Hi,
I have tried the 30 day trial period to see if I would enjoy and benefit from the site. Is it possible to post images to the site and be critiqued/commented on while being a trial member. I noticed when I click post a photo the browse button is grayed out and it says must be a member. Entering the URL of the image would be much more tedious for the general user. For me at least this would be an important area for review for me in determining whether I want to become a member can someone clarify for me if posting is possible. Thanks

Hi Raymond. Would suggest you contact Jim. Go to the front page box and highlight "Contact NPN." He will answer your question.

Raymond,
Thanks for joining NPN! This is actually a question that is asked frequently by new members, so I will be adding this to our User FAQ page.
When a new member joins via PayPal, we are notified by PayPal with a "notification of payment" email. When we receive the email notification, we manually send the new member a welcome email that contains all of the information they need to set up their membership benefits, including their membership number. As stated on the "join NPN" pages, we send the email within 24 hours.
The main point to remember here is that this is a manual process - your membership is not automatically generated. We process each new member manually to ensure that they were not a previous member, in which case it becomes a renewal, not a new membership. Perhaps at some point in the future we will invest in making this a fully automated process, but for now the system allows us to provide some individualized care.
In your case Raymond, you joined last evening and I just sent your membership info this morning. As stated in that email, if you have any questions at all about setting up your membership benefits, please let us know - and thanks again for joining us!
