I'm really really really hoping this is just a bug because... wow.
Nothing frosts my cupcake more than a site that "surprises" its users with a feature removal or a forced monetary incentive such as charging for something that was once free and the users have not only become accustomed to but have come to look forward to it and look upon it with high and affectionate regard.
I get it that sometimes you DO have to make the decision to charge for something that was once free or remove a feature. It's just how things work and it's business, but to not give a heads up? That is unacceptable but unfortunately has become too much the norm nowadays.
However, the Treehouse team doesn't have a history of handling their students in a blasé manner such as this and in fact I would go so far as to say they're one of the few sites out there that are the antithesis of said current status quo. So, yeah, hoping this is just a bug. Otherwise... Hulk SMASH! lol

14,636 PointsAh yes, I just read his. I was still writing while he was responding heh.
Anyway, that's great to know that it's just a quirky little bug and not an indication of treehouse beginning to handle things the way so many other sites choose to.
