I think it would be helpful if a current member notation was included next to a posters name on this forum.

I still get issues of Dirt Rag on my Zinio App? Does that mean I'm still an active member?  Smiley

I did not know a person could POST unless they were a "dues up-to-date" member. If so, I agree that a notation should be made on the POST.  Why pay 39.00 if anyone can post and do everything a Paid member can do.

This is one way every single trail user can "give back to the trails". Most can also help physically on the trails as well, but everyone can be a member.

Renewed. Glad I saw this as I had it on my non-written down to-do list, which tends to get forgotten for some weird reason.

I see your point but I'm not sure I agree.  I would think this club would want to welcome new people into the community, forums, discussions, events, etc.  That will hopefully encourage people new to this site or to mtn biking in general to get more involved (however they wish).

I would think showing each person's membership status to the left near their avatar would be a status symbol  Wink

Then make that "Member" tag a hyperlink to the registration page.  The easier you make it to join, the higher probability it will happen.

Thanks everyone for responding! But please, keep 'em coming. I'm sure there are many like jonski who have this on their "non-written down to-do list". That's often been the way my renewals have worked too. That's the beauty of the new auto-renew option!

Also, please remind your riding buddies to join/ renew. I try to make a point to ask riders at the trailhead if they are a member and if not, would they please join and hand 'em a tri-fold Trailblazers brochure. Most time folks are just waiting to be asked (or reminded).

Thanks again for your support!

Jim

Finders keepers. 

Actually I’m going out there this afternoon. How will I tell your rogue hoe from the others?

I do like the idea of a badge for current members, not sure how that would work with this ancient forum platform though. On the other hand, it would expose my delinquent ass  Shocked
