Hi JJ90,
Lots of good questions...

We have been testing the free trial, and haven't quite settled on how to use it for our main site. We think offering the choice of "free membership or free trial membership" sounds confusing. We are committed to having the free membership you are using right now. You'll notice the trial page doesn't offer the free membership. So any suggestions about how to add the trial choice without creating confusion would be welcome.


About the password fields, several points:

1. the security aspect of the *** replacing your passwords is just for people looking over your shoulder while you type. The password is not really scrambled.

2. Those fields replace my password with ***, so I can't replicate your problem. I'm not sure why you are having it.

3. Our system encodes your password during transit, keeping it safe from hackers.

Thanks for taking the time to tell us. Let me know if you have other questions.
