It's a shame that you can only use PM if you are a gold member on IG! So you have to pay just to PM a friend...?I think everyone has a right to privacy and if you register on a site you should have access to PM other members. Hope that never happen here.:fingers:
yeah it is a shame. AND gold doesn't even work. It will take your money, but you won't get the upgrade. That's what I understand anyway. IG is falling apart. The page owner has pretty much "washed her hands" of the page..
In IG's defense, the reason they had to make PM for gold members only was because there were horrible trolls on there who were PM'ing people who had lost children and saying the most disgusting things that you can even imagine.
Now as for why they made PM's gold and then took people's money and did not give them their Gold Memberships, I have no idea and it's awful that they did that. But the original reason PM's went Gold was because of the trolls.
Then you should have options to set from who you accept PM's I guess and not making members pay for it...
I can't confirm from this pic. 14 weeks can be tricky. Hope you get a better look at your next scan! GL!
thanks foxy!
our3sons - did you see ColdWater's reply at the bottom of page 1? I suspect you were posting at the same time!
Nope, I didn't see it til you pointed it out. Thanks though!! Darn. wishful thinking I guess. I thought those 3 lines were pretty clear and the bright circle like area behind it = bum.. Cuz I have seen a lot of gender shots at this stage with the same bright circle area behind the gender. ahhh well... it is what it is. Gotta wait I guess.Quote:

It was just a tough situation all around and seriously, people can't even imagine the content of some of those PM's. They were hideous. The solution itself wasn't bad, it was what came afterwards that was totally ridiculous, with Gold not working and people's money getting ripped off. Not to mention that the trolls were not being banned as soon as they popped up. Only Maureen could ban trolls and when she'd go missing for weeks at a time, it was pretty hard for the FL's to deal with.Quote:

yes this is also a good idea. I was on IG for a long time but never paid for gold.
