Hi SmileyJ!
I mean..Sexy Momma
How've ya been? I haven't heard from you in a while...
Glad you see you jumped in here to play around until we start really working our mojo
I think you will like the end result and find it far superior to RB, Yahoo, and the Fool...and we will eventually be tough competitor with SI (they are very very strong)
You are right. We are taking baby steps and I am paying very close attention to detail and various "viewing" specifics. I am doing this thang the right way and being very picky about it. YOu know me!
FM
I wish the market would turn green soon. It's about to my longs!!! ay yi yi
This is weird. At school, on old computers, the background to the messages shows up as a light yellow/off white.
At home and work, it shows up as the light blue I wanted....
How many people are experiencing this light, ugly RB - looking yellow color?

Randy,
School is going great, my man. Between iHub, trying to get all the paperwork together for STP investment, keeping pace with all of the fine ladies, and doing that thang called school, it's keeping me out of trouble
Back in the will, huh? He'll proably put something like "Hi, Randy, told you that you could be in the will!" <smile> That would be bad lol
Anyways, glad to see you logged on. Lots of goodies to come....that you will enjoy.
FM
Color Question to ALL:
What color is the site showing up on YOUR SCREEN.
I am specifically talking about the color that is behind the messages..to make it easier to read.
It should be a light purple/blue color. If it is showing up on your screen any other color, please post on the thread or email me at matt@investorshub.com and tell me which browswer you are using and what size monitor you have..and the resolution of your monitor if you know.
Thanks!

SafeTPay Performs 1st International ATM-card Purchase Via Internet
Atlanta, GA. April 11, 2000: Internet start-up SafeTPay ( http://www.safetpay.net )
announced today that it's new "SafeTPay" service, which allows consumers to
purchase goods and services and pay bills over the Internet using existing
ATM-cards with PIN (Personal Identification Number), was successfully tested for
International use this weekend.
According to Harry Hargens, CEO of SafeTPay, ðential partners outside North
America wanted to verify SafeTPay's global capability. This weekend, a ential
partner on another continent used an ATM-card issued by a bank on that
continent, to purchase a T-shirt from our web site. This was a true on-line
debit transaction, performed with secure entry of the consumers PIN, from a
consumer's home on one continent, to an Internet merchant here in the USA. A
remarkable historic payment achievement!"
"The service also makes credit card transactions more secure", Hargens
continued. "In addition to lowering risk, SafeTPay reduces fees paid by
merchants, by moving consumers from key-entered transactions to secure
card-present transactions".
"This stration established SafeTPay as the new standard for secure
International eCommerce transactions", adds Gerry , VP of Sales & Marketing
for SafeTPay. "Internet merchants face significant risks with out-of-country
orders. By using SafeTPay, all merchants significantly reduce cost and risk,
for both B2C and B2B markets".
Consumers use a low-cost device attached to their PC, to safely perform these
transactions. Internet merchants are expected to deploy these devices to their
frequent customers, to lower risk and reduce cost.
"Various systems have been proposed for secure eCommerce", continues. "They
use a variety of devices and methods to reassure consumers, but do little to
simplify consumer choice and privacy and address the merchant's needs. Existing
systems simply protect consumers by holding merchants responsible for losses.
But with SafeTPay, everyone is protected. The consumer's data is heavily
encrypted before leaving their PC, and the encrypted data goes to a bank
processor without passing through the merchant's hands. Security methods used
by SafeTPay include and exceed standards followed for transmitting transactions
from ATM machines. SafeTPay has filed for a patent to protect this unique
process".
"We strongly encourage Internet merchants to start deploying SafeTPay now, in
order to have safer, lower-cost transactions for a significant portion of their
business this upcoming Christmas season".

