Can someone tell me how to access the current version of BCM. I have an account and can log in but have clicked every damn button on the home page with no success.
Regards
Fred

#1 Click on the BCM logo on the top of this page.
#2 Click on the word "login" at the top right of the page.
#3 Log in
#4 You should now see a page with the cover image from a number of issues. Under each cover image are four options in red rectangles.
The top two are for reading the issue online through the Flipbook, and you can choose HD (high definition) if you have a good internet connection or SD (standard definition) if you have a weaker connection.
The bottom two red rectangles are for downloading a PDF copy of the issue which you can then read offline or on a mobile device. Again you can choose HD or SD.
Hope this helps. If you're not seeing what I'm seeing I'd suggest sending a note to Gary's office.

On the same note can someone tell me how to know if my account is paid up. I NEVER read the magazine because it is only on the computer BUT I like supporting the board by keeping my subscription up.

Can't answer that, but if you download the PDF version of the magazine you can read it on your phone or tablet, not just on your computer. There is also a way to add it to your Kindle reading list, so you can read it on a Kindle if you have one.

Nope!
Only get the January cover and an index for that edition.
Very frustrating so wont waste any more time and wont renew.
-
If all you're seeing is one edition, you're probably not logged in.
The first photo shows where the login in (green arrow). You've got to be fully logged in, and then you should see something like in the second photo.

I presume when it say "howdy Fred XXXXX" it means Im logged in. Also although I can log in on my computer I can't on my phone.

I would agree - if it has a welcome message you're likely logged in. Do you see the red buttons for downloading the PDF copy of the magazine? If so, download the SD version on your computer, then when you get the file downloaded email it to yourself. On your phone retrieve the email and download the SD version on your phone. You should then be able to read it on your phone.

Nope, no red buttons.
And Im not interested in reading it on my phone.

When you mentioned you couldn't log in with your phone, I assumed you were trying to read it there.
Not sure how else to help from this end. If you are logging in through this page: https://www.busconversionmagazine.com/ and still can't get to the magazine, then I'd suggest sending a note directly to Gary for advice.
