Whoops! Sorry, but you are not allowed to perform the action requested.
You are still logged in to your account and may continue shopping. Please choose a destination from a menu.

That is the error I was getting. I closed Explorer and was able to do it with Firefox.

Guys, don't fill out the top box. If you've never bought online before from Beacon...you're not in the system. Start with filling in new customer info. I think that's what worked for me.

The store account is different from your user ID /forum info.

you will need to set it up only takes a few . also please note your forum user name when you "order" so you get the "banner"

How long does it take for the banner to show up? I just contributed a few minutes ago, and I'm an "instant gratification" junkie!

I stepped up early this morning and haven't got a banner yet but I'm patient,,,,not.

Thanks to everyone whose contributed so far... To give you the banner I need to go into your privileges and update the rank manually... so, if it doesn't appear immediately... don't fret. I check the site and email every few hours.... Thanks again and keep up the great work!!!

Thank you Don, We appreciate you very much not only for the site but for your vigilance and knowledge. Contributing to this site is definately an honor. Where else can you get this much knowledge and entertainment for ten bucks.
