The Question and Answer Board

[Stock]

There are more than 17,000 iHub boards. Everyone has access to read loads of outdated junk every day on old boards.

The good news: Every iHub member has an opportunity to dress up the site. Which of the 17,000 iBoxes would you like to start work on first?

Did you ask to assist the mod? If not ask the mod (via PM) to assist.

If the mod doesn't need, want or like you, try and contribute stock discussion that will demonstrate your interest in discussion about the stock. Then ask again.

Getting an Admin involved to make you a mod/assistant gets you labeled a PITA, so unless someone is violating the TOU or totally ignoring the rules of the site, be nice and try and be helpful.

That being said....

IMO, updating an iBox is not nearly as important on most single STOCK boards as is the role of keeping discussion focused on the stock. The importance of having a multi-page company billboard is totally overrated on this site.

That's one reason why many users, me included, have repeatedly suggested that all iBox content be limited in size to prevent nonsense like putting a 10 terrabyte iBox on a stock board, loaded with YouTube videos, embedded sound links, images and junk marginally related to the stock. There is a raft of totally off topic junk put up in iBoxes all over the site.

Maybe you remember: This was brought to a head recently when one board in particular with 100,000+ page reads a day had an iBox that took 2 minutes to load on a dedicated T1 line -- that FORCED the site Admins ultimately to DEFAULT all iBoxes to NOT DISPLAY. The offending material was rendered inert.

Ideally, IMO, an iBox should paint on one screen with no scrolling up or down or left to right on an average 17 inch square monitor, imo. The basics about the company only. Here's one example: #board-3830

All other executions are just noise, doomed to be ignored.
