Just wanted to ask about the payout. So, for the 1st 30 day period, you get paid for the total posts you have at the end of the period and for the 2nd 30 day period, you get paid for the posts you made during the 2nd period and not for all existing posts, right?
You need 1 post to PM anyone. You have it now so go and PM. If you can't, wait a bit. Sometimes it might take some time for the server to notice the post.
