Suggestion Box

[Joe Blow]

If you have a suggestion please post them here!

Is there a feature you would like to see added?

Is there something that would make Aussie Stock Forums better?

Is there something about Aussie Stock Forums that annoys you?

I'm open to suggestion. After all, I want to make this site into a place that YOU enjoy!

[Jett_Star]

Hey what about some 'trading games' to help newbies like me?

:D

or links etc to feature magazines, courses, etc that might be off interest/use to us.

[banjo_pete]

What about a stock ticker or a share price look up.

What about a stock ticker or a share price look up.

I am hoping to introduce something like this fairly soon.

Thanks for your input Jett_Star... you've given me some ideas!

I love the 'NEW' red colour, it's very stand out. Thank Joe.

[crocdee]

hi boss
many other chat forums have posters that enjoy being crude and not constructive in their replies to posts. regardless of whether you agree or disagree with a particular post is not the issue we all have our point of view. it would be greatly appreciated if you can moderate all posts to factual or respectfull and constructive replies rather than gutter talk that we have on many other sites. ban that member if need be. to be quite honest i am really only interested in constuctive posts regardless of whether they are positive or negative in their reply.
LETS KEEP THIS SITE CLEAN AND MOVE FORWARD TO GOOD TRADING. THIS WAY WE CAN ALL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE OF WINNING.

Croc,

Rest assured that I have absolutely zero tolerance for personal attacks or abuse. This is my site and there will be none of that - ever! Repeated personal attacks on other unmoderated sites is one of the main reasons I was driven to start this forum.

Banning people is a last resort but I will not tolerate unnaceptable behaviour! I want Aussie Stock Forums to be a place people ENJOY coming to!

Luckily, our members are all polite and friendly! ;) So there has been nothing but peace and tranquility up until now. I hope it continues!

Cheers mate... and welcome!

[crocdee]

thanks boss will give us all a good comfort zone knowing we can have intelligent and well reasearched discussions.

[RichKid]

I agree guys, the fact that this is a 'respectable' and comfortable place to chat is what makes it attractive to me. I'm glad to see it take off in the last few weeks- keep up the good work Joe- quality not quantity is what counts.

If you want to set up some rules with a general blurb on 'etiquette' it may be good for newbies to stockchat like myself.

Your Stock Picking Comp is a great idea- it keeps people involved. Maybe you'll have more prizes as things grow.

One thing I'd like to see is a collection of the various sites that people have recommended listed by topic/category (eg TA education, charting tools, fundamentals, stock reviews etc) with a brief description. I notice various 'favourite' sites appear on different threads. Maybe you can pick the best ones or have us vote on them and list the sites in a members only area. Just an idea if you have spare time. It's not essential.

Thanks,
RIchKid

[WaySolid]

Hi Joe :)

Top forum. I think it's rapid growth is impressive.

Can I suggest that there are some more sub-forums added now that the posts are starting to grow.

Also it will be critical that good moderators are recruited as they make or break a forum.

Have enjoyed reading the posts so far and hope that more quality traders/investors are drawn to the forum.

Cheers,
WaySolid

[Joe Blow]

Thanks to everyone for your positive feedback!

I appreciate all your ideas and intend to implement many of them in the future. I have many plans for Aussie Stock Forums! *;)

I hope you all stick around and we can watch this place grow together!

Cheers!

:)

[Joe Blow]

Can I suggest that there are some more sub-forums added now that the posts are starting to grow.

Hi WaySolid!

This is something that interests me. I'd like to get the forums and sub forums thing sorted out as soon as possible.

I'm open to suggestions on how to do this so if you, or anyone reading this post would like to give me your opinion, I'd really appreciate it.

How should the boards on the forum be structured? Is less more or do we need lots of sub boards?

:o

[stefan]

I don't like the black theme. It may look fancy but the blue one was much more structured IMHO.

Bring back the blue!!!!! :'(

Happy trading

Stefan

[JetDollars]

Joe,

I hate this black theme, the previous blue theme is much better.

VOTE 1 for no black theme.

But if majority here like it then I got no choice.

Remember the KISS principle: Keep It Simple Stupid.

