If you see this information on a magazine you want to read, please consider joining the membership.

2. Ability to see which plan each benefit article is linked to before joining

On each creator's membership page, it is now displayed which plan benefit articles are linked to before you join. For those who want to join a membership with multiple plans, it is now more convenient to know which plan to join to read the articles you want.

If you are a membership participant, you can now recommend member benefit articles without supporting them. You can easily recommend articles you think are good, and they can also be displayed on your followers' timelines.

Have you ever had a careless moment where you thought, 'Oh no, the text I was writing has disappeared!'? To prevent your written text from being accidentally deleted, a warning will now appear if you try to navigate away from the bulletin board while in the middle of entering text. You can avoid deletion by clicking 'Cancel', so please make use of this feature.

5. Displaying first-month free and pricing on the membership introduction page

To make it easier to join memberships, the participation fee and 'First month free' are now displayed on the membership introduction page.

Please use this feature when you want to attract interest from people other than current membership participants.
