Thanks for the tip off though. There are tons of those low profile sites out there. Some of them can be little gems. Others, like this one, can be a total waste of money. Definitely one to avoid.

I have found that manually inputting member name and password sometimes solves the problem, IF the problem is that the site does not accept cut and paste. Another possibilty is that you tried to log in too soon after joining. Some sites are slow to input new members. By the way did you notice that trial members cannot keep the downloads? I think they mean DRM. This is on the bottom of the join page. Also TBP does not list the trial as being available.

Hi mbaya,
I always manually imput the U and P after sign-up, never cut and paste. I thought of the second possibility, being that with some sites there is a 30 minute to an hour delay in accessibility, but this wasn't mentioned anywhere on the sign-up page, or in the confirmation email.
I did get it sorted out via email (something about a problem with shared passwords and such), but it took a day and a half. They apologized and graciously extended my trial period. True, TBP doesn't mention the trial but it was offered on the join page, and I went for it. Maybe it's something new.
I wouldn't know about the DRM issue because I went in looking for pics and didn't bother with video, especially after seeing what a mess the site is. From what I can tell the vids are stream only. Maybe the trial limits you to streaming? I don't care because they all look like crap anyway.
I can't do a full review since I only took the trial, but I will say that for what this site offers, the regular sub price is highway robbery. The pictures are very small, averaging 512x768, and the material is dated. I saw a lot of this stuff on Newsgroups years ago. One could collect far better pictures on a semi-decent TGP.
The official TBP score is way too high, in my opinion.

FYI, you can write a review if it is full access.

Looking at the site, it says, "Trial accounts do not retain access to downloaded movies." Thus, the trial is limited and the user shouldn't submit a Review based on it.
But yes, as you say ... if a trial is truely unlimited, we do accept Reviews based on trial use.