My other suggestion is regarding Instant Message. A while back when there is a new IM there is an alert to let me know there are 1 or 2 new message. I suggest you bring that back because at the moment. I can't tell in IM whether any new IM and I have to check it all the time.

AND there more:
My Suggestions is to add the followings:
1. Fundamental Analysis
2. Technical Analysis
3. Options | Warrants
4. Futures | Forex

[jkool]

JOE: I seem to be experiencing repeated problem with functionality of the forums here. Every time I log in all the forums I have attended have that nice NEW icon next to them. Its great feature however it seems to be misbehaving as I am seeing it even beside forums I have already read and no new postings have been made ever since.

I am not really sure where to reports these bugs so posting it here. If you already know about it then I do apologise.

In any case it is not a real biggie and I can live with that. I do understand u run these forums from your own resources so if it means to much hassle please dont bother.

Cheers

[stefan]

I suggest we get a search button added. It's about time as the forum starts growing with more and more threads.

Happy trading

Stefan

[ghotib]

Stefan, There's a Search option in the menu - after Home and Help.

I know that because I went to make the same suggestion but checked VERY carefully first ;D

It's a good search too - lots of options. Thanks Boss.

Ghoti

[stefan]

Stefan, There's a Search option in the menu - after Home and Help.

Ghotib,
I shall be damned. There is indeed one and it's just perfect. Thanks, mate. Next time I'll check VERY carefully before I ask for something that's already there.

Happy trading

Hmmmmm... interesting.

Anyone else think we should have a derivatives forum?

If the idea gets some support I might add one.

Let me know what you think!

[still_in_school]

Hi Guys,

.... well you know, what i think.... (im share crazy... :o)

Cheers,

[ghotib]

Yeah I'd like a derivatives forum. Life might get boring if there wasn't another new learning curve to climb :P

[jkool]

Call me dumb but how do I logout from here?

Every time I get on this site I seem to be logged in. I am using a public comp at work so not interested in somebody else to get in here with myself being logged in.

[GreatPig]

Try "logout" at the top of the page.

Cheers,
GP

[positivecashflow]

I would definately vote for a derivatives forum ;D ;D

Cheers,

J.

[JetDollars]

For Instant Messages:

Add an indication when new IM arrive

[jkool]

Try "logout" at the top of the page.

Cheers,
GP

Yeah I saw it there few times in the past but I does not show up anymore. Dunno whats happenin...could it be settings on my comp? I would not think so but nobody else seems to have this problem :(

[JetDollars]

JKool,

It does not show up here as well....I hope Joe will fix it soon.

[Joe Blow]

JKool,

It does not show up here as well....I hope Joe will fix it soon.

JD, you don't have 'logout' showing near the top right of the main page?

Can you let me know what you do see?

[Dan_]

Hi Joe,

Just a small suggestion for the forums (not that it isn’t great the way it is) would it be possible (and if so if you and other members so wish) to possibly put under the main control bar some current times for all of the exchanges around the globe (e.g. Hong Kong, Tokyo NY London and of course ASX)

Just may be a useful piece of information for all of us to see the times for the major exchanges when posting/reading.

Just a thought and thanks again for the fantastic and informative forum

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your feedback and your kind words about the forums.

I merged your thread with this suggestion box thread which I created so people could give me feedback and make suggestions about what they think might improve the site.

I will have look and see if I can find a world times hack for this software. If I find something that integrates well with the site I will let you know.

If anyone else has any suggestions or feedback, don't be afraid to post and let me know your thoughts. :)

[Smurf1976]

Joe,
Have you thought of having the recent posts page span multiple pages instead of just the one? This would make it easier to see all the posts over the past few days. Quite often I read something and then think the next day that I really should have a look at that thread again. Now, what was it called... Would be easy to just be able to go back over the past couple of days and spot it rather than going through the different forums one at a time or searching for it. No biggie but just a thought since that's what some other forums do and it seems to work quite well. It's just an extension of the present list to more than one page in practice. :) :2twocents

[Milk Man]

generally i click the new posts button and i get more than a page- still a good idea though. Ditto for international times- that shouldn't be too hard either (for you that is joe- my puter says its got winnders but ah caint find no laytches :D )

Hiya Smurf,

With the 'New Posts' function, when there's more than 25 threads with new posts it automatically starts a new page. Would you like me to reduce this to a smaller number such as 15?

