OK, so I signed up with the new paid member option. I tested out the Direct Contact feature and I believe we might have an issue that Bogdan should know about.
When I sent the message, it went to all my "friends". However, apparently the message went to their email address on file with Adland. One individual got very upset, scratched me from his friends list and sent me the following message:
Timothy, how were you able to get my personal email address? I understood that by joining adland that all contact would be through adland and I never gave permission for them to give you my personal information.
A very Pis_ off
[name witheld to protect the innocent]
Additionally, many folks have their email auto-responder on and I received numerous auto-responses after send my direct contact message.
Interesting that it goes to the individual's email address when I was under the impression it would go to their adland inbox. Probably a simple fix but I'm curious if that was the intention or if was an oversight.
Hope I haven't stepped on anyone's toes here, just thought I'd check out some of the features of the new membership.
Thanks for your time.
