How to post a screen shot:
This has been asked quite a bit lately, so I wanted to link to it in our Wiki....

>>1. How do you add a stock to the My Stocks list if there is no iHub board for the stock in question and you don't want to create one?
There's a quick and easy form to add a stock to IHub when you try to add one that doesn't exist as a board. It won't make you moderator - it'll just create the board with the name & Ticker so that you can add it to your MyStocks.
>>2. What is that thing in the upper left corner of my profile page?
Should have a better 'default' image by tonight/tomorrow live, but it's where your profile picture is going to go. Meatloaf/Dave are almost done with it. If you want to tinker with it before it's really live, go to Other and upload and/or select & crop. The steps to getting there and adding it are a bit confusing at the moment, but that will be fixed on the next build.
As to the Christmas tree we planted in Favorites, Dave yanked the water dish from under it and it's gone grey. Should be easier on the eyes.
Well done. You were the first to add one. :)
Updates to Quote page:
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=squote&symbol=GOOG
*Changed the charts from the yellow/grey to white (better looking)
*Added numerous chart options under the Yearly chart, so you can quickly flip between various time intervals
*Added Recent Videos section to list all videos related to the ticker you're viewing a quote for
Take special note of the videos section on the quote page, I think we're way ahead of the curve here and will continue to see the value and number of videos increase.....
While I'm a long-time Crackberry man, I'm going to make my prediction:
Three platforms will matter in the future.
1) Nokia in Europe
2) Iphone in the US
3) Google-Android in the US (which I'd guess will end up killing Blackberry down to Corporate Users, then buy RIM for the email push technology, add it to Android)
I've been eyeing some of those sexy Android phones....on the verge of cracking.....likely to happen when contract is up for renewal.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, everybody! Another year, another patch of hair on the top goes missing. Pfffft!
Despite the hair loss, I think some of my best iHub brainstorming has been happening lately and I look forward to showing all the fancy new tricks off soon.
Cheers, all!
There doesn't seem to be much difference between the Spot Price and the price on the homepage of iHub (which you can use as a streaming chart by clicking). Is that normal?
Or did you just like the layout/color of the chart you sent?
Any market data requests?
Is there anything out there that you go to other sites for - market-data wise -- what you wish IH/ADVFN had?
Like Eminis? Better commodities? Realtime Gold? Goat milk futures? Better Forex? Anything like that.
We've got an opportunity get some new types of feeds. Wanted to see if there were any requests for specialized data that'd be nice to see here.
Cool - you've got a GREAT looking MyStocks page. Thanks for being one of the early adopters!

My Stocks: Create New Board added
In response to you and others wanting to add stocks that we don't have on Ihub, we've added a new box, courtesy of GEEK DAVE, that makes it super simple to fix that -- and also make it possible to discuss the stock, too!
When you add a stock to MyStocks..and it's not there...it asks you for TWO pieces of information (Name & Industry) and then it's created. You aren't even added as Moderator. Just adds the board and you're off to the races.
I realllly like this because it'll end up creating a lot of stocks and especially Big Boards that we don't have.....
On the NYMHD Board, we are unable to get a quote.
"You do not have a valid stock selected. Please enter the symbol in the box above and click 'OK'"
Can that be fixed, please?
This will be fixed by tomorrow AM.
I'm getting the same error. I've reported it to the dev team to investigate. Thanks for letting me know!
Try it now. Board created.
As I noted, that's one issue we're not sure how to address. It's a plus and minus...
#msg-51114566
hand,
One of the upsides and downsides is that it's tied to boards on Ihub.
If you add a stock that Ihub doesn't have in it's *boards*, we encourage you to add it. This results in new boards and more discussions, so that's a good thing!
The downside is if someone tries to add something, we don't have it, and they don't want to add the board....which I can understand.
I'll see what I can do with ADVFN to see what boards we're missing an auto-generate the ones we're missing.
In the meantime, all the ones you've asked for, I've created, so you can add them to your My Stocks now.
