Couple of questions:

[XOM]

Is there a way that all of the RSS feeds can be made not to show up when using the 'new posts' feature, perhaps via the user control panel settings? There are so many that imo it makes the reader not want to even read past the first 3 or 4 topics.

Secondly, what happened to all of the old the chat participants? Just normal attrition of a bear market or something else?

Sorry, I added some new feeds and forgot to exclude them from the new posts list. I just fixed it, so now you won't get 5 pages of new posts from the feeds!

The chat got really busy over the last few months, but with vacations and bad market days the last couple of weeks it got hammered. Hopefully some regulars will come back soon. Keep an eye on it, we will do some promotion, it only seems to work when there are fifteen or more on most of the time, without that "critical mass" it is too lonely in there. I hope Chinaman comes back soon, he took off for a couple of months last summer also, and he was a terrific participant.

This is getting really frustrating...enough so that I have quit coming to the site. Anyway to fix this? Thanks!!
