i can't post new threads tonight for some reason. this is nuts. it happened to me once before, but after about 10 minutes the problem cleared itself up. it doesn't seem to be clearing up tonight, however. i cleared my cache. still a no go.
also, threads are being marked as read and staying that way for me even though there are new posts on threads. it seems this was happening randomly over the last few days, but as of tonight it's happening a lot more.
viewing pictures in threads (fullsize) is definetly something i'd like to see come back. it kind of defeats the purpose of some threads though when you can't see the picture.
and about the difference between plat and non-plat members - i understand fully that some people choose to support this site financially and they get special benifits from it. that's great for them, and i'm glad they decide to do that. non-plats, however, either don't want to support this site financially or are unable to (i got enough money going out and just enough coming in, sorry, but $12/mo here can be used in other ways when you've got mouths to feed).
remember, EF doesn't get all the traffic it does because people pay a membership fee. if that was the case, i'd make my own site and charge a membership. people come here for the content. so as my own personal suggestion, don't forget about the non-plats (and i am in no way saying that you do.).
don't take my comments as a negative, as that's not how they were meant to be stated. i'll be very honest here, i really do like EF. i've been on other discussion boards in the past and have never really found a place where i felt like i fit in or that the people posting were worth listening to until i found this place. this is a great site. keep up the good work. maybe someday (after college) i'll be able to get myself a plat membership as well. or i could just do like i've intented to do.....enter my photo in the physique contest and win myself a 2 year plat membership. look out contest...here i come
