For the Happy Hour Folks >>

Here are some features you can try out that only premium members can use:

Private Messaging - Your private messages are stored here:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_prvt.asp Feel free to reply to any you may already have in there. This works sort of like e-mail, but much cooler. No swapping of e-mail addresses, instant sending/receiving, totally secure. To send, just go to someone's profile or click Private Reply to a post they have made.

Keep - These are also stored in your mailbox. When viewing a message you'd like to save and read later, click the 'Keep' link on the top or bottom of that message.

People Batch Reading - From your Favorite People [bottom of your favorites page], you can view all their unread messages in one click. Just click the number in the unread column and the full text of their messages will show up, along with the boards they posted at.

Message Batch Reading - Go to a public message. Next to previous/next, you should see Next 10. Click that. Pretty cool, eh? Viewing 10 messages at a time saves a lot of time and makes reading boards with heavy post volume a breeze. One more trick. Go here http://www.investorshub.com/boards/my_settings.asp Adjust 'Messages Per Batch in Batch-View (Next10) mode' to, say, 100. Now, go back to a message, and click Next 10. Very cool! You can read up to 100 full messages at a time.

Last Read - this, also located above the message box, allows you to stop reading anywhere you want within a set of messages and easily go back to that spot via your favorites. A bookmark of sorts.

Full Text Searching - major feature here. #1 or #2 reason people subscribe to the site. Try typing in a ticker in the top right search box. Pull down and select 'Public Msgs' and click Go. A results page comes up displaying all the messages with that ticker in it. Comes in quite handy when you want to get an instant feel for the buzz a certain stock is getting or do some intense DD. 'My Private Msgs' can be selected to search your private messages.

Tools/My Account/Settings/Interface - Start here: http://www.investorshub.com/boards/my_account.asp From there you can adjust numerous site settings, completely customize your interface [change the menu colors, sizes, message background, sound alerts, etc], and also manage your ignore/filters. Feel free to play around. You can't break anything.

No ads - ads are completely turned off [with the exception of the homepage and quotes], which speeds things up nicely.

Unlimited ignores - You can ignore as many people as you want. Free accounts are restricted to just 5.

Unlimited posts - You can post as much as you want.

Premium Boards - many boards are premium-access only. This includes all off topic boards and several top stock clubs. Jump in some of the discussions during your trial.

We could go on and on listing features. These are just some of the main ones. Take iHub for a spin and let us know what you think.


Note: I'll do something better by the time the next all-day Happy Hour shows up, just realized I wasn't linking to anything.
