FAQs
General
- Why do we have two websites?
QFHS is transitioning to a more flexible, better supported, website technology. But as we have a considerable investment in the old technology, we are moving in stages. The first stage focuses on membership management and shop functions and other content such as members interests. Later we will address events management and other non-database content. Lastly, we will move our databases to the new platform.
The two different websites will utilise different login credentials. The new website login credentials are based on your email address and a password that is under your control. The legacy website uses your membership number, and a password assigned to you by the Society. The new website will be more secure as a result of that change. Initially the new website (mms.qfhs.org.au) will be a sub-domain of the legacy website. As the transition progresses, the new website will take over the domain name, qfhs.org.au, and become the home page for the Society.
- How can I join?
Select Join Us in the header.
- How can I get a printed journal?
All current members get access to an electronic version of the journal which can be viewed by logging onto the website. When a new journal is available an email with a link to the new journal is sent to all members.
In the past the journal was only mailed out as a printed journal. As costs of printing and mailing increased, we encouraged new and existing members to opt for the electronic version only.
However, some people prefer the printed version and that is available by purchasing an annual subscription here. Members get a reduction in price for this.
Sometimes it is only one edition that a member may require a printed copy of. You can send us a message here.
Printed copies are available for reference purposes in our Research Centre at Chermside.
