Another problem for ADVFN's new daft policy



If you create a new header with some links in, that have already been added to the white list

initially they work


if you then have to go back into that new header to edit something else

then click update

and now suddenly ALL of the links in that new header that worked before suddenly do not work any more


this is nuts

If you add h­ttp://www.bcc.co.uk to the white list on the thread, all the links related to bbc will be fine then.

You can't check a list of links to see that they have misspelled bbc as bcc for example.

Is this still unblocked?

steelwatch,

If you add to the white list on the thread, all the links related to bbc will be fine then.

The other issue about disctorstalk is going to be fixed right now.

if that one's on the white list, what's the point?

Good post.

I think I agree with llwyd, that investors really don't necessarily need access to up-to-the-second live information, but TRADERS DO.

And isn't the short-termism and volatility of the markets that has got us into this financial mess?

There are sites like:

Harveyorgan.blogspot.co.uk
and
PaulCraigRoberts.org

and news web-sites in Africa, Asia, and the former Soviet Union that inform opinion, that provide information on economic policy, commodities, Precious metals, Politicians and Political economy, which bears on ALL markets.

Darren Winters reckons that 80% of a company's share-price is down to non-company factors (either the economy, politics, finance, or legal domains, impacting the company and its price) and which has ultimately led to "Crony Capitalism" as it has been called.

I've been a contributor to ADVFN since 2001, and setup several threads, and I like to think the boards have in some small way contributed to the success and discussion of these matters and of the companies I've written about.

This anti-spamming is killing the goose that laid the silver egg... (I know it was Gold, but silver was/is less valuable, and more in keeping with ADVFN's success rating so far.)

The number of worthwhile web-sites is in the Millions, if not BILLIONS, and ADVFN's database could end up being almost as big as Googles, if it wants to whitelist all the ones that serve some useful function and is growing by the hour, day, week, month, year upon year...

I suggest they abandon this before it kills the company. I agree the bulletin boards and their implementation is what makes ADVFN the number 1 site I visit. Take away that, and will it be still worthwhile? MAYBE...MAYBE NOT.

Can ADVFN take THAT risk?

Hey steelwatch,

Directorstalk should be nuked on posting but that seems to be an error that we are going to get fixed today.

that should be tt not xx

sad to say it but the chart quality is superior to advfn particularly the indicators which are far clearer.

[tomkin] 07/6/2013 05:19

they are simply too tight to pay a fiver, that's all

i doubt that it will spark an exodus from the boards (although there are perhaps cleverer ways to accelerate the transition to Premium....)

This comment from a regular contributor to the Free BB.

These disabled links for black posters make reading ADVFN threads difficult, tedious or not worth the effort on a tablet.

Unintended consequences?
ADVFN could lose quite a few really good contributors to an alternative forum.

Just saying :O)
