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.

JT,

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.

Re Mirrors, it may be significant to those who subscribe.

TJ - there's nothing else for it - oops doesn't cut it.
You'll just have to go back and renumber them all :)
What've you been doing all day?

I like 90% of the changes, especially the icons next to the name etc, but the blue text on the main page of topics is just awful, like having a bentley in yellow!

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.

I agree. It's too abrasive. I know about these things.

ThePlayboy,

The blue colour is exactly the same blue as the old board.

J.

Hmm. Thought I'd found a problem. But maybe not.

JT,

Thanks for replies, was only trying to clarify...

Kyoto,

What possible problem?

J.

no you have def changed the tone:)

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.

Congratulations on the changes. The change in brightness of the blue and greys make it much easier to locate my favourite threads.

When squleching a user, you now have to type in the user name rather than it being an automatic process as before. Any chance of an update?

pth

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.

J.

Can we discuss this further please TJ? ;)

http://www.moneyam.com/TradersRoom/posts.php?tid=51#lastread

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.)

J - if I write a dollar figure - e.g. .50 (thirty-five dollars 50 cents), it ends up as .50 cents unless I put a space between the dollar and the figure, e.g. $ 35.50

Bit of a problem cutting and pasting parts of US news stories under the circumstances.

What has heppened to the create thread feature when reading a thread?

What format can images be appended to the post? Please

Perhaps it might be a good idea to put some 'Thread buttons' just underneath 'the line', sorta higher like, like wot we 'ad before.
