Good question Lovely Lady. The same rules apply to them. The subscription sites are allowed to post here. As long as they don't target a specific product. It's OK for them to post a message saying come to the site for new stuff. Because it isn't targeting a specific product. It's a general heads up for the communtiy. We just want to cut back "a little" on the Ads by not allowing specific direct linking to products. We don't want to be totallitarian about it. This is afteral..still a community of users. And we aren't looking to limit their awarness of new products. The goal here is to achieve a balance: Less threads so things don't get buried so quickly here. VS. Product availability announcements. And try to do it in as fair a way as possible. ScottA
