Search by ticker

[Samantha Stephens]

Hi! I'm a newbie ... thanks for the dubious title ... Something that would help me is if you could add a ticker box when people make posts ... and then add a search by ticker. I was trying to search by AMTD ... got too many to make heads or tails of. Then I searched by Ameritrade and that had too many also, because people reference their trading platforms in their text. Good idea??

Hi Samantha 

Try using the "advanced search", then check "Topic subjects only" and put the ticker on the "Search for" window (then press enter).

As a matter of fact, for AMTD you get zero results, because there isn't one single thread exclusively about AMTD. You should start one yourself.

Hey, you're a "Regular" now

I know! It's like "On Demand!" ... It just showed up!. I thought I'd have to wait till I got my buttons to get rid of my Newbie title.

The Advanced search works great. Sorry about that.

One quick question for you. On the home page, I have Entries for "Stock Picking" "Lounge" "Penny Stocks" ... but the "Options" folder isn't posting entries to my home page. Is that a preference that I'm not seeing that I need to update, so I get all the folders to post new entries?

I can't tell if that folder is also showing up when I press on "show unread posts since last visit" - I've never seen an Option folder post there either...

Samantha

Thanks!!!!!

Hi Samantha,

Sorry for the late reply 

I've just updated the php script to include also the latest posts from the «Options Board» on the Homepage Thanks for reminding this, it was a little bug that I missed the last time I changed the code there

Thanks!!!!!

That feature is working, you probably didnt saw a post there, because you are the most active member on that board, so there is almost nothing unread there for you

best regards,
