Hi ravipratap61,
The priority of elements on the page for everybody is different.. in the larger scheme of things just posted message is the least important element on the page.. But we will try and incorporate your suggestion in way.. where we don't disturb the user interface...watch this space for phase 2

Keeping the looks aside, whats with these pesky advertisements that keep popping up??? Please do something about these pesky ADs before worrying about the looks which ultimately are non consequential.

Hi MOD,
Previously there was a chart showing the current status of all international markets. In the morning it was quite helpful to see the status of DOW & other Asian Markets before taking one's decision forthe day..
Will it be possible to restore the samE??
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Mod,
Its really nice to see you active in the board and at this rate, you will take over of the points leadership from MMB Messenger very soon i guess ..LOL..
Being one of those who asked for display of full messages, i think its my duty to express my thanks. I feel displaying the messages in full makes browsing of messages lot easier. I dont have to go through everyboard and keep clicking on each messages.. I could go all messages and just click once to read few messages.. I really appreciate if you keep that going.
You said most of the forums use thread based views, but it doesnt make any sense for the boarder if he cannot relate the original message and its in a real mess seriously now. I would prefer something similar to the first version in tracking replies. If you could somehow attach the message for which its replied, it will be really great.
Ofcourse in the previous version you have introduced with better home page and most of my friends seem to like that. Since i dont use my home page much, i dont have much to comment..
I agree with most of my dear friends with some of the other improvements which you said you will consider..
Keep up the good work.. Hope to see you on the top of the points table soon . :-)
Cheers...

Dear Boarders,
We have redesigned the messageboard for better navigation and a seamless user experience. We will be unveiling the messageboard redesign in two phases. We have redone the home page, user page, and topic page for now. Some pages have been left untouched till you get used to the new look. Those will be introduced in phase two.
As always feedback is more than welcome. Tell us what you think, what you like, what you hate, what you miss and what you want changed back.
Keep those messages coming

MMB,The design of 2007 MMB was great and easy to surf and every thing at one place
Though boarders are trying to adjust as per new version but little time consuming n definitely portfolio is worst in new version
its still ther best in version 2.0,please restore the same permanently n without a choice of 1,2 or 3...

Our reply
My ten commandments(suggestions and requests):
1.Please be corresponding freely with us and exchange ideas.We are also for the growth of MMB.Do not behave like our elected representatives to assembly and parliament and show your face when you make the next alterations in Sep 2010
(MMB Moderator reply: Done from now one you will see us and hear from us everyday)
2.Why to kill our interest and creativity by destroying our home page? I do not think that even one soul is keen to know our CV typed in courier new 9 point size font.
(MMB Moderator reply: the home page was not destroyed only enhanced to aid better navigation)
3.Pl introduce the system of seeing a message and all replies to it under it.otherwise any reply should be mentioning 'in reply to so and so's message dated ***'.
(MMB Moderator reply: Excellent idea... the reason we keep the thread format is because we don't want to disturb or break a conversation link)
The problem with current system is that if a thread is started by A on the Ist of a month and until 30 th B to Y reply to that and finally on 31st Z comes and replies to A 'You are an idiot',it creates doubts in the minds of B to Y that it is for them and worse still A thinks it is not for him
(MMB Moderator reply: The thread is structured in a way that you can see the immediate reply to the message posted.. so a message and all replies to that will be seen together.. in a thread.. it is a universal format on all messageboards)
4.It is also worth codifying all the message with one numeral(denoting year) four alpha system(running serial)viz 8ABCD.This can cover about 4.7 lakhs of messages per calender year
and drawing reference and searching would be easy.
(MMB Moderator reply: Excellent idea will incoporate)
5.Storage our PM sent by us should also be provided
(MMB Moderator reply: that is still available.. its just not called inbox.. you can find it under Messages posted by you)
6.The address book concept is good.But I do not know how to load names of my choice in to them.Pl.explain
(MMB Moderator reply: This will be explained in detail in another message)
7.How about provision for some colorful icons expressing feelings?
(MMB Moderator reply: Excellent idea will incoporate)
8.Since your policy to allow more than one ID to all,guest ID etc remain in tact,why cant you introduce a system of adding a mask icon to any guest ID who is also a regd boarder?
((MMB Moderator reply: hahaaa nice one technically wonder if its possible)
Also no guest ID should be allowed to criticize any regd boarder.
(MMB Moderator reply: definately will make sure that doesn't happen)
9.I think changing the rating system to more explicit one word comments would add colors:
The following seven to begin with:
Excellent
I agree
Humorous
Obscene
Nonsense
Objectionable
Irrelevant
(MMB Moderator reply: we will stick to five or else we will mess up earlier ratings... but nice idea thanks)
10.Pl.also delete the ids of those who do not post for more than three months in succession.It would at least clean the house and free some good nicks available to others. (MMB Moderator reply: ahhaaa can't do that... our boarders take long breaks and we try and coax them back)

Dear MOD
Thanks for your response and compliance. I find my points updated from 863 to 1003 today. I have been watching my points since 21-6-08 which stood at 863 constantly without change till 26-8-08. I doubt whether there was any weekly updation till now. I have already pointed about this to you earlier also.
I wish to bring your kind notice to the number of replies column. Just after the introduction of new MMB this month, the number from three digit has gone down to two digits. Kindly also let me know how do I find out my rated messages.
Thanks for your reply.

Hi sridharan_dusi,

A few points that I had forgotten:
Edit / change one's own track list.
Ignore boarder - any reply from that boarder to oneself should be blockable.
Final ambitious request:
Take MMB to a new level - as a social networking site for a niche group. So one can think of storing and sharing photos and resources in other formats also.

