Fuzzed out mail...


I see a major change in the mail system here. Up until now, if a gold member sent a message to a standard member they could read it and reply. Now, the message is blurry so you cannot read it and the reply box has a orange note stating you must upgrade to see what they have to say!

That means only gold members can send messages and only gold members can read them.

I can think of the main reason for this being a means of revenue for the website. You have to pay to send (or read) mail here.

The bad: If an attractive member sends mail it could be a scammer and it would cost you find out.

The good: When I find something good about this I'll come back and add a comment.

If you have been on dating sites in the early days (more than 15 years ago) this happened on the site match dot com where they were sued for planting fake members who sent messages to standard members. The unsuspecting standard members were paying to become gold members only to find the person who sent the message was bogus. They were being scammed by the dating site!

Is history repeating itself? As I recall, people were leaving that site and going to dating sites that allowed members to freely contact other members.

lao, I believe the last blog of yours I read said you were leaving this website. I haven't been back.

After writing this blog I went back to my mail center and found you can hold the mouse over a message and drag it across revealing the obscured message.

I'll read your blog to see what you have found. Thanks!

lao, your message/mail blog didn't appear on the main blog page. The only blog I saw was about Trump.

Lily, I noticed it a few days ago.
Can you clearly see and read mail sent to you?
Are you able to reply?

L2C4U, it's doubtful but I hope you get a refund.

The website changes in the last few months have negatively affected membership.
