Cant reply to a topic, says needs to be plus or pro
'Ho. I've learned a lot just from lurking and reading. I would like to start contributing but when I try to reply to a post in the Real Estate Events and Happenings section I get the popup that I have to have a plus account to reply. It states in the forum headder that only plus and pro members can start a post, but anyone can reply.
I have sent a request for help and have had some conversation but it is still unresolved. I am thinking about upgrading, but if the basic stuff that is supposed to work does not, I am leary of paying to upgrade.
So just to be sure, that forum is not only for plus and pro members correct? and if that is correct, is there a problem where "basic" members are supposed to be allowed to post, but cannot?
Thanks!

You can always view the threads and respond to them, but you can't start a thread of your own. To learn more about pro and plus accounts, please check this link: https://www.biggerpockets.com/pro
Let me know if you have more questions.
Not quite 100% correct there. You must be PLUS or PRO to reply on Marketplace topics; any member can reply to Events topics.
