@Schmiggz and
@gotdirt410sp and anyone else wondering.
Not one member of TEAM SNAIL , from the highest, to the not so highest,
is being
paid a
red cent to work on anything related to SNAIL. We do the jobs we do in SNAIL, because we can, and want to see those jobs done. Right or wrong, we want to see those jobs are done. SNAIL is not a service. SNAIL is a privilege.
At the moment, I am monitoring the club memberships while at work. It's troublesome, and at some point will be even more so, if NETSEC decides to block the site again. When, or if, they do that, I will be relegated to trying to monitor club traffic from my phone, or wait until I get home, as JLBowler said.
These, some think epic, TLDR posts I make during weekdays can take me hours to get done since work interupts my efforts more than frequently and sometimes those interuptions are long enough in duration that I get logged out of GTPlanet entirely and some, or all, of whatever post I'm working on (like this one, which I'm actually finishing up off the clock) is lost. Thank goodness for the auto-save draft feature
@Jordan had built in to this version of
. It's saved my sanity more times than once. I suppose I could save this as a draft now and finish it at home, but, once I get there, I have other things to do and may not get back to doing SNAIL stuff until late tonight. At any rate, while it may appear to some that I lurk about generating epic posts for the edification of Snails, I am not at your beck and call. I will also not battle with laziness to help. Ignorance is curable.
Now, on to curing some ignorance;
I just went through all the messages, member and invite list and can find no evidence of messages from a Schmiggz or a gotdirt410sp, either lower case or upper. You both, and anyone else (
@tezgm99 ) needing to send a message, need to log in here
https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/ , click the Community button in the upper right of the window and enter your PSN ID credentials. On the My Page screen click the Public Profile Settings button. Make sure your Messaging with Non-Friends is checked as shown in the picture below.
After you check the box, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Change Settings button.
This setting can also be changed on the PS3 in the GT6 game's Community Profile page.
The reason I'm asking those players (who had invites fail) to send a GT6 Community message is so I can accurately enter their PSN ID in the invite without having to guess if an I is an l or another character is upper or lower case. Once that is correct, the only other reason I know of for an invite failure is that setting pictured above. There may be others I am unaware of however.
I'm not sure how the others who's invites first failed, managed to send a message to the SNAIL [Spec] Racing club under the SNAIL_SpecRacing PSN account but, 6 of them have managed to do so and have joined the Club.
@Mike Lobban 's registered SNAIL PSN is completely different than what we were able to get joined up to the club, but, he managed to get a message through and I was able to successfully invite using the PSN ID from that message, and he was able to successfully join.
On the website linked above, here is what it looks like to join a club. I'm using pictures from the RCS club that I just joined using the website interface, since I am 15 miles away from my PS3.
This picture shows the invite from Grim in the Messages area.
This picture shows what I clicked on, once I opened the message, to go to the Club's page.
This picture shows the Join Club button I will click to join the RCS club.
This picture shows the dialogue box after clicking the Join Club button. After clicking OK here you should get a Success or Failure message.
This interface can be reached with almost any browser on any PC, tablet or smartphone. The only device I haven't tried it on yet is my Kindle Fire.
Clicking that Join Club button and OK in the confirmation dialogue boxes that follow, completes your membership entry to any club.
So, now I'm off to go home and set forth on those tasks my wife has set for me to do, in support of the holiday celebrations, try and mix in getting some SNAIL Steward stuff done, and maybe, just maybe, run some of those Club Time Trials before 3 in the morning and getting 3 hours of sleep before I have to get up and get back to whatever else the next day holds.
I honestly don't know how the folks who had invites fail got their messages to SNAIL [Spec] Racing. Since I plan to remain ignorant in that regard, others will have to approach them to find out how they did it. Might take some reading.
Until my next TLDR post, which is likely to be the Steward Summary, later.
