WE HAVE REVERTED BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SETUP DUE TO OVERWHELMING OPINION AGAINST STANDALONE SHOUTBOX BUT PLEASE DO VOTE AND POST AN OPINION HERE.

We have moved ShoutBox to a separate page on the request of many users, we have received many emails about this. We are going to try this for 1-2 days and see what other users think. We will then decide what to do.

BENEFITS OF HAVING SHOUTBOX ON A SEPARATE PAGE:

1. People watching RT charts will not be disturbed
2. We will save resources on the server as only people who want to participate in the shoutbox will view it instead of everybody looking at charts viewing it. This will in turn give us more resources for other website functionality thus speeding it up.
3. On the separate shoutbox page we are able to speed up shoutbox by refreshing it every 10 seconds compared to every 30 seconds in the embedded shoutbox on charts page.

PLEASE PARTICIPATE IN OUR POLL AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS. PLEASE POST ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THIS HERE.

Dear Sir
First of all I would like to pay my sincere thanks to icharts administration for the wonderful services they are providing through such a simple platform.
I shall further like to draw your attention that the most suitable location for sbox is on the charts page.
If any one has a query in his mind while studying the charts, one can place the same in sbox only to receive the reply from other experienced members within almost no time.
So it becomes not only a charting page with sbox but a "complete school" to learn so many things.
I request & hope that ichats administration will do the needful in this regard.
With thanks & regards
Krishna

I prefer separate location for shoutbox. As Swingtrader pointed out, it frees up server resources. Both shoutbox as well as charts will have more bandwidth by this arrangement. Those who want shoutbox can always open the shoutbox window along with the chart window.

Also I suggest to use the additional space gained by shifting shoutbox to increase the size of RT charts.

I see some messages that removing shoutbox will remove the advantage of learning. Undoubtedly, ShoutBox is a great tool for sharing knowledge and we are only discussing the relocation of it and it will be still be available for learning while providing more convenience for viewing.

Regards,
Krishna

Dear Sir.
Your idea of a shout box is noble and is well used by participating members.How ever we are aware that stock trading is a very serious bussiness and is driven by human emotions,and emotions in turn get effected by views ,therefore one must be very careful while presenting his/her view on the market,which I feel is not being done at very crucial juncture of the market.I think participating members must be accountable for thier views,good views must be appriciated by the adminitrator and opposite must be done for frivolous and silly comments.This of course will increase your responsibility but it may make this box more benificial to members.Alternatively you may grade members according to thier understanding of the market and only allow them to post views during market hours,it may be free for all after market.How ever I am in favour of stand alone shout box if members posting thier views are not ready to take any responsibility.
Thanking you
