1- search features could be enhanced, it's sometimes tough to find stuff easily
2- people going off topic (that's nitpicking perhaps)
3- too much vendor activity needs even tighter rules for me. As I still see vendors jumping into topics totally unrelated to their product and then slyly plugging.
4- people need to get more involved in the wiki
5- would be nice to see a newbies section, for specific ring fencing of basic queries for new joiners. I see a lot of repeated questions by newbies.
6- would like more webinars - from vendors as now yes but also from active senior traders on here. Like a show and tell, or Q&A format similar to what futurestrader71 does already.

Nothing too seriously wrong though, this is still the best trading forum online! Still learning a lot here but there's always room to evolve!

Thanks

Sands.

7- I would like Mike to remember about the promised follow-up webinar to his first "afternoon with Big Mike" (thanks for that one!). I can see he even gave up the idea to schedule it at some point. I was nice when he had a placeholder for it under the upcoming-events

Since I post a lot of screen shots my main desire is some way to drag and drop images from the desktop into the reply box here to make it easier to post screen shots.

I wouldn't really consider this a dislike but more or less a consideration - Staggered comments when replying to specific messages would be nice for categorization of side tangents to not interfere with the main topic of a thread.

Mike,

I was thinking that on the small box where the topics are at, maybe you can highlight the topic for the user if he already participated in that thread. So if you are logged in, you could jump back in to see the updates posts.
This may increase participation and feed back from users.

Right now, you only see the updates via an email, but many don't open their emails frequently.

May require some programming but would be functional and useful.

Matt

Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. You may lose more than your initial investment. All posts are opinions and do not claim to be facts. Please conduct your own due diligence. Use only Risk capital when trading Futures.

wow I apologize I didn't read the first page. Interesting that you already have this covered because it's a game changer for the better especially considering most traders have multiple monitors making dragging and dropping a breeze compared to the traditional one monitor users where their browser is full screen blocking the ability to drag from the desktop.

It would be interesting to have a newsfeed for subscribed threads instead of having to open up each individual one. Each post in the feed would contain inside of it all the posts since you last opened the thread and the title of the thread on top of each box containing to identify which post belongs to which thread. Idk just an idea

One minor thing I dislike it that the layout isn't fluid. I don't run my browser full-screen, but rather have it sized such that I can place it alongside other windows I'm working on.

While other sites adapt their width to the width of the browser, this does not happen on nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) (I'm running FF 28.0, in case this is a browser issue).

For example, see the horizontal scroll bar for me in this topic:



It's not a huge issue, but I do find it somewhat annoying that with every visit to nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) I have to resize my browser.

There is a minimum width requirement of the forum. Otherwise things like the embeded videos and images wouldn't work (in their current form). Most the other sites don't have those features. Anyway, it will be updated in nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) 5 regardless.

Once you're here, you can never leave...

It's on the homepage, bottom right. Most people are using private computers and don't need to ever log out. Having multiple user accounts on futures.io (formerly BMT) is against our TOS.
