Magazine subs promos

oldhamtj

OK, so nothing to do with the website - except that the promos for subscribing to the magazines via the website are nothing like the promos in the mags!

I like the road mags and have been tempted to subscribe but the current promos - free gear, essentially - aren't that helpful to me. I did wonder about the pedals on offer in Procycling but the Altura winter gear in CyclingPlus doesn't add much to what I've already got esp as accident/surgery/etc have stopped me even considering going out in the ice - the titanium plates in my face haven't quite set yet

But the offers haven't changed from Dec to Jan (er, magazine issues Jan to Feb, given the month-offset that all magazines seem to run on these days). What can we expect in the spring?

PS Why no ability to use a nickname on the site? Or am I missing something in the profile?

nicklouse

what do you mean by nickname?

your user ID is a Nickname?

oldhamtj

Nah, my userid is my userid, not a nickname. It can be anything, but why should you use your userid as a display name?

nicklouse

cause that is what it is.

So if I'd like to see my name displayed as tjo, then I'm stymied. Which begs the original question...why? userid and displayname are usually different profile attributes.

I won't mutter about security stuff and userid disclosure, 'natch.

nicklouse

nope that is just the way it is and is on most forums that i am aware of.

so people know which user they are communicating with.
