Aside from the great learning boards at ihub,
(INVESTOR HELP: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=6798 )
you might want to mark the following link
for dictionary reference as well as some
basic SEC filing information and a nice beginner page...

What trading company should i choose, Ameritrade, e-trade, fidelity...???
here is one that boasts zero dollar fees
(free trades) if you're not trading options:

Regarding reading the replies to posts, I have noticed that I must return to the original post to retrieve the board link.
Perhaps the link to the board we are reviewing could
stay on top of the screen while we are reading up a thread.
Thank you.

Nearly two years of looking at these boards and I've never once seen any poster in need of deletion or ban.


That is the sign of good mods on the boards you follow.

The only private message of yours that
ihub would read, is one that you could've easily
have sent to Ihub Admin to ask why you've marked them.

OK, I'm back and caught up with all PMs.

Probably tommorrow, everybody will see 'IH Admin' in their favorites and on the Contact Us. PM that account for Admin issues. It shows up in an Admin Queue that is on top of all Admin's screens - you'll get the fastest response/reply that way.

Major, major improvement.

This will also keep people from sending out 3-4 copies of the same message to EACH admin. Drove me nuts.

When an Admin replies to the PM, it will be moved to that Admin's account, so any replies/dialog will happen with THAT Admin if it requires any further discussion.

SGGC BOARD: You may notice that you have some removed
posts, mostly as "off topic".

These posts are a part of threads started by a poster
who is no longer on ihub.

When you check through your personal file of deleted
posts, always check to see if your posts was in response
to a formerly deleted post.

Please do not discuss the thread nor the poster as it
will be considered off topic.

Thanks for your cooperation,
MS3

Another suggestion:

Perhaps there can be a way to have posts automatically deleted
IF a post had any key words which were
not allowed under the vulgarity tou.
(including close variations of such words)

PLKC BOARD:


This board is flooded with off-topic discussions and personal attacks.
In the past 24 hours, MANY posts have been removed by a team of mods, mod squad and IHUB administration.

The subject here is PLKC- not which posts have been deleted,
the posters who post here, and other useless posts to this board.

If there are any questions, anyone can PM Admin to discuss it.

Please do not respond to this post because it will removed as off-topic.

Thank you.

How do you know who is deleting? That is a regular stop of mine because of the traffic. I must say that the mods do a great job on that board and it is rare that a post was deleted improperly. They're quite fair, imho.

BKMP BOARD:

There were many posts removed tonight that were
either off topic or personal attacks.

The subject here is BKMP, not which posts have or have not been removed, who is or isn't in jail, or who is on your ban list.

If there are any questions, anyone can PM Ihub Admin to discuss it.

Please do not respond to this post because it will be off topic.

Bob,

Is there any plan for the future to be able to remove multiple posts at one time? For example, if stock ABCD
takes 2 pages to discuss cheese and "lol" every other post...

That's one hundred posts to remove one by one.........

thanks.
~MS3

removed and warned. thanks.

OK, glad to see you wiped that ibox. GLTY
and whatever you may wager off the boards.

Confusing as it is YOU that started the conversation about the 5K. I read the thread.

Also- why do you think it's ok to start a board which is an open gambling wager?
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=11328

You should find an online escrow service and leave IHUB out of it, imho.

Hopefully the board will be gone soon.

To All:

A reminder, once again, to keep posts on topic.

if your post isn't about EFGO, don't post it. Posts about users, etc aren't acceptable here.

A lot of posts were deleted today. I'll be suspending as needed.

EFCL BOARD:

GSII Board:

I have just removed about 25 of the last 50 posts.

There has been an ongoing off-topic discussion of a poster who has been removed by ihub.
This thread stretches back farther than 48 hours, and therefore I cannot remove any other posts related to that subject.

The subject here is GSII- not which posts have been removed
or the people who post here.

If there are any questions, anyone can PM admin to discuss it.

Please do not respond to this post because it will be off topic. Please do not respond to any of the older posts regarding the poster in question either, or it will be removed as off-topic. Let's let that conversation end here.

Thank you.

A boardmark is when a poster adds a board to their favorites list. Each ihub ibox (the stock information box above the posts) has a number in the upper right hand corner noting how many posters read or frequent the particular board.

It typically has no bearing on whether or not a particular stock is or isn't a good investment.......simply a popular board to read.

ONMC BOARD:

Many of the posts here have been removed mostly because
they were off topic.

The subject here is ONMC- not which posts have been removed
or the people who post here.

If there are any questions, anyone can PM admin to discuss it.

Please do not respond to this post because it will be off topic.

Thank you
