The Question and Answer Board (IHUB)

[IH Dan (Retired)]

CCleaner can do it if he wants to download a program and run it. I think I gave him the easy quicker way for his particular problem.

[Pipa]

I notice quite a few folks have that same problem...Why not
just suggest installing CCleaner?

[PayDirt!]

I haven't been able to get to the home page for almost a week now, is something wrong? Also some site will not let me click on messages.

[lrice]

I've looked and can't find an old boardmail offering to dress up the ibox for wtwo. Do you have a way to search "iBox " in the last two years directed towards my boardmail?

Larice
Larry A Rice

or maybe just show me some sample code on a good looking page.

wtwo ibox is in need of new clothes for upcoming news

thanks

Why it is that admin will forever shove professionalism down the throats of posters or board members yet fail to extend that same courtesy? I was recently removed from a board as being moderator without notice, or explanation. Talk about rude and unprofessional! I do not live and breathe IHUB, so I was not terribly bothered by the act, but I found the lack of professional courtesy to be rude.

Moreover, to add insult to the injury, the person whom I suspect has something to do with that action, could not be more annoying to that board or it's members. Certainly makes one wonder what is happening behind the scene. I guess now I have to hear people younger than my kids explain to me about how to behave in public.Still don't know the rule I may have violated, but this does not come as a surprise. Too little too late.

[Churak]

oopsy

[jk21]

I will try that, thank you.
It still makes the board choppy, but hey this is america, what're you gonna do

[IH Geek [Dave]]

You can ignore replies to ignored users too. Check your ignore settings.

Bottom line you get to control what you read, not what other users post or read.

[Siforus]

How many deletes does it take and over what time frame to get banned or thrown in jail?

TIA

[Rich]

I don't think so.

[imgoingfishing1]

thanks rich that worked, i wonder if this chart withh keep up to date? seein its a pic i dont think it will.

[Rich]

I don't see it either. I usually right click on the chart and save it to the hard drive then import it to iHub through 'My Pictures'.

It works for me.

[imgoingfishing1]

is there some reason ihub is not on the share link for charts on stockcharts anymore? or am i donging something other then correct?

[jk21]

i said should.

[Churak]

have you read the rule re SPAM that was shown to you? They can post the exact same post twice per day every day forever on the same board...that ain't against the SPAM rules...case closed...move along...

[jk21]

copy and pasting the same nonsense from monday to tuesday to wednesday to thursday etc. should still be within the spam definitions. it's hard to believe that it's not.

i can understand changing some wording here and there and get by it, but cunning linguists they are not. they can hardly put a sentence together as it is, so they have to rely on copy/paste. it's sad but it's beyond annoying now.

[Stock]

rest. it's good for you

[Churak]

i don't see why the the free spamming poster can't be dealt with accordingly?

Simple...cause it ain't SPAM...lol...there are some very cunning linguists on this site that know how to post just within the TOU and while they may not be violating the letter of the SPAM rule, they certainly are violating the spirit of the rule. They know just how to push the envelope without getting sanctioned; it's a pisser but there you have it...

[jk21]

tried that. makes the board just as unreadable since nearly all the replies are directed to these ignored posts. this has been going on for months, maybe even the whole year. i don't see why the the free spamming poster can't be dealt with accordingly? like all other jokers that come through ihub

[Stock]

you grubby grubmeister you!

[Churak]

who said that?

LMAO

[Stock]

bah. put the repetitive poster on ignore and ignore their crap.

you'll live longer not worrying about it

[Churak]

I doubt it

well, duh!!! Then how about fixing it! lol...it used to work...but then again, I never used to get stupid popups when logging in every day...that sucks, BTW...


EDIT:

GURB

[Churak]

yeah...it does hang...

[IH Dan (Retired)]

I doubt it BWTHDIK. I've never used anything in that list except Board search and Member search. They have other things in there? :)

[jk21]

i was referring to free/registered members.
what do they pay for.

I'm certainly paying a higher cost because of his spam.

[Stock]

does PM search work anywhere?

i usually have to put at least 3 non-common words in there to find something these days, otherwise the search just hangs

[IH Geek [Dave]]

I understand the spam helps your site's post count but at what point do free posters get so much protection over your paying customers?

Everyone pays to use this site, and posting is free.

[Churak]

Is PM SEARCH working in the upper right box vs using ADVANCED SEARCH?

[jk21]

Counting only certain kinds of spam doesn't really make much sense. Not for your customers, at least.
I understand the spam helps your site's post count but at what point do free posters get so much protection over your paying customers? at what point do you sacrifice the post count in favor of actual quality for your paying customers?

[lucky, mydog]

The same post is copy and pasted every day.
No other discussion or thoughts provided, simply reposted. every day.

plainly and simply, what you just described does not qualify as spam under the tos.

[lucky, mydog]

did you see dan's reply to you?

[jk21]

without further information, it is difficult. that's why i've asked a question on "The Question and Answer Board."

[lucky, mydog]

i could be wrong

reflect on that awhile.

[IH Dan (Retired)]

Sorry but that does not violate the TOS. Please don't bother reporting it.

[jk21]

it does. it suggests to me that the poster are untouchable or protected. i could be wrong, but that is certainly how it seems.

[jk21]

The same post is copy and pasted every day.
No other discussion or thoughts provided, simply reposted. every day.

[lucky, mydog]

well, then that should tell you something.

[jk21]

I've done that about a hundred times over the last two weeks. then i just gave up and starting publicly replying with "spam" every time.

[IH Dan (Retired)]

Posting the same/similar message to more than two boards or more than twice in one day on one board is considered spam.

You are sending TOS reports that a post like this is SPAM:

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=75874260

Could you explain how that violates the TOS spam rule?

[lucky, mydog]

hit the "report tos violation" button. click on spam, and then document your case in the comments section.

[jk21]

allowing certain posters to spam despite the site's rule against it.

[lucky, mydog]

what double standard would that be?

[jk21]

I've got a question about treating posters with a double standard on the BCAP board. Does anyone have an answer? At least explain in PM please, tia.

[multivalue]

Admin,

Ever since yesterday at about 2:30 EST Ihub takes 50% more time to load.

Some images are not coming through.
All day yesterday (when it wasn't completely not working) there was 'popup' window that kept coming up advertising something.

I am using Wind XP SP3
Chrome
No changes to firewall or internet/intranet.
No new software downloaded etc.

Something is afoot though. Works normally (except for new popup) at home computer.

Thanks

"Maybe we should start a board."

How about:

Board for Interchange of Terse Communications with Hicks?

As joint Mods we could be as popular as we already are on ITNS, or on our late-lamented collaboration on AQLV.

[Slojab]

Great. I'll reciprocate, of course. ( :

Maybe we should start a board.

Something along the lines of the PersonMark Exchange board.

[sunspotter]

"You do this free of charge?"


For you, anything.

For Churak, obviously there would be a punitive sliding scale of charges.

[Slojab]

You do this free of charge?

he PMs me with the text he would like the offender to receive and I forward it to that poster on Churak's behalf.

I've been looking for someone who provides this essential service!
