Site Suggestions

[Seminole Red]

suggustion;

ive noticed when the mods were changed there are alot of new mods that took on a mod position to see just how many 'mod boards, they could accquire.they are often none participants and do nothing to premote the welfare of the board.

my suggestion is to lower the requirement of a mod to 30 days of no posting, which would result in the dismissal as a mod .next mod in line waiting gets mod position and deleted mod can reapply...

[Big Brother]

I see the new moderator assignments have just taken effect, get ready for PM's to Admin to increase exponentially....lol.....good luck.

Having too many chiefs didn't work for the indians and probably wont work for iHub as well....lol.

What you are asking IHUB to do is bypass this ability so that you can continue to exchange PM's with someone you claim is harassing you or threatening you? Makes no sense to me.

No, this is not what I am asking of iHub.

I am suggesting that IH members who have blocked another IH member from responding to them not be able to send a PM to them. Or if they have sent a PM, that they not be allowed to later block a response.

[Cassandra]

GreaseWD40: FWIW, I never "tried to use your religion against you." I simply asked you some questions via PMs as to how a certain PK stock you promote seems to have been marketed to the Christian community.

As I explained, it seemed to me that the promotion of that stock could have potentially have an affinity fraud aspect. You then blocked me from further PMs.

[GreaseWD40]

Cassandra, I still have the PM exchange. My response to you was telling you I no longer desired responses from you.
I blocked you after that PM.
It required no response from you, but I blocked you just incase you desired to ram your opinion down my throat once again.
You even attempted to use my religion against me.
That is why I decided it was my best interest NOT to associate with an individual such as yourself via PM.
Ofcourse I was NEVER threatening as I am an honest individual who invested in a speculative stock.
That is exactly why IHUB offers the ability for individuals to block others from contacting them and harassing them. No one deserves that.
I posted in this forum suggesting that you block individuals harassing you as well.
What you are asking IHUB to do is bypass this ability so that you can continue to exchange PM's with someone you claim is harassing you or threatening you? Makes no sense to me.
That is all I have to say on the subject.

[Cassandra]

GreaseWD40: Your response is bizzare. You personally are an example of someone who has sent me a PM but blocked me from responding to you -- exactly what I am posting about here.

Your PM to me was not threatening, but was angry and you blocked me from responding.

My whole point is a question as to whether people who send PMs to other members should be able to block them from responding, exactly as you have done with me.

[GreaseWD40]

Block the individual that is sending you threatening PM's.
That seem like a simple solution to me.
I have blocked several IH members from PM'ing me as IH has provided that right.
Having to read the garbage on some boards is enough, but when you get harassed via PM regarding religion etc, that is completely OT.
IH has a set of guidelines that must be followed when posting, but it appears the same rules certainly do not apply to PM's.
Just block them and be done with it.

[Cassandra]

Couldn't iHub enact a code to prevent an IH member who has blocked another IH member from responding to his/her PMs from sending PMs to a member they have blocked?

Couldn't iHub also stop the ability of another iHub member to block responses from another IH member to whom they have sent a PM?

As it is, iHub members can send abusive/threatening PMs and block a response. I recently received an abusive/threatening PM from another iHub member to whom I could not reply because he blocked me.

This is NOT the first time I have been in this situation.

[IH Dan (Retired)]

I see your point but that would mean taking back a PM that was already sent and read. Some members would complain if we did that. It would be like the mailman coming to your house to take back the mail he delivered. :)

The best thing to do is just block the other person so they can't do it again.

[Cassandra]

IH members who have blocked posters from sending PMs to them should not be able to send PMs to those same members that can not be responded to.

I have received threatening PMs from IH members to whom I can't reply because they have blocked me.

If such an IH member sends a PM to someone to whom they have blocked or later blocks the IH member who received the message from respoding, their message should be deleted.

[IH Dan (Retired)]

Ah okay all at once. Sorry didn't realize what you meant. Feel free to suggest it on Q & A. Not sure any geeks or other admin watch this board any longer.

[sidedraft]

Control-F5? I want to do a search of ALL disclaimers, all at once. Does your method do that?

[IH Dan (Retired)]

More Tools/Advanced search. Select Private Message search from the drop down. Hit "Go". Select Author which is you. You have to have yourself Member marked to show in the list.

[IH Dan (Retired)]

Open the disclaimer. Hit CTRL-F5 and type in the search text.

[noquit]

I would like to be able to do a word search within my PM boxes.

[sidedraft]

I would like to be able to do a text search only in the disclaimers from IRPs.

That would be helpful in seeing who is getting paid to pump what.

[Old Hillbilly]

I know you probably Tweeting your board but on the next build could you make the system not show

When you have opted out in settings?
The icons still show up when I try and read "replies" when a post has 10 or more replies it sure takes a long time to load the page.
Tweet ya later.

