Good Morning Chris

I cannot find it on their website, either!

The only reference to the FWW Magazine Archive that I can find is an offer to sell it to me at US$99, which is $20 dearer than the special offer of $79 that they keep sending!

But I subscribe to their digital and print magazine services. This gives me online access to their digital archive, online access to virtually all books that FWW has published and to their video workshops. No where can I find a way to download an update to their digital archive.

The limitations on the online access are:

• I cannot access it once my subscription runs out,
• I cannot access if I am not online (eg during NBN black outs.)

Could you give a specific reference to where they "......offer a 1-year ($19.95) and a 2-year ($39.95) "upgrade" to the archive....." ?


Cheers

1-year is here:
https://www.tauntonstore.com/2018-fi...1-year-upgrade
2-year is here;
https://www.tauntonstore.com/2018-fine-woodworking-archive-2-year-upgrade.html


Note the 20% offer at the top of the page.

BTW, I never referred to a download, as you did.
(and I obviously don't know how to turn off the underlining after a URL)

Interesting indeed...

I now have access to the online archive, and the problem pages are just the same in it.
But I can't find a pdf printing function (a very clumsy user interface overall!)
Can you tell me how to print a pdf please?

Hi Chris

After you have downloaded the PDF, just click on the three litttle dots on to top right hand corner. A menu will pop down and this includes the print function, among others.

Agree their website and their search engine are a bit primative.

First I need to download the pdf - that's what I was wanting to know. i can't see a pdf button.
Update: I think you must be downloading the pdf from the subscription service, rather than the online archive, which is all i have access to. My mistake.

I have now received the 2018 archive DVD, and the images on the problem pages I started the thread with are just the same.
I have received a refund but no explanation.
