Redstricted access for joint members

I know this has been discussed a long time ago (well over a year ago) but don't have time to search all past posts to find it.

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 was certain that the CC had pledged to remove this silly restriction when it was discussed previously but obviously that hasn't happened yet. Is it just another example of the software employed by the CC not being fit for purpose and still not being replaced after all this time or something permanent?

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 Tongue Out

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

Weve not had any problems both logging in to the CC website at the same time on different devices in different locations.

I use forums more than she, but I don't do facebook so Mrs P has her own account.

So as my OH is the lead member but doesn't post on the forum nor book any sites, if he changes the email address on his profile to my email address, will I be able to login as the lead member ? Or will the system only recognise one email address per registered member ? Would that work ?

I'm not sure I understand that. Are you saying that two people can log on, using different devices, at the same time using the same e-mail address? Seems strange.

Even so, that does not overcome the problem of two people posting to the forum in their own names. With a single login one couldn't tell who had posted which comment.

The lead member has full privileges but the joint member (with a separate login) has restricted privileges. You could use your OH's login but any CT posts you made would be attributed to him not you.

This is the same situation as ours. But I really don't want to post on CT in my husband's name, and I'm sure he doesn't want me to either! He never uses the CT forum. To use the forum, I've simply registered as a non member. The only difference is it doesn't state "member" on my profile photo, not bothered one bit about that.

My OH is the lead member so bookings have to be done on his log in (I do them) but I registered as a member (joint member) when signing up for CT, I'm sure it comes up on my avatar as member.

Edit: yes it doesSmile

Unless they put their name (or Forum pseudo-name) on the post as some people do.

Yes, that would work. However, my background in IT development tells me that software should be fit for purpose, not require users to find workarounds for simple tasks which the software should take care of Smile

Yes that's what we do.

I hope the security surrounding transactional processing like bookings is rather better than much of the software then Smile