[ghmm]

How about an option to display the favorites page in two columns thus allowing more items to appear on one page without scrolling.

[Renee]

The time required to moderate multiple boards is dramatically reduced by the efficiency of I-HUB in displaying the moderated boards according to most recent postings.

It really saves a lot of time for a Mod to go to a board with the most recent posts knowing the other boards were already screened to the last time stamp.

That is significant to this Mod and it permits me to be more efficient and timely in moderating.

Two thumbs up, I-HUB.

[sidedraft]

Why not? Because when I plant my butt in my chair my arm reaches out and grabs the mouse. Mouse good...keyboard bad.

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

If you're using keyboard shortcuts to go through the messages (and if you aren't, why not?), B for Board is right next to N for Next.

[sidedraft]

When reading posts one at at time, the last post being read has NEXT greyed.

How about instead of greying NEXT, change that spot on the screen to say, "Top of Board". So that the cursor does not have to be moved to show the board, as if it was newly selected.

[spiderpiller]

I have suggestions for improving the IHUB experience.
I have been using IHUB for about 7 months.
1) Have a seperate window for Chat/twitter type comments. This will improve the quality of the board posting. Only post DD type info.
2) Have a like/dislike button. This lets the poster know that others are reading their posts.
3)Have a "NEW THREAD" button option with the reply button. Currently I have to X out and use my favorites button to re-open the IHUB site, scroll down to posts then hit the "NEW MESSAGE" button to start a new thread. It takes a long time to do.

[Big Brother]

Yeah, your probably right, it sounds good in theory but the shysters would undoubtedly figure out a way to circumvent the system and it would end up worthless anyway. Oh well...back to the drawing board..lol.

[IH Dan (Retired)]

Ha! No chance of that happening. Can you imagine all the complaints and fights that would cause?

[Big Brother]

This has probably been mentioned in the past but what about having a "karma" system in place where we can vote for/against what iHubbers we think are honest or which are shysters.

Just thought about this 5 minutes ago so there may be flaws...lol...however on the surface it would appear to be a good way for newbies to know who they can trust on these boards. You most certainly can't go by the most followed members. Who's the most followed and who is the most trustworthy are two entirely separate things.

[IH Dan (Retired)]

We already have an iphone app and the android app is in development and should be released soon.

Here is the board for discussion of the apps:

[BCIT]

Should create an IHUB app for iphone, android...

[sidedraft]

On the History page for stocks, how about adding a column for VWAP?

The Close is a useless bit of information, without knowing the VWAP.

[gotmilk]

I posted a public "suggestion" to Matt on the Q&A board two weeks ago, and have received no feedback.

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=60380097

Perhaps the appropriate avenue was not IH here, but the marketing department of ADVFN.

I'm not able to locate a marketing contact, but only the following which I can ask for a redirect to the correct person.

I still remember the first time I visited a message board on iHub. All I saw was the iBox (now intro message). That particular iBox was a mess, and I immediately had the wrong impression of iHub because of that. I thought it was a stupid, childish site, and it took me some time to return and get used to iHub. Now I love iHub! But I can imagine some people having the same impression that I had when they first visit iHub. Especially when they visit a stock with a messy iBox.

So my suggestion is to;
a) close the iBox as a standard setting
b) move the iBox under the messages
c) make it optional for the admin to choose the position of the iBox. (below or above the messages, open or closed).

Maybe an option to place iBox information in tabs, instead of in 1 continues page? Like a tab for charts, news, articles, management, video's, etc...
And a notification to users when the iBox gets updated!

It would also be nice to have the option to show the latest headlines above the messages, like it is possible to open or close the iBox and quote page.

iHub doesn't have a rating system, and as a free member, I don't have the option to keep messages in an archive, which is not really a big problem. What I was thinking about was a way to use the kept messages from users as a kind of rating system.
Only the best messages are kept by users. So wouldn't it be a good idea that when a message is kept by a certain amount of users, that they would end up in a "Recommended Message list"? This would make it easier for new visitors to find the most interesting messages more easy. Free users could use a "recommend message" button to ad messages to that list.

Maybe the best messages from all the boards could also be added to a single board as well, as a way to promote certain stocks...

That's about it...

Just wanted to ad that I love iHub now!
Keep up the good work!

[SFGiants]

how about a facebookeque "like button"

[extelecom]

I think it would be nice to be able to sort your kept messages by date or author, maybe even a search of the message content too?

[baglady]

No matter how one sorts them they still are all in one long list to have to scroll through.

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Favorites have been sortable for at least 5 years. Settings, Site Options, Favorite Boards Sorted By.

