Hey guys,
The more I thought about things the more I realized that it was unfair to totally lock out the accounts of non-paying members. I was simply following instructions provided to me on how to create a membership based website and thought that this was the way things had to be. I tinkered around with some settings this evening and have decided to allow "expired trial users" the ability to post messages in the "Shack Talk" forums. They will, unfortunately, be unable to post in any other forum.
Also, expired trial users still have access to their swaps on swap board. The swap board for "members only" will not take effect for another month or so to allow the current swaps to be completed.
Hopefully, this change will make life a little easier for you guys. Please accept my apologies.
