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?

You can both post on here in your own name but only one as a member. Not sure what secrets you have that means you canmot share a password for an e mail address for bookings and the like.

It's nothing to do with secrets (we both know each others e-mail details) but about having software that is fit for purpose.

Sorry but the system works and I do not see the problem. It is simply not worth spending more on the system to get that done , we do not need perfection just a working system.

Judging by the number of threads/posts about problems with the CC software I'm not sure that it can be said that the system works Smile

We have been told many times in staff posts that new systems are to be implemented. Whilst making changes to an existing system might be costly, designing in features from the start attracts nothing like the same level of costs.

In my naivety I thought that those new systems might be in place when I returned to this forum after more than a year of leaving it through frustration with the software Smile

I am not computer savy but just want this to work simply and easily. I have never had any problem working with he site but appreciate that it could do more but do not see what it would achieve.

Before I retired we worked with systems that did everything concievable because everything was offered to us. Having got it we discovered that there was far too much for us to actually have time to use so it was far more expensive than we needed and what was required was simpler and cheaper. My feeling is this is probably the same. Yes it could do a lot more but do we actualy need it.

Hi all,

Sorry for your shared frustrations but as noted already the registration process works on 1 email and password covering a Membership. Anyone can use those details to access the membership (if details shared, of course) but it will be under the "lead" member's name. All bookings, quotes, amendments etc. made online are for the Membership not the individual. We changed this set up as when different emails were linked to a Membership we found lead and joint members making amendments to their bookings/ profile simultaneously causing all manner of issues.

A joint member can register a second email address for the purpose of browsing and posting on Club Together in their own right.

You can speak to our Web Team at any time if the set up on your profile is incorrect or needs changing. We'd be happy to help.

And finally from me in response to mhparking we are still awaiting the release of our new improved website.. hopefully in the coming weeks... watch this space!

Kind regards,

Helen

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
