Quanta subscription

[cybervet]

Hi I payed a subscription to Quanta through paypal but I did not receive any login info so I can get into the site.
Any info as to what I should do will be greatly appreciated.

I've never logged into the site myself. Did you go for the electronic copy or magazine copy?

[cybervet]

in the site you can have access to the database and maybe? some past editions of quanta magazine , I did sign for the electronic copy.

The only thing i received so far is the paypal payment confirmation mail and the only form I could find on the site is a snail mail membership form, so I am lost.

Quanta doesn't seem to be that firm with computers, apparently

If I were you, I'd approach known Quanta members like Dilwyn Jones - He might be able to help you forward or at least point you to somebody who can.

Regards,
Tobias

I've brought the original message posted here to the attention of the Quanta Membership Secretary and Webmaster.
If Tassos would like to contact them direct about the problems he is experiencing, he can send an email to the Membership Secretary: membership AT quanta DOT org DOT uk
or webmaster at: webmaster AT quanta DOT org DOT uk

Ok problem solved, I got an email.

What can you do when you log in? I might have to ask for mine

I didn't think that they had ever got around to a members only area - presumably the log on at the moment, is only for people with access to the CMS to update the site?

I got initial contact and not the login details yet.
According to the site members have access to the database of QL programs maintained by Quanta, "in addition to the magazine, QUANTA has a large library of software, currently standing at over 900 programs written mostly by members. This is not Public Domain, as it is only available to members.
Details of programs in the library are kept in a database.
Copies of the database and Library Guide (disk LG01) are available from the Librarian, or to download from this section of the website. Non-members are welcome to download the Library Guide disk, to get an idea of what Quanta has to offer."

it would be an unpleasant surprise if this is not the case.
in addition members should be able to have access to past issues of quanta magazine (e-form) but I might be wrong on that.
