Hello,
As you can see, we have put the new bulletin boards live.
The migration went smoothly, though it look at little longer than I expected it to!
If you notice any problems on the boards, please post below.

mpw777,
You're using the new bulletin boards now. They're a complete rewrite, from the ground up, of what we had before. Some additional functionality has been added, however most, if not all of the existing functionality has been implemented, so it shouldn't be to difficult to use.
The advantage of them being alive are that they can be further developed more easily, they consume less resources (smaller HTML pages), and they are able to be run from multiple database servers (that's more of a benefit to us though)

In the old format, threads which were important or had reason to be held at the top of the list, had an identifying mark, any chance of restoring it please?
Also how does one identify which posts are mirrored and which are duplicated or single side?
While on that subject, the profile now appears on both sides when entered, was this intentional?

Does it matter which threads are on both boards? do they really need to be identified specifically?
And yes, it's intentional that the profile appears on both sides. Having it uniform makes it easier for everyone :)
I'll see if a cancel button is possible too (surely just clicking 'back' works?)

Re profile, I suspect that depends on if you ask the individuals who had a seperate profile on each board, or only on one by choice.
Re cancel, just trying to re-introduce consistency of layout and "flavour"
re Top Threads, hadn't realised there was a religious significance.
Re Mirrors, I do data, so such questions are natural, also some posters only sit on one side, and may not be comfortable on both, so won't post.

StormCaller,
The problem users have had with profiles only being set on one board is that a free user will maybe get contacted by a user who has set up a profile on the Traders' Room but not the Investors' Room and therefore won't be able to reply.
There's no need to put in personal details into the profile, and the email address used in MoneyAM Messenger is kept private so we don't think there's an issue there.
I'm going to try and add a cancel button :)
Regarding 'mirrored' threads (they're not mirrored in the DB, just some threads are set to display on both boards: the IDs for the remain the same on both sides): a thread can only be set to be displayed on both boards by MoneyAM staff, and only threads that are relevant to both boards will be set that way (maintenace threads, beta threads, champ invest stuff, bugs threads), so there shouldn't be any real 'dilution' of worth to the paying subscribers.
I hope this answers your questions.

J - nothing major. I broke one of my postings on the following thread:
http://www.moneyam.com/TradersRoom/posts.php?tid=3149 (Post 50)
I'm afraid that somewhere along the line I omitted the closing < / a > from the href and so now the whole edit posting box including the buttons below has become one big hypertext jump to the wrong location. So I can't edit out the problem now because it doesn't work. A bit careless on my part really.
I tried to recreate the problem briefly on this thread - but of course your software always managed to add the < / a > afterwards through its own error correction, so I couldn't replicate it, although obviously it's possible, somehow!
By the way, if I add & lt;/a& gt; into a posting, when I edit again it becomes < / a >, and when I post the edited message, it disappears - so I've had to artificially space the html here.

ptholden,
The squelching is currently kept seperate from the profiles (where it was in the old system), and from within the new squelch system you're able to add users and remove them from the one screen without having to hunt for their usernames on the BBs.
We think this is a better system, but we'll discuss other options during the week.

I guess I'm a voice in the wilderness, but the key info that I look for on the index page, after the Topic and EPIC columns, is the Posts-Unread and Last Poster info. Ideally I'd like to see that information centred, for ease of use, with the columns in the following order, for example:
Topic EPIC Total Unread Last-Poster Started-By Updated
Another redesign maybe. (OK, I think I know the answer.)

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but I liked the idea of repeating the last post when one moves on to 'later posts' - it offers a nice continuity. Now I can never be sure whether I've missed any out, as it goes from post (say) 96 at the end of one page, to post 97 to begin the next one.
Alkso it was much more convenient, in my opinion, to have 'Earlier Posts' at the top of the main thread (ie after the first message).

Unfortunately that kind of big redesign will be met with quite a lot of resistance so is unlikely but I will raise the point with the others.
Kyoto,
Aha, that's a bug in the templating system. I'll try and upgrade the servers tomorrow to resolve that issue (out of hours)
Haystack,
The create thread option is only on the thread index becuase that's where it's really relevant. Post related options are visible on the posts page.
Fred1new,
You can link in any kind of images that you can find on the web (gif, jpg, png...)

What would improvement would having more buttons under 'the line' give over what is already enhanced navigation on this board?

Re: 'Buttons under the line' - particularly another one, which is an "Earlier Posts" button.
Well, if I go 'upwards' to previous posts and reach the line because I can't go any further, I then have to go all the way back 'down' again to reach the button which says "Earlier Posts".

You could use the page-jump-bar on the top right of the page to go back a page either by using the < or the numbered (1,2,3) buttons (with these in place there are 5 places you can click on the page to view previous posts in a thread list)
How's that?

