What's up with that?

Swampwalker has pretty much nailed it. I wonder if they will be smart enough to charge an annual fee that will let members have that feature back again. They charge a fee for their Bluebook service, maybe if I send them $50 a year I can have e-mail access again. LOL!

Sadly......it's all about the Benjamins.

Mitch2, this isn't just about contacting people about ads. I don't even look at the ads anymore (too much temptation :)). I remember being able to take a discussion offline with a member, to go into more details or to warn them of other's agendas (there are sharks in the water). 90% of my contacting members was for discussion threads, not sales ads.

That's the part I miss, when reading the forums I used to be able to just click on a members name and send them an note offline.
