Haven't had time to read through this all. Not sure if mentioned or even possible but would love an "alert" function which alerts users to when their posts have been quoted.

I don't have the time to scroll through everything. Often I'll go back and realize someone asked me something and I didn't even realize.

Would be a huge help.
 
I don't know whether it's possible, but I'd love to see a bit more accuracy in the search function e.g. when using the advanced search and going with a User aswell as a keyterm you might get the correct thread you're after, but that thread has 100 pages in it so the search isn't that useful as you still have to manually trawl the entire thread.

Also agree with the rating system (specifically regarding trading/investing) for the aforementioned reasons.
 

Ditto
 
I understand that and it's why I said
There are some posters on this forum who post as if they have been trading for decades and have a wealth of experience, but who it turns out are still quite young and trade with a very small capital base.

And these people are also going to be issuing star ratings when they are less than qualified to judge.

There are others who are not as arrogant or know-it-all who are actually the ones a learner should taken notice of, but whose posts can be lost amongst the chatter.

Agree.

So how would it work? You'd see the people with multiple stars, then go through their posts to find what you're looking for?
Certainly easier than trying to search the whole forum.

Yes, and this applies outside of the General Chat threads also in some instances, eg FA v TA.

Understood, but the dissenting opinion is what makes a discussion interesting, or even just a question.

Threads that consist of the same few people saying the same thing over and over are doing nothing more than satisfying those few people.

Whatever Joe decides is fine with me.
 
When I click on "New Posts" it don't come up with New Posts.

OOPs apologise, it hasn't been fixed.

The Coalition Discussion thread does not appear on "New Posts" .

Has one of Princess Kevin's acolytes infiltrated the site.

Occurs with Chrome and Firefox.

I would like to thank everyone for all the feedback and suggestions so far. If you think of anything else, please feel free to post about it in this thread.

If there is anything I have learned about changing a website as well established as ASF it is that some will like the change, while others won't. Others will simply shrug their shoulders and wonder what all the fuss is about. However, even small changes have the ability to anger and frustrate some, which is why I am very careful about any alterations or modifications that I do make.

I will go through the suggestions so far, make a list and figure out which ones are feasible in the short term. The post "like" feature is a definite candidate, although as with some others, I do worry about the political implications of it and the potential it may have create division in the ASF community. As some have suggested, it could be introduced on a trial basis.

Anyway, for the time being, please continue to make suggestions and offer feedback. I am still very interested in what changes you would like to see here at ASF.

Just a little feature of some other forums that I read and a feature that I like is having a little icon next to the Original posters name everytime they post in the thread to show anyone reading the thread that he/she was the original poster. (Just a little easier sometimes to keep track of the original person posting in the thread).

On one forum for example they have a little red [OP] symbol next to the name of the original poster every time they post in that thread.
On another they have a little picture of a pencil next to the name of the original poster every time they post in that particular thread. Like this .....

Just a nice feature that I'm sure a few would appreciate.

If you want any examples of forum names just let me know?

I like that idea.

This is the first suggestion I have implemented, as it was relatively easy to add to the forums.

In each thread, the ASF member who started the thread will have the designation "Thread Starter" below their user title in every post they make in that thread.

I hope many will find this to be a useful feature.

Please continue to suggest any new features or content you would like to see on ASF, or offer any constructive feedback that you feel will help make ASF a better, more useful website.
 
Post 10 times a week on stocks and you get free data from Norgate. Win win win win.

Joe you pay Mr Norgate a discount rate.
Members "subscribe" and start posting like crazy.
Traffic increases immediately.
You charge your advertisers more for the increased traffic to make up your outlay.

Very nice.

Can you change the description "Thread Starter" to "$hit Stirrer" for those who start threads clearly intended to offend and be divisive?

Hey Joe,

Was there supposed to be an ASF email invitation to a CMC Markets event? Seemed a bit unusual.
Click to expand...

Yes, CMC Markets have been doing some advertising with ASF and I sent that out for them to promote their event.
 
Joe the winnings from the comp a while back got returned to you. Paypal said I wasn't signed up, but I am. They said to contact you to get it re-sent. Thanks.

The money never reached my bank account, even though I got a 'received payment' email from Paypal on May 2.
 

Should I send it to the same email address?
