Yes, I see that, thanks George. It's too bad one has to build up their points in order to use the Inbox feature but I understand the reasoning which would be to deter spammers (although that never happened to me over at SH). The downside to that would be the lurkers who do not post very often...will they still receive points even though they are not posting?

Also, I will do a copy and paste here of an email I sent to Paul this morning. Maybe others may want to comment on it? Cheers!

Thanks Paul, it's much appreciated. I can see that Agoracom will really take off...especially as the new enhancements come in. I would like to make two strong suggestions based on my experience with boards, if I may:

1) I noticed there are already a few bashers that have made their way on board Agoracom. Unfortunately, it's not enough to delete their posts or even ban their Username...they keep coming back like mosquitos. The solution that works for me is banning their IP address (either one at a time or within a range). This usually is only necessary for the hard-core problem children but it works for me.

2) Even though Stockhouse's Bullboard is a mess and more so with their new version, I think what attracted people was the ability to see which discussions (stocks) are the most active. This gives people a heads up as to where the money is to be made. If you can implement something similar here I'm sure the world will beat a path to your door.

3) I know, I said only two but here's a third. People like to feel like they are part of an active community...it keeps them interested in the board and the stock. Is there any way to show how many members are online or even how many times their post has been read?
