Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
If anyone else has anything to add, I'll be happy to put them on the Book Page at http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/resources/books/

That link seems to be broken. Was this the discussion you referred to?

That worked for one other person today. If it works for everyone that has trouble, Accipiter and I may have a clue to this problem.

I defer to Accipiter on the coding question, not only because my programming skills are fairly basic, but also because he's really well versed at making the Vanilla Board work. I personally don't have a preference over where the…

I have an old Netgear WGR614. It's been reasonably dependable for years, but it is subject to interference from our microwave oven.
David has a Netgear N150 and is quite satisfied. They have a household with at least 6 or 7 wireless devices, experi…

I'm sorry about that. It seemed to be browser-based and related to the size of the graph, but I think it's fixed now. Would you mind checking in your browser?
Thanks to Old_Joe we have an initial version of a user's guide. It can be found at http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/MFO-UG-p1-7.pdf
I think he did a great job. Do any of you have any feedback or suggestions? What do you…
I have an idea, and I'd welcome any feedback. I took Old_Joe's instructions and pasted them into a document, which I've made available at http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Tips.pdf It's also linked directly at the bottom o…
Hi, hawleyl.
Thanks for writing. Currently, there is not a user guide for the site, but I'd happily accept any help in creating one. The ticker look-up in the discussion is a really great feature, but so far it can't tell the difference between Pro…
Hi, Catch.
David has been busy travelling, and will only have a couple of days before his next trip. I'll attempt to gather some stats for you and the rest of the board.

My browser of choice is usually Chrome, these days. I find that it seems just a bit faster and more reliable overall. However, I currently have four installed on my laptop (IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera). This is a year old, low end laptop running …

Hi Alex,
Judging by the occasional reports from David, the Amazon link seems to be working well. I'll point out this thread to him, too.
Thanks, Catch.
We sent out a notice at work about this phishing attempt as it seemed quite a bit more sneaky than most. Remember that it's always wiser to go directly to a site by typing the address or using a bookmark in your browser, rather than …
Reply to @Mark:
If I purchase a paperback novel, I can read it and pass it on to a friend. They can do the same, and so on. At some point, it can be exchanged at a used book store or donated to a local library. I can't say the same for the e-book v…
@Ted
Ted,
That sounds frustrating. What browser are you using? I'll do some testing and see if I can figure out a way to keep you signed in.
Thanks,

I'm testing from Safari on an iPhone to see if I can replicate the problem.

This is using the embedded version of the discussion and the box expands correctly as I type.
Edit- interesting where my comment posted.
Good morning, Catch.
The saved drafts are not immediately available, even to folks with administrative access to the Vanilla Board software. I suppose if i went digging directly into the database, I could find your saved draft. It wouldn't be easy,…
Hi, MikeM.
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. I have one main question. Is the trouble just with the discussion board, or with all pages of the site?
I don't have a Kindle Fire, so trouble shooting might be a bit difficult, but we'll do all …
Reply to @Old_Joe:
Thanks so much for the kind words.
Accipiter has programming skills that far exceed my own, as well as a great understanding of what folks here might want to see. I'd be foolish not to accept, with gratitude, any expertise he'…
It's a great article, and it's generated lots of interest in the site. We won't have the stats on site visitors until tomorrow, but we have had 263 new people sign up for the mailing list so far. I'm impressed.
Hooray for David! You deserve every b…

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so happy you enjoy the new site.
Are you accessing the discussion board through the new link at http://www.mutualfundobserver.com/discussions-3/ or are you opening the discussion board …
Hi, Catch.
It sounds like you've already thought of most of the important stuff. You'll likely find that Windows 7 will make the driver installs for your printer and scanner easy, so long as the drivers exist. Also, the cable modem setup should be …
Changing the width of the container really doesn't make much difference to me. The discussion titles still line break at basically the same point, so I don't gain much vertical real estate by stretching horizontally. There might be some changes we c…

The discussion board is now encapsulated within a WordPress page using the embedVanilla plug-in. Additionally the width is determined by the custom theme for WordPress that was developed by a talented volunteer. I can't easily …
