Redstricted access for joint members

The CC response in March re this problem was the following:

Good afternoon Mayesderek.

I am sorry to hear you are having a problem, it is all down to the email address that you have registered against your membership number , we can only register one email on your membership details, feel free to call anytime and change the email address on the membership records, once we have changed, you can they re register the new email.

Kind regards 

Kimberley

To be frank I do not see the problem. If there are two of you share an e mail address and password.

Shared e mail address! You must be joking! No employee of mine was allowed a shared email address!  Too much sensitive data!  Email should be personal!!

The sort of total cop-out I have come to expect of the CC. I had hoped that when I came back to this forum recently I should find that the faults which drove me away had been fixed. I suppose I should not be surprised really.

That might suit some people but I would expect it is a minority which has been becoming smaller for several years. Many families these days have multiple Internet connected devices which they use simultaneously.

So where is the problem in obtaining a new e-mail address that you both share and is used to log into the CC forum? Both of you and also any other family members who need to be involved in caravaning. You can register that email address with C&CC as well, and any other site you want.

All these "multiple internet connected devices" you mention allow for combining emails into a single box. Set up properly you will not even see a join.

We, the boss (Mrs P) and I have a joint email address that we use for joint things like holidays, CC, Utilities etc. It also serves as a spam filter from out personal accounts.

But then, shock horror, we have a joint bank account too

It's over 40 years since I sent my first e-mail so I do understand the mechanisms Indeed, I already have three e-mail addresses as a result of voluntary work I do (my wife has only one). Adding another e-mail address (which would have no other purpose) just to suit the vagaries of the CC's inadequate computer systems would be too tiresome.

And if we both wish to make (separate) comments on this forum (as we do on other fora of joint interest) what then?

 

Reading a thread a few minutes ago I wanted to check up on a CL but to do so had to sign out and then sign in again as our membership is in my wife's name so I cannot see CL details when signed in as myself. I then had to sign out/in again to comment on the thread.

 

I am not sure why you had to log in and out of each account. You should be able to log into both accounts simultaneously on the same device. We certainly can both log on at the same time on our single account. If you open a separate browser window and select the CC site, won't it let you log on to another account?

I think I have answered my own question. It only seems possible if you use a different browser.