Thanks for letting us know!
Joe,
This new feature was mostly inspired by you and your profile updates to your Favorite Stocks section -- took the ball and ran with it and we're making it a much bigger part of Profile and iHub as a whole.
Check it out #msg-51112782
No copyright claims, please.
Favorites > Profile & Top Lists
In other updates...
When going to someone's profile via your Favorites, you're taken to their messages instead of their About page. Want to see how this goes before we make the change elsewhere. The logic is that if you have Peoplemarked the user, you're likely after their posts, first....so we should take you there, by default. If they aren't from your Favorites, you'll see their About page first.
The Top List on the homepage has been updated to be a bit more visually delicious and we've added an American flag to it. :)
Important New Feature: My Stocks
This is a very exciting one...and beautiful to look at, too!
There is a new tab on everybody's profile called "My Stocks." This is a very organized area to store your favorite stocks. We've taken it a bit farther than that, though. Along with listing the stock -- and it showing a quote and a news alert if any news is out in the last 24 hours -- you get to make a quick pitch! You have 300 characters to tell the world why the stock is great. You can use all the same styling elements found in writing posts (bold, italics, links, etc).
The ticker links to a quote. The company name links to the iHub board.
A pitch is not required. It'll simply list the stock in your profile in a list.
Dave has an example set up on his profile:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/ProfileS.aspx?user=21785
Cool, huh?
This is the start of a much larger project that we're building the groundwork for. Using the stocks stored in My Stocks, we do all kinds of clever 'what's hot', trending tickers, pitches by stock, etc....so definitely add your favorites to your My Stocks!
Also, while profiles require a login to see, you can share your My Stocks anywhere on the 'net and it can be viewed without a login/registration.
To add to your My Stocks, simply go to your own Profile and click your My Stocks tab -- and there will be an Add Stocks box. Should be self-explanatory from there.
This is brand-spankin' new, so please feel free to comment on it and report any bugs....
Kudos to Dave on this one. Brilliant work, Sir.
Jim,
Thanks for letting us know. I have some great memories of Raymond. He was a very passionate guy about...well...everything. And especially IDCC and this board.
I was even lucky enough to get some of his ribs and mind-altering homemade lemoncello!
A great guy and he'll be missed by me, for sure.
Send my best wishes to his family.

It's there for me -- it's not for you? Or it just links to something different than you want (About vs Messages)?
Unrelated questions:
Is anybody getting the ADVFN header when going to certain pages on the site (like Settings)?
Is anybody's index quotes not showing on the homepage (number & change under the graphs on homepage)?
The one on profile? It's working.
I've pointed out the issue to DAve -- while it takes, when the profile reloads after doing the Add, it doesn't reflect fast enough and the page loads and seems like you haven't added them. Another refresh will show that it did indeed work.
It's noted for Dave to poke and probe at.
Dave is going to make 'About' the default when clicking on Profile. I spotted another reason to convert it over, besides the fact is just so beautiful -- when on Messages, there's so much 'blue' crammed in the top left, you might not even realize tabs actually exist. On the About page, however, you see the tabs straight away.
Like I said, there's a lot coming to profiles and those tabs will be crucial for ...<biting tongue>...okay, will say later.
Bingo! Whoa - trix knows what Twitter is? Have you been peeking over the shoulder of your kids while they surf the 'net again?
Trixie,
You can get to it by going to Hot! > [Dropdown] > Post Stream
It's not quite ready for primetime so it's intentionally hard to find. Mr Meat has a new version coming out soon.
You, especially, will like it once it's done. All the messages from your favorites boards and people will show up on the screen automatically, by the second, instead of you having to refresh and such....
Yes, the new paging stuff at the bottom was a significant enhancement!
>>The new Profile page layout is horrible I really hope you all change that back to the way it used to be.
Oh my. I think it's waayyy better. It's not complete yet and it has a LOT of cool stuff to be added to it, a few things I don't want to mention yet. We're greatly expanding the purpose of Profile and how it'll be used.