Why is it that a thread I have read and posted on doesn't show unread messages, simply a blank space, when there are some unread replies?
Ie I posted to the FDI thread, and someone replied, but although I could see their name as the past poster, the unread messages coulumn was blank.

I suggest that the 'Thread List' button is moved up a line to join with those relating to posts. The present location is not the best intuitive place, since the other buttons on that line have nothing to do with posts.
Also, I'd like to see that button double its present size. I would imagine that the most common operation after getting to the end of a thread is to return to the thread list, so that button needs to be very obvious and easy to access with a quick move of the mouse - a larger target would make that much easier.

I meant that once I had looked at or posted to a thread, and someone else subsequently posted something, The "unread" counter on the thread list was blank, ie no number at all, nothing to indicate a new post had been made.
This morning however, it seems to be working ok, I will keep an eye on it, and let you know if it happens again.
Also, I sometimes use an internet cafe, and there the thread list doesn't update unless I press CTRL + PF5, I wonder why?
Interestingly, although I reboot the PC when I leave, the next time I use the PC, (which is generaly the same one), as soon as I go to moneyam, it automatically has me logged on!

This morning however, it seems to be working ok, I will keep an eye on it, and let you know if it happens again.
Also, I sometimes use an internet cafe, and there the thread list doesn't update unless I press CTRL + PF5, I wonder why?

Andy,
There was a small issue with a number of users' profiles that meant that the 'unread' count didn't increase on a few threads for them. I fixed that this morning.
It's probable that the internet cafe uses webcaches which would potentially (depending on the configuration used on them) cause the behaviour you're seeing.
A login session lasts for 24 hours, so just rebooting the machine won't do it.

Sorry to be a wet blanket but I'm not taking easily to this new format.
The smaller print (or is it just a font change) combined with the squarer buttons looks fussier, harder to read, and somehow less 'open and friendly'.
The colourful little icons are simply unnecessary, and draw the eye away from the main point of interest, which is the poster's name. I think they ought to be relegated to the Profile page for each poster, accessed by clicking on the poster's name, as before. (Do the icons slow down page-scrolling, btw?)
Have to say I also liked the (old) 'Recent Posts' button, rather than this page-centred format. (ie : with the new Page numbers, 1,2,3,4 etc... as the only way, as far as I can see, of jumping immediately to recent posts.)
Jeez, this is the sort of design that (rather frighteningly) I can imagine that I might have come up with as a 'good idea' before I realised the error of my ways.
I leave it at that. End of sermon.

Re posts #46 & #52 - thanks for the reply JT. Obviously I don't know what the position is in this case but my (programming) experience is that sometimes things like column order may appear to be major changes but in fact are fairly easy to effect, albeit with some fiddly col-width reformatting. I appreciate it's not of immediate concern though.
Re post maggot's post #51, I agree with him that it's useful to have the last post on a page repeated as the first one on the next. Yes, I know the numbers follow in sequence, but that's not how users read. We don't keep a mental note of the number of the post we've just read; we know the content of the post we've just read and like to glance at it as a point of reference, of navigation.

StonyB - have to agree with you on the subject of the icons. Their colourful nature and large size and proximity relative to the poster's name seems to serve to detract attention away from it - and the post below. I thought I'd get used to it (subconsciously start editing them out visually) after a few days, but it isn't happening. I don't think I'll ever like them.
Clickable functionality ought to be sized, spaced and visually presented relative to frequency of use. Since the icon options are probably not going to be used so much I think they should be more discrete. Ironically the edit button, which surely would be more frequently used, is much more visually understated. The page navigation buttons are smaller than the profile icons and quite close together, yet these are really important. I find myself having to 'aim' my mouse more carefully than I did before.
A good example of icons that work are the ones in the MoneyAM Terminal. Relatively small, colour consistent (so it doesn't feel like a child's paintbox), understated and dare I say, a bit classier?
I hate saying all this because having spent a lot of my life working in and studying software development, with heavy doses of 'interface functionality engineering', I know you usually don't please most of the people most of the time, and coming up with an interface you like and having people tell you it doesn't work for them is a bit depressing. Actually, software development is an increasingly thankless task which is why I got out of it - and why I really sympathise with what the MoneyAM team are going through.
But I still find the new design vaguely irritating. Sorry folks!

Cant access investors room via "Favorites" but can access Moneyam then go to investors room. Also cannot access Trades on NLR Programm not responding coming up. Also when you type a message in the posting box then go to another page to check something when you come back to the message its wiped out and you have to start from scratch.

