Suggestion Box

[Joe Blow]

Hi Joe,

if its ok, is it possible to add in a 5th forum section, specifically towards derviatives...  ???

Cheers,
sis

ps.. thanks if you can

Hmmmmm... interesting.

Anyone else think we should have a derivatives forum?

If the idea gets some support I might add one.

Let me know what you think!

Yeah I'd like a derivatives forum. Life might get boring if there wasn't another new learning curve to climb

Call me dumb but how do I logout from here?

Every time I get on this site I seem to be logged in. I am using a public comp at work so not interested in somebody else to get in here with myself being logged in.

 

[GreatPig]

Try "logout" at the top of the page.

Cheers,
GP

 

[positivecashflow]

I would definately vote for a derivatives forum ;D ;D

Cheers,

JD, you don't have 'logout' showing near the top right of the main page?

Can you let me know what you do see?

Global Times on Aussie Stock?

Hi Joe,

Just a small suggestion for the forums (not that it isn’t great the way it is) would it be possible (and if so if you and other members so wish) to possibly put under the main control bar some current times for all of the exchanges around the globe (e.g. Hong Kong, Tokyo NY London and of course ASX)

Just may be a useful piece of information for all of us to see the times for the major exchanges when posting/reading.

Just a thought and thanks again for the fantastic and informative forum

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your feedback and your kind words about the forums.

I merged your thread with this suggestion box thread which I created so people could give me feedback and make suggestions about what they think might improve the site.

I will have look and see if I can find a world times hack for this software. If I find something that integrates well with the site I will let you know.

If anyone else has any suggestions or feedback, don't be afraid to post and let me know your thoughts.

Joe,
Have you thought of having the recent posts page span multiple pages instead of just the one? This would make it easier to see all the posts over the past few days. Quite often I read something and then think the next day that I really should have a look at that thread again. Now, what was it called... Would be easy to just be able to go back over the past couple of days and spot it rather than going through the different forums one at a time or searching for it. No biggie but just a thought since that's what some other forums do and it seems to work quite well. It's just an extension of the present list to more than one page in practice.

joe i think this is a good idea

 

[Milk Man]

generally i click the new posts button and i get more than a page- still a good idea though. Ditto for international times- that shouldn't be too hard either (for you that is joe- my puter says its got winnders but ah caint find no laytches )

Hiya Smurf,

With the 'New Posts' function, when there's more than 25 threads with new posts it automatically starts a new page. Would you like me to reduce this to a smaller number such as 15?

Or are you talking about the 'Latest Forum Topics' on the 'Home' page? This lists the most recently updated twelve threads.

I'm talking about the "Latest Forum Topics" on the home page. Just thought it would be handy if it listed more than twelve threads since on a busy day the list can become fairly limited. It's purely a convenience thing so it would effectively be a link to all recent (as opposed to new) posts.

You're doing a pretty good job with this forum Joe so finding faults isn't that easy...

Thanks for your praise Smurf. I really do try my best to make this place enjoyable for everyone.

Making multiple pages of the latest forum topics doesn't seem to be an option at the moment but I can increase the amount listed. I will adjust it to 15 initally and see how that works. Any more and I'm afraid it will extend too far down the page. We'll see how it goes anyway.

Just wondering if you have used the 'New Posts' feature in the navbar (in between 'Calendar' and 'Journal'). This forum software keeps track of the threads you have viewed and how many posts of each thread you have read. So everytime you visit the site, if you click on 'New Posts' it basically comes up with a list of threads that have been created and added to since your last visit.

Let me know if you find it useful.
