New site software not good ...
Return to DiscussionsIf you are nonpaying, you can only see six pictures and probably not your own if you should post them. Since quite a number are not paying members, then it will be an incentive to not participate as much. I see no reason to post pictures if I won't even be able to see them or others. All the personal pics that people posted were OK to me being blocked as a non-paying member, but pictures in groups are important as part of the topic.
Would consider paying if it were not so expensive. but if one web site after another starts wanting money (lots of it), it becomes prohibitive to stay active. If it had a more reasonable rate one could consider being a payer. So, Can't be posting much in the way of photos. Wonder if the management thought of this?
I agree with your thoughts. In my case as a pensioner I cannot pay as I only live on a very small pension. If I were to pay a life membership I'd have to go without oh maybe gas for my car for three months, or food for the month, or.... and another thing I have found recently, there seems to be an increase in censorship or elitism to members by other members. I don't know why. I am seriously thinking of removing my certified membership and enjoying my natural life off line instead of this unreal social media group. But then I have met quite a number of interesting real people here.

I also not able to spend money to be a paid member on this site, but look at it as it is only the photos I am unable to see but all the rest of the site I can use so why bother been unable to see just photos for the money when you can use the forums, groups, chat, mail etc. But at least now again you can add photos to your posts.

I don't come on here to look at photos anyway, but to chat. While the new layout looks pretty, it has made actually using the site harder.
I'm still hanging about though

I was not really into member profile pics, but I am a member of some of the artistic photography groups and others where photography relative to the group was important. So, I will not be all that encouraged now to contribute to these groups since I won't be able to see my pics and probably a lot of others will also not be able to see them.
I am a paying member, but I sympathize with the non-paying members. In addition , if the new site discourages non-paying members from posting, that will tend to reduce the value of my paying membership. I think non-paying members should be allowed to view a larger number of photos which will encourage them to share more of their own photos.
Perhaps a policy allowing non-paying members to view a number of photos that is a function of how many nude photos they post of themselves would both encourage them to post more and make the site more enjoyable for paying members!
I also don't like the new version of the site for several other reasons, primarily because I find it more difficult to use., but perhaps that will change as as get used to it!

I now find, as an unpaid member, photos i have posted to groups i am unable to view, or delete, if six more photos have been added since mine. I will not post photos to groups again. I accept TNs site TNs rules, but, if more efforts are made to entice me to pay membership, i will leave.