SEADOG,
Can you resave the investors room URL as a favourite to see if this makes any difference. I have just tried NLR on trades and have been able to access it fine - can you copy and paste the error page you are getting and e mail it to me ian@moneyam.com? IF you navigate away from the bulletin board whilst typing a message but before you have posted that message, it will not be retained - this works in the same way as the old BB's

I am not sure I understand so please forgive my ignorance - are you saying that you can get the trades page up, but when you try to scroll down or use the mouse wheel to scroll down it changes to an error page?

Have been working on the new BB over last couple of days - and with any change - it takes a bit of getting used to. I think the new format is an improvement - but I would like to put in a couple of change requests please - mainly cosmetic.
I find the bar at the end of the messages saying "Earlier posts, later posts and all posts" - and the bar beneath it saying "Thread List, Squelch, My profile and Search" a little on the small side on 2 counts - they are difficult to read and I keep missing the box with my mouse. Could thay be made taller - perhaps the same size as the "Post Message Box and Preview Message Box below.
Change Request No 2 - can you insert a page number or a post number in the "post page" on the right hand side so that you can go directly to a specific page or post number.
Congratulations by the way

By clicking on the EPic code on the bulletin boards it should take you to the quote page as before - I have just tested this and it is working fine.
Also I have just tried the search facility and it brings up a list of threads - when I clicked on one it took me to that thread in question.
If you are clicing on an epic code on the stockwatch page and then trying to access a thread this is currently not working, but we are looking at a fix for this.

I see several subsequent posts making similar points about the buttons at the bottom of the page, but I'm not sure if any consideration is being given to these suggestions - hope so.

Has this addition got anything to do with Error on clicking the Investor comments at the end of each Company?
Those people who know how to operate this "new" BB - can their knowledge be posted in a "help" section?
I'm sure it's a good idea but fail to understand what was wrong with it as it was - can anyone explain the significant improvements?
(nothing to do with BB - ) - but if you want to improve things why not post the DATE when I've clicked on an RNS - it tells me "this and that", but fails to convey the date (or share-price before/after the ann). To get this I have to back and forth - keeping a note. Could be all on the one page...conveniently... IMHO.

Oh, forget it........ :-)
Here's a design idea - the date/time msg number text at the top of each post - have that in grey rather than black. That would leave just the actual posted message text in black and make it easier to visually find the posted text instead of having to visually filter out the header from the body.

This one seems to have slipped off your list :-) When you put HTML in posts as visible HTML, e.g. <img src=""> and then edit the post, it doesn't convert the text back to escape sequences making editing it quite difficult. The old BB did.

If I post a message, then decide to blank it under an edit, when I post the edited (now blank message), it doesn't post it but instead keeps the message with the text in. If I preview the blank message it looks blank, but posting it doesn't replace the old message.
If I blank it - but put a space in - it's OK.

That's becuase it the system assumes that a blank message is a mistake and it's to stop people accidently losing their text.

The BB seems to display the post before the first unread post now, which is good, but when the first unread post is at the start of the page it displays the opening post which is not right.

I'm on about where you are positioned on the page when you display a thread. If the first unread post is post 544 say, it seems to position on post 543. If the first unread post in post 541, i.e. the top of a page, it seems to position on post 1, which is wrong. Ideally it should position on post 540 with the following page showing as well but I guess you won't like that idea.

Kayak,
It *should* position on the page at the place you last read the post (unless that's too near the bottom, then it won't scroll as much)
It shouldn't be a problem (I don't think) to have it jump to the post before. I'll look into that on Monday.

Don't bother! It's already positioning itself at the post before :-) I think it may be a side effect of when you changed the post numbering.
The problem is when the first unread post is at the start of a page, then it doesn't work.

I could still do with a button near to and just under the line so that I can quickly look at the previous post.
Ah well. Ours is not to reason why. Ours is..., well, I forget. ;-)
Anyhow, without one I have to go to the end of all the current postings, find the 'Earlier Posts' button and then click on that. All a bit irksome really.

You can click on the page jump bar at the top of the page to go to the previous page of posts, you don't have to scroll to the bottom at all ;)
There are more design changes going in at some point next week (in light of some of the suggestions made this week) which should fix some of the navigation complaints.

Would it be possible to force references to other sites/pages to open in a new window? I'm fed up with inadvertently shutting down MoneyAM when I've looked at a posted url, instead of using the 'back' button.
I know it can be done by adding target='_blank' to the reference tag, but would like you to consider the desirability/feasibility of doing it automatically within the 'chain' process.

Oh, Al! Let me explain how the world works.
1. A female has a really good idea
2. Men ignore it
3. A man suggests the very same idea..... and
4. Everybody congratulates the man on having a brainwave!
So, do us all a favour and suggest the same idea. I guarantee it will be on the 'Priority: To Do' list and it'll all be sorted.
P.S. Can I send you a list of 'grizzles' that are still outstanding? I could do with a bloke suggesting fixes for them too!

