This forum is great. I was wondering whether it would be worthwhile whether there could be room where people could state whether they have a particular interest when contributing to a particular thread. I know a number of regulars do it here and its handy to know where people stand as long as its not abused.

Hi Greggy,

Thanks very much for your suggestion.

I do like the idea of people having to check a box that asks them whether or not they have a financial interest in the stock that is the topic of the thread before their post will be allowed to be submitted. I am all for openness and transparency and think this idea helps foster that.

This is something I will be looking into in the near future in terms of feasability/cost etc.

Search function - could it be possible to search Titles from the quick search box instead of going to advanced search?

Also, unable to add more than 2 blank spaces in a row to text - gets removed when posted.

Hi UF,

Appreciate your feedback.

I recommend the use of the 'Advanced Search' over the regular site search as you have so many more options available to narrow down your search so you can more easily find the results you are looking for.

I am considering starting a thread on how to effectively use the various search functions on ASF as I think it needs more of an explanation than is currently found in the site FAQ.

Hi Joe, Is it possible to have a list, on the Home Page, that shows the busiest threads in the last 24 hours.

Uncle Festivus · 29 July 2007

Just wondering if anybody else gets taken to the PayPal site when you click on the New Posts button. This happens more frequently than to be a glitch, and on different computers. ????

Nope this has never happened to me, suggest you might have an IE issue and that you have a re-director installed unknown to you. Suggest you do a spyware check. http://www.lavasoft.com/ Ad-Aware is one of the better ones. You also might want to download Hi-jackthis (http://www.tomcoyote.org/hijackthis), This examines if yr IE has been hi-jacked and is a source of your problems

Good luck

Hello Damuzzdu, I use Firefox & Adaware & Spybot, so.... & it only happens to ASF when I click New Posts. I use Firefox at home & IE at work, and happens to both & only for ASF. Joe, it's been happening for a while now, like months, I have been putting up with it though.

SevenFX · 29 July 2007

Joe.

Three Simple suggestions to suggest, possibly hard to Impliment.

1. Instant Popup (like pm's) when subscribed thread is updated.

2. To be able to add the subscribed thread window of threads to the front page on top/below of "Recent Threads"

Even better to have any subscribed thread folders appear, as oppossed to all subscribed threads.

3. ASX code in thread title could clickable to bring up latest Yahoo charts in new window. (beta charts are good)

Hi, you may have inadvertantly downloaded either Advanced or Powered Keylogger. Adaware and spybot Search & Destroy, are liked by users but more professional people consider them just good value, free of course. These advanced keyloggers can be very complex and there is a website set up at http://www.keylogger.com and http://www.mykeylogger.com/keylogger-forum//lofiversion/index.php/

Nice first post DJ.

To post a picture, go to the Additional Options section when you are posting a reply, and Manage Attachments, and then attach your file from your computer. There are size restrictions.

not sure if this has been suggested before :

grouping stocks into their sector eg. miners, pharms, banks etc., in addition to the existing grouping by alphabetical order.

makes it easier to know what kind of stock it is when screening the list of threads. (i dont' read every thread!)

SevenFX · 23 October 2007

Joe.

Could you consider a Home button at the bottom of each thread, as this would reduce the number of transactions on the db, and make navagation easier.

Also whilst it might be my lucky day, could we have the search restriction of 1easiest up a little.

Thanks
