**Favorites Feature**
This has been requested hundreds of time this week -- this is what we are working on as you read.
Should be live by this weekend.

**iHub Live!** New Module
We have just added full-featured Chat software.
You can email Support to create an open, no password-required room, or start up your own password-protected room on your own, by clicking New.
A password will eventually be required to gain access to the program. Visit the Live! page (clickable from the top) to test it out and learn more.
MB
**Profiles** New Module
The profiles are now live. There are a few edits to be made, but they are up for the most part. You can edit these by clicking on Edit My Profile (which will eventually move from hanging there in mid-air
The profiles are a neat feature because they open the lines of communication a little more and allow people to get to know one another better.
This also lists all of their posts, which will be easily navigable, eventually.
You may also choose to enter Message Signature. This will append whatever you put in the Msg Sig box to the bottom of every message you right. If you always sign post the same way, it will save you a little typing!
The profiles will also be searchable and will have the ability to send a Private Message from the top of the profile.
If you have comments or suggestions for this, feel free to add them on the "More Suggestions" board.

Steve,
See if it all works the way you requested. We liked your ideas.
MB
I'll send you a PM to test it out.
iBox - Now Fully Editable
The iBox is now available to be edited at any time. This option automatically pops up to the "Chairman" of a particular board.
As you can imagine, this provides a wide array of possibilities not only for the boards, but for US to add options. We have other features we will be integrating into "Options" but feel free to use it how you would like.
My original thoughts are to use it to post: Daily Stock Picks that NOBODY misses, Keep up to date with the float of a stock, post an important Press Release, or to announce things to a team/board for any purpose.
If you have any suggestions, please feel free to add them to the Suggestions board.
Matt
Ticker (within Adding A New Board)
The ticker will be used within the database to directly access a thread. You can make it a one-word "ticker" of whatever you want.
We just ask that you reserve the real stock tickers for the stock threads. Like Club Fatt, I gave it the ticker, "FATT"
When we implement the search/direct entrance system, you could simply type in "FATT" and it will take you to Club Fatt.
Obviously, we expect you to put in DELL for the Dell Computer thread.
Have at it!

New Module - New Boards/iBox
I won't bother explaining how the rest of the site works, coz most understand it. But I will explain this new feature we added yesterday.
You must be logged in to create a board. You may create a board within ANY category on ANY topic/stock.
The iBox is the box of explanation that is at the top of every thread. New features will be added to this iBox. It will be one of my favorite parts once complete. I'll explain that later.
Ciao!

