I feel like every year since I’ve been licensed and an ARRL member, I’ve become less enthused by the ARRL. To the point where this may be my last year as a member.

Also a thought: I use a few ARRL links in our side bar I wouldn’t mind changing to non-ARRL links. Open to suggestions.

Hiya, not sure how to see the side bar in a web browser, which reminds me, my account seems to be randomly logged out.

The general sidebar on the right has some links for how to get into amateur radio.

Not a lemmy dev so I’m not the go to on issues. I had that issue on Firefox though.

That's interesting. I don't see that on Safari on my Mac.

Edit: fat fingers and autocorrect.

What do you see and what link are you using? On my Mac in safari at lemmy.radio I can see it. Not in a community

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah, I was in the Amateur Radio community when I looked. When I get back to my desk I'll check.

[–] BenDoubleU@lemmy.radio 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yea in a community you only see the community info. The “official” sidebar is only on the main feed

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yup, I can see this on Safari when outside a community.

I note that none of the three ARRL links actually load for me.

[–] BenDoubleU@lemmy.radio 1 points 2 months ago

Could be that ARRL was down then. All links work for me.

Glad it's not just me, lol. I've been wondering for weeks why I seem to almost always get logged out if I close the tab in Firefox. Not a big issue; I just log back in. But have been curious as to why that happens.
