Getting Started

I am trying to contact a Wealthy Affiliate member by going to their profile and then clicking on message. However, their name is not in the recipient box; even if I try to type

Hi Roy…maybe there is a glitch. Perhaps sending a note on their profile could initiate some contact.

Susan

Hello Susan,

Thank you for your reply, I did end up messaging the member through his profile. It turns out that he is still a free member, my mistake, big time!

I appreciate you responding to my question.

Roy

Hi Roy…that’s good to hear. No worries. Glad it’s resolved for you. :-)

Take care,
Susan

can you still see their profile and are you messaging him or her through her profile? If you can't do that anymore, this person might have blocked you. I don't think that you can 'turn off' private messaging. Does this person still blog on the platform or ask questions and is still active?
Lizzy

Thank you for responding to my question Lizzy, it's appreciated.

It turns out it was my mistake, the member is a free member, although I thought he was a long-standing member! I did message them through their profile and they have responded.

All the best.

Roy

Make sure its the same name and spelling as their account.
What ... Oh I see, you've already done that.
PS
After your recent "Time to step back ..." post, you will be pleased to hear that I have dusted off the medicine ball and now do a quick 2 minutes each time I stand up from the computer.
Bux

Hello Dave,

I made a mistake, Bux; the member is actually a free member but plans to join soon. I thought he had been part of the platform for a few years. So, I messaged him through his profile page.

I had to look up what a medicine ball is, I must admit I hadn't heard of it before! It sounds like a good idea.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Roy

I guess you know now. Best description - a basket ball filled with weights and rubber instead of air.
They are good to use, very versatile.
The day went well, just doing a bit more on the next hill.
Bux

Is it possible they’re no longer on the platform?

I'm 99.9% sure that they are Eric, as they were commenting on a very recent blog post. The particular member appears to have had a few issues with his account, as members were welcoming him to Wealthy Affiliate. I believe he has been a member for several years! I hear where you are coming from, Eric.

I appreciate your response, thank you.

Roy

I’d just leave a message on his profile and see if you get a response that way 👍🏼

Hello Eric,

My apologies, it appears that my 99.9% sureness was wrong! It turns out the member is a free member, although, I had a feeling he had been on the platform for some time. Apparently, he is going to upgrade soon!

I did actually message him through his profile, as you rightly suggested. So thank you for your help.

Roy

Glad you got it figured out!

WA Affiliate Program

I was wondering what happens if I direct someone directly to a question that I have created on Wealthy Affiliate. For example, I have just created a video regarding part of a q

Hi - just out of curiosity, I tried using a direct link to a WA question, while incognito.

It doesn't even show the question, it goes straight to a log in/sign up page.

I wondered if this might be the case, as questions don't have the share button, unlike blog posts.

So, only members can see questions.

Hello Diane,

That's interesting, I didn't know that! I wonder if that's a new thing! I just tried going to my question in Microsoft Edge, as I'm not logged in, and exactly the same thing happened: it went to the login/sign-up page.

It will be useful for the page to open to the actual question.

Thank you for your input, Diane.

Roy

Thanks for checking, Diane!

It was once true that before all of the changes, when going to a linked post or trainjng, you could see it .

Months later, the next time I used a link, I could see the linked item but only for a few seconds before the signup page appeared.

Sorry, Roy, apparently questions are not affiliately linked.

Rudy

I think any time someone uses your link to read your profile or writings, and then signs up at WA, that would count as a referral.


Rudy

Thank you for your reply, Rudy, it's appreciated. I was also thinking along those sorts of lines, but just wanted some confirmation.

Have a great day.

Roy

Its always nice to know for sure!

Glad to help!