Bernard!!!!
You have some EXCELLENT ideas. Gary and I haven't really posted back to you one some things, but we are greatly impressed with some of the nit-picky ideas you have come up with...
I like them. Keep them flowing. You make an excellent point. I am trying to keep it clutter-free as possible, so adding a BAnner to the "clickback page" is an incredible idea...
cool beans
You are da man when we exapand into Asia..hell, we might just hire you in America/Canada first!
MB
Yo! RTS!
I'm glad somebody appreacites the input box....
I had to fight hard for her LOL IT was actually way way bigger it used to take up the whole friggen screen, but it showed up really bad on some screens.
The nice, easy, clutter-free screen stays bro. I'm not cluttering it up with ads. Just "modules" will be added and all that is is extra pages, options, and behind the scenes stuff. The only thing will be the iBoxes, which I think EVERYBODY will like
MB
TEsting out links
http://www.mattisthesexiestmanalive.com
No coding..let's see if she works..
P.S. I hear that site gets millions of hits a day.
<grin>
MB
YO! Bernard:
I wasn't accusing you of anythiing.. <grin>
I knew you didn't do anything, it was just wierd that you told me about them and then all the sudden I get an email from them.
I am not worried about them at all. We are in two different leagues. It looks like they are after more of a "analyst content" feel, whereas, I am gearing more toward a "user-driven content" site that is very interactive.
We'll see. I love competition. It creates innovation, which creates wealth which Fatt Matt likes <smile>
MB
Bernard:
The space I am talking about is really un-noticable except to picky people like me
I won't even point you there. I see the underline space you are talking about now..good eye!
regarding advertising: you make a very good point. I like the idea of buttons. We might switch it over to that. We have a wide array of options there. But the banner/buttons will be there for people when they scroll down and see the Replies to a message...I ALWAYS read the replies to a message. So it is for those people...
You'll see some nice navigation changes made tonight with the next, previous buttons...
Haven't gotten the chat yet...BTW, who spread a rumor around that I was setting up a site similar to thestockpit.com ? I just got an email talking about it??!
MB
Bernard:
Register: It seems to work nicely the way it is right now. We might change down the road.
You talking about that space up there next to the names? Post by: _Bernard ? I picked up on that last night....Gary and I are meeting tonight and will edit that out. ( i can't change the pages myself or he threatens to open a can of whoopass on my and my keyboard) <smile>
What do you think of:
Current colors
The 2nd ad under replies?
I ask, coz i know you are hard on sites...and thaz a good thang dude
MB
Check it out...
This actually helped the pages out. Especially us!
Since the pages were loading so fast, I tossed in an extra banner...The site runs just as fast and the banners load at precisely the right time..
Take a look -
http://www.investorshub.com/beta/read_msg9.asp?message_id=195&board_id=10&cat_id=22&cat_title=Gary+and+Matt&board_title=Stuff&M=False
Don't switch it over yet, because I might want to put VC at the top and Advertising.com at the bottom..IT seems the VC "refreshes" in any browser..so it would be best @ the top, since the top page being called seems on some browswers to go into cache. I'll play with it when I am done working tommorow..
OK, Big Mouth is off to bed.
MB
Also, amazingly, our pages are going to fast! LOL
now that's problem to have!!
On my screen (it probably has to do with my 56k connection) the page is loading so fast (wahoo!) that the banner isn't even hardly making it on screen by the time I am done....
We might be placing an "identical" banner at the bottom of the messages to match the top. Will have to think.
Wow, I am posting a lot of thoughts publicly..
Took a nap..ready to partay man!
MB
Disregard my email...sort of...
It appears it was a setting in IE...
That you have to pick to refresh every page ever time you go to it...Very weird. I do'nt know what the "default" setting is on most people's browsers..hmm...
It worked fine with netscape. Must be a browser setting of "storing" it instead of reloading it..hmmmm...Will have to think about this one!
MB
A stock with the dreaded EEEEEEE! ....
on the end actually has earnings?! Definitely gotta check out that sucker...Or did you mean revenues...
Hmmmm....
MB
Let me see if I can do the text features now....
OK, Matt, follow the directions...
http://www.otcbbpulse.com
p.s. we are going to change it where you can just post a link..and not code..but for now...we have that...
Bernard is a guru
LOL

We'll see if the mojo flows or not
MB
I could defintely afford to sell 1/2 @ 20$/share....
No complaints
MB

Top twenty ways to tell if you're in the wrong stock;
(Mike, this doesn't remind of you of any PARTICULAR stock does it? <smile>)
1. Shareholders are happy because their only down a few percent for the day.
2. Management confuses high technology with automobile components.
3. Management thinks "CEO" means "Chief Executive Optional"
4. The future is so bright analysts can't cover it or they will be
permanently blinded.
5. Company relies upon IPR but has never won a lawsuit.
6. Company is run by lawyers.
7. If the lawyers are lying, you lose.
8. If the lawyers are wrong, you lose.
9. If the lawyers are incompetent you lose.
10. Discussing fundamentals is considered taboo and off-topic.
11. Russian roulette is safer because there is only one bullet out of six
chambers.
12. A new office is considered major news even if there is no product for
sale.
13. There is a cult like mentality surrounding the shareholders.
14. Shareholders look up to people who are only wrong 25% of the time even if
it's the most significant 25%.
15. You feel the urge to keep averaging down.
16. The chart is beginning to resemble a waterfall.
17. The money doesn't matter anymore, you just want to be right.
18. When standing on bridges you discover an affinity for day-dreaming.
19. Management thinks PR means "private report"
20. The competition isn't worried.
Gary,
One thing that I don't remember adding to the To-DO list was under Posted BY: Fatt Matt, we need to put In reply to: Gman (post#)
and hte post # is clickalbe
put it above the date, below the person who wrote it
MB
So, is it comfy?
I am glad you think it's cool so far...
As a famous quote says: "We have not yet begun to fight" We aren't really going to fight..(I don't think), but my main man Gary (Gman) has just started cracking his fingers..and my brain has just started leaking...
You will see lots of "modules" added soon. And the links will work...chat, and interface will have same feel, but more "stuff" like postable links, etc..
and the message will clear out of your mail box...(the privs will stay until YOU clear)
I plan to make a very clear introductio nto the system..since I expect most user to come from RB in the begining. This is a VERY diff system from RB...
