People are jaded Matt, ask anyone like Churak or Fred that have seen it played out too many times wrong.
For sure an English teacher would report my above sentence as having an object missing, as I make reference to something that is not identified.
But that missing thing above is the point I want to make, that you have a great product available for folks to purchase, a FREE to a Premium membership, and you know its for real, and the folks posting on this board echo your correctness (à la mode de) Preaching to the Choir.
Put yourself into the shoes of a FREE IH member.
Until you do, whatever you hold out towards FREEs as reasons for them to switch from a free ride to a paying, will not appear as the jade of a gemstone, but just the same ole same story-line "that [they] have seen it played out too many times wrong."
Funny that the Happy Hour method that you and BobZ refuse to acknowledge a "thanks" to gotmilk for its introduction is also knowned quite clear by you and BobZ as a "show me method" like "a picture is worth a thousand words" as in a FREE member will view all the write-ups by you of how great it is to be a Premium as just words equal to an empty con like promise.
You just filled this board wondering when to spin a web to collect the FREEs onto a Happy Hour sticky with the Premium-glue.
Here the "when" is the spiders "where" as in a placement knowned to be traveled, by say flying insects.
Imagine the spider weaving it's web where no bugs travel.
Imagine that spider ask'n Paulie to create a flashing colorful NEON sign that says "Great place to stop for a rest."
Do FREEs view your ad words to switch from FREE to Premium as a mouse trap, aka rat trap?
If you knew how to ask questions in you survey to FREEs & Premium you would discover that a normal pathway to learn the IH Premium features was already knowned by you, as in Stumble & Bumble (aka feel dumbo) and don't ask for help.
ok, Lets use that "Stumble & Bumble" as reality.
Ever see that t.v. ad? "Use what Mama gave you..."
This is what you have to work with, use it.
But you need to ask the nature of "Stumble & Bumble"
as in, When is it done? (or) Can be done?
Answer: "off time"
as in, Not when the FREE member is using IH to trade markets.
so, Don't fit Happy Hour into a fixed day/time slot.
Well not exactually, keep the fixed day/time slot, but allow each FREE member to activate for a short fixed time interval like ten minutes, once every day to play with Premium features.
This allows a FREE to do it during "off time" from trading, and once he or she masters a feature like PMs they will be able to use them during trading for an important PM to another member, and eventually the stickyness will get great enough that they will want to always have that feature... FREE to Premium switch.
ok, Time to help undo BobZ's unUser Friendly method for:
My Account / My Interface / Menu Background Color (RGB)
The following freeware program: ---------------------------------------------------- Directory of C:\...\FeelTheBase

Could be added to Tools or Other so IH members, even Susie, can easy obtain that hex number Bob needs after the # character.
All a person need do is locate any web page that has a color anyplace on the page that the person wants to duplicate as their IH background.
Bring up this freeware program and move your mouse pointer onto the black colored box and click & hold down left button.
You mouse pointer will change into a pen image.
Still holding down the left mouse button move your mouse pointer to the place on you screen that has that color you want, then release the mouse button and the colored box will have that color, and now all you gotta do is Select & Copy the Hex:[number] and insert it into the IH's Menu Background Color (RGB) [#_____] and do Update to have new stuff applied to your IH. ---------------------------------------------------- Installing and uninstalling Simply drag the FeelTheBase folder to your favourite program folder and add a shortcut to wherever you please. FeelTheBase doesn't write into the system registry (unless requested to) so uninstalling is simply a matter of removing the folder.
FeelTheBase comes in two flavors, you will only need one of them and can remove the other one: FeelTheBase.exe - A 236kB large binary that should run on most Windows95/NT systems. FeelTheBase-dynamic.exe - A 26kB small binary that requires the MFC4.2 DLL files (Microsoft Foundation Classes) installed in Windows\System. ----------------------------------------------------