Or are you talking about the 'Latest Forum Topics' on the 'Home' page? This lists the most recently updated twelve threads.

I'm talking about the "Latest Forum Topics" on the home page. Just thought it would be handy if it listed more than twelve threads since on a busy day the list can become fairly limited. It's purely a convenience thing so it would effectively be a link to all recent (as opposed to new) posts. :)

You're doing a pretty good job with this forum Joe so finding faults isn't that easy... :D

Thanks for your praise Smurf. I really do try my best to make this place enjoyable for everyone.

Making multiple pages of the latest forum topics doesn't seem to be an option at the moment but I can increase the amount listed. I will adjust it to 15 initally and see how that works. Any more and I'm afraid it will extend too far down the page. We'll see how it goes anyway.

Just wondering if you have used the 'New Posts' feature in the navbar (in between 'Calendar' and 'Journal'). This forum software keeps track of the threads you have viewed and how many posts of each thread you have read. So everytime you visit the site, if you click on 'New Posts' it basically comes up with a list of threads that have been created and added to since your last visit.

Let me know if you find it useful. :)

Hi Joe,

Just thought I'd show you this. never seen this before on aussie stock so may just be me:)

Keep up the fantastic work :)

Sorry guys... just upgrading some stuff... should be fixed soon.

Please bear with me! :banghead:

edit: all fixed now! :D

I guess i should leave Aussie Stock now and then :o

Nah... why would you want to do that? :D

[excalibur]

Hi Joe,

I think that it would be interesting to have a live or daily sentiment or commentary of the ASX. Similar to that of Wallstreet.
I got a link that gives a sort of commentary of that.
It kind of gives me an idea of how thin or how thick the air is...

Excalibur,

I am in the very early stages of developing another site (almost a companion site to this one) that might incorporate something like this. The hardest part, of course, is finding someone to write it or somewhere to syndicate it from.

Am looking into it all and will let you guys in on things in due course. ;)

[Joe Blow]

Thought I'd dig up the old suggestion box thread and ask for a few suggestions.

ASF is getting pretty big these days. It becomes more popular by the month and I think we're in the top three stock market forums in the country now. As ASF grows it is inevitable that it will evolve. I guess I'm at that stage of my thinking at the moment and figured I would ask ASF members what they think.

If you could make one change to ASF, one thing you think would improve the site for you, let me know in this thread. I would like to take the site in a direction that its members wanted it to go, so please feel free to be honest and upfront about what would improve your ASF experience.

Some ideas, of course, may not be feasible, but right now I am open to any and all suggestions.

Fire away! :)

Maybe some how integrate the chat room into the main part of the site so that way it will actually get some use for once.

And watchlists which we've talked about already

and maybe a chart as well

[Joe Blow]

Maybe some how integrate the chat room into the main part of the site so that way it will actually get some use for once.

Have you been to the chatroom lately? It used to pop up into another window but it has since been integrated more into the site. It is taking a while to get going but some people do use it. Just not that many.

Will definitely consider your other suggestions.

Sorry if this already exists....

Is it possible to get an instant message/email notification when someone on your buddy list posts a message anywhere in the forum?

Sorry if this already exists....

Unfortunately, this option does not currently exist although I just suggested it to Jelsoft, the developers of this forum software, so hopefully this feature will be included in a future version.

There are email notifications available for thread subscriptions but not for posts made to the forum by those on your buddy list as yet.

[Uncle Festivus]

It's probably been asked before, but why is there a 30 sec wait between searches? It's annoying.

[Joe Blow]

It's probably been asked before, but why is there a 30 sec wait between searches? It's annoying.

Hi UF... unfortunately searches use up a lot of server resources and this is one way I can reduce this, helping to contain site running costs.

30 seconds isn't that long to wait. Go make yourself a nice cup of tea. :)

[Julia]

Joe,

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to make suggestions.
Mine is fairly pathetic and reflects my incompetence.

