More limitations. I belonged to over 450 groups, made many business connections because of these groups and now, POOF, 400 groups with so many more potential clients are gone.

H. (Dan) Nye Age 40 I looked at their telephone numbers and using one of my handy dandy stab-in tricks I dialed a little beyond it. I can tell you 650 687 3615 is a live body! So will (probably be, 3616, 3617, etc.) It seems they have 18 (of their 24?) employees listed so I'd stick close to the 3600 when dialing!

I'm thinking that the limit may be only for free users. Anyone with a membership may be able to send a Invitation Novel. FWIW, Dan I have sent and received many invitations recently that are over the 256 character limit.

I’m thinking that the limit may be only for free users. Anyone with a membership may be able to send a Invitation Novel.

FWIW,

They created a platform and didn't understand it's best uses. I have since dropped my premium account because of their changes. I like your suggestions and have passed along.
