tiger, not sure what your question is, but .. if you have a photo of a chart you want to post ( and I personally recommend alt+printscreen, then alt+V to paste it into Irfanview) ... crop as necy, save as a jpeg (size and small kb size already set for you)

then to add it to a post, all you do is go to "manage attachments" below the main square where you enter stick your post ... lol - oops better rephrase that ;) where you print your words ...

and browse to find your jpeg, and load it - simple. :2twocents

been trying all that & nothing seems to be working,thanks see how i go
 
Just reviving this thread as there are some useful tips in here. :)
 
Joe,

Not sure if this is covered somewhere else, or if it just common sense :p:, but are there any way to search for posts that have all the terms you enter in them.

For example, I have tried to search for ASX CFD's in the past, and when I enter this in the search it returns results with either ASX or CFD and not just the results with both words in it. I have tried using 'ASX AND CFD' in the search, but it doesn't seem to work.

Cheers.

The best way to do this would be to go the Advanced Search and enter your search terms in the 'Search By Key Word(s):' box. Then in the 'Search Options' section below ensure the 'Show Results As' is set to 'Posts' rather than 'Threads'.

When you click 'Search Now' the search will then find all posts containing all your search terms.
 
Hi Joe. This is not so much a "How Do I do It?" question ,but a "Where Did It Go?"

What happened to the Stock ticker that used to be up on the right top corner of the home page? :confused:

It was there a couple of days ago...Could you put out an APB for it ...I miss it!

Sadly, it was going to cost us an additional $1,600 a month to keep it there and unfortunately right now that is an expense that ASF just cannot afford. :(

Ok ,Joe. I understand now ...that's a scandalous cost!

I can get the info elsewhere. Thanks
 
Re: Aussie Stock Forums hints and tips!

Thought I'd bump this thread for those who haven't seen it.

Plenty of great tips here for making the most of ASF!

If there's something you'd like to know how to do, or if you just have a query about an aspect of ASF's functionality, feel free to ask your question in this thread.
 
G'day Joe,

ASF has reset my login with a numerical password lost following the wiping of my hard disk when my PC crashed.
Gratefull if you cud guide me on how to reset this password with one of my choice tt is easier to remember. Tks
 
Hi,

Is there a way to mark a thread as read instead of opening it up and clicking on all the entries?

I'm not sure what you mean by "clicking on all the entries". Getting to the last post of a thread is a one click process. Simply click on the green arrow
lastpost.gif
that you see next to the name of the last poster in the thread and you will be immediately taken to the last post. This thread will then be considered as read until a new post is made.

While I'm on the topic there are also a couple of ways to mass mark threads as read.

1) Go to the forums index page and look just above the "Currently Active users" section where you will see a "Mark Forums Read" link. Clicking this will mark every thread on ASF as read.

2) Go into the index of any forum on ASF and click on the "Forum Tools" drop down menu at the top right of the list of threads. You will see a "Mark This Forum Read" option which, when selected, will mark every thread in that forum only as read.

Hope that helps. :)
 
Joe,

This problem has now been fixed. Let me know if you encounter any further issues with attachments.
 
Joe,

Two questions about the software ASF uses.

Does the software allow you to password protect specific threads?

Can you designate moderators to specific threads?

Hi jersey10,

The answer to both of your questions is no.

Moderators can be assigned to particular forums, but not specific threads.

Threads are unable to be password protected however individual forums can.
 
Hi Joe

Good thread and I noticed it only today . Laggard as they call it.

Any way my queries are :

  1. How do you select a moderator ?
  2. Do they have some business interest with ASF to be a moderator ?
  3. What is the term for a moderator considering the Prime Minister gets elected for three years ?
  4. What is the code of conduct for a moderator unless they get an immunity:D
  5. Who moderates a moderator?

Regards
