Too many threads on the same topic (EPIC)     

little woman - 03 Nov 2003 12:32

Am I the only person getting fustrated by seing new threads all the time on the same topics.

I don't mean to be rude, but there is a search facility (I think its case sensitive) so just enter the EPIC and you can find all the threads already there. Also on the Stockwatch lists, if you click on the EPIC, not only do you get loads of info on the share, all the threads are are listed and accessible!!!

It also would be a good idea if the person who started the thread, to go back from time to time to edit and update, their first comment. I think you can e-mail money-am and they can update the heading for you (I think Ian does it) - but suggest you keep it simple - like the name of the company. If people updated their user settings, so that others could e-mail them to ask them to update the thread(it's all done through the money-am administrator, but it does mean that you can't reply directly from the e-mail - only from the the moneyam site) .

It's more interesting to read a discussion on a share over a year than a few days!

Can jules99 (an experienced poster) please explain why she didn't add her RTD comment to the existing thread started by Nitefly?

Fundamentalist.Please do not wait until you get more confidence/or where I
have an understanding.The purpose - just an opinion - is for anyone to offer
anything:whether they are looking for information/help or offering information

B_askin - I think jules99 is a female, but jule99 put me right if I'm wrong!

fundamentalist - I agree with ajren - you don't need confidence or understanding to post. As long as you've read all the posts on a thread, and if you can't find the answer you are looking for, or the posts make you want something clarified - please feel free to post your question.

I think my problem is I'm becoming more intolerant, which may be a bit unfair, but I find it frustrating when someone asks a question which was asked only a few days before, and before that and before that etc. It is so easy to use the "All messages" to quickly review past posts to see what is there already!

LW,

re your last point, I agree, some questions are asked endless times, and whilst I'm sure everyone enjoys helping people that are new to either the BB, or a particular thread, it does become tiresome when the same simple question is asked many times.

Beware, some of the "new people" are in fact well known posters from another BB, and some have more than one logon id!

optomistic - 21 Nov 2003 13:34 - 43 of 55

LW re your posting 30 Nov (no.31)your comments explain the lack of your posts on this BB. I thought that you had gone away on holiday! I and many others will certainly miss your posts on what I can only describe as wide ranging interesting and informative. I do hope that you will reconsider your posting policy and return to the investors BB.

Regards
Opomistic

I agree.I sometimes disagree with her point of view but this is very good
as we can all learn something by looking at the same info in a different way.aj

thanks ajren,
lets hope that many others will join in with their support to encourage LW 'to return'

I'm always suspicious if there are multiple threads they usually have titles like 'next stop 10p', '100 bagger', 'next stop 30p' etc etc. My guess is the creators of such threads are usually trying to offload unwanted stock.

while we're on the subject of threads, it would be nice if they had a favourites function.

Ref : Multiple Treads.I agree with L.W./etc.The situation with Gold is
particularly annoying.I started a GOLD tread to get all treads relating to
Gold on one site.However,this has not happened.Why?

little woman - 21 Nov 2003 14:18 - 48 of 55

Optomistic, I'm still posting on the Investors room, but restricting my posts to the Traders thread in the Investors room.

ajren - 21 Nov 2003 14:19 - 49 of 55

Why ?

ajren - 21 Nov 2003 14:24 - 50 of 55

I suggest the Traders Tread should be removed as its only purpose - in my
opinion-is to cause confusion.

little woman - 21 Nov 2003 14:42 - 51 of 55

Ajren

If you could see the traders thread in the Traders room, you'd understand why it's a good thread, but not used property by enough people in the Investors room.

If the thread was removed - there would be no reason for me to post in the Investors room, and I would go over to the traders room instead. (There are a lot of people over there, far more than in the Investors room that post all the time and never/rarely venture over to the Investors room.)

ajren - 21 Nov 2003 14:54 - 52 of 55

lw.Perhaps you are correct.

........but not used properly by people in the Investors room.Why?I suggest
they,like me,find it confusing and irrelevant.

The site - in my opinion - should only have the page about specific shares.

ajren - 21 Nov 2003 15:01 - 53 of 55

I have looked at the room again and Everything there can be posted on the
specific share site.

This is an amateur site so who is interested in/can understand Pre-Market
Futures ?I do not mean amateur in a critical way.

stockbunny - 21 Nov 2003 15:05 - 54 of 55

I have just begun a thread on ABM, I have checked the 'search' facility
and it appears there are no threads for this company, I hope that is
right as I agree wholeheartedly with the idea of keeping 'repeats' as
limited as possible.

ajren - 21 Nov 2003 15:13 - 55 of 55

Thanks for making the effort to find out.If you cannot find another the chances
are it - in my opinion - never existed.
Can you do something to try and organise all the Gold treads - I suggested
all of them on my GOLD site but no one seems to agree with me.Do you ?
