[games_access] IGDA Website Problems

[Ryan Arndt]

there are other options as well, ie if there is a separate site (as some sigs such as WIGSIG do) a redirect can be done.

The issue I am able to deal with is paid member access to SIGs (whether student, core lifetime etc). Free members are not as high up on the list as they do not have a full membership. Its coming together slowly, for sure.

Its a site wide problem with role permissions per membership type that is the bug, and that is being worked on as I type this. Im all for it being solved as I have to edit each member individually, which is not a small bit of work. Thanks for bringing it up and I will keep you posted.

But yes, send paid members who get that evil looking error message if trying to access "members only"  my way and I will help get them sorted.
