Suggestion and Policy
Yes, they absolutely should give you some way to know.
...has VIP and thus can receive PM's. The envelope should be replaced with a little mailbox. The mailbox would have a red flag, indicating the person is VIP. No red flag would mean the person cannot receive PM's.
I've asked this in the past, but I'll ask again...because it's a major issue when trying to connect with hobbyists, without posting on the boards.
Please TER, figure out a way to let members know if someone is able to receive PM's. It's VERY frustrating wondering when you don't receive a reply, if they don't want to answer you...or, if they aren't able to receive PM's.
Thank you, TER!
Let's hope TER listens to us, and makes it happen, ASAP. Please TER, figure out a way to let members know if someone is able to receive PM's. It's VERY frustrating wondering when you don't receive a reply, if they don't want to answer you...or, if they aren't able to receive PM's.

I think a lot of people here wish they would fix that. If someone posts in alias, you know they have vip, at least we have that.
Thank you, for that information! 1) All aliases are VIP. (As fearghas mentioned) If you PM an alias you know he/she can read it.
2) If someone has written 2 reviews in the past month, then hey have VIP currently and can read their PMs.
3) Providers who have the link "see my reviews" under their posting handle, or who have the "send PM" button at the top of their profile have Provider VIP and can read their PMs.
Other than that there is no way of knowing if a member is VIP or basic. Msny other forums do allow you to know if a member can read or has read your PM.
Anyway this has been asked for many times like almost every suggestion on this board.

We are working on this.
Any volunteers to do beta testing in the next month?
Not saying this is one of the features for testing though.