I would just love it if it were possible to reply to a post in several different places, perhaps just doing the responses in italics or bold, without having to type in the [/QUOTE] tags. I get them round the wrong way and find it simply annoying to have to do it, to the extent where I will alter my response often so as to reply in one block at the end rather than try to do the QUOTE tags all over the place.

It's possible to do what I've suggested when responding to PM's and it's just so much easier.

Cheers
Julia

[Wysiwyg]

Hi Joe B... I think the forum runs smoothly as is and any changes would only be to increase laziness.LoL

One thing I think is distasteful is the guns , knives , drugs and swords of the emoticons..face slicing , shooting , bongs etcetera.

Thanks for an A grade forum.:bigthumb:

[greggy]

Hi Joe,

This forum is great. I was wondering whether it would be worthwhile whether there could be room where people could state whether they have a particular interest when contributing to a particular thread. I know a number of regulars do it here and its handy to know where people stand as long as its not abused.
Your thoughts would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi,

New to ASF. Been on HC for a while.

I'd like to see a system whereby posters could vote for other posters who have a great track record in picking short term movements in stocks. For example, once a poster gets > 10 votes on a given day, he might get one star next to his name. Similarly > 10 negative votes might mean one star is removed by the administrators. (just a possible example of how it might work). A negative vote would simply amount a vote of non-confidence for a poster on a particular day, and is not an attack or anything that should be viewed negatively. Negative votes would also allow the system to be dynamic and changing.

The advantages of a system like this would be that a new member like me could save time by starting reading posts in order of poster rank. You guys all know who is on the money, but I don't!!

Hope you can help. HC don't listen to their members' suggestions. I hope ASF does!:)

GB

[Gringotts Bank]

I also like the "predictwallstreet" website as mentioned above. Unfortunately it doesn't have many members so it can't really work that well.

However, if ASF members were required to vote on logging in (eg. direction of XAO and approx. points up/down), you would get a pretty good feel of market sentiment. I'm a big one for sentiment. Results could be easily represented in a table or graph format. But voting would have to be compulsory for it to work.

Search function - could it be possible to search Titles from the quick search box instead of going to advanced search?

Also, unable to add more than 2 blank spaces in a row to text - gets removed when posted.

Hi Julia,

Some people prefer to reply to posts in this way, although it can be a little confusing to the reader as everyone has their own way of doing it.

I agree that the quote tags can be a bit of a hassle, especially when responding to multiple points in someones post. It does get easier the more you do it. I've posted thousands of posts on various forums since 2001 and now its more or less second nature to me.

Alternatively, you could simply quote the entire post and then respond point by point without splitting up the original post at all. This makes it a little easier to respond without messing around with the quote tags, but this also has an impact on readability.

Unfortunately there is no easy answer to this one. However, perhaps they will make this process a little easier somehow in future versions of this forum software.

Hi Wysiwyg,

Thanks very much for your comments.

I understand your point about some of the smilies but please take them as just a bit of fun, as they are in no way any kind of endorsement of violence or drug use. I think smilies add a lot of personality to a forum and perhaps in retrospect I should have been a bit more selective (ASF was a lot smaller back then), but I tend to go a bit overboard with smilies as many of them do indeed bring a smile to my face. :D

I can definitely see the value of such a system but it may be a little too costly to design and implement at this stage of ASF's development. But I have noted your suggestion and it may be something we introduce in the future. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi Greggy,

Thanks very much for your suggestion.

I do like the idea of people having to check a box that asks them whether or not they have a financial interest in the stock that is the topic of the thread before their post will be allowed to be submitted. I am all for openness and transparency and think this idea helps foster that.

This is something I will be looking into in the near future in terms of feasability/cost etc.

Hi UF,

Appreciate your feedback.

I recommend the use of the 'Advanced Search' over the regular site search as you have so many more options available to narrow down your search so you can more easily find the results you are looking for.

I am considering starting a thread on how to effectively use the various search functions on ASF as I think it needs more of an explanation than is currently found in the site FAQ.

