Messages Per Category in MailBox [5,10,...200]
The default is 5 and what happens after 5?
Does a scroll box get created?

If you set it to a higher number, and you've got enough messages, it'll just display a list of all your messages up to that maximum, and if they're enough to fill up the screen, the browser's scroll-bar will become active.

If you get a chance,
log-in as me and see if the Mail count is 2.
If so then go there and if you see what i see,
then i have only that private message from you about features.
Or, if i get more mail, then the count might be that + 1.
Or, one too many i think i see, the count.

That was due to a goof-up on my part where I accidentally added 1 to everyone's MailBox count.

I just added a routine so that every time you go to the MailBox, it automatically recalculates your totals. We'll see how it runs. I was hesitant to do it that way because I thought it'd slow it way down, but seems to be working fine here.

So next time you hit the MailBox link, the count should fix itself.

I'am semi confused on why you would need to pay a fee to a
quote supplier. If a member was willing to have a new window
be created to view a quote and then close that window and
return to iHub, then if you had one of those click'able icon
on the board header for example, General Electric, and once
clicked you execute the following
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ge
then i think thats a free usage.
Each board just has the /q?=xx different.

Yes, it's true I could do it that way, but what I'm really wanting to do is include the quotes right on the same page; not just a link to the quotes. And for some people, I expect that would be the final nudge that'd convert them from Members to Subscribers. Granted, it wouldn't for me since I always had QCharts running when I was active in the market, but it might for people who are more like I am now. I appreciate that when I go to a board on SI, for example, that the latest quote is right there.

Signatures have been a bit problematic for me, to put it mildly. Running them through the encoder function causes problems with graphics people like to put in their signatures. Not doing so causes the problem you encountered.

The workaround until I get this fixed is to put 3 apostrophes anywhere you want 1 to display. So, it'd be SI'''s Doug AK.
