great idea....has everything to do with choice of service....
It is becoming more and more common for forums and other free websites to offer additional services such as ad-free browsing for a small fee. This way those who want to pay can, and it has no effect on new registrations or those who wish to keep it as it is.
I'm sure Joe will consider these ideas and probably seek more feedback from everyone
Hey Joe, hope your Xmas was Merry.
I have always thought it would be a good idea to have a little more profile info in the space under our avatar when posting..this would firstly help new people get a handle on what it is that we all do and the differences between us and also help everyone with understanding where we are coming from and perhaps why we have the positions that we do.
I did a bit of an example...perhaps its a little to much info, and of course you would have an opt out option for those that want more privacy.

I'm coming back to this suggestion first as I feel it has quite a bit of potential and would be relatively easy to implement. However, I think that the amount of new information in the profile should be limited to the most essential/important, otherwise it might get a bit cluttered and confusing.
What new profile fields would everyone like to see introduced?

I would like to see a % of general chat vs other areas posting. That way users can see who is more active in stock and investment threads as opposed to general chat

I don't think DB008 is obliged to offer a reason why he doesn't want to post his trading.Why not lol? Just in case a heap of people jump on board and help the sp

Some of us prefer to keep our financial decisions to ourselves.
No, of course not. But what DB was saying wasDoesnt mean you cannot offer thoughts or opinions on stocks you own or are researching without saying that you have a position in that stock
and he was mocked for it.I don't post much of my share trading actions online.

Excellent idea. Seperate the wheat from the chaff. Let forum members know who trades in what sector(s), style of trading, volume of trades, claimed success or lack there of etc. Only problem would be the wanna be's making stupid claims and the challenges from those less successful against those making legitimate claims to reasonable success.
A definite goer. You could claim all you like in the first suggestion but your independently correlated record of posts would demonstrate immediately whether the majority of your posts were in stocks or posted in general chat.

Well, what about us option freaks.
Not much conversation on them really, hence most of my posts end up in general chat. But given the opportunity, I have much more to add.
Nice that will sort out the ASF right.

As if there isn't already enough of this. Someone describes their trading, only to be met with "I don't believe it" "Put up some proof" and any number of other criticisms.Let forum members know who trades in what sector(s), style of trading, volume of trades, claimed success or lack there of etc. Only problem would be the wanna be's making stupid claims and the challenges from those less successful against those making legitimate claims to reasonable success.
Exactly. The number of wannabes offering criticism to those who are already self supporting is quite bizarre.+1
I am generally happy to allude to some of my trading activities, but am reluctant to extend an open invitation to "wannabe" traders to impress me with their unsolicited advice on more efficient ways of losing my hard earned.
