GAGB Membership Signup Issues

[Ve8]

Some links pointing at the GAGB forums with regard to the nominations for chairmen have been quoted on emCache.

A few have mentioned they cannot access the GAGB member areas but more worryingly have been previously been unable to upgrade their GAGB account from "Forum User" to "GAGB Member". At first I thought it was down to people being unaware of the membership process but it appears even the membership page is causing issues.

Another symptom seems to be that some GAGB members are also incorrectly displaying the tag "Forum User" - Sven for example has accepted a nomination in the GAGB Members area but is still showing the status "Forum User"

I appreciate there is a joining cut off date for GAGB Members to participate in the elections but I question if the elections should be proceeded with while these technical problems exist. Its clearly blocking some users from taking part in the process.

[EDIT] Looks like I'm also tagged as a "Forum User"?
