Well lets ask them again - can't see why they won't.

Fair enough but unlike you I can always find my recent copy of Sprint.
Not true --I called them last week "oi wheres my Sprint"--We will post you another one.
I've got two now
Hi,
The reasons why the password is not emailed out by the webmaster;
1) The webmaster does not have a list of current TVRCC members and so cannot verify that the email is from a member.
2) The webmaster is not in the employ of the TVRCC and is not be paid to perform such services for the members.
Its not all bad news, ring the club office and they will sort out any problems.
Cheers
Richard

just grabbed the February issue of sprint: the old password on black background, the new one on red - neither of which work.
Frankly, I don't understand this password policy: one password for all, printed in the TVRCC magazine, that's security through obscurity, if secure at all.
If there is really a need for protection (I did not see any top secret stuff) why can't we either:
- mail all members (the TVRCC has got a user database I reckon), that's done by the TVRCC, not the webmaster (or someone who volunteers)
- set up a proper system with password protection, I'd be happy to help.
Edited to say the new password works

Glad to hear the password works for you...
The TVRCC does not have a database of email sddresses yet... if it did things could be done differently...
Would it not be easier if we could log in using our own name and our membership number? That way the club would also get a good idea of how many and who uses the site.
Have to agree with the others that I don't use the members area anywhere near as much as I could as I tend not to have Sprint handy at all times, especially in the office which is where I normally log in from.

Yes it would, we asked the web designer a few months ago, unfortunately the off the shelf package that the website is built in cannot do it.

I have cookies enabled for the website and NEVER have to enter a password or user id except when they change. The TVRCC site uses cookies in the same way as the PH site to enable automatic login each time you enter the site. Are you deleting the cookies or refusing to accept them?
