fundingsecure, thanks for posting. I guess the answer is more loans, which is something I'm sure you're working on already!

Good plan, but unfortunately not - the adverts are how ProBoards pay for hosting / supporting all these free boards.

I must commend the admins of this forum for treading the fine line between letting the discussion take place, and not allowing the whole discussion to descend into chaos. And I do feel rather guilty for obviously bringing you guys a fair amount of extra, obviously unpaid, work. Yup, we do it all for "fun"! The aim being to use as light a touch as possible to provide a fair, consistent place for polite discussion. Flame wars R not Us. What has concerned me somewhat is how this thread is now in the depths of the SavingStream sub-forum, so now hardly anyone will see it. Whilst I understand the reason for it being moved, I must confess, I don't agree with it. It was my decision to move it - sometimes it's better to move individual posts, sometimes whole threads, often best not to do anything at all. In this case yes, the thread started off as generalised, but quickly got into the specifics of Saving Stream so I thought it was better in the Saving Stream board. I left a "Moved: " post in the Forum Feedback board that redirects people here, so it's now more visible than when it was in the Forum Feedback board.

I think it's a bit like the furore over the BBC and the polar bears (the first hit from Google). People expect things to be what they say they are unless they're told otherwise. If the BBC had said the scene was filmed in a studio or it was pointed out that "this is a picture of a type X boat, not the type X boat" people may be a little happier. That said anyone could download pictures off the internet and say they had one held as security against a loan. For startups confidence needs to be earned, especially where people's hard earned cash is involved. Funding Secure have the same issue - people suggested they took pictures with their logo / business card visible to make it clearer they actually had the items. Maybe you could do the same while still obscuring any specific identifiers that tie the yachts to particular people? The "James Marshall" picture is a completely different kettle of fish...

[mod hat on] batchoy, you're doing a very good job of pointing out issues and holding Saving Stream to account, but please stay calm and take the emotion out of your posts. Thanks. Time for a cuppa all round. One lump or two?

Very nice, but why "coin"? Surely "card"?

Hi all, thanks for voting. Looks like the consensus is to leave things as they are. Have now closed the poll.

And now the content of the new forum has been deleted and replaced by a sarky post from guess who. Ouch! And there I was still pondering what the blank "Home" page was trying to tell me.

Nothing happens when I click on the preview button. Does it need activating in some way? It should change from showing the post with BBCode tags visible to a wysiwyg preview. If you've only got plain text in the post it will just change it from Courier New font to Verdana. Click the "Quote" button on this past and you should see the BBCodes for quoting posts. Then click on Preview and it should change to a nicely formatted box.

One of the sponsors has just said that an auction will be extended given the current issues.
