I was just looking for the old threads on the changes to free member access to messages.
As far as I remember free members can no longer send nor respond to messages. I am unsure if they can read the message you send them. People were complaining about it when the change was first made..... it seems like paid members should be able to initiate message communication with free members.
Free members
If don't have 15$ per month better never contact them
How would we ever contact them?