Dear Mod,
Thanks for starting this opinion poll thread:
Q
Tell us which MMB you loved the most and which feature and why.. also what you hate or like about the current MMB...
UQ
Well it would be difficult to say which version was the best. Each version has some good features.
I am using googol\\`s post on this as a template.
Irrespective of which version had the feature, I vote for the following features:
I echo googol\\`s views on the thread feature as was present in MMB v1.0
Q
Pl introduce the system of seeing a message and all replies to it under it.otherwise any reply should be mentioning \\`in reply to so and so\\`s message dated ***\\`.
UQ
We should be able to navigate through following the in-reply-to as well as replies-to links.
A system of giving an unique ID for each post as suggested by googol would be excellent. It would be useful to search based on this number.
Address book doesn\\`t seem to work. How to get it to work?
Managing the private inbox, the following would be appreciated:
* Create folders and move messages
* Sent folder
* Deleting specific messages ( that we dont want)
* Inbox should display no. of unread messages (as in MMB v2.0)
Managing the home page:
* Allow HTML in the About_us section.
* Give only a link to the About_us section from the home page, which can be expanded or seen only if the visitor wants to see it (Some home pages have a very long About_us section).
Moderation and Guest IDs:
I have nothing against guest IDs as far as what they want to post. My suggestions regarding Guest posts:
* No guest should be allowed to start a new thread.
* Guests may only be allowed to reply to posts.
* Max 5 Guest posts (per day) may be allowed from a given IP address to avoid spamming.
* All posts (including newbies) should be allowed to appear at once without waiting for the mod\\`s approval.
* Moderation of guest / others posts may be done by the recipient as well as the moderator. The recipient can determine if the post was abusive or not.
Other suggestions on content and format of posts:
* Allow some HTML tags in the post too, such as: [B], [I], [PRE] and [TABLE] related tags. Tables are essential for presenting tabular data, which look horrible otherwise.
* Have a PREVIEW feature, whereby the boarder can seen how the post looks before posting.
* Please allow links atleast to other posts on MMB. This can be easily implemented if each message had a message_id.
General look and feel:
* The Boarder home pages and the message threads look fine.
* But the MMB home page is a bit cluttered in appearance. MMB v1.0 and v2.0 had a less cluttered appearance.
* The new sections on the MMB home page are welcome, but some layout changes can be done to reduce the clutter.
Other suggestions (beyond the scope of the current poll):
* Introduce a mail server and give mail IDs to each boarder boardernick@mmb.whatever
* Introduce blog-space for boarders ( you can keep all the boarders loyal to MMB, without them having to go to other sites, viz., blogger, LJ, wordpress etc for this.
Thanks
* My thanks to this interactive MMB team for having initiated this poll and actually responding to the suggestions/complaints. Earlier I used to think that there was a bot as mod.
Regards

The rule for the grouping is very simple Radhika
All those who say yes are old timers
All who say no are new timers
All those who keep quiet are timers
Others are just murmurs
also the formula for calculating the percentage who agree
=No.of boarders who oppose*100/Total boarders who have commented
and the formula for calculating the percentage who oppose
=No.of boarders who agree*100/Total regd boarders in MMB
& it is not fair on your part to go anti-establishment after receiving the coveted MODsaysay award!

Hi MOD,
Thanks for replying.
As regular boarders we have benefited a lot by MMB and we want to pay back our debt.This board has really some very intelligent & resourceful men and women boarders.If you pool their ideas and implement you would build a very strong and popular MMB.As an Indian I see tons and tons of indifference,lethargy,arrogance in all walks of life.I want at least MMB to be an exception in being transparent and interactive.When that is not happening I show my irritation.Nothing personal.
Please make use of at least few boarders to design the site.The spec for any product is made by the end users/customers and NOT the producer.Even if you incorporate one idea per month,we can make MMB formidable for many years.
Please break the shell,come and mingle with us freely.A leader should be seen and liked by the team
Regards,
...

Moderator,
The top brains of MMB quit becoz of two reasons, one becoz the format was changed. It began with bandicoots in the form of guests. Boarders like Sainik, Solomon, saggitarian quit because guests and vandals started harrasing these top boarders. Chest50arms20 quit because many religious extremists on this board began harassing him. They dint know how to enjoy his fine literary skills.. Has god ever shown himself to anyone of us... then why did these extremists irritate him??. I admit i also had my tiff with sainik and chest50arms20 but i doubt if they quit on account of that. The moderator back then took a vicarious pleasure in publishing all those hideous messages from guests to top boarders. This continued for sometime until quite recently a guest posted a hideous message to Udayan and ever since MMB has been cautious about allowing guest messages to filter through. When it happened to the top boarders here the moderator back then ignored it so in one sense Udayan was the saving grace but to think that the sentiments of boarders here is less imporant to Udayan kind of hurts you know. I admit though that you are the vishnu avtar of MMB... thanks a lot for being pereceptive and receptive. Are you new?...

Moderator,
I chat a lot on MMB and my messages are most often irrelevant or impertinent to stockmarkets. I suggest you separate the serious boards from the chat boards like the 2004 format. If you type WAYBACK MACHINE in google you will be taken to site which allows u to see archived files and there in if u type moneycontroldotcom you will be taken to archives from 2002.. click on couple of links dating back to 2004 to see the format.
Also shoot a post to saggitarian, Solomon, sainik, chest50arms20 to return to the board at once. They were the brains of MMB... they have gone missing for a long time..Could you kindly welcome them back?