Big Al/Priscilla,
I will pass on your comments to JT abbout this being difficult, but here is the definative answer to how to post a link.
Click the link symbol and enter the url in the box that appears - click OK and then click on the link button again.
Now before the final tag (HTML speak), which is a /a enter the text of your choice such as click here or the
name of the site before the final <
I appreciate that this is not as straight forward as what we used to have, and I will address this with JT

Maybe the 'Pip' explanation could be embedded somewhere where we can all find it. Such as when you click on 'Add Message' and this box comes up with 'Add a post to this thread'. A gap appears under ' You are posting as:' and the grey posting box. Perfect place for a few instructions, eh, Al?

A few points about the new layout. If there is only one post on a thread, ie the post that starts the thread, there is no 'Thead List' button at the bottom of the thread, only the one at the top.
I was one of those who asked for the 'Thread List' buttons etc to be enlarged to make them easier to hit with the mouse pointer. You have enlarged them, but the active area where the pointer changes is still well within the blue background, so the actual target area doesn't seem to have been enlarged. Compare this with the 'Post message' buttons, where the mouse pointer changes as soon as you touch the blue background.
And a small detail: the word 'message' in 'Post message' should be capitalised to match all other buttons.
Our policy is one of continual product improvement:-)

What do you mean 'investors can't be bothered with it all'? Be bothered with what?
A quick count (in the database) of the number of postings made this month show that posting isn't down on last month, or the month before, so I'm unsure where you're getting your information from.
wrt the quote pages, we are going to be readding the list of bulletinboard postings in due course.

Scrolling long threads is very slow, perhaps because of the large number of images in the post headers. E.g. do All Posts on this thread and click the scroll bar on the right hand side to scroll up or down. Not sure if there is anything that can be done.

Don't know, I guess it must be something in the HTML. I've tried to disable images and it still does it so it's not the actual image loading. You could try specifying the height and width of each image explicitly so that it can display the page correctly before loading the images. The other suspect is the Vertical align:middle.

Another idea, some images are 18x18 and others 25x25. Perhaps making them all 18x18 would help.

I may have been wrong about the amount of postings going down it was just my observation, it is a bit of a pain though having to search for a B/Board using the epic search each time.

Unfortunately that stopped working with some other changes that needed implementing, but I'm working on getting it back again.

Thanks Jon.
Re Priscilla's #309 and your reply #312, in "the good ol' days" accessing a thread jumped you to the last post you had read - ie, the last post read was displayed as the first post next time you went to that thread. This gave you a little reminder of where you were, and also confidence that you hadn't missed anything.
The new system (prior to the present fault) takes you to the first unread post. A number of posters requested a return to the old way, to which your (AM) answer was that you could tell where you were from the post numbers.
It is virtually impossible to remember post numbers when accessing many threads several times a day, whereas a reminder of the last post read was invaluable.
Please consider returning to that method.

Piptrader,
I think there's still some confusion as to the use of the term 'jump'.
With 'jumping to a particular post in a thread', I use the #lastread anchor on the URL which causes the browser to scroll down the page to a particular point in the page and that is what I think of with using 'jumping'.
Is that what you mean too?
If it is, then it's done. It'll now auto-scroll to the previous post that you read.

Is there a simple formula to finding old (pre-changeover) threads? e.g. take the thread id number and subtract shoe size, etc. to find its new location?
I was looking for an answer to a technical point to do with refreshing browser pages. A search of the word revealed 5 threads including the word "refresh" in the title. A posting in one of the threads included a reference to another posting in ...tID=111... which is a pre-changeover number and a thread that doesn't include the word "refresh" in its title. How do I find it?

Hi,
I've just made some changes to the bulletinboard which I'm hoping will make it more responsive.
Feel free to let me know if you notice any difference.

Jon - the new board reduced access speed for me by a factor of about 5. I didn't complain because any time anyone mentions speed, it's always held to be 'their' fault!
But now access speed is back to 'normal' - excellent! So it was your fault after all:-)

Jon,
A factor of 5? Really? That's bizarre.
If we are having problems with the site, we are honest about it, and it's not always our users' fault ;)
I added some indexes to a few of the tables and it appears to have worked. Hurrah.

Jon - perhaps 5 was a slight exaggeration; it always seems a long time when you're waiting for something to load. Maybe 3 would be nearer.
And indeed, what most, I think, like about AM is the fact that you are so responsive, and hold your hand up if a problem is your end. So I'll take back 'always', and substitute 'usually':-)
