No I think JohnD is a member - in this case a red member - and he is looking to upgrade his membership from red to silver.
Not sure if I can answer your question JohnD, but I seem to recall I had a similar issue a while back and it turned out that I didn't have my cookies enabled, or I hadn't put in
http://www.v-flyer.com as allowed to post cookies, or I didn't have the "remember me" box ticked when I logged in. The first two can be changed in tools, internet options I think.
To be honest Pix is the man to deal with the issue - no doubt he will be along soon. Alternatively there are all sorts of computer whizzies round here - maybe they can give better advice. In fact I feel a little silly for having made what are probably totally misguided and ignorant suggestions, when surrounded by such esteemed fellows.[:o)]