Nope this has never happened to me, suggest you might have an IE issue and that you have a re-director installed unknown to you. Suggest you do a spyware check. http://www.lavasoft.com/ Ad-Aware is one of the better ones. You also might want to download Hi-jackthis (http://www.tomcoyote.org/hijackthis), This examines if yr IE has been hi-jacked and is a source of your problems

Hello Damuzzdu, I use Firefox & Adaware & Spybot, so.... & it only happens to ASF when I click New Posts. I use Firefox at home & IE at work, and happens to both & only for ASF. Joe, it's been happening for a while now, like months, I have been putting up with it though.

[Tekmann]

Joe.

Three Simple suggestions to suggest, possibly hard to Impliment.

1. Instant Popup (like pm's) when subscribed thread is updated.

2. To be able to add the subscribed thread window of threads to the front page on top/below of "Recent Threads"

Even better to have any subscribed thread folders appear, as oppossed to all subscribed threads.

3. ASX code in thread title could clickable to bring up latest Yahoo charts in new window. (beta charts are good)

Hi, you may have inadvertantly downloaded either Advanced or Powered Keylogger. Adaware and spybot Search & Destroy, are liked by users but more professional people consider them just good value, free of course. These advanced keyloggers can be very complex and there is a website set up at http://www.keylogger.com and http://www.mykeylogger.com/keylogger-forum//lofiversion/index.php/

To post a picture, go to the Additional Options section when you are posting a reply, and Manage Attachments, and then attach your file from your computer. There are size restrictions.

not sure if this has been suggested before :

grouping stocks into their sector eg. miners, pharms, banks etc., in addition to the existing grouping by alphabetical order.

makes it easier to know what kind of stock it is when screening the list of threads. (i dont' read every thread!)

Joe.

Could you consider a Home (http://www.aussiestockforums.com) button at the bottom of each thread, as this would reduce the number of transactions on the db, and make navagation easier.

Also whilst it might be my lucky day, could we have the search restriction of 1easiest up a little.

Thanks

Tekmann, there already is a home button at the bottom of the page, there is also a top button as well.

I didnt know this thread existed. Not sure if this has been mentioned but...

On the home page http://www.aussiestockforums.com/ where there is a list of the latest posts, why do the links point to the first post of the thread instead of the latest post? It makes no sense for me to click "last page" everytime I want to read the new posts. Lots of wasted bandwidth here.

And note that on the http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/index.php, the links to the latest posts actually work.


I really hope this gets implemented and its quite an easy thing to do.

Yes true, but a big chunky one, like the reply button would ensure everyone sees it....

Guessing JB would be able to see stats who's using the that one right down the bottom

Thanks for pointing it out though.

I'm pretty sure you can set it up so that you can read the thread from latest post first. I think you can change it in your user options.

Oh wow. Thanks. I never thought of it that way. This is so much better now.

I was wondering if we could get a "market movers" option under quick links?

This would make it easier to see what's going on over the broader market.

An example: http://www.tradingroom.com.au/apps/mkt/movers.ac

Greetings,

Glad to have the chance to input here. I thought a ASF forum 'Brokers' would be a good idea. Under that forum, we could have sub forums. Each sub forum could be 'Stock Brokers', 'Option Brokers', 'FX Brokers' etc.

Given how important a good broker and trading tools are, this seems like a missing forum at ASF.

Thanks,

legout

morning Joe - just wondering if you'd made any progress with adding support for charts in thread headers? quite a few forums support them, would be a good enhancement to the ASF format - its very handy to be able to see what an instrument is doing when peeps are posting, otherwise its a case of going to find a chart for the instrument to get some context. Also support for multiple charts in a single header would be good - e.g., International index thread would be handy to have XAO, HSI, FTSE, S&P for example. Currency crosses in FX threads etc. Gold chart in gold thread - etc etc

cheers, Ed

Hi everyone...

Just wanted you all to know that I am reading these suggestions and am looking at which ones are feasable.

ASF is due for a major overhaul early next year and I plan on adding more content to the site and making it more user friendly and easy to navigate. It is at this time that I will be looking to integrate some of these suggestions into the site.

Feel free to keep on suggesting things you would like to see on ASF, and if someone else suggests something that you also think would be useful, please respond in this thread and let me know that you would like to see it on ASF too!

Thanks! :)