[baglady]

The one thing that hasn't been worked on is "boards" in the favorites section. Most penny traders have everything from .000 lotto plays to longterm mining stocks to group boards they follow. Would be nice to be able to click on "boards" have a drop down window where one can sort their boards rather than have to scroll down thru a ton of boards to check just one board out.

Thanks, thebaglady

Now I am going to vent a little about some of what I am seeing happen here on Ihub. Once upon a time Ihub was easy to maneuver. Easy translated into speed finding information a trader was looking for.

Now Ihub has gone to the other extreme by overloading traders with information. An example of that is the new "My stock ativity". 90% of that is stocks I have clicked on maybe once or twice at sometime or other and have no interest in at all. If I had an interest in a stock it would be in my favorites.

In the other part of my world I work in the aerospace industry. Over this past year I have had to watch the same things that are happening here on Ihub happen there. I have seen the stress placed on workers. Seen the injuries caused by "lean manufacturing" "kaisen" "getting more with less" etc.

Please not here in this part of my world!!!

[VistaViewer]

OK, Thanks!

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Hmmm... I'm going about my business, see someone lost in an empty room and stop to direct them to the right location to get help. No good deed goes unpunished I suppose.

And to shortcut the argument you're having with Erwin, please clear the cache on your browser. The quote you're so vocal about is correct. Look and see:

[Stock]

Sorry. I'm a 32 year-old woman, and I'm easily offended.

[VistaViewer]

Generic, Sorry if I sound rude.

After posting the bug report THREE TIMES I have just been told to post it, yet again, elsewhere.

The people I am dealing with are being responsive but very unreasonable, and it is starting to really tick me off. I moderate the forum I am trying to get repaired. I am not getting any help-just the good ole runaround. I think I will just pack it in and resign as moderator.

Sorry to take my frustrations out on you, Old Fellow!

VV

[Stock]

Well, there's my problem right there.

Generic, It should be self-explanatory for anyone with half a brain.

[VistaViewer]

Generic, It should be self-explanatory for anyone with half a brain.

I even did a cut and paste of the data-error image from the forum and loaded onto an external photo site, just so I could use it in my post as an exact and precise example of what the problem is. And I explained it fully in the text.

What more could I constructively do to explain it?

Don't bother answering, because this is no longer about just fixing a niggly little site problem. It has ballooned into just one more phony pretext for f**king with my head.

This just reminds my of the old saying: "No good deed ever goes unpunished."

VV

[VistaViewer]

Fine, better yet....

Why don't you create a forum for just reporting site bugs?

That would be a simple and straight forward solution, instead of searching for a likely forum in order to make the problem public.

Make it a link off of the "Contact Us" page, since obviously, the Support Request link doesn't produce useful results.

Look, I'm trying to be pro-active here, in reporting this bug. Personally, I don't care about it. I am just trying to service the forum of which I am the moderator. So I am supposed to be responsive to forum member's complaints, even though they could just as easily work through this maze. The least you admins could do is make this a simple process.

Have a Good Day!

VV

[Stock]

You didn't address your post as a reply to an Admin. How would they know to look for it?

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Well, you can vent here or you can post on a board where someone is actively monitoring for problems like that. This board is not closely monitored as you might have been able to tell by the fact that the post before yours was 4 months ago.

[VistaViewer]

But the problem has NOTHING TO DO WITH "Streamer & Level II"

Look, I've made two attempts to get this fixed. I have filed a Support Request IM and I have posted about the problem on a site-specific forum.

I am not willing to be further led by the nose down the garden path just so you can have some fun. I am way too busy to be playing these silly games.

I have detailed the problem so I am sure you now know about it. Either fix it or don't. I don't really care one way or the other.

VV

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Greetings Admins,

The MKRO forum, which I moderate, has the wrong stock data shown at the bottom of the iBox. It looks like this:



Correct symbol but wrong company Apparently "Mikron JSC" is some company located in Russia, and totally unrelated to MonkeyRock.

Can this problem be fixed? It looks like all that needs to be done is change the "RTS" string to "OTCBB" or something similar, to denote the correct Stock Exchange.

I am getting multiple complaints and "jokes" about it. About 10 days ago I sent an IM in the form of a Support Request, and so far there has been no acknowledgment or change. I guess that was the wrong way to handle this. Anything else I can do to speed up the repair?

VV

[Rich]

Can we design a better way to manage the pictures? Like a page with thumbnails of the hidden/unhidden pictures. With check boxes next to them so it's possible to hide/unhide them more than one at a time. Also, a way to permanately delete them.

[mrpaper]

First, I really, really like the Buzz Cloud and News Sections

But they would be even better if there was some sort of indicator for news when someone rolled their mouse over a stock in the Buzz Cloud (similar to full quote button)or even on the top 15 on the homepage also the News section could be sectioned off (organized) by exchange like the homepage stock scanner.
