    Team,

    I hope this isn't too much of a goofy question but what exactly does the letter in from of the number in ANA Member Numbers. I recently became a member and only have (3130358) as mine. Also there are areas which says I'm not allowed to enter such as Member Logos and NGC.

    Thanks

    Sounds like a mistake, but I'm no expert-my best guess is to email the ANA back and tell them of your problem, then again I would call them, one-on-one wont prolong the problem anymore than necessary.

    Bone -

    The letter in front of the ANA member number means - usually an R which means returning member or an L which means life time member. I'm not sure but I suspect the reason you don't have a letter is because you are a new member. Could be wrong though.

    As for why you cannot access certain areas of the site - it's probably just because they haven't updated the database yet for permissions.

    GDJMSP-

    That could be the case, but I just joined and I got a "J" in front of mine. The probable reason is that I'm a junior member and ANA wants to keep track of this membership more than the RETURNING/ REGULAR member. I would agree that they may not have all updated their database.

    Bone, my number's similar to yours. I first logged in with that number as my user name, and used the temporary password they gave me.

    Yes, I remember now. The number was my temp user name. I logged on and changed it to something else. I'll double check tomorrow with a call. I can log on and search around but there are areas I just can't get into. The lady (really helpful) said they were in the process of installing an internet patch or something so a MAC using OS-X and Safari as the browser can access it better.

    Thanks

    Bone:

    The R indicates that you are a Regular member.