OK, I know waht I am going to do now.
I am going to post on the opening page what isn't working yet.
I have seen some people enter the site that I didn't invite in (not you..like 4 others)
Mailboxes- will clear out soon...
Again, most links arne't functional yet.
How do we gain ground? Not to be disclosed yet. We haven't implemented the ðer apps" yet. And we won't until we are ready to launch, because of the simple fact of stuff leaking.
I'll post the list on the opening page tonight..
So take it eazy my man....it will all be working soon.
FM
DL:
I am assuming you linked in here from CF Letter?
I pointed out that NExt, Previous aren't working yet....among many other things...
I was just letting some of you log in and glance..
As far as the background, somehow , I guess the webmaster switched it on me. I had it a nice blue color...that was really easy on the eyes...(one of my big hangups) it willl change later tonight.
Stay tuned!
FM
I think the reason that it went down is because it sounds too much liek a disease.
Short the fat turd!
FM
Gary:
The post #'s are showing up incorrectly. Maybe you just haven't configured it correctly yet.
But the post #'s need to be "post # out of " for each specific thread..not the total site.
FM
Thanks Anna!
What do you guys think of the colors so far?
Apprealing? Make you wanna puke?
I am trying to make reading easier on the eyes than the other sites. I struggle when I am laboring over millions of messages on a late research night reading the other sites. These colors seem to fit my vision better....
Thoughts?
As always, plenty of changes to tickle your pickle in the coming days...including next and previous!! I know it's killing me too.
FM
I would defintely considering hiring you...
I would want you as a content/community manager to start with. Then, you be da Asia man.
WE'll defintiely talk later as things progress.
MB
Now that's a classic my man!
Blue Plate Special
I like that! LOL
Wow, the site is really friggen fast in Netscape...
Is the site going fairly fast for you guys?
FM
I just changed a few things...they will show up when Gman (the site webmaster) changes them over
Bubba! re: next, previous
Read your email!
I said that next and previous are not functional yet
LOL
FM
Testing out new reply box...
You can't use it yet..but I can
FM
Like I said in the email, you will see functionality added as we go. We arne't even in BETA testing yet.
My goal is to do this online discussion thang RIGHT for the first time. I think the other sites are lacking in various areas.
Watch your questions dude, I can't give away my super-secret plan to overthrow Dave Wetherall's Ragingbull and Horowitz Go2net's Silicon Investor....yet
Stay tuned.
FM
Hey Paul,
I am using many providers in the begining, but ValueClick gets the top spot because they are offering the highest pay-rate.
From what i have seen, the site loads and then the ad loads.
The main reason I added a second ad was because the pages were loading so fast the ad never had time to make it up there for the user to see, so we defintely don't have a problem there.
I didn't even know ValueClick had gone public yet...wow, I gotta watch the stock market more often. <grin>
FM
Yo! Ernie,
I would like to see an analyst write that about iHub one day
"This is going to be big, real big!" - Some dude from Star Trek
FM
Hallelujah!!!
Somebody read the directions for once! LOL
You are the first person on the first try to use the Text Features correctly ... heck, even I messed up on my first try
The ability to create your own thread is coming this week to a site near you. Along with plenty of other features.
<smile>
FM
Paul:
Yes, that is a feature that is coming
I will reduce the amount of space between the text features and the Submit box.
BTW, what browser and what size screen are you using?
FM
Cool!
Most interested in the ability to create your own thread....
FM
Better page for altering the table backgrounds....
http://www.24hourhtmlcafe.com/colors/cyellow.htm
I like the shades of purple..whatever makes it easier on the eyes for reading....that is the goal behind it...
FM
More changes - (I can handle these)
Font in the "board" area(board.asp)/boards.asp change to times new roman, arial, to match rest of the site
Background colors on read msg and reply msg (or post msg) to Silver rgb=#E6E8FA
get rid of border color..very ugly..have NO border color
I point this out, because I am at school testing it out on various browsers, OSs, machines, etc
MB
Site will get active in a few days (this weekend)
http://www.investorshub.com/beta/read_msg.asp?message_id=187&board_id=10&cat_id=22&cat_title=Gary+and+Matt&board_title=Stuff&M=False
FM
It's about to get active in here....
OK, For the 15 of you I have let in so far <G>, it's about to get active in a few days.
As soon as GMan adds the create-a-thread button, I wiill let others through the door. I will let the first 200 BETA testers take a gander at the site.
He will then begin adding more functionallity such as next, prev, etc. (we are both working full-time jobs, so it's a stretch, until the site gets up)
But next, I will add a Live! button....that will incorporate live chat features along with a place to hold various other "live" events...Watch over the next few days, hopefully this weekend!
FM
P.S. Thanks, though, to the 20 of you who got a jumpstart and started offering suggestions!
OK, I give up on this market. I saw it almost touch - 600 pts...

Nice!
The box is too wide (the read_msg.asp) one...
And the reply box (the one I am typing in right now) goes wayaccroos my 15 in screen...
Just a note.
FM - who isn't messing with anymore code
I have to do MY job which is getting investors and executing deals! wahoo
Now that I think about that, that's kind of a good thang, IMO
That means that nobody can even look like they are trying to be you..or get confused with you...
Like, you can't be FattMatt or fattMatt ... I kind of like that idea! Didn't even know it existed
FM
LOL! Wazzzuppp Ernie!
PAID..you've been hyping that sucker for years..<GGG>
Just kidding dude...I'm still long and strong on ACCR...
POS don't partner up with CISCO baby!
Phatty
Scratch the ad problemos....fatty nailed em!! wahoo
So what do you thinK?
Am I advancing in my coding skills? LOL
We just need to fix the identifiers..it says you need to make some kind of JavaScript code to generate ID #'s
Good luck
Matt
I"m sure it's some stupid code i misdid...but ADS
are NOT loading in Netscape..but are in IE>..
weird...
FM
REplying
I think what was happening is tht I was doing it @ school..our computers are screwy there anyways becaues of the firewall..it was loading up "HTTP 400 error"
It works @ the hosue now
Matt
Two mo' thangs -
Maybe you are toying with the database, but I can't reply to an individual message..I have to hit post new message.
And we also need Post #'s for each post.... Like Post # of ###
(it makes it MUCH easier for reference..and people do this ALL the time)
All of the above impot'nt befo da beta test
Matt
Da NEXT and da Previous beez not workin
From the looks of it....all we really need now from the BETA point of view...
1)Is for the NEXT, PREV to work....
2)The INBOXES to clear when you read the public replies....
*Change InBox to Private Mail
*Change Replies to Public Replies
*And if you can, put the public replies on top of the Private Mail..as in the first one you see is Public Replies.
3)*MAYBE* THE private messages to work...
4)And switch over to Foster's "header"
5) The front page isn't all that important right now. We just need to test the infrastructure.
Matt
