If starting a thread go to the quote page and type in the EPIC of the company you want. At the bottom of the page will be listed any threads which exist already. The only alternatives would be for moneyam to block there being a second thread created on an EPIC code, though this may be unpopular - some people like to start new threads each year, the traders thread uses the days key results company's EPIC etc or maybe if when creating a thread on an EPIC you received a prompt that a thread already existed and would you rather update that than start a new one.
