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!

ttt - just as reminder before I leave....

Now now little woman, we all agree, but don't go waving the handbag around, O.K?

nj

I don't carry a handbag, but do carry a rucksack.

But it is still happening.......

Just saw the 3rd thread on MMD started. There are some good posts on the other threads which will get lost because people don't realise they are already there.

Also often things that are being asked in the new thread have already in the old thread - so anyone who's been arround a while won't post, as "been there done that, not repeating - so the threads get boring!......

Little Woman is right, there are too many threads all going on the same subject on here. Just one point though, would it be better if the authours of the original threads updated the headline now and again as some are historicaly out of sink with current events??????, can this be physically done by the original authors??, I for one havent worked this one out yet.

gf.

If it is not possible to delete headlines-
Can people edit all their posts in that headline i.e.remove and presss update.
Therefore,it will be a blank page .I do not know-I am merely asking the question

ajren, ive just be messing about with the headlinres and I dont think they can be deleted. Why not ask the original author if he wouldnt mind starting a new thread to reflect present circumstances and just leave a covering note on the old thread something like please divert to new thread. That way the old thread would just drift away and contributors would post on the new thread.

For research posters could still look at the old thread.

Any thoughts on that???.

GF.

Excellent solution

What say you Little Woman as you are the author of this thread???.

cheers GF.

I've added in your comments onto my comments on the top.

Is that better?

Great stuff, little woman. Ill e-mail Ian re - to the GXN thread that needs changing to Pipex.

cheers GF.

Goldfinger / Little Woman,

It's a shame that the system doesn't check for an epic already in existance when a new thread is started and simply reject all subsequent attempts.

Then all you need is a system to check and only allow valid epics, and it's done!

Yup I think your right there. Anyway I have e-mailed Ian and asked him to just change the name and epic of GXN.

cheers GF.

I think Ian may be on holiday this week. Suggest you try Felix?

Blimey little Woman I thought I was commited, what a diamond you are. Your not a female poster on adfvn on the PSION thread are you?????.

regards GF.

Done for you, Ian is on annual leave.

No I don't post on ADFVN. I've been out all afternoon/evening, and got in half an hour ago - I have to know whats going on before I can get to sleep, in case I don't wake up in time for market opening!

LW have a good nights sleep.

regards Gf.

ps, many thanks for the advise on the title changing, thinka lot more want a pre xmas shake up, what say you?????,

Thanks GF - but how come you are still up - do you not need sleep? (Or are you sleeping now?)

Personally I prefer several threads on the same epic codes. There are often reasons for starting new threads with different titles as circumstances change. I have never found it a problem. If you find it a problem then you can always search for threads by epic code. I will not be one who keeps to a single thread per stock as I actually prefer the mutiplicity of threads with different variations on a theme. It really is not necessary to try and impose a regime on what is a pretty free form medium.

Since the threads have reduced the bb has got more interesting. At the end of the day people can do what the want, but personally I was getting to the point were I was no longer reading every thread because it was the same thing over & over & over & over. (In fact it all started when someone started the 9th Thread in 2 months - and 4 of them was by them in the same month).
