G1MRA membership

[Brian T]

Hi Guys,

I'm hoping there are some g1mra members here that know whats happening in the attached screen shot please...

Right...i was just about to join the g1mra as i'm venturing back into 1/32 modeling,anyhow i'd almost finshed my online membership form and noticed the pink banner in the picture. (which is also at the bottom of the form)

Now those of us of a certain age will know what 'Nonce' refers too..

Are the g1mra aware of this ,or has the site been hacked /altered in any way.
I was going to contact them directly but there's no option for attachments.

Cheers,
Brian Tovey.

I've just gone through the 'join' process and didn't get this message on the form,

[Brian T]

Will try a different oayment method.
Cheers

"Nonce' refers to a 'number used once' and is part of a Wordpress security system to prevent hacking.

So nothing untoward is going on then.?

Mmm, they didn’t think that one through!

Sounds like a two nations divided by a common language issue.

 

[Brian T]

All done, have joined ... !!

Rather like the question………is ir rude to stare and read a persons tattoos IF yes….what's their purpose of having them on view?

Many years ago as a junior clerk in a firm that offered cooperage services I was required to calculate “stopping without starting” charges which lacked logic at the time. Specialist terminology can bewilder the non technical person…

I wondered why I've never had anything to do with Wordpress

The Gauge 1 association does have some rather interesting STL files for 3d printing, which are available to non-members, and can be rescaled to suit another scale.

Thanks for the alert, Brian.
G1MRA's system guys say it's a Wordpress message, beyond either their immediate control or their web-service provider's.
By definition, existing G1MRA members never see it.

Accidental homonyms are an inescapable industry hazard - I recall Yahoo! losing a lot of European customers when it unwittingly applied a Nazi tag to a widely-used product, and wouldn't back down.

My feeling is that Nonce won't be around for much longer.​

No worries David and thank you.

I'm a bit suspicious of the ole interweb's and was brought up to question everything and trust nothing...

Cheers,
Brian..

I suspect that it's here Simon. A bit of a misnomer to refer to the G1 Association!

Thanks Dave,

there are some interesting bits & pieces on there, worth a print to see.

Tim,

thanks for the heads-up.

cheers

Surely only a teeny bit of a misnomer, Simon?

It's organised by G1MRA members and sports the G1MRA Logo ​

But importantly it's open to all enthusiasts, not just G1MRA members.​

Here's the corresponding support forum:

home groups.io Group

*The Gauge One 3D circle is a discussion group for railway modellers working to a track gauge of 1 3/4 inches or 45mm who are interested in modern manufacturing technologies. The* *group aims are * *(I) to share expertise in all forms of Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing as applied to...

gaugeone3dcircle.groups.io

which deals with all forms of digital modelling and control (some in more detail than others).

Be aware that What You See is What You Get - like G1MRA itself, it cheerfully embraces all standards of modelling from Flintstones to Museum.

All here are very welcome

It wasn’t Simon who used that description, it was me and I’ll stand by it. Tim’s post stated “The Gauge 1 association does have some rather interesting STL files for 3d printing, which are available to non-members, and can be rescaled to suit another scale.”
The Gauge 1 3D Circle has the website and files linked to. There are obviously members common to both groups but the G1MRA doesn’t host the files.
