Miramar Subscriptions

[Holger Jaschob]

Hi guys,

my account expired 20.01.2023.
But got a mail from Miramar one week before to renew my account.
I did so and I have no problem to log-in. It works.
I also ordered a CD last year but didn't receive it up to now.
I sent a mail with my postal address to clarify where they should send the CD.
I'll wait and see.

Regards
Holger

Also got a renewal email, does this keep the account open?

[Manfred]

Yes it does, done it 5 days ago, works as usual.

I feel disinclined to renew my subscription when the database is no longer being updated and while I am still waiting for the CD ROM for which I paid £44 back in November.

[Robert J Smith]

I renewed my subscription a few days ago and Miramar works as normal, thanks Manfred and Holger.
Still a good reference site even if its not being updated any more.

Has anyone ordered and received a CD/ROM yet?

Has anyone ordered and received a CD/ROM yet or received any communication whatsoever from Miramar?

Hi all,

I have received an update on the Miramar situation from Wendy Leahy - Rodger's stepdaughter.

Wendy has given me permission to share her message with the Ship Spotting forum:

“We are committed to keeping the website online. There are certainly no intentions to close Miramar as discussed on the Ship Spotters forum. Because of the rumours of closure Dan has had many more orders for disks than normal, and got a bit overwhelmed by it all. He is visually impaired so it takes a little longer to read through loads of emails.

Dan has had a multitude of problems to overcome since Rodger died. The membership list computer file, with details of email addresses, subscriptions etc. got corrupted somehow. It has now largely been rebuilt from scratch but we still have to go through and make sure that all the payments are reconciled with the members correctly.

There were also problems with pinning down and learning Rodger's procedure to prepare the database for burning to disk, which Daniel has now also sorted out.

Rodger was already planned to change email addresses as he found gmail a bit of a pain, and that has now been set up. The new email address for the website is mira[email protected]. However, the old gmail will remain valid as well.

Once again, my apologies for the long wait you have had and I hope we can get your disk off to you asap. Or arrange a refund if you still wish to take that course.”

Kind regards,
Wendy

Thanks Tobias for this update.

For me it proves all those wrong who lost their faith in any positive developments regarding Miramar.
I renewed my subscription 4 days ago, and also ordered a disc. Now with this message around, I am not in a hurry to receive the disc.

And thanks Wendy for allowing the news to be shared here.

All it needed was a little patience and understanding........it sounds like it's been a difficult period for Roger's family, but everything is well on the way to being sorted now.

I've renewed my subscription without any problems, and am just grateful that the intention is to keep the website open.
