the link in my receipt that I found in my junk mail. I had to log on but was not successful. It said my e-mail address did not exist, even though I have been a customer (subscriber) for 25 years. So I entered my name and address and then I got my e-mail receipt. I clicked on "certificate" and it was there. Weird but this was the process for me. I clicked on it and downloaded as a PDF.
OGRR, take note, why make it so complicated?
Iron Horse, I'm sorry you had a problem, but I can assure you that the process is very simple. It's just two clicks for most people.
The fact that the email went to your junk mail folder is where the problem started for you. You were not properly registered or logged in. It could have been a cookie problem in your browser.
The bottom line? You got your certificate and we thank you for becoming a supporting member! Now go get a frame for that certificate!
@trainser15 posted:Could you add PayPal to the list of payment methods?
In a word, no. The Crowdstack Pay software does not support using PayPal.
I hear you, Rich. Just like the vast tips from the pros that are here, I am just trying to save my O gauge brothers time if they run into the same issue I did. The real benefit of this forum is to make life easier and to help our friends navigate the O gauge world. I am looking forward to framing that puppy!
I received a receipt. Not sure what link to click on to retrieve the certificate?...?

There are several links. I tried all of them. 3 of them bring back to the forum. The rest take you to Crowdstack... No mention or indication of a certificate'???
