Matt: I can’t imagine ANYONE that ACTUALLY trades the markets bitching about having to pony up a few bucks to post on a message board. If the message board is worth your time, it’s worth a few dimes. Hell, any REAL day-trader in an active day pays more in commissions than this service cost for half a year.

I am a grand fathered member, but I also chose to donate the equivalent of a lifetime membership to help Matt keep this board alive back before Bob bought in. You see it cost MONEY to operate these message boards. Later Bob and Matt decided to thank those of us that did with two icons in our profiles. Something that was not necessary, but appreciated.

So if you like participating on the IHub threads, subscribing is one way to help make sure the forum stays in business.

Regards,
LG

PS: Matt IMO, no one should have a dollar sign in his or her profile if they were given a membership. Those dollar icons should be the symbol of paid/paying subscribers only! The grandfather icon was a good idea for those grandfathered. You should come up with another icon for folks you've given memberships to, to attract them to IHub or for whatever reasons you deem worthy of giving away memberships.

I think what happened is that he tried to post to a subscribers-only board. His posting pattern (10 yesterday and 3 today) doesn't indicate he'd have run afoul of the no-reset-while-posting-at-midnight bug.

Unless the bug that was counting edits as posts isn't completely squashed and the system told him yesterday that he'd reached his daily limit. That message is quite different from "Got a message today that said if I want to post here I would have to pay...", though. When that happens, this is the screen that you get:

Thanks Matt.

I'm back and glad for that.

The FED pumped in 5.75 today and saved the market from a big down day!

They can print money but not energy.

AG will be in Congress tommorow to explain.