However, I think I may understand where some of the issue may be. I'd wager it's in the default page you get dropped off at.
We've always shown the "About" part, wasted a pile of white space, and then shown the messages.
The assumption is you only occassionally check out the About part (not updated too often), but are most interested in the actual Latest Messages (updated many times per day). That's the reason for it being the default.
Is that it? If so, I think I've got a solution that makes sense -- show About, first, on anybody who is not a PeopleMark; show Messages first, on anybody that is.
I must say though - the new About page is nothing short of gorgeous.
We're already working on it. We'll end up linking to this page:
http://learn.advfn.com/index.php?title=Trades
Ah, thanks for reminding me. I've needed to talk to Mr. Meat about some 'noise' tickers that are showing up. I'll see if we can filter those and a few others out.
When the boys release the next bit of code, there will be a full paragraph explaining what the buzz cloud is and how it works. So, should do the trick.
Hey BB, congrats on cracking 10,000 on the Top Boards list!
First time in iHub history!
I'm going to attempt to make the current cloud image bigger and stick all the tickers inside of it.....
Breezin,
Very happy for you to report this to us. If you can send me as much detail as you can - screenshots of it, what your program says, etc it'd be very helpful.
If anything bad is indeed being shown via iHub ads, we most certainly want to kill it, but as it slips by the ad networks themselves that have dedicated teams to filter out such things, we need as much info as possible to target it and get them to remove it. There's thousands of ad campaigns going on at any time. The ones we are directly responsible for are scanned/filtered for such things and we've yet to have an incident with those...
Please email anything you can as far as screenshots,etc to support@investorshub.com and we can pass it on the right people immediately.
Thanks!
New Buzz Cloud and Hot Menu:
OK, we've got a big change to Buzz Cloud and a new navigation system.
1) When you go to any Hot! page --Breakout Boards for example -- you'll notice in the center the name of the page and then a dropdown menu. The dropdown menu was added because we had so many features, we were spilling off the page. So we consolidated it into a dropdown, which is quite nice after you give it a few tries. Plus, it cleans the page up so there isn't this giant spread of text on the page that isn't related to the page you're on.
2) Buzz Cloud - big change here. The old buzz cloud was based on searches done by premium members. The new buzz cloud is based on tickers mentioned in posts by all members. This gives a much more accurate sampling of tickers being mentioned on the site and the feature itself is actually more predictive than reactive in nature. And a super groovy improvement to it -- time intervals. You can click any time frame to see the Buzz Cloud for the last 24hr all the way down to 1hr. Way cool! It'll be an interesting page to 'sit on' and see what goes from small text to larger text.....could present some trading opportunities.
There were some other updates as well, image changes, etc. As always, we've got some really cool stuff in the pipeline and rather cutting edge stuff as well we're working on. Looking forward to showing it off.
New Blog Entry: Stock Market Videos Updated
http://newstuff.advfn.com/
Some groovy additions to the Videos page -- http://ih.advfn.com/videos
Seeing some real growth and interest by both viewers & contributors!
>>Will you assk them and if not how can we get mobile L2??
That's something I'm actively working on with ADVFN at the moment (and learning quite a bit!). I'll have an update in a couple of weeks, most likely, as to the plan and time frame.
In the interim, if you have an iPhone, and you know your IHub/ADVFN login (ih_[accountid]), you can go to www.advfn.com on the iPhone and use the streaming & Level 2.
CONGRATS to all the winners! Thanks especially to Original, Lentinman, and Dadd for keeping track of all the WAGS and entering them into the system.
I've credited all the winners with their extra months. We had several folks win subscriptions that were free users -- hope you guys enjoy all the benefits of the premium sub!
As a side note - what an incredibly loyal community we have here. 50 million messages!!!! Are you kidding me?! I remember when I would treat myself to a dozen Krispy Kremes to celebrate 20 messages in a 24 hour period.
Hope everybody is profiting out there!
Best,
Matt
