Is this a glitch?
Although logged in, every link I attempt to access ('Virtual Tour,' 'Plans Overview,' etc.) now prompts for a membership upgrade.
Is FreeGreen no longer free?

Hello Lloyd,
We appreciate your comment and question. We will be posting a blog entry to discuss the soft launch of our Premium Membership Program (which is what you are seeing when you are using the site). This post should answer your questions and we look forward to hearing your comments on our new program and site structure.
