Not really an issue here, just a suggestion looking at premium membership given some recent confusion on my part about not being able to post pictures.
I am not really so clear on what comes with premium membership and I think making it more clear through just using the site would help drive those memberships for you a bit. I'm sure it's all listed somewhere on a page but you'd have to seek that out.
For example, instead of there just not being a button for picture upload as if it's not possible, how about we all see one but clicking it as a standard member gives a message about needing premium? I believe (but not sure to be honest) PMs also don't really explain this. Likewise, I think the tech articles are just invisible to standard members, rather than being able to see them but not view the threads? Again could be wrong on that.
I think the tech articles in particular are a bit of a hook for the site, I think it would be better to be able to see the topics. (My personal opinion is to leave them open to standard members too just to add to reasons to stick around and use the forum but I know the club recently decided not to).
I'm sure there are some other features of premium that I'm missing, but I think the gist of what I'm saying is clear. Let the site naturally show you what you're missing.
Some of the above may not be possible without major work though, I get that... Also conscious of the fact that there's been a lot of (appreciated) good change here recently done by the sole site admin and this would be even more volunteer work for them! Just wanted to make the suggestion anyway though.
